I can't be of much help, but I have found the WiFi to be pretty unreliable. It seems to connect to a new network fine for me the first time I use it...then never again with any reliability or extended duration.

Lets get the simple questions out of the way...
Are you near available networks?

Have you loadeded WMWiFiRouter? When i used the full install version it seemed to screw with my being able to connect or even detect access points. I ended up just using the version that doesnt do any configuration and set up my own ad-hoc for it and its working fine now.

Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi is "Networks to access" set to "All Available"?

what the hell is up with this!! it's the most annoying thing ever. I'm running dcd 1.6.10 and the signals (which are abundant) are only detected a small portion of the time and an even smaller portion of those times am I actually able to use the internet. so frustrating! Could this be a certificate issue?? prob not since it deals with both detection and connection, please help.

this has been happening to me for the last 3 weeks. I'm all around available networks. My setting are set to all available networks. My network adapters are set to internet (I even tried setting them to work). Popwermode is set to best performance and my friend who has a 6800 was right next to me and we both turned wifi on but mine showed no networks while his did. I'm using Rom version 2.09

It appears that HTC has a batch of Mogules on the market that the Wifi will not work properly. Mine is one of them. I believe we have faulty devices. I have seen this issue posted so many times. If your device is less than a year old then take it back because it's under a year factory warranty.
