There could be a solution if HTC admits there is a problem.
It's not a realistic option for me to go round town asking people to flash their WiFi routers as my HTC only works with firm ware VER XYZ !
My router works fine with all other devices, I can think of 6 WiFi devices I have connected in the last six months all with out any problems.
Here is the ping from my PC to the Hero.

Spot the difference
The high "time=190ms" and the "time out" on the Hero shows me there is a problem. What is wrong with the Hero I have no idea, I just hope it is not the chip set...
