There should have been lots more data in the Wi-Fi section. You can email it to yourself. Mine looks like this:
Code:
Wi-Fi
Current Profile: JasperWPA
SSID: JasperWPA
AP MAC Address: 00:10:18:90:20:DB
Security Type: Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
Association: Successful
Authentication: Successful
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.217
Signal Level: -42 dBm
Connection Data Rate: 48 Mbps
Status: Network acquired
Authentication Failure Reason:  
Network Type: 802.11b/g
Network Channel: 5
Pairwise Cipher: TKIP
Group Cipher: TKIP
Gateway Address: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: Successful
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
DNS suffix:  lan
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Server Domain Suffix:  
Certificate:  Not Applicable
Software Token: Not Applicable
L3 Auth:
If you don't have data it may mean that your router isn't providing the DHCP support the Blackberry is looking for. If you do have that, and just left it out for clarity try these:


You could still try the DNS Lookup Application, same menu as Wi-Fi Diagnostics. You should see something like:
Code:
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Then fill in a host to look up, like Google then Menu -> Lookup Host
You should see:

Code:
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Host: www.google.com
Last time used: Jun 26, 2009 9:23 PM
Results: Response OK! Address(es):
64.233.169.104
etc.
If that works exit and go to the Ping tool and try pinging one of the google IPs, if it doesn't work try pinging the IP of the DNS server(s).

That will tell us if you router is providing either working DNS, or the addresses for working DNS servers, then if you can ping out to the net.
