He knows the WPA passkey, but it doesn't like it (I asked him to check the usual - upper or lower case etc)
If they turn off the security, then it'll connect, but obviously they don't want to do that.
Any suggestions?

There are lots of different variants ( see here http://www.darknet.org.uk/2008/12/confused-by-wep-wpa-tkip-aes-other-wireless-security-acronyms/ )
Maybe one is set to WPA2 or maybe AES instead of TKIP ?
Hope that helps

Sometimes you need to insert a $ before the password on a Mac with certain routers. It could be worth trying that.
Finally, check the router's firmware is up-to-date.

As I typed that I got a lost connection symbol on my airport, can only get a connection via the ethernet cable. iPhone seems to hold the connection until I go upstairs and it drops. Used to be able to get a connection in the upstairs bedroom no probs. No changes in the modems position, electrical items around it or anything. Very frustrating. Last time a firmware upgrade solved this problem. Router is fully up to date.
