How are you entering the key?
As a phrase or the numeric key?

The passphrase won't work - it's just a shorthand used by your router to generate a key. (Pretty sure that's the case for all routers, but open to correction.)

Are you in a position to turn off encryption for a few minutes to see if
everything else is really working?
