WPA encryption problems with Windows Mobile

Having just bought a new wireless router, I decided to take the opportunity to increase my wireless security. Part of this process involved changing the default name of the network and enabling WPA encryption. Before I made these changes, I was able to connect to the network wirelessly using my Orange SPV M3100 but, since changing the network password, the connection cannot be established. How can I change the settings on my handheld to include the newly added password?

Changing network passwords is one of those settings in Windows Mobile that's only obvious when you know where it is. To make the change, go to Start > Settings > Connections. Click the Wi-Fi icon, tap and hold the name of your connection and select Edit from the menu that appears. Click Next and you'll be given the opportunity to enter a new network key. After clicking Next followed by Finish, you should finally be able to connect to your network.
