I have had problems with 2 different routers. One is a Linksys and the other is a Belkin G I believe. The G1 would not connect when using the short password you created (does that make sense?) I had to use the long password that is default with the router. I swear it's gotta be like 20 characters, mixed with letters and numbers. I wish I could remember the techincal names of each password haha. I forget things frequently. Hopefully that helps someone! In my opinion, a very strange fix.
