IPod Touch 5g A1421 Slow Wifi on certain Apps
Greetings,
Im still trying to get used to my brand new iPod (1 month since i bought it), but i just cant sort one annoying thing. I bought it so i can replace my iPod Touch 4g, that was constantly crashing while playing Podcasts with the Apple App (Tiesto's, Hardwell and some other pods). This new one doesnt have that problem, but it seems to download the podcast at a very slow rate,it takes 1 hour or so to download a 80mb podcast (15mb internet speed), while on my 4g it took 10 minutes. It also cant play any Twitch streams on high rate, because it freezes every 2 seconds, after a waiting of 1 min. Out of those two apps, everything its ok, browser and YouTube loads quick and without any problem. Speedtest shows 10mb/sec. Im using a DLINK DI-524 Router, wich only supports the 2.4ghz band in G mode (guess it also supports B, since that one its older). On my college it works slow as well (300mb internet speed). Its just my iPod btw, iPad 2 and iPod touch 4g works great at dowloading/watching Twitch.
What can i do to sort this out? I have performed everything that its listed (reset network, factory reset, reset the router, change to channel 11, using a 8.8.8.8 DNS on my iPod wifi conection, etc). Im thinking on buying a newer router.
Anyone? I contacter apple support and asked me to bring the iPod for tests, and it gives the same results there. It will take 2 weeks to get a replacement.

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. -
Hi
I have recently bought a new ipod touch 4g to replace my old 2g ipod touch, the main reason for this is because it is supposed to be faster, granted the internet speed doesnt have much to do with the processor
But i noticed the internet was slower than usual, so i put my new and old ipod side to side and used the Freeappaday app (because it accesses internet immediately and takes a while to start up even on the fastest of connections) and on the last attempt the 2g took 10 seconds and the 4g took 30 seconds, if there was only like 5 seconds between them i wouldnt be too bothered, but it takes about 20 seconds just to load the achievements in game center!
Is anybody else having this problem? Should i take the ipod to an apple store or send it in for repair?
Thanks
Ben"m have the same problem. Simultaneous, side-by-side download speed test: iPod Touch 4G = 0.97 Mbps, iPod Touch 2G = 9.2 Mbps. I have a Netgear RangeMax WNR834bv2 N-router. I've changed the router speed from "up to 270 Mbps" to "up to 130 Mbps", but no change. I've changed the channels on the router, but no change. I've powered cycled the router a million times, but no change. I've reset the network settings on the iPod, but no change. What are the differences in the wireless antenna between the 2G and 4G that could be affecting download speeds? I've taken my iPod Touch 4G to Starbucks, and my download speeds are much closer to my 2G. My wireless router and Touch 4G are not playing nice.

Th 4G can go to the current 6.1.3, To update see:

You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
You do have a 4G, right? It does have cameras?

Somebody stole my ipod touch 4G and i dont have the apps "found my ipod" how can i know where is my ipod? :( please help!
You do not need any app.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
