I recently reformatted and reinstalled systems on my laptop and desktop.
As part of the process, I reset the router and reprogrammed it with a
new network name and login code.

I have a SB2 that used to work fine with WPA TKIP. When I started
reprogramming everything, I thought I would try WPA2 AES. The
Squeezebox seemed to work fine with that. But I also have an XBox 360,
and their wireless network device will only work with WPA, not WPA2. So
I had to change the router (linksys wrt300n) to WPA TKIP. Now the
laptop, print server, XBox 360 work fine...but the SB2 does not.

The SB2 logs into the network fine when wireless security is set to
off. It can log in to SqueezeNetwork and play music wirelessly off my
computers. The network strength is 87%, so I don't think that's the
issue.

But when I turn on WPA TKIP and dial in the preshared key, it tries to
connect for 30 seconds and then gives me the "Wireless encryption
failure" error. I am 100% sure I am typing the psk in correctly, paying
attention to case. I have factory reset the router twice (and it has the
latest firmware). I have factory reset the Squeezebox twice. I have
changed the psk and typed in the new one after a factory reset. No
dice. All of my other WPA-TKIP devices work fine.

Like I said, none of this is an issue when security is turned off (and
its the same whether SSID broadcast is enabled or disabled). And I am
100% sure I am typing in the key correctly into Squeezebox.

One other weird bit of behavior--if it gives me the wireless encryption
error, it says, go left to go back, go right to try again. If I go
right, it does the same thing. If I go left, it gives me the "enter
your WPA password" screen...but it doesn't give me a cursor or arrow or
highlighted box over a character or anything, so no chance to edit the
PSK. In addition, if I go up or down (as if to change the character
that the missing highlight box would be over), the box resets, with the
Logitech and Squeezebox splash screens...every time I choose up or down
at the "Enter your WPA password," as long as one has been entered. I
can't ever edit it without doing a factory reset to erase the WPA
password I put in before.
