One good place for that is :

alt.internet.wireless

If Microsoft hardware is infolved, there's
microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware

The issue is setting the same bit length of key at both ends, and, of
course, the same key. If setting by passphrase doesn't work, set one end by
passphrase, and choose the hex for key 1 generated from that passphrase, and
enter the hex at the other end.
