Router and Wireless Ps3 Problems. Please help.

Question

well ok i had a previous router, wireless, and it work well with my ps3. Then i found out hey wait, my NAT type 3 is preventing me from playing with my friends. So i tried to fix it. Well something went wrong and my router just completely failed on me. So i went and bought a Linksys WRT160N. Bam it was amazing. My internet work on my ps3 and computer. But yet i still had a NAT type3. The only positive thing was i now had uPnP avaliable. So i went to try and fix my NAT type....then something went wrong again. Today i was opening the ports b/c someone said open your ports to change NAT 3 to NAT 2. Then all of a sudden i try my connection on my ps3 and it says Error 8013013E, cannot reach the access point. It wouldnt even get the Ip Adress. Everything is typed in right and the WPA security, but still cant connect to the access point. Plus if this helps, when i try to do the Wi-Fi Protective Setup, it says failed. I was thinking about just returning the router to its manufactured state but i dont know how. Any suggestions??
