Lets see if these will connect if you temporarily disable WPA on the modem. See if any of the Android devices connect. IF they do, then re-enable WPA2 and AES only on the modem, then see if they connect.
Try setting a manual channel as well on the modem, try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Thanks for the advice. But before I got a chance to test out you suggestions I noticed by phone was connected to the 5Ghz of the Wi-Fi and now internet it working fine. To the best of my knowledge the router didn't receive any update and neither did my phone. I would just chalk it up to me being a dummy and screwing up trying to connect at first, but I have several friends try as well and none of us could get it to work. But now it does, so problem solved I guess.

Ok. Might have been just odd ball thing with the phone. Glad it's working now.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
