Help Need a fix for "Invalid Password" on wi-fi

After I charged the phone, I turned it on and hit cancel right away on the activating, and chose the wifi-only for data. It found my home router just fine (I have a years-old Linksys B/G using WPA2) and it asked for my password. Then it told me the password was invalid, even though I have checked it and my laptop uses that same password just fine.

Got into the router settings and they say TKIP+AES and Automatic Configuration DHCP

I was able to log in with a password first try at my public library and also on my cable provider's wi-fi. So it seems to be an issue with my router

I bought the phone directly from VMU website. It shipped on June 19. It has a small Sprint logo on the front and no branding on the back.
 
I've had issues with using passphrases instead of passwords... you don't happen to have any spaces in your password do you?
 
I got it working, here's how:

Powered down and then powered back up the router.

Used the passphrase key, case sensitive, instead of the password

I could swear I tried that before unsuccessfully, but it's working for now. Yay!!
