I used to be so much angry against my wifi connection which lasted for a few minutes/seconds then droped out... I was about to return my legend but i read somewere a very good tip ,that's why i'm writting this post if it can help someone who has the same issue...

Download from the market an app called "Wifi Fixer" it's a background app that checks if you're still connected to the wifi and if no, it reconnects you automatically.
 
It's a bit of a pain but lots of routers can use MAC address filtering instead of WEP/WPA (as in, turn security off but filter). I just did this on my home router and it seems to have fixed the issue.

My problem isn't the initial connection. Its staying connected and signal strength thats problematic.

I have an access list set up on my router. I'll turn it off and see what happens. I'll keep WEP enabled.

Hi - I changed my home router wifi channel to channel 11 (it was on 3) and this has worked for me. Hope this helps (at least when you are at home)

I signed up just to tell you this tip.

I was furiously mad because I couldn't get my WiFi to work with ANY network. I was damn close to wipe and reflash a new rom because of this.

BUT.

What I did was, go into the WiFi menu. Longpress every network you've stored and hit "Forget", on every single one. Turn off WiFi. Turn it on again.

Ta-****ing-da.

Thanks.
