Any suggestions would be appreciated
I hate to be negative but I went through the same experience myself with another linksys router. I have a 2 year old linkys 54g router and tried to upgrade to a linksys wireless n router with extended range. same thing happen to me. no matter what setting I setup it would not allow me to secure it with the phone. I finally gave up and went back to my original g router with no problems. I tried calling linksys directly and my carrier and both had no clue how to get it working properly. Sorry if this doesnt help but in my experience, some of the routers just dont work well with ppc phones.

by the way, the router you listed is the same one I had tried to upgrade to... no luck though. the one that does work is the linksys wrt54g router. hope this helps.
