I cannot get our printer to connect to our wifi. When we originally get the printer we had a WEP password and it was fine, but ever since we went to WPA its never worked.

I'm using the wizard, it see's the router (signal strength is "excellent") and I enter the password. After about 30 seconds it just says "setup failed". I get the option to print a report, but its not a lot of help, under the "check network connection" section, it just says "PASS" on everything except "detailed IP setup check" it says "unknown".

Any idea's? Has anyone else got an Epson SX525 on their wifi?

It does accept WPA

WLAN Security WEP 64 Bit, WEP 128 Bit, WPA PSK (TKIP), WPA PSK (AES)

Are you sure it's not WPA2 that you're using?

Definitely WPA PSK (AES). On the printed report it also says

Communication Mode: WPA-PSK(AES)
