Another thing I tried, when I connect to the wifi and open the router page it works fine, I can change the settings and everything. Only when I try to open a web page it says Page Load error.

and not "if config".

Ad ifconfig:

If there is only a > you can exit with CTRL-d which will issue an error (ignore that).
Btw. you don't need to be root to show information about your network - just try:
/sbin/ifconfig | more
and go through the lines with the enter key.
'|' is the Linux pipe: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Piping
more: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_more.htm
and so the above means "use the output of '/sbin/ifconfig' as input of 'more' "

Do you have some access lists on your router for certain MAC addresses?

So, you can connect to your router but you can't connect to the internet via your router?
What's the answer to these...
1. What happens when you use another router e.g. at a coffee shop?
2. What happens when you do ipconfig on your pc (or ifconfig if it's a unix-like system)?
Re: 'becoming root': are you sure rootsh is installed?

As far as I know the MAC filtering is not enabled.
The results say RX packets 85 errors 0 dropped 0 overrun 0
And yeah my router's connected to the internet.

Mmm... only 85 packets received. What's the whole output?
Try this - (with root privelages)
- it will show local ip address of router.
press Ctrl+C to stop pinging after 20 secs or so. Repeat by replacing <router_ip_address> with www.google.com . What are the summary results at the end of each ping test?
Try this - (with root privelages)
Code:
ifconfig wlan0
Code:
ping <router_ip_address>

the ifconfig wlan0 command brought up the IP address 192.168.1.2
RX packets 65 errors 0
TX packets 51 errors 0
When I ping 192.168.1.2 it says
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.824 ms
and so on.

Also, the phone now works fine with the Wifi at work. Even though it's slow as hell but it works to some extent. I guess it's something to do with my home router settings but I have no idea what it is.
