K3 won't connect over AES

I have a 3G Kindle 3 (f/w 3.3) that I've been running over our local Wifi using WPA/TKIP for over a year without any problems. I have just switched over the router wifi settings to WPA2/AES (11n), as everything in the house now supports 11n/AES, or so I thought! All the other wifi devices are working fine, including a newer Kindle 4 wifi, but not my 3!

It can see the wifi network, but just will not connect on the new settings. I've re-entered the password (22 character alpha-numeric), done the 20s reset, but it still wont connect.

As everything else is working, I don't want to switch back to WPA/TKIP, so how can I fix this? Does the K3 actually support AES?

RE: K3 won't connect over AES

It's probably a question for the Amazon Kindle support helpline. Or I'd wonder about your 22 alphanumeric p/w. As I've posted before I was the guy who some time ago spent hours typing a w when it was vv. I also very recently got my SendtoReader p/w wrong for Firefox.

enter the menu and reset kindle to factory defaults , then enter your settings again this should work , you won't loose anything as Amazon have it all backed up . I had the similar problem when my kindle would not log on to 3G networks .
