That happened to me too, i uninstalled it because i didn't really use it anyway. I have connectnow and just turn wifi off when i don't want it, and i have the phone set to not search for internet connections

I cannot imagine this being caused by wifi switcher.
Probably when you use it the wifi subsystem is already
messed by some bug. You can try to reset your router,
this sometimes helps. then reinstall wifi-switcher
and retry.

I've been using wifi switcher since day one and never had any problems with it or with anything related to wifi. All connections I ever used were working fine.
I think that your problem is something else, not the wifi switcher.

well, reflash your phone and then try wifi switcher as your first app.

But maybe try the advanced interface switcher first?

I actually have the same thing, and it also happens with advanced interface switcher. So it isn't caused by the apps, but rather by something underneath.

The only way I manage to switch without the reboot, is to manually disconnect from WiFi first.

So if I'm on WiFi and want to disable that, I first force the connection to GPRS, and then disable WiFi.

note: using modified kernel from titan, but posted already about this in his thread - no one else had this issue there.

No one has mentioned a hardware fault!
With my previous N900; the bluetooth would only work when you first connected, on the second attempt, BANG the phone would crash so badly that I would have to take the battery out to restart it. So strange behaviours can indicate odd little hardware faults where you might not expect the hardware.
Also try switching Wifi when connected to different routers (different makes) also try when not connected to Wifi
I would also do as kinggo recommends, a reflash, if after that it still reboots then it's hardware and Nokia needs to have a look.
