IPod 5G wifi problem

ok, so I own an iPod 5 16gb and I have been having a problem with the Internet. I can connect just fine however after 5 minutes of using it nothing will work, apps won't losd. safari just says cannot connect to server and i can't load anything in the AppStore, basically I can't use Internet. If I restart my device it works, but only for 5 minutes. I'm still on IOS7 (The problem is keeping me from updating) and I would appreciate it if anyone could help or at least let me know if they're having the same problem, k have tried a different wifi router, howevrr yhe same exact thing happened, the Internet works just fine in my iPad.

Hey Te_Splashy,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with network connectivity, specifically it seems like your network connection is timing out.
The following resource provides troubleshooting steps for these symptoms, including updating your device to the latest version of software. To do so, you can connect your iPod to a computer running iTunes and update:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPod Touch WIFI problems

my iPod touch 16GB has had WiFi problems for about
two weeks now.

I just solved this same issue by downloading a firmware update for my wireless router. Give it a shot!

Ipod strange Wifi Problem!

Hi Guys, I have a very strange problem with my Ipod: If i try to connect to Internet via Wifi the Ipod simply tells me, that he is unable to join Network xxxxxxxxxx. If i click the Network more often it sometimes connects, but only for like 2 minutes until it disconnects again without error message. I checked password and I'm only like 3 meters away from my router. I restarted my Ipod aswell as my Router, tried to change language to english from my native language. My Router does not filter Mac Adresses. My Ipod is on version 5.0.1 and always tells me that connection range is very good, but it simply is not able to join. Now about the strange things: I do have 2 Ipod's and both had a good working internet connection until last week. From then on both Ipods had this problem. And: IF I go to different spots in my house, I can join the Wifi Network, but it disconnects when I go away from them again, even though my ipod tells me that signal strength is always good. The Spots with working internet seem to be unaffected by distance to my router.
Thanks for your help.

as your ipod is 5.0.1 is still slow, because there is already 5.0.6, you can upgrade the ituneswith my did the same, but already upgraded. your iPod will be updated with aaltomaticamente tempo.e as you use at work you can block or the wi-fi with this problem.

Ipod touch WiFi problems to be fixed in 3.0 Firmware?

Basically, I bought my ipod touch brand new about a month ago (2G, 2.2.1 firmware). Ever since I opened it (approx. 2 weeks ago) the WiFi has been pretty sketchy. I get an error "server stopped responding" a lot (maybe like 2-8 mins of browsing) on safari as well as apps.
I took my problem to the apple store and the guy basically did a diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, but my apps were crashing a lot. He did a complete wiping of the hard drive (back to factory with all of my apps gone and stuff) and basically It still doesn't work right.
So, Should I go back to the apple store? Or, Are these problems planned on being fixed in the 3.0 Firmware? If you have any other solutions please let me know

Welcome to Apple Discussions
3.0 is supposed to have some WiFi fixes - I'll let you know in a week or so. However, your problem with WiFi is most likely a router or DNS problem. The router part is easy - just reboot it by unplugging it and then plug it back in. DNS problems are an ISP issue and if that is what is going on, you should notice the same type of lag with your MacBook.
Fixing DNS problems are reasonably easy. Check out OpenDNS.com which will provide you with both instructions and an alternate to your ISP's service.
App problems can be caused by many things, including the app itself. What the Genius did for you at the Apple store was to restore you iPod to new. You can download your apps again without having to pay for them.

3rd Gen Ipod Touch WiFi problems

my brother has a 1st gen ipod and its wifi is working fine downstairs in our house, my new 3rd gen will not recieve a signal in the exact same place, any ideas?

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I would also try placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days to ensure the iPod is dry.

Ipod touch Wifi problem... Please Help :(

Hi. Ive just recently started having trouble with my ipod touch. I cant stand more then 10 yrds away witout it detecting my wifi. All my other devices work fine. Ive tried reseting my ipods and making it back to its normal form and resetting the network and still no result. Ive also turned it off for a few mins and still no results . I recently did though get a little crack on my ipod touch maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago on the top left part of the screen I dont know if that has anything to do with it or what... Idk what I can do. Could someone give me some advice. Should I go to an apple store today? How much might it cost to get this fixed?

Here is Apple's price list. I suspect a hardware problem and it may be related to what caused the cracked screen.

You may find that a third-party place like the following is less expensive:

New Ipod Touch, WiFi problem.

I just got my Ipod yesterday brought it home hooked up connected to my WiFi fine. Now today I keep getting "Unable To Join Network" message. I've checked a few sites to see what to do and am still getting the same error.
Any help would be great as I have no idea what to do.

But when I go back to home screen it says I'm connected to WiFi but browsers or nothing work still.
That indicator only means your touch can connect to the router - not that the router has connected your touch to the Internet.
Go to: Settings>Wi-Fi then touch the blue triangle to the right of the router you are connected to. What IP Address is shown? (If it starts with 169.xxx, the address is self assigned and the router hasn't connected to to the Internet.)

