I would think that TCP/IP should work without the phone having a sim card in it, but could that be part of the problem? Do I need to have a sim card for TCP/IP networking to work on the N9?
Any help here would be appreciated, and sorry for the length of this post!

I have an N9 without SIM, works fine with numerous WiFi APs including N class, so you definitely don't need the SIM for TCP/IP to work.
You mentioned the blue wifi active icon, It's not staying blue is it? It only turns blue briefly while connecting, then it turns white when fully connected. If it stays blue I think that would mean it's contacted the AP but still working out a connection.

Wifi appears to be working now. On my hardware firewall/router, I changed encryption from auto-detect to WPA2-only and that seems to have done the trick.

I wonder is your router still showing you connected at wireless N 2.4 Ghz or does it now show 5Ghz?
I think WPA2 is needed for 5Ghz mode to be available, so if you were using WPA previously, it might be a problem with the N9 and your router and 2.4Ghz mode wireless N.
I am trying to get this N9 to talk on my wifi network at home, and the N9 seems to connect to our WAP, but it only intermittently loads webpages. I can get google to come up (sometimes) but usually it just never loads webpages.
All our other devices (2 windows pcs, 2 linux boxes, a mac mini, 2 iphones and a roku device) all talk on our network just fine. We use a D-Link DIR-655 WAP/Firewall. We have MAC filtering enabled, and I added the N9 MAC address to the permitted devices list. I also tried disabling MAC filtering so that the DIR-655 will talk to any device regardless of MAC address, but I still have the problem.
We are using WPA, and the N9 has the shared key, and when I try to connect to internet manually, it seems to connect to our wifi SSID with no error messages and I see the blue wifi active icon in the top left corner of the N9 screen. The Settings > Internet Connections screen shows "Connected".
On the DIR-655, the N9 shows as connected: I see it's MAC address in the "Connected Wifi Devices" list. I have configured the WAP to reserve 192.168.0.100 for this N9, and it seems to be getting that IP address.
Router (D-Link DIR-655) wifi connected devices status page shows:
I try to ping 192.168.0.100 from cygwin shell on my pc, and it looks like there is no route:
Something is wrong somewhere. I've been fiddling with this for a few hours now, and my problem is that I can't ssh into the N9 to try to see what's going on. Since I have no internet connectivity from the phone, I can't download diagnostic tools. I looked for xterm on the N9 or some other way to get more info from within the phone, but this is a vanilla phone with just the factory installed apps. I even tried opening 127.0.0.1 in the N9 web browser hoping there might be some administrative interface, but there wasn't. The N9 appears to be operating normally in other respects.
I would think that TCP/IP should work without the phone having a sim card in it, but could that be part of the problem? Do I need to have a sim card for TCP/IP networking to work on the N9?
