How to make a wifi internet connection with your iPod Touch
How to make a wifi internet connection using the iPod touch:
To connect to the internet using wifi on the iPod touch, just follow the following steps:
Firstly, you should be in a wifi zone(an area where you can access wifi) or if you want to use it at your house with your residential internet connection, just get yourself a wifi router(shouldn’t cost more than $50-60) and configure it with your residential internet
Once you are in a wifi zone, on your iPod touch, go to:
Settings > Wifi > Turn your wifi ON > Select a wifi network > Key in the WEP(only if asked for) > Connect
Once you’re done with this, you should get the IP settings and be able to surf the internet with no problem.
Note: At times when you’re too far away from the wireless router or a big thick brick wall is separating you and the wifi router, your iPod might show the network as available and you would also be able to connect to it, but surfing the internet using it would become a problem. If this happens to you, don’t worry, just move closer to the wifi router and it shouldn’t pose any other problems. Happy Surfing!
I have two ipod touches,and have been able to set one up for wifi at home using my wep key,but for some reason it wont connect the other one,
allso when putting in the wep key
use the shift key before each letter.
there is this great app for the touch called WiFinder and it does wonders for finding wifi networks instead of going through safari
This is all very useful information, but I was wondering if there were any wifi connections that didnt need a password? because on my ipod touch it gets invitations or whatever to join into new wifi connections, but so far both of them have been locked, butI heard that there are some that don’t need a password to work, I was wondering if anyone out there knew any of them? I would really appreciate the help guys =]
please E-Mail me if you have any such connections, thanks a ton!!!

“Unable to join the network”
or
“Cannot connect to the safari page”
or it asks me to choose a network, i choose it and then it simply asks for a password.. and we dont have one.. all we have is a WEP key, so i enter that and it still says:
“Unable to connect to network”

@Liam
turning of Wi-Fi and turning it on again should fix your problem, if problem persists upgrade to latest firmware available.
@Alex
try multiple times and refer these troubleshooting Wi-Fi tips
http://ipodtouchtricks.net/ipod-touch-wifi/ipod-touch-wi-fi-internet-connection-problem-basic-troubleshooting/
@Carissa
When you connect to the internet for the first time it asks for a password, enter your wep/wpa key which you find by going to 192.168.1.1
login details;
username: admin
password: admin or password go to wireless tab and note down wep key.
also refer this http://ipodtouchtricks.net/ipod-touch-wifi/ipod-touch-wi-fi-internet-connection-problem-basic-troubleshooting/

hi!
I am planning to buy an ipod touch and I was wondering if I could plug my sprint wireless aircard into a female to female USB port splitter/converter and my ipod touch’s cord into that too… do you think I would get internet? if not could you explain what I would need to get for a home wireless router system and how the wireless router would work with a wireless aircard USB thingy through cell provider? would soooo appreciate your help, everywhere else I’ve asked either hasnt replied or has no idea what I am talking about. and I dont want to ask anyone at like best buy or sprint because they will try to sell me their most expensive products.
looking very forward to anyones response.
email me at: alyss_w@yahoo.com
thank you,
ally
If you don’t know the password it’s because it’s not from your wireless router I would guess?!!(some private some you pay to access) so go buy one plug it in to your home router and Wa La you have wifi. Your wireless router when pluged in and turned on will always show that you have a wifi signal even if you internet is down or it’s not even pluged in to your router.Try using bootP,Try turning wireless internet on/off in your iPod,Try restarting iPod and or wireless router, Most of you don’t seem to know how to use your iPod so go find out and that will fix 98% of your problems.
Good luck
I find it sad there are so many questions and no answers!
To use WiFi on your iPod, you first need to have a WiFi transmitter nearby. Here in Australia a lot of Macdonalds fast food restaurants have free WiFi available. So if you are not clear about home PC networks this is a good place to start.
Once you know your WiFi is working at Maconalds (or any free, “open” WiFi connection), you can consider setting up your own home WiFi connection. For this you need a working Internet connection. Connect a WiFi Router (if you don’t already have one) – your local computer store should be able to help you.
Because you don’t want to pay for free Internet access for your neighbours, you create a unique access password. To do this you go through your Router setup proceedures which will ask you for a name to give your router (so you can distinguish your WiFi from your next door neighbours’) – this is the SSID. Then select WEP (weak) or WPA (stronger) security and enter a new password – use a mix of upper and lower case letters and numbers. This is the access password through your WiFi router.
Once you have the SSID and password, the router will appear in the list of WiFi networks on your iPod, select that, then enter the password and you will be surfing the Internet!
If you do not know the password, you could reset the WiFi router to the “as-new” factory settings, no SSID and no password, then re-enter them again. Check your router’s user manual (usually you power off the unit with the Reset button held down).
Hope this helps!

