Can't get password to work for 2.4 GHZ on WPA2-PSK [AES]

I recently updated the firmware on my N600. Now I cannot get the 2.4 ghz band to allow WPA2 encrycption. I've changed the password multiple times, but, no luck. Can login with no encryption or WEP just fine. 5 ghz works fine as well.

  • Occasionally, a firmware upgrade uses configuration settings that are incompatible with the old version.  Try performing a factory reset and reconfigure by hand.  Do not load any configuration file saved by the old version.  Be sure to write down or take screenshots of the current settings.
