N900 can find WEP networks, but not WPA or WPA2 networks
 
I'm not sure if anyone has had this or not, I did some searching on this forum but couldn't find a thread which talked about this issue.

I got myself a new router, set everything up. My laptop has no issues of finding/connecting to both WEP and WPA networks, but my N900 can only find the WEP networks. I know in the past that I was able to find and connect to both, but right now I have no idea what the problem is, I tried every kind of WPA settings that there are, still no luck. Any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

My router is a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH

I have recently bought a new router and connect fine with WPA2 so not an issue with the N900. Do you see any wireless networks in the connection list with the double-key padlock icon? Those are the WPA ones. Check your router is set to broadcast its SSID etc.

@JohnLF
I do not see any dual key ones, I know those are WPA2. I used to see them, I know that for sure.

@9000
The firmware is:
DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std
(SVN revision 14998)

The version of your firmware is having issue with kernel power. For details and follow-up, you may refer to this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=60596

Someone in this thread reported that SVN revision 13525 std is working with kernel power, but I wondered if you could find a lower version of the firmware to downgrade.

I am having the same problem.

Router: Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N-EU, Firmware: DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std (SVN revision 14998)

After installing the power kernel: 2.6.28.10power42, my N900 was unable to see the AP, which ran with the security settings: WPA2 Personal Mixed (TKIP+AES).

After changing (TKIP+AES) to (TKIP), the AP was visible again.

Cisco WAP4410N with firmware 2.0.4.2 in use here, in combination with Cisco RVS4000 v1 router. Hidden SSID with VLAN and WPA2 Personal AES only; no mixed mode. Working perfectly together with kp49.

I have had the same issues also both with the n900 and n9. Managed to get it up running changing the radio channels however I have an Asus RT -N56U. Don`t know if it is the same on your routers

I have a Cisco router that uses WPA: the N900 works fine with it.

I updated the router firmware today.
Router: Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N-EU is now running
Firmware: DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (05/25/11) std (SVN revision 17135).
Switched the Wireless Security Settings from WPA2 Personal Mixed (TKIP) to WPA2 Personal Mixed (TKIP+AES), and the AP remains visible and accessible.

You might also consider switching to OpenWRT firmware instead of quite obsolete (stale) DD-WRT.
