It's not limited to the Magic. I'm experiencing a similar thing on my G1 from time to time and have to turn WiFi off and then back on again to make the connection usable.

Whilst i've been waiting for Vodaphone to connect me to their network, i've been playing with some of the Android's features over WiFi and have experienced problems similar to those described here, i.e. finds the wifi connection (which is encrypted) and appears to connect successfully but, when apps on the phone try to use the connection, it's either incredibly slow or doesn't work at all. However, i've had some success in improving the quality of the connection by: i) switching my router's wifi channel (I think it's now set to 3); and ii) resolving an IP conflict with another device on the network. I have a media PC that sleeps and, when it wakes, can often conflict with other devices on the network that have been added whilst the media PC is sleeping. It's still not perfect, but it's much better. Definitely be interested to know if someone figures this one out!
