Cinema Installation Kit

Just received our Directv Cinema Installation Kit.  It seemed to install seemlessly enough, but it will not take our security key.  And yes, I made sure the puncuation and spelling was all correct. It is not an elaborate password, it is a relatives street address.  Just a couple of numbers and 2 capital letters, the rest lower case.  We have WHDVR. It is a HR23/700.  The kit is installed as per the instructions using the DECA box.  What to do now?

Well, after doing a search and reading thru some of the responses, I figured out what seemed to be our problem.  I had an   &    sign in our network name.  Removed it...and now it connected.  Go figure!  I would delete this if I could figure out how.

No need to delete, others will profit from your excellent troubleshooting.  The Directv remote has no ability to enter anything but letters and numerals, thus the restriction on any punctuation.
