"First post so don't be too harsh!

Was given the N+ router today as my old one broke. Works fine for all the laptops and computers in my house but when it came to setting up the connection for the PS3 I'm having huge difficulties. Every time I go to wireless settings I go to scan to find the wireless connection but it says access point cannot be detected. If i manually enter in the SSID and enter in my WEP key an 8001000A error comes up an i cannot connect to the internet. SSID is broadcasting from the router and wireless channel is set to auto (currently broadcasting 1). I am completely stumped at what to do as it seems that my PS3 is not even detecting the router.

And yes I do know now that this router is renowned for its incompatibility with the PS3. However, any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! "
