IPod Touch 2.0.2 wifi problems?

My iPod Touch worked perfectly fine with my wifi network until I updated to 2.0.2. If you have the same problem, or a similar problem, please reply.

I'm actualy happy with your reporting guys... coze I had ipod 1st gen and version 1.1.1 (wireless was perfect) now I bought the 2nd ipodtouch with 2.0.2 version and wifi is real crap... I wondered if it was hardware problem...but now I know it might be software... if Apple comes with a new update, perhaps problem will go away (I'm sorry if you guys had to buy the new version... I would be really mad)
Thanx

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
Ok, venting aside.
I am running a gateway computer.
Operating System = XP
Router = Linksys WRT54G
I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
Security = WEP
What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.

Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
Wi-Fi Network Screen.
Wi-Fi ON
Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
Other ...
Ask to Join Networks ON
At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
press "Other" which brings up two fields
Name __________
Security ___________
First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

IPod Touch, IPhone 3GS e IPad problemi di connessione wifi

Sono possessore di IPod Touch, IPhone 3GS , IPhone 4 e IPad tutti hanno problemi con la rete wifi di casa. Solo l 'IPhone 4 non perde un colpo e' sempre connesso automaticamente gli altri devo sempre resettare il modem. Mi spiegate perché ? Grazie

I had that happen but it was because it was a low signal and just iPhone could pick it up. Is the signal high? Paul

Brand new ipod touch 3 frustrating slow wifi

Dear all, I just opened my brand new iPod Touch 3 yesterday and it connected to my wifi network without any issue.
But then, the browsing has been a joke. Not a funny one. It is slow like you have no idea. I could load only 4 pages in the whole evening. The google front was one of them.
I was sitting right next to the router. It didn't help.
I cannot say I was loosing the connection. Only that loading any page was next to impossible.
My provider of internet is www.get.no in Norway.

Update: I previously advised the following quoted manual set up. I thought had solved problem but it returned. I now have found I think the real root of slow iTouch on Airport Wifi Network. Seems wireless telephone is interfering on 2.4 freq. Channel for 2.4 Freq was set on 1. I have now changed to channel 6. I have now being operating Two iTouch at same time for several hours with no freeze and acceptable speed. Anyone else having hang ups, slow operation, etc. would suggest trying channel change on 2.4 Freq., especially if you have wireless tel. in house.

Quote of Maculu manual set up
You open Airport Utility, click on manual setup, enter your WiFi password, click on wireless tab, click on radio mode drop down box, pick 802.11a/n-802.11b/g instead of automatic, Now click radio channel selection and pick manual, pick any random channel for each of the 2 frequencies.

IPod Touch stopped connecting to WiFi, yet all other devices do!

Hey there. My iPod (4th gen) just glitched and went off-line yesterday after I had some issues fixed with my linkys router. I was adding a new (used) MacBook Pro to my gadgets, and now the iPod is no longer connecting at all to my wifi. It DID work all evening though, following this router update...
(I'll never understand why it's so easy tp get online in a library or cafe, yet my own home wifi is a darn chore!)
Ok - Odd thing is: My old iBook G4 is online (wifi) upstairs, my old PowerBook is picking up fine, and even my 1st gen iPod has a connection!! o_O
Symptoms include:
Signing on using password etc, and getting the checkmark beside the name of the account, even getting 5 curved wifi bars in full (this is now random, but was a real teaser in the beginning), and yet NO internet connection. Nada. Argh. (1st world problems eh?)
I have tried:
Turning the device OFF, then back on.
Turning wifi off then on.
Resetting Network Connections.
Pressed "Forget this Network" and started again.
And I even went as far as to RESET my iPod in iTunes (lost all my apps etc, though they're on the laptop so...)
Updated the software (after this issue, not before...)
And not a thing. Ugh. Making me mental.
Do I have to set it back to Factory Settings? (May as well, since I'm willing to start over, most info is on my laptop too...)
ANY help would be appreciated. I use that iPod a lot around the home for the radio apps, and really miss the music!!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!

Very frequently powering off and then back on the router resolves the problem. Try it.
