It wouldn't connect. You can view the password in NM and it looked correct ... I checked several times but no luck. I wiped out the password by holding down the backspace key and I noticed I might have entered a leading space by mistake. So try to put the password in the network manager settings dialog paying close attention to what you entered. If that fails go back to the router and re-enter the password again just in case you have some invisible characters there. This might also happen with the SSID. If all else fails I would set the SSID to something simple (say 3 characters) and the same for the password just for a test to see if you can connect. Also make sure the WPA2 is set to AES encryption. This is the recommended setting and I know it works with my NM in debian testing.
