Double check your password, any zero's will have a slash through them, and it is case sensitive.

Quite probably, there not being much ( if any information about the wireless ( dongle? ) fitted its difficult to suggest what might be the problem but given the sort of problems sometimes seen with other wireless adaptors the following are worth trying:
Temporarily, set the wireless security on the router to None and see if the TV can connect , that will prove if the wireless adaptor works at all. Do NOT ( repeat NOT ) leave the router in this state, you must put security back to WPA at least ( see below ) , whatever happens. If that doesn't work the wireless on the TV is not working at all.
If above works then try combinations of:-
Changing security to WPA only.
Changing the SSID on the router to something simpler than the default ( say 8 alpha characters ).
Changing the password to something simpler than the default ( say 8 alpha characters )
Hopefully one of those will work.