Ipod Touch-WIFI Problems-Can't Connect More than One at Same time

I'm not an Ipod Touch user yet, but three family members are. Unfortunately, only one will connect to the Internet on our home wifi at a time. Each one works just fine on its own and will make the connection, but if one is already turned on it blocks the others. I have a laptop and it connects fine regardless of the Ipod Touch issues. I'm using a Linksys router if that matters. Looked everywhere but can't find someone experiencing similar issues. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts/help!

Take a look at your router's settings for DHCP. Normally there is range associated for the allocation of IP addresses for wireless devices. For example, you would set DHCP to on, IP address range from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.128. The normal defaults on the router should have given you an adequate range of address but you may have inadvertently changed something.

Ipad3 wifi problems

Dear Apple Team:
In my ipad3, I have problems connecting then disconnecting within 2 minutes after connection. The device is 3 yards away from me and I experience the same problem with Skype , Face time google talk and Safari. . My Network router is Zyxel P-660HN-F1Z with latest available Firmware Version: 3.70(BJI.8)F0 .
The 2nd generation ipod I have with me does not have any problems. It is the ipad3.
am a senior Network Engineer , so I have tried updating the firmware of the router and it is working the same regardless of what I do. I have tested the wireless access point with laptop, Ipod and wifi phone and no problems. Only it is a problem with Ipad3.
What is your return/replacement policy, the item was purchased on March 17 2012. I have not used it (only twice for Skype testing) until yesterday when I landed in EU for an academic project in EU, that will last a month.
What is my options for return? I am not happy at all.
Best, Murad.

WiFi problem that won't go away.

I have an iPad 1 32GB WIFI. Still on 5.1.1 (because I can't do anything else). It has only really started having problems in the last few months. I think it's just two years old - so it was still covered by statutory warranty when the issue arose, despite Apple trying to argue to the contrary. Its main problem is the wifi (there are some problems with sound not working and battery life too, but they're less of a problem).
A few months ago, it decided that it just wasn't going to connect to my home wifi network. Full signal strength, but it would just decide to drop out randomly. And when I tried to reconnect, it would tell me that it was unable to connect to the network. Tried everything I read, but nothing changed: turn the actual modem on/off, renewed lease, forget this network, turned the wifi on the iPad on/off, turned airplane mode on/off, tried hard reset, reset network settings - nada. One day, it just randomly decided to start reconnecting and the world was good again.
However, without notice, on Christmas Eve, it decided that it was time to repeat its little issue. Although now it seems to be more annoying. It hasn't connected at all since Christmas Eve (so three days). It will show as having a WIFI full signal strength on the top bar and it will have the network name against Wi-Fi in Settings, but it won't have actually connected because it will just have the spinning loading circle next to the network itself and also next to 'Choose a network...'. Full signal strength though. For the first time though, it has given me a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address (nothing changes this). [Oh, actually, it finally just appeared with a tickmark next to the network name for the first time in days, but the actual internet isn't recognised (there no WIFI signal in the top bar of the iPad and nothing works) - this appears to be because it somehow changed itself from DHCP to Static IP Address].
There doesn't appear to be any problem with my modem/router - iPhone and other computers connect to it without problems.
The spinning circle next to the network when it's "already detected" just makes me want to break the **** thing (I won't , but it's so frustrating).
What can I do?
Edit: I've already followed the advice on the troubleshooting page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398)

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

Ipad mini wifi problems

I've changed my wifi password, but my ipad mini still remember the old one. Therefore, I cannot connect to wifi, but my mac book is okay with it. I tried to reset the internet settings, but my ipad mini doesn't allow me to verify my password!

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

But wait, there's more... more wifi problems = glad to have my nexus 7

i work in a wifi zone. who doesn't. i used to use my ipad 2 (64gig wifi+3g iOS 6.0.1) all the time here to get things from dropbox or take notes with evernote, or to surf answers to questions posed in meetings. wonderful tool. then i updated the OS to 6...
and now i can't use it for more than a couple of minutes before wifi quits working.
i get the same spining wheel of death in the settings>wifi that others have complained about.
i've started carrying my nexus 7 around with the ipad and without failing even a single time the nexus has never had an issue connecting while the ipad sits and spins its wheel of death.
and all this can be had for $1,000 with tax. yea.
at home my wifi connectivity is much better with the ipad, but still it's worse than it was before the 'update'. further, if the nexus can connect i expect the 4 times more expensive, from the great minds at apple, ipad to be able to connect also.
guess i was wrong.
i don't get angry when computers can't do complex things that are relatively new, but wifi isn't new, and i get immensly hacked off when a company breaks a basic functionality of a devise and offers nary a word on a fix.
face it folks. this is just another IT gadget made by just another computer company.

iOS 6.1 was just released today. Maybe there's a wifi fix.
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
