WPA and the password I put in is the right one

What type of encryption do you have selected on your router? And I am not referring to WPA or WEP. TKIP or AES?

It's WPA Personal TKIP.

Your router should allow the option of both. Do you see an option that says 'TKIP or AES'? They will be an option together.

Here is an example:

Try going to manage connections, then Wi-Fi options. Delete the connection you created and start completely over. Try that and report back.

Hi Maybe this will help you. I had the same problem and I know I was entering it right but still got the security key wrong. so i went into the router settings and copied the password by computer not hand - emailed it to myself (I have data and wifi). then I copied it from the email I rec'd and pasted it in when i was prompted for the password and it worked.
