I too am having issues with my WiFi, but just slightly different. I have a Linksys WiFi router (WRT54GX v2). It's set up for WPA Personal with TKIP. On my Win 7, I have WPA-Personal with TKIP. On BB9700, I have it set as Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Nothing else would work. Sometimes it connects, most often, I get the EAP Authentication Failure too. It keeps on trying and trying. At work, I use PEAP and I don't have any problems with this.
I changed my router settings to WPA2-Personal with the same TKIP. Then changed all of my clients, including BB9700 and that seems to work better. I am testing it by turning on/off WiFi on the BB9700 and it has been connecting consistently.
more than likely your router has a password that you set during installation. also sometimes when youre setting up wifi on your berry, it will ask for the PIN number on your router
OP, any chance you have MAC address filtering turned on? I would turn all security off, reboot the router, then delete the WIFI profile for your home system from your phone. Probably wouldn't hurt to do a battery pull then re-scan for WIFI networks but enter the required information manually. If you can get it working then go back and add the security back in.

im having the same problem failing to get ip address. This problem just started happening. Did not happen when i first got my 9700. My laptop is working fine and every other computer in the house is connecting fine. 2wire router tried resetting but nothing working.
