There is also the issue with hidden SSIDs which can contribute to the problems (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041 - reported October 2008, still marked as "New" :O). I've used a Linksys WAG300N and a Netgear WNDR3300 without any problems when the SSID wasn't hidden, so if you're using an hidden SSID you'll probably want to un-hide it, and you may want to look at using http://ventrix.nsdc.gr/projects/AndroidWiFiScanner/index.php to check how well your G1 is receiving the WiFi signal (now if only I could get the developer to list it on AndAppStore :)).

Support for WPA2 seems iffy and some people can just change to WPA or WEP and all work fine. There are however a number of people (such as me) who can get a connection perfectly, it shows connection OK, they get an IP from the DHCP server etc, they can even browse a page for a few seconds... but after that no data is sent and everything times out. This is happening on any security from none through to WPA2. I have seen no solution to this anywhere and believe me I have looked. Some people have given up and got a new router, but this is not a solution. Can someone confirm that this has been recognised as a fault with the magic and is being investigated, rather then assuming it's a user or router error. There are far too many instances of this across many brands of router for it not to be an issue with the HTC Magic.
