I got my home wi-fi connected into my bb curve 8520 but whenever I go to internet browser it suddenly said YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED to wi-fi and my facebook app or most of my apps didn't work but I have my home-wifi turned on and the wi-fi logo lights up. I know this sounds so confusing right now. But I need your help, I can't have a bb without any wi-fi.
Try this: delete your saved home wifi from your phone. Pull your battery and reconnect to your wifi once it powers back on.Quote:

Check out Network and Connections > Wi-Fi Network > you can either scan for your home wireless network, or choose the other options, clicking onto Other ways to connect > Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or just manually Connect to Network (which could be a hassle for new owners of the Wi-Fi feature).
Also, if you wish, return to the WiFi Network window, and click Saved Wi-Fi Networks, look for the same wireless network you usually connect to, and delete it.
Re-attempted to connect to the chosen Wi-Fi network, and follow the prompts.

Thank you.
You may want to power cycle your router as well. Also let us know what model your router is. The 8520 will not work on an 802.11 n WiFi connection.Quote:

its like rebooting your computer. It puts things back where they should be.
