Question Cannot connect my Android 2.2 tablet PC to my home wifi

Hi, I cannot seem to make my new Android Tablet 2.2 connect to my home wifi network. When I go to wireless networks, my network does not even appear. I then, went to add wifi network and I entered my network's ssid, then the wpa/wpa2 psk setting password. The network now appears in the list, but it says out of range. If I go and stand right next to the router it says remembered, security enabled, but the wifi option above it (where it normally just shows that it is on) switches to disconnected. If I tap that option it turns the wifi off. I tapped it again to turn it back on and my network appears as remembered, security enabled. I tap that and select connect, but it just makes the wifi appear as disconnected again.

I'm pretty beginner at this tech stuff and I have read other posts regarding this same issue, but I don't understand how to do any of the suggested fixes that people have offered. Can someone please walk me through this like I'm a two year old?? Thank you soooooo much!!

I have similar issue.
I purchased Asus EeePad Transformer (used) from someone and tried to connect to my secured router. Failed. Tried many time but did not work. Asus tablet has genuine Android 3.1 on it.
My secured router is secured using WPA2 with "passphase".
Then I bought a NEW Tablet (not a well known brand) with Android 2.3 and tried to connect to the same secured router with same settings. Worked without any issue.
Recently I bought a used Samsung Galaxy tab from someone. Tried to conenct to the secured router but failed. Galaxy tab has genuine Android 3.1 on it.

Is the problem related to 3.1 or there is something else I should do (but its working on another tablet).
Another difference is that it worked on a brand new tablet but failed on two tablets that I bought from someone (but both of these tablets have original Android 3.1 on them). Should I apply factory reset?
