Let's see what we can do to troubleshoot the phone first, before we go and replace the router. To start off, let's get some info here.
1: When the phone states it is unable to connect, what is the actual error you receive, if any?
2: If you go to Settings, select Wi-Fi, and then click on the Blue Arrow next to your network name, do you see any info such as an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a DNS server filled in?
3: Is the IP address a 169.254.x.x address?
4: Have you tried forgetting your network from your phone, and then re-entering your security key? WEP keys should be typed in all caps, whereas WPA and WPA2 keys are case sensitive.