iPod touch second generation is a f*cking joke.
My iPhone connects to my Zoom router.
My Macbook does too.
So does my Windows PC…
But the iPhone Touch…????
1. Shows connected to my WiFi…with all the bars showing
2. But when I open Safari, the iTunes store etc…it states…cannot access.
WTF Apple??????????????????
After reading all the above, is there a solution to this f*cking brick of an iPod?????
hey can anyone help me i don’t know what network or security to pick and sometimes it asks for a password but i have no idea what to put.
i got an ipod touch for christmas and we already had a router, everytime i try to connect it can’t find my router.
whats wrong with it?
hello
i got a ipod touch yesterday for my xmas present i had the connection but then it keeps going how can i get it back
and how can i set the wifi up
This is for everyone that puts the “WAP/WEP KEY” and it doesn’t let you connect to the Safrai what you need to do is go to the ipod touch settings, wifi click on your router name, if the password is in corretly, then press the blue arrow and scroll down until you see “RENEW LEASE” press that then go to Safari and you are in, make sure you are in range of a wifi enviroment, if that don’t work, reset you ipod on itunes…and follow the steps again…have fun, any comment plz fill free to email me…CRIMSOM_DEVIL@LIVE.COM
when l am in a wifi area l go to the app store l get a e mail and l click it and it says a password and l do not know what my password is.
Is there a Wifi APP ? Please E-mail me at reid.jerrell@yahoo.com
i have my ipod connected to wifi, but i cant use the internet,,,, im not sure why,,, a lot of people tell me i need to configure my ipod to my itouch,,,, i have no idia how!!!!!!!
i have an 8g touch that i got for christmas. i found that if you use the school districts letters…Williamson County Schools(WCS) followed by -WPA2, that you can hack into your schools wifi. So, here is what you do…
1. Go to settings
2. Go to Wifi settings
3. Turn Wifi on
4. Click NEW CONNECTION
5. Put the first three letters of your school district followed by WPA2. EX: WCS-WPA2
6. Choose the last option under security.
7. Put in your SCHOOL username and password. 10-digit username and 6-digit password.
8. Dont get caught.
Hope this Helped
I just purchased an ipod touch 3rd gen. and was having trouble connecting to the internet. My ipod would not recognize my router. I kept typing “admin” for my password, then I tried typing in the Encryption Key (the one that has 26 characters, numbers and letters). When I clicked on “Join” it worked beautifully. Hope this helped!!! Typing mistake on my name!!!

I had trouble with my new iPod touch 3rd gen. on my home network (WPA2). Finally solved it by changing my network wifi settings to not hide the access point. With the access point hidden I was required to select other network on the iPod and enter the network name and my rather large random PSK (pre-shared key) every time I wanted to connect. It would not remember the network name or the PSK. Not broadcasting your access point (SSID) is a good security practice and should be supported by Apple.
Ok, here is my problem. IPod touch connects fine to my WEP security network no issues. Problem is it CONSTANTLY loses the login info about every 5mins or if you let it idle at all. At which point I have to go back and type in all the info and password again. Any Help for this POS?
my son gave me this I-POD (TOUCH) (WHITE IN COLOR) APPLE I-POD.
I am having difficult time. I NORMALLY hook up through the internet through “eathlink” and when i try to plus the apple ipod in it states something about no connection? even though i am connected.
Can you please help a grandma trying to get w/the times and help me figure out who i can connect too internet while using the internt for other things, as well as being able to add contacts, appointdates for dr and surgical dates AND how do i uplod musc..
please let me. I’d be much oblied. In this area we reside no broad band is yet available, so dialup w/charter here is not aavailable, only dialup.
Can you suggst some things that come too mine w/this particular IPOD TOUCH APPLE that will be essential and a must need too use it?
Thank you so very much for your time, knowledge, and patience. BTW, i use firefox.

The level of stupidity here is truly mind blowing, you people have no business owning any electronic devices.
Are you people for real???
Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, It’s short range and has 3 main configurations 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n.
If you can’t find a Wi-Fi network or don’t know the password it’s probably not yours and you need to go buy a wireless router.
This isn’t rocket science people, Just take the time to google Wi-Fi or ad-hoc networks and bingo you’ll join the rest of the world!!
If you genius’s have questions email me and I’ll do my best to dumb it down enough for you to understand.
But first at least make sure your device is Wi-Fi equipped cause I don’t want questions on how to get your iPod nano online..lmao

My son has a 8gb ipod touch and we have AT&T DSL Wi-Fi Router.
I can connect to the Wi-Fi Router, but still can not connect to the Internet, YouTube, etc..
My wife has an iPhone that connects no problem. I don’t think there is a limit on the number on WiFi connections, is that correct?
I thought about taking his iTouch to the Apple store for them to take a look and see if they could connect to their network and Internet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kent
OKC, OK

Hi,I have had my ipod touch for about 1-2 years and it has worked perfectly fine until, I woke up one morning and couldnt get on wifi I went on my settings to see if anything was wrong with my wifi and everything was fine so i checked again and still couldnt get on wifi. I got so frustrated i started to cry,I went to almost every website on this subject and found no results sadly. It went so far that i got so frustrated i deleted one of my favorate apps with internet. it stinks because i cant go back to the app store and get it back until this preoblem is resolved (i also cant go to Itunes,Safari.App Store,Most of my apps,Youtube,Stocks,Weather,mail,maps,etc im so upset
omg peopel here are not so smart wow. WOW
ppl r so clever these days
just read ur instructions if u dn’t know sumthing about ur ipod touch
first of all you need a wireless router i use att 2wire. for your i pod you need to enter your wep key that is found on the side of your router it is a 10 digit number. also you need to connect dsl filters on your phone line .also if you have more than 1 computer you will need to purchase a wirless adapter and use that on the computers not connected to the modem i use netgear its very easy to install hope this helps
