Hi there, we have just had VDSL connected at our house this morning. I have since setup the router and have been connecting all of our devices this evening to the new service. I have no issues with my wife's phone (Galaxy S2), iPad Air, PC laptop, my Galaxy S1, and the PS3. I do however have an issue trying to connect our iMac. For some reason it won't connect even though the Wifi SSID is found, I enter the WPA/WPA2 PSK and it states that the connection failed.

This is very frustrating as everything else is working fine. OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks is what the iMac is running in case that's important. Has anyone else experienced this or could offer me some tips please?

Very impressed with our connection now (relative to the "rural" Taranaki ADSL speed we had before!):

Cheers for the tips guys, I have spent the last couple of hours trying the different settings mentioned such as setting the channel frequency etc. All of this was to no avail, i.e. setting to 5 GHz only or 2.4 GHz. I discovered a WiFi best practices document on Apple Support and, blow me down, after following all of their recommended settings all of a sudden it will connect!

It was called "iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points" FYI.
