I lose my Wi-Fi network settings every time I turn off

Hello, and thank you for your time. Just bought my iPod Touch yesterday, and am loving it.
One problem I'm having, though. I can't keep the settings for the network I want to use.
I configured my router's network on it. Put in WEP and the security key. I was connected to Wi-Fi just fine, no problems.
Then I turned the iPod off. When I turned it back on, even though the iPod is configured with the router (which is on private network, so my "lovely" neighbors don't leech off it), my network disappears. My PlayStation 3 that I'm not using for a network appears every time I turn on and off. But, every time I turn the iPod on, I have to put in the information for the network I want to use (name, security, password) all over again.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if there's an answer here already and I missed it. Thank you.
Walter

You need to select to "remember" the access point so it automatically reconnects unless by "private network" you mean that you're not broadcasting the SSID. If that's the case, it won't reconnect automatically-it's a feature, not a bug. My advice, broadcast the SSID and set a strong password. Hiding it doesn't do much for you from a security standpoint. Setting a 40 digit random password does.
If this doesn't work, do a Restore.

  • How do I stop Firefox reverting to standard settings every time I turn off my PC?

    I set up my preferred icons history, print, home etc in the places I like them yet every time I turn off my PC the next day they are back to the standard set up & I have to do them all again, more than a little bit irritating as it has never been a problem before & only started happening when I upgraded to 33.1
    Things like this seem to happen every time there is an upgrade, it is getting to the point where after years of using Firefox I am seriously considering looking around for a new default browser.
    As if to illustrate my point when I just restarted Firefox after installing the troubleshooter add-on all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

  • Why do I have to reconnect to my Network manually every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password.

    Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.

    It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

  • Why is it that every time I turn off my wifi on my phone my 3G dosen't work? Help :(

    So every time I turn off my wifi  from my iPhone 5c  at home My 3 G Doesn't Want To Work? And a 1x keeps popping out?

    Could be cause I just got my phone like 2 days ago. Lol and sometimes it has a mind of its own. Like when I'm trying to text it starts to push random letters and it will go home and then go in to my contacts and then a app with out me pressing anything. Like if it was a glitch or something?

  • Why do I have to select my network using Network Diagnostics every time I turn on my MacBook Pro and go to Safari?

    Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, before I can use any programs that access the internet (i.e. iTunes, iBank, etc), I have to go into Safari where it prompts me to perform network diagnostics.  (I use a wep encrypted wireless network.)
    During network diagnostics, I select my network and at some point it tells me that my network appears to be working properly and then defaults to the Apple.com webpage.  I then Quit network diagnostics and exit Safari and then I am fine to do whatever I need to in the other programs.
    This is quite annoying and I wish it would just remain on my network without me having to do this every time I turn it on.  Is there some thing I can do or some setting that I am missing that would allow me to avoid this?

    Is your network hidden? See:
    WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
    Secure your network
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    Change the name of the network and the password, then connect manually and when it asks to save in Keychain do so.
    If it's still giving problems and it'a not the router, it's the computer, then go through this list.

  • TS1398 My iPhone has just started to not allow me to connect to more than one wi-fi connection, i need to reset network settings every time i want to use the wi fi somewhere different, how do i fix??

    Why will my iPhone no longer allow me to connect to multiple wi-fi, i have reset network setting and tried turning phone off and on?

    Found this & it worked... at least to get my Wi-Fi no longer greyed out:
    Settings > Airplane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power on
    Settings > Airplane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    Now if only my phone would find my Wi-Fi network & connect to it....

  • Every time I turn off/hibernate/stand-by my laptop I return to NO wireless internet

    Everytime I shut it down, put into standby or hibernate I turn it back on/return from the modes; THE WIRELESS INTERNET IS COMPLETELY GONE! Also lately (maybe this part has something to do with the heat?) in the middle of being online the internet goes out and I just reset the router and it comes back on.
    I use a WRT54GS router, and I am using Comcast highspeed cable internet. Please help me as I am new to this wireless stuff.

    Okay…logon to router’s setup page and try changing wireless channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings and reduce beacon interval to 50, reduce fragmentation and RTS threshold to 40 by each…also try upgrading latest firmware on the router…check whether it works for you or not and let me know the results…

    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • IPad loses home network settings from time to time

    IPad 2 loses home wireless Internet from time even though settings still indicate connected...I just click forget this network and sign in with pass word and it connects ok.  Is there a setting to keep IPad from disconnecting from home network while I am in the house?

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Have to manually choose wireless network every time I turn on my Macbook

    I am using a Macbook Pro for a few days now and it seems that every time I turn it on, I must manually select my wireless network before it will connect. How can I get the computer to do that automatically? I have tried what seem to be all the network settings and nothing works.

    Actually, I have. What I didn't realize when I started this thread is that this situation has been discussed elsewhere and it appears to be a bug that Apple will need to address.
    It makes no difference how the settings are set, when the Macbook is restarted it does not automatically select a wireless network. It will start the airport card ok, and list all the networks ok, and as long as my encryption key is in keychain, all I have to do is press the airport icon and then the network which I use and it will stay on even if I put the computer to sleep, but it will NOT automatically choose this network if I turn the computer off and back on again.
    Guess I just need to wait for a firmware upgrade like everyone else.

  • I´m having problems with my wifi an my new Macbook pro.  It doesn´t remember the network so every time I log on - I have to "join a network"

    I´m having problems with my wifi an my new Macbook pro.  It doesn´t remember the network so every time I log on - I have to "join a network".  I have "ticked" the "remember password" box. I´m connecting to a wireless network on an regular Speedtouch router at home.   I´m new to Mackintosh.

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

    Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
    It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
    The computer just can't remember it.
