Connecting Ipod Touch to Home Network via Linksys Router

After hours of frustrating attempts and able assistance from Apple product specialists and Linksys agents the issue was finally resolved inadvertently. Here's the solution for anyone having trouble:
1. Perform a hard reset on the router - holding tiny red button next to the power cable in for 30 seconds.
2. Perform a soft reset on the router - unplug the power cable for 30 seconds.
3. Reset your cable modem.
4. After rebooting everything, go to your router pages on the web. Re-establish your network settings. Make sure the Wireless Mac Filter setting is disabled. That worked for us. Hope it will save others the time and trouble we experienced.

Thanks for posting your resolution.
I would also like to mention that Linksys router owners should always update their router firmware to the latest version when encountering connection issues.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable. This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?
These may help

Trouble connecting Ipod touch to home stereo.

Hello, I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen. I currently use it mostly in my car and I use a simple aux 3.5 mm jack from the itouch to my aux input on my car stereo to listen to music. Works great. Now, I have been trying to get my ipod to connect to either of my home stereo receivers without any luck. I have a 3.5mm jack from the itouch going to 2 rca inputs on the back of the stereo. When I try to get it to play, it sometimes will play but it is not loud at all and sounds very distorted. I can sort of hear the music but the vocals are very quiet. This happens on both of my home stereos. I was thinking of getting another cable that goes from the 30 pin connector on the bottom to the 2 rca inputs. Do you think this would be better? Or do I not have something configured right with the itouch? Its just weird that it works fine in my car but not with the home stereo. Thanks for the input.

This may work since it includesd an audio out\http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=72
This may also work since it included :

Connecting ipod touch to wireless network

Ipod touch can find my wireless network, and shows full strength bars for connection, however it never gets past ' connecting ' stage for any web address. It just hangs at connecting for about 10 mins, without reaching any web address. I assume the fact that it can find my wireless network, and it appeared to accept the password ok, there must be some other issue, any ideas ?

Make sure the security key which you are using to connect to your Wireless Network on your IPhone is same as of your Router. It might be due to Incorrect security key used to connect to your wireless network or your IPhone is not accepting the higher level of security Key.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Below change the Security Mode to WEP or WPA Persoanl. If you have set the Security on your Router to WEP then you need to use "Key 1" password to connect to your Wireless Network on your IPhone along with the "$" sign ($1234567890)
If you have set the security on your Router to WPA then use your Password to connect to your Wireless Network. These should make your IPhone go Online Wirelessly.

Unable to connect Panasonic HDTV to home network via Wi-Fi

I am unable to connect my Panasonic TC-L37E3 to the internet via Wi-Fi. I purchased the additional Wi-Fi adapter for the set, and while setting up the connection I am able to see my wireless network on the TV.
I have a basic WEP key, but I am unable to connect to the network via any of the connection options given. For every option there is a two minute timeout which is the eventual result of each connection attempt.
My router is 9100EM, with at 10M/2M service plan. I am unable to connect the TV directly to the router via CATV since it is a considerable distance.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can suggest any troubleshooting actions?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try switching the router off of WEP and onto WPA2. There is a WEP Setting regarding Authentication that allows for Open or Closed authentication, but even then, devices expect Open. WPA2 is faster and more secure, and it's a good bet that the TV will work once you switch the router over.
You can change the security settings by going to http://192.168.1.1/ and logging in using admin as the username, and your router's serial number as the password. In the Advanced Wireless Settings, you'll find the option for WPA2. Enable that option with Pre-Shared Key and set a Passphrase (if one is not already set), and then set up your devices to use that Passphrase (is case sensitive) once you apply the settings.

Connecting iPod touch to home wireless internet

I've had my iPod since April, and when I got to "settings", "wi-fi", it shows my home network but when I put in the password (I've tried both the router and the network password), a message pops ups that says, "Unable to join the network."
The iPod works in public places such as Starbucks and Barnes and Noble, but I want the wi fi at home as well.
Ideas?
Thanks much!

Most routers may have a password in ALL CAPS and numbers, so you will have to type the password EXACTLY how it is. no extra spaces, no extra letters, nothing. make sure you are looking at the WEP Key, WPA key [ For airport extreme and time capsule ], etc... And if you DO have MAC Address filtering on, you will have to add your device manually. if you have no idea what it is, or the person who set up the router doesnt know what it is, then its probably not on.

Adding Macbook to a Windows network via Linksys router

Hi! I wonder if someone could point me to the right direction with this. Currently I have two PCs that are connected to the internet via a Linksys router. No problem there. I also have my Macbook that accesses the internet through the router, and that's fine. My problem is getting the PCs to see the Macbook and vice versa for file sharing, printer sharing, etc.
I know the computers can talk to each other because iTunes library sharing on my PCs is turned on, and the Macbook sees those. But neither the Windows machines show up in Finder, and the MacBook don't show up in Network on the PC's. Any suggestions? The PCs workgroup is the default WORKGROUP name, which I've set the Macbook to, but still no luck. I"d like to be able to print wirelessly from the Macbook to the shared printer that is connected to one of the PC's.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks for answering. Yes, file and print sharing is on on the PCs, and the 1 PC can share the printer connected to the other PC. I have file and print sharing enabled on the Macbook both through AFP and SMB.
Still though, the PCs don't show up in Finder and the Mac doesn't show up when browsing the network from the PCs. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing, and that's what makes it all the more aggravating. I might add that the PCs are running Vista and the Mac is running the latest version of Leopard.

Connecting iPod Touch 4 to TV via HDMI not working

When I connect my iPod to the TV using an Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter and a HDMI cable, I can hear sound but there is no display on the TV
16GB & iOS 6.1.6

The 4G and earlier iPods only display video via TV-out for apps that support TV out. The Video app is one such app.
What app are you using?

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.
