The solution for me was to change the wireless channel on the router from the one that it was on (13)to 7.
Where did you purchase router and phone? Routers capable of using 13 are not sold in US or using 3rd party FW which if you're in the US is illegal and would explain why the phone didn't work.
Channel plans vary by location.
