I am connecting my first ESP8266 to my wifi

Below is the console response when I try to connect:

...preamble...
Ai-Thinker Technology Co.,Ltd.

ready
WIFI DISCONNECT

OK
AT+GMR

AT version:0.40.0.0(Aug 8 2015 14:45:58)

OK
AT+CWJAP="Netcomm 8532","password"

+CWJAP:1

FAIL


It takes around 10-15seconds to get the response +CWJAP:1 FAIL

ESP8266 is brand new, powered from 3.3v regulator running from 800ma power supply
Everything is functioning ok except cannot connect to Router..

Any ideas on what I could do to get this working?

Do you have any LOGs from the server?
Have you tried with a SSID that does not contain a whitespace?
Is the password at least eight characters long?

Yes ! more than a year and half ago, I've figured out that space were not allowed in SSID in ESP, I had to change by route AP and use dash instead. Maybe it still an issue.

I think instead of CIPMUX=1 what you really mean is CWMODE=1
