Unable to connect to WiFi on 10.6.8

I just moved to a new apartment and have thus far been unable to connect to the WiFi here.
After browsing these forms and Google and trying a good number of solutions that worked for others I'm left at a loss. I running a MacBook Pro 15" with OSX 10.6.8 SL and attempting to connect througn WiFi to a Netgear WPN824v3 with no success.
I am able to see the SSID in my Airport dropdown and it recognizes that it is secured with WPA however, when I enter the correct password it states: "Connection Failed" If I enter the wrong password it states: "Invalid Password"
I have tried restarting multiple times. I shutdown and rebooted manually,
Rebooted the router,
Deleted:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Reset my NVRAM,
Changed the routers mode from 108Mb to G&B only as well as changing the channel to both 1 then 11, (its currently back on 108Mb mode and channel 6)
Installed all software updates as of 03/21/13.
I also tried repairing disk permissions.
I'm currently at a loss and can only connect through ethernet here at my apartment while my roommates (and my phone) can access through the wifi. (I have no issue connecting to other Wifi connections, coffee shops etc.) Any help you guys could provide would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Josh

Also, please note that I attempted connecting with a USB Wifi adapter (Alfa AWUS036h) and it works completly fine. This, and please correct me if im incorrect, narrows it down to an Airport issue.
Also, I forgot to mention that I attempted the "Assist Me" function as well but to no avail.

I am unable to connect to wifi on my Iphone 5

I have rest my phone and everything and I am still unable to connect to wifi. I entered my passcode at my apartment and it didn't work and now I am at my university and I have entered my secure passcode and it is still not working. Can you please help me with this?

I was experiencing the same problem. Tried numerous fixes. What finally worked was I went into Settings>General>About; recorded my Wi-Fi Address, and manually entered it into my router as an recognized/allowed device. Selected by network, entered the password on the iPhone, and Bingo! I was in!!
Good Luck

I called Apple and explained the problem. After I explained the wifi connection problems, they said it was a hardware issue and sent me to my local Apple store and exchanged mine for a new iPhone. I backed it up prior to getting the new phone and it was easily restored.

Unable to connect to wifi Linksys

Purchased IPAD 2 four days ago and I have been on the phone with customer service and read several forums and I am still unable to connect to WiFi even though I have two Laptops and a wireless printer which all work fine. I have done all resets, changed my security to WPA from WEP after speaking to customer support at Apple but still unable to connect. I have a Linksys router WRT54GS and would replace it if I knew this would help but I am not seeing anything to say this will work. Any suggestions?

Unable to connect to WiFi temp fix

IM in IT with a major 500 company and what I've done to be able to connect to my wifi at home was to go into the router setting and change the wifi channel from auto to 1-11 and that worked for me. When I was connect to my wifi at home I was getting unable to connect to wifi. I noticed this after upgrading to iOS6. It looks like IOS6 has issues with the Channel functions on the router it's connecting to. Although you are able to connect I noticed that the signal will sway from 3 to 2 bars and this has nothing to do with your router but how the iPhone searches and connects to WiFi locations. The only fix for that would be for apple to fix its iOS.

Try this -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

Are all wi-fi networks you are trying to connect with on the road open public wi-fi hotspots?

unable to connect to wifi with a ipod touch 5.1.1////the wifi remains gray

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

But have you tried turning your ROUTER off and on?

E72 unable to connect to WIFI or GPRS after firmwa...

I hope someone here can help with my problem. My E72 cannot connect to WIFI or GPRS after I got a firmware update. Whenever I try to connect, I get error messages like "Connection not available" or "Web: Unable to perform operation". My software version is 054.005 for RM-530. I have tried reinstalling the firmware update thru Ovi suite, but it did not help. Also tried *#7370# and the phone still won't connect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try with Hard Reset (shift+space+backspace+on/off). Make a full backup before!

Unable to Connect to WiFi after iPhone power off; WiFi & internet are working with MBP; common problem, no solutions?

Here's my setup: Internet <> Comcast/xFinity supplied cable modem <> new Apple Time Capsule <> iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro (see below for hardware details)
Internet on my iPhone 4 has been acting slow since yesterday evening. My MacBook Pro was running fine, but just to be sure I checked the Comcast website to see that I have only used 50GB of my allotted 250 GB of data for the month, so it's not that.
I decided it must be a problem with just my iPhone, so I opened up the multitasking bar and quit everything in there manually, and then I held the on/off button, and slid the slider to power off. When I started back up, I could not connect to the same WiFi I had just been using. I tried to reconnect and nothing. I tried to forget the network and try again, nothing. I tried to reset all network settings, nothing.
I have tried all the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections"
Toggled WiFi off and back on
Made sure I am in range of the router (it's about 8 feet away and my iPhone reports full signal from the network)
Made sure all the hardware is connected and on
Checked other devices (I'm successfully connected with my MacBook Pro right now)
Checked for router firmware upgrades (I have a new Time Capsule from Apple with the current 7.5.2 firmware which I've been using for a month)
Restarted my device (again)
Checked that the network is available (it does show on my iPhone)
Restarted my Time Capsule
Checked my router configuration as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3727 "Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network" which involves simply checking to see that WMM is turned on, also stating that WMM cannot be enabled or disabled for Apple's AirPort products.
Reset my network settings (again)
I have searched and searched for fixes to this problem, and I have additionally tried:
Enabling/disabling Airplane Mode
Disabling any network password protection/encryption (no luck), re-enabling it (no luck)
Changing the network password
Checking for hardware addresses present in iOS Settings > General > About (they are present and not zero'ed out)
Switching Bluetooth off (nothing) and back on (nothing)
....and probably a few other things I can't think of right now
I have yet to try:
The "Freezer Trick" which apparently involves chilling the iPhone to get a temporary fix?
Restoring the iPhone (I would really rather not)
A different WiFi network (other than my own Time Capsule home network or guest network, both of which give the same Unable to Connect error)
So, after all of that, are there any more ideas? Is there a reliable solution to this issue? So far I've just seen a lot of "mess with the settings," "the freezer trick worked," and "blame it on the iOS 4 update."
Here are my hardware details:
iPhone 4; iOS 5; 32GB; AT&T; no cellular data plan (July 2011)
TimeCapsule6,113; Firmware 7.5.2; 2TB (September 2011)
MacBook Pro 3,1; Mac OS X (10.7.2); 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Hi-Res Display; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD (August 2007)
...and the Time Capsule config:
http://cl.ly/BCUt

Ugh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?
