Same here. It goes into an infinite loop and says obtaining ip adress again and again. Before the update, my wifi was ok, but my 3G was broken. So i'm not downgrading and waiting with a discomfort. 

Btw unsecured and WEP networks are working, but the ones with the Authentication fails. My old phone was w810i and i was totally happy with it. I bought this Xperia last week and i feel a bit regretful.

try to perform some test, dial *#*#service#*#* go to service test>wlan.,

it still doesn't work, please consider a repair using SUS/PCC

be warned though, it will erase your phone's data, so make a backup of the important files.

I tried the settings reset and then the repair facility yesterday. Nothing changed.

I tried using static IP options, with other DNS options, with WPA, WPA2 Mixed, WPA2 AES, 802.11 B+G, 802.11 B only, 802.11 G only modes.

Just in the 802.11 G only, i could stay 4 minutes online and then it dropped.

I tried to reset the router and the phone.

I tried to update the router's firmware (CNET CAR-854)

I read some advice about re-enabling the ANT services applications, they didn't work.

nothing worked Slightly_frowning_Face

I did the service test now, it says connect failed

Ok, but it is working fine in Android 2.3 ? All the people are experiencing this problem on the internet with some of the routers. Some phone companies fixed it(like allshare or something in samsung), some are not. I don't think that this is an hardware problem. You can search on google "obtaining ip address" . It looks like a common Android problem which needs a fix.

I'll try with other routers and i will report back as soon as i get chance, take care. i'm leaving now

Thi issue is not common. I have installed an ICS and since then the address is obtained almost instantly. 2x faster then in GB.  Have you tried to connect do different router which have different settings ? I have read on forum that changing channels on router, or you can try different authentication method... may fix this issue as well.

i dont hink is an ICS issue, because I run ICS and doesn't have any major problem at all.

Have you repaired your phone after upgrading with pc companion ?

Try to repair with SUS.
