Default Wi-fi Question?

Alright, so I just set up a new wireless network in my house. I tried to connect to the Internet through Safari on my iPod Touch after completely installing the network. I went to Settings and then Wi-fi. I chose the network I had just created, and it asked for a password. I setup a password for my network, so I was pretty sure that would be the pass for iPod Touch. Well see, when I go to enter the password and finish typing it in, I try to click Join in the bottom right hand corner, but I won't let me press Join. The button is grayed even though I have completely typed in password. Any tips on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

What security did you set up? WEP? WPA-PSK? WPA2-PSK?

In the earlier versions of the iPhone that was mandatory, I even had to enter the 26 digit thing for it to work. But after 1.1.1 that was not necessary any longer. Just the passPhrase is required.

I just added another router last week with the new AT&T U-Vurse and all I had to do was just enter the router name and password and it connected right away. The AT&T is "G" channel 1 and my Netgear Gigabit N is channel 11 and so when roaming around the house the stronger one connects.

Okay so you have your security WPA and your password is set in your router, and the router is broadcasting?

Then go to iphone, settings/wifi make sure "Ask to join networks" blue butn is on. Make sure wifi blue butn is on at top.

Click choose a network, your phone should have a popup to join your network with, then add the passPhrase and hit join.

If you already entered it from a previous time, you want to delete that by clicking forget this network

Are you at this point??

Off topic, but @ the OP - your avatar is neat. Clever idea.
