OK, I am confused about something. I had some problems getting my Obi WiFi working and finally got that sorted out,
What did you do to fix it?

I am not sure!
The part of the process where you set-up your wireless connections by entering:
http://www.obiconnect.com/wifi
is very buggy. I can't tell you how many times I tried that yesterday and I think it worked exactly once (and once more this morning). I tried with IE9 and FF, cleared my browser caches, disabled my wireless access, etc. It didn't even work after a factory reset (which is a real pain, who puts the reset on the bottom and the idiot lights that you have to observe while holding the reset on top?). Anyway, this morning it decided to cooperate and I was able to access the wireless setup and it pulled an IP address via the dongle at last. Once I had the WiFi dongle acquiring an IP, the rest was trivial.
Why it didn't pull an IP before when I first configured it remains a mystery, but I fully subscribe to the "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" school of electronics repair, so I many never figure it out.
