Remove all the stored wireless network profiles. Connect with a wired connection and enable encryption on the router. Search for the network and enter the exact encryption key you used in the router, you should connect.

Actually, yours is the SPECIFIC one you want to delete! It's the one that potentially has the incorrect stored encryption key!

Glad we could assist. Remember that when you go back to your Dad's place.

The smart money is to change the default SSID on one of these networks (or both of them) so that they are unique.
