    The default OS on your Curve 8320 (4.2.2.180) does not support Wireless N routers.

    If you are attempting to connect to Wireless N a reboot loop will occur.

    Check out my signature and go to the WiFi guide

    Welcome to CrackBerry!!

    Hope I can help

    If you upgrade to any OS higher than the default TMo supported OS, then you can use WiFi on wireless N. I have not done this personally, but it is confirmed to work. It is fairly easy to get your hands on an OS 4.5 beta and install it. I do not recommend it or condone it, but I have had no problems with any Betas

    *EDIT* : You can also go into your router config and turn off the Wireless N... just use the Wireless G band and you will be totally fine

    What exactly are you doing?? I would need details. Check out the WiFi section of CrackBerry for more info relating to this!!

    well when it did it a few minutes ago, a call came in, soon as I answered and said hello, it shut off and started rebooting.. other times are similar.

    I would say, call the company and see what they say. Also check that any third party applications installed in your phone are compatible with your phone since this can cause the glitches like rebooting continuously.

    Mine has no explanation to be so I am getting a new one in the mail today. Apparently there is no reason for it to reboot itself although mine happened often when using it as a modem.

    i had this exact same issue and i read online that bb's dont work too well with belkin routers. I have a belkin router and sure enough as soon as I unplug the router from the power supply the reset loop stops. I deleted my wifi connection on the curve and everything was fine. I checked at work with my linksys router and a dlink router and the wifi works. As soon as I try to link to my belkin at home it goes nuts. Hope that helps. I am new to BB I have always had WINMO devices but I am really happy with my curve.

    I also read on the same board about the belkin router that the next os update should take care of the belkin router issue.
