I appreciate that this might be similar to other threads, but none seem to be giving me any clues or answers, hence the need for a new one.
My wifi connects to my home network, and the pda reports back as connected. However, I can't get any programs to connect through it any more.
I don't use a GPRS data connection. My USB connection works fine when connected to my desktop. However, when relying only on the wifi connection, I get no joy. I had it working just fine until a few days ago - not changed or added anything, apart from re-installing s2u2 (and subsequent uninstalling it has made no difference).
Can anyone shed any light on why the wifi no longer wants to play, and any suggestions on a cure for this? Please?

Lately I have been reading many post related to Wifi problems in the HD. I had the same. Even I was very near my router I couldn't connect to the net and the signal was very weak.
So I entered my router configuration and I found a solution.
Before, for security options I had: WPA-PSK [TKIP] then I changed to WPA2-PSK [AES] (of course you also have to change your HD connection configuratoin), and now it works great¡¡¡¡
Now I have all the bars for the signal and I can connect very easily.
Hope it works for other people
I have a similar WiFi connectivity problem, but after reading of the poor service provided by most vendors and HTC itself, I will try to gather some more experience with the problem before I contact HTC or my vendor, and hopefully find a solution. Bellow is my experience so far:
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.
I could add to the above mentioned problems.
i got a new hd just few days back.
The wifi worked great. But now it doesnt.
I have disabled wifi, so can start it whenever i require.
I click on wifi button to enable it.
Then open opera, try any website.
it will open fine.
For instance say my email at gmail.com
Now after that if i try to open anysites or even continue with my mail, it shows error saying connection not available.
One of the workaround is to go back to toggele wifi off and switched it on.
Not sure if anyone faces a similar issue.
I's been about a week since my last post and I have already witnessed a couple of cycles of WiFi connecting perfectly and then not connecting at all.
No matter the settings I try after it decides not to connect, it won't. Even to nodes it had connected perfectly and fast jus minutes before.
I thought re-flashing might help but so far has proven ineffective. Once I thought some part of the non-volitile memory was causing the problem since after I cleared the memory I could connect for a while.
Any thoughts anyone?
Same problems here.
For the last hour I have been reading 10ths of threads here concerning WiFi problems.
My HD's WiFi worked fine on my home and outside for about 2 months. Now it doesn't. It reports connection, but no program can use the internet. At best, it seems to be able to exchange some Kbytes the for just a few seconds after a connection is established. Then nothing. Connected but unusable.
Tried everything Internet/My Work/My ISP, WAP enabled/disabled, soft/hard reset, everything.
When connected through ActiveSync everything works fine, all programs see internet.
Has anybody taken their HD to the service? Has any HTC service worldwide identified the problem as hardware and solved it by replacing something?

I have just encountered a similar problem, but already used wpa/wpa2 with aes. Have tried a hard reset with no joy. My old HTC Touch has no probs connecting via wifi nor does my laptop so I would surmise that the prob is with the HD and not the router.
I am going to try flashing with the latest version of Duttys 6.1 rom and see what gives.
Edit: Tried flashing with new rom with no success. Take a look at this post.

There are a couple of files to download but i only used the second ie this one.

Now no problems and can connect via wifi no probs, ip address assigned by dhcp.
Try to go into WiFi settings and move the power slider to max performance. I need to do it here to access my router. This happened also with my HTC TyTN II, with any recent radio firmware. The original WM 6.0 ROM and it's radio work fine in low power mode, but the new ones appear connected but are always at 1 Mbps and there's no traffic until you move the slider to performance mode.
You go into WiFi settings and you configure manual IP and DNS so as router.
DNS is important.
Whit manual configuration, Wifi work always.
(sorry for my english)

This is not a solution. I didn 't buy the device to be able to connect to my home WiFi only. What about public hotspots? Or hotels? Or whatever outside your home?
Guys,
I have a Touch HD and I have tried as I might to get it working with Wifi and Data connection perfectly; let me explain.
What I want to happen is this:
Wifi to connect to my home router (which it does) and allow the internet and access to my network (think I have that one sorted)
Data connection to start on all Internet based applications, when Wifi is not turned on
When Wifi is turned on, this connection to be used for all internet based applications
My issue is that I can only ever get some of these working at a time. For instance, my email is set to check every 5 minutes. If my wifi is on, my data connection still fires up and attempts to grab my mail, as opposed to using my already connected wifi connection.
I think I have sorted the Wifi connection issue when connecting to my network...I used to have to switch between "Internet" and "Work" for it to identify my LAN....however Resco Explorer seems to fix this issue.
Can anyone provide a comprehensive guide as to how to achieve the above....just annoys me how shockingly implemented WinMo networking is!
Thanks again - all help appreciated.
Sorry, I have no solution for what you ask.

Lately I do have problems using my WiFi though. I have it all setup with my home router since months and had no problems. Then at some point (don't know when exactly), all programs (like the weather, opera, email) started to not be able to connect anywhere, while at the same time my HD reports it is connected to my home WiFi network.
Everything works fine (internetwise) when connected through Activesync.
I saw this "Internet" and "My Work" options too, and I also have Resco Explorer. Could you please explain what it is you have sorted out in case it helps people ?
Edit: here's the problem thread
Has anyone seen this problem?
My HD2 disables the PC's WiFi each time I sync.
When I take the cable out of the HD2 the PC's WiFi network will go down and I have to go into device manager and re-enable the WiFi network card, sometimes even this won't work and I have to reboot the PC.
It also very often happens when I connect the cable but usually a troubleshooting of the network problems will restart the WiFi and fix without rebooting.
The thing is that my TyTN II works perfectly and always has, it is only the HD2 that I have the problems with.
I have tried several HD2 ROMs and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC.
I did a search of the forums, (not easy when you can only do one search each 30 seconds) but could not find anything, searches for 'disabled pc wifi' only bring up the good old connecting to router problems.
Any ideas anyone?
ian
I'm having the same exact issue. It's driving me crazy. Every time I plug my HD2 to the computer, my wireless internet goes down. Anyone know what's going on?
I've kind of fixed mine. I tried different USB ports which re-installed the drivers each time. One of the ports at the back of my PC seems to be fairly stable although I do still lose WiFi occasionally but it's tolerable.
ian
A little more digging and I've found these two threads, which were helpful.

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks

Hello guys. i have 8227_demo brand head unit. i have a problem with wifi.
I seem to be connected to wifi or hotspot, but I cannot receive any data. The page opens the you first connect. However, after that, ten seconds later the internet connection is gone (by the way it seems connect to wifi). Does anyone have a solution?
I tried different wifi points, but the result is the same.
Thanks for your help in advance.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I had a wifi connection problem. For now, I have solved the wifi problem in an interesting way. I have a YT9612c model device. I disassembled the device and checked all the connections. In the meantime, when I removed the GPS input, I noticed that the wifi works without any problems. However, the internet connection was lost again after connecting the GPS antenna input again. I have now removed the GPS port and use it this way because the internet connection is important to me.I have now removed the GPS port and use it this way because the internet connection is priority for me.
I reported the situation to the seller. Let's see how we will solve the GPS status.
