Finally fixed my WIFI connecting to home router problem!!

My droid would connect via Wifi to my home router, ONLY ONCE, and then after sleeping or returning to the area would not re-connect until I booted my router. I have been trying different settings without finding a long lasting fix since I purchased it a month ago. I finally changed my router security setting from WPA-PSK[TKIP] to WPA2-PSK[AES] and it's been working great for the past three days!!!

Actually that's a good thing that you changed from TKIP to AES, as WPA-TKIP encryption has been broken for about 2 months now.  WPA with TKIP can be hacked in 1 or 2 minutes now.  (Not WPA2 using TKIP, however.)  WPA with AES is still secure, only WPA with TKIP has been cracked.
