I got the same problem. Well, when security is off, it connects, but with a WPA key is does not work. Well i am not that much further. i can try a different channel, maybe the n900 can only receive on channels 6 through 9 or something, which would suck. WEP encryption in a flat full of students, rather not. normal WPA instead of WPA-PSK ?

Ill post here later on to tell what worked for me.

Another wild troubleshooting guess... Did you happen to enable MAC filtering on your router when you set it up? I have a similar issue when I forget to enter any new WiFi device MAC address into my router.

going to WEP seems to solve the problem for me.

I do see the attempt to connect in my router, though it blocks the N900. So maybe one could try WPA and manually configure IP settings. Might work.

Same problem connecting to a router with WPA-PSK usimg AES encryption. I can connect to a WEP AP no prob though. I have not tried against WPA2 because too may other devices I have would not connect to that either.

Yay! Got it to work! I took out the battery and left it without the battery for a couple hours(I was going to send it back, so I put everything in the same way I got it). Then I wanted to try one last time, and when I tried, it worked instantly... the weirdest thing is that I had aleady tried taking the battery out 2 times before and it didnt work.

Nokiafarce, Iv tried that. Id didnt work. I even tried at a friends house and at burger king. But thanks for the help

I just hope it doesnt go back to being weird. I hardly want to wait for another n900! Now I can finally play with it ^^

Thanks to everyone who helped me in this thread

Edit: It wasnt the battery.. it was n900 wouldnt connect to WPA-1 (Dont remember the exact name), but it connects to WPA2. I forgot that I changed my security to WPA Auto (I think thats what its called). So I tried to check to be sure, and it does connect to WPA2 but not normal WPA. But why didnt it work at burger king? ><

i could not make my N900 connect to my D-Link router at home with WPA - had to switch to using WEP instead.

but today i had to reflash N900 and decided to try and connect using WPA again after flasing it. at first it still would not connect, insisting that passphrase was incorrect. i then tried changing some settings on the router, and, lo and behold, disabling Wireless QoS/WMM (whatever that is...) made it connect at last!

this D-Link DI320 router is set to WPA/WPA2 auto mode, so not sure on which one N900 connects to it... but at least it connects on WPA now. of course, there could be a completely different reason for it being able to connect...

now, to make my wii connect using WPA...
