MDA Wi-Fi Problem!

I just bought the new T-Mobile (USA) MDA a couple days ago, a version of the
HTC Wizard.

I have been able to connect with GPRS/EDGE, and seem to be getting EDGE
speed, which is nice (my first EDGE phone).

However, no such luck with Wi-fi.

At my house, I can easily connect, at all times, with a few different wi-fi
networks, with my wi-fi enabled laptop, and with my older PPC--an IPAQ 2210,
with Spectec SDIO Wi-Fi card, can browse the web via Wi-Fi, etc.

The MDA does connect to Wi-FI, appears to be connected to it. (After turning
it on in Connection Manager, of course.) But I cannot access any web sites
with it. On trying to do so with PIE, I always get the error message:

"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost,
Check the connection and try again later."

I have not once been able to access one web site via Wi-Fi, with the MDA.

Can anyone help with this?

Thank you.

Some people had problems with the default power saving settings of MDA. You
may want to adjust it to "Best performance" in the Power Mode tab:
