Unable to connect PS3 to Cisco/Linksys EA2700

Hi guys, got a strange one here.

PS3 fails to connect to my Cisco/Linksys EA2700 via WiFi (802.11n 2.4GHz). It just says "Failed, please check security settings"... vague.

I have several devices connected wirelessly to the EA2700 with no problems, my PS3 just refuses to connect. Checked and retyped the security code in many a time but to no avail.

The PS3 can connect wirelessly to my Sky router using 802.11n 2.4GHz, just doesn't seem to like the EA2700.

Has anyone experienced this?

Daft question but you have put the security key in using the correct case?

What encryption method is your router using (TKIP or AES)? If the router is set to just one switch it to mixed.

Is the router also broadcasting G/B? IIrc PS3 doesn't like N.

Mixed I believe, will have to double check.

N only. It's never had problems with N on any other WAPs though could've been set to mixed. Will set to G and try though, is the PS3 Slim not N compatible?? Bit ridiculous if it isn't.
