Having just upgrade my 2G iphone to the new 2.2 upgrade the WiFi no longer works on my phone on my home net work.

It might be worth getting a free App from the App Store like WiFinder to see what the iPhone thinks it can see? I'm guessing that you've checked your settings to make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled?

If you "Forget" the network and reconnect are you able to connect?

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Then tap the Blue button ( > ) next to the Wi-Fi network name and tap Forget this Network.

go back out and select your network again and enter the password if necessary

Thanks, but it is just not finding any networks, it as if the new 2.2 has switched WiFi off altogeather and deleted all other networks in its memory.

Try restoring the iPhone's firmware again, and if that doesn't work return it to Apple for a replacement. It could be that the firmware upgrade didn't install correctly and you just need to reinstall. Be sure to backup your iPhone before you do a restore. The restore button is the home screen that is displayed in iTunes when you connect your iPhone.

Go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings. After doing this you will need to add all wifi passwords etc. again. This may or may not solve your problem but it is worth a try before doing a full firmware restore.

If you have done a restore from an old backup without success it might be worth restoring as a new iPhone.

Good luck
