Has anybody else picked up wifi issues with Froyo?

[Dr.Dad]

As I've mentioned before (bc I read/post on every forum like this to try and fix my issues) my wifi didn't work on 2.1, then it worked perfectly (w/o changing anything), but then I went to 2.2 and it stopped working, then worked for about a week....but
I'm now in the same boat as you guys. About 2 days ago it stopped working. It usually says it is connected, but there isn't any data exchange, so I have been on 3g for the last few days. I thought it was me or my router, but it looks like something to do with 2.2.....

Try pulling the battery and wait a min. and put it back in. Cured a simular problem I was having with a new router.

Good news everyone! A motorola agent responded to me on the motorola forums and answered my question

this issue is known and is being worked on. the leaked 2.2 that you upgraded to was not final and therefore not finished. you now have to research the way to get back to stock 2.1. when Verizon and Moto send out the 2.2 OTA very shortly the network will not recognize your version of the OS and therefore you will not be offered the official OTA.

it will be fixed and at least its just a software problem that can be fixed and not a hardware problem that is causing the problem.

Good news everyone! I have figured out how to fix this wifi issue! First, open 3G mobile hotspot (the real one), set up your password, etc... Then turn on the hotspot, and find a device that can connect to wifi (laptop, iPod touch, a phone with working wifi) and connect to your droids hotspot. Then try visiting a website. This will then bring you to the verizon page. Now turn off the hotspot, turn on wifi and it is now working perfectly. This worked for my phone and my dads, so it should work for you too.

I do have to give credit to my dad though, because he discovered it accidentally.
