[SOLVED] Can't connect to BT Business Hub 3.0 WiFi

Hello,

I've recently moved to London (United Kingdom) and today I received the router for broadband by BT.
I've connected it to the ADSL line and powered on, but even if I can see the 'BTHub3-K3FN' WiFi signal I'm not able to connect to it. I click on the WiFi for connect but it automatically switch to another WiFi (BTOpenzone or BTWiFi).
Currently I'm using it by the Ethernet cable and all work fine. But I need to receive the WiFi connection too in order to use in the rest of the house.
I'm using Arch Linux 32-bit, official kernel 3.3.1-1-ARCH, and networkmanager 0.9.2.0-3.
The router is a BT Business Hub 3.0.

Thank you for your time,

Gianluca

I have to say that the problem occurs only with this router (or WiFi). My flatmate with Windows XP hasn't any problem at all to catch the WiFi and browse the internet.
I've used the WiFi for one month here in London between my hostel and Nero Coffee with the same laptop, and it worked fine.
Also in my house and work in Italy I never had problems with WiFi.

I'm an idiot. I was trying to use the Admin Password instead of the WiFi Key.
Apologise.

I've known a few people do that. It's not as uncommon as you might think.
Incidentally, check the services of that router, you may have OpenZone running. That's not necessarily a bad thing if you have guests who have a subscription or if you're happy sharing the bandwidth. Apparently it's only a small amount. But you can turn it off.

Thank you for the advice Shanky, I'll check it soon.
