IPod touch nagging my router

Hello,
I have 2 ipod touchs in the house that enjoy the good life provided by my wireless n belkin router.
Whilst there isn't a problem with the ipods (they work fine on the wifi); when I log onto my router and read its logs I see my partners ipod seems to want to connect to it or ping it or do something every few minutes - mine on the other hand does so only when I access the device.
Logs read like this (this continues all night long and until she leaves the house and is out of range):
Dec 10 22:44:06 2010 00:1c:bf:90:33:b5(Kris-PC) get IP 192.168.2.5
Dec 10 22:48:31 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3
Dec 10 22:52:16 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3

Dec 10 23:16:27 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3
Dec 10 23:24:48 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3
Dec 10 23:28:33 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3
Dec 10 23:36:53 2010 d4:9a:20:a5:e5:0b(Clares-iPod) get IP 192.168.2.3
I don't see any difference between our ipods; software is fully up to date too!
I just wonder why its doing it and would prefer it not too since its unnecessary
Any advice on offer?
Cheers
Kris

Hi, I have the same problem. But not only from my iPod Touch but also from my iPhone 3gs and iPad.
Its like the devices are flooding with icmp for the default gateway.
I have been logging the firewall logs for a while and the icmp flodding is happening everyday. Not for some minutes but for hours too.
I have also seen it whith the iOS 3.

IPod Touch Applications Reboot Router

Router: D-Link DIR-615
So, I am finding applications that will use UPnP to reconfigure the router and add a virtual server iC5353 from port 5353 to into the Touch's IP:5353. The issue is that the router's response to making such configuration is to REBOOT come to a new consistent state with the new settings; it does this when we manually enter the settings and save the changes.
(The Virtual Server option allows you to define a single public port on your router for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address and Private LAN port if required. This feature is useful for hosting online services such as FTP or Web Servers.)
So, what happens is: when the Touch connects to the router, a reboot of the router occurs, the Touch reconnects, and a reboot of the router occurs again (cycling forever).
We know it must be an app because we have reset the Touch and it no longer causes the router to reboot. Restoring the applications puts us in the same situation, and taking some applications off and trying to narrow it down finally makes it stable again.
Questions:
-Why does this application need to have such an opening, which in turn can be found by a port scan from the outside.
-Port 5353 has to do with Bonjour, but does it need an opening to the internet that directs traffic to the Touch for these applications?

IPod touch recognizes Wireless Router, But Can't Connect To Internet.

Hello everyone,
My iPod Touch 3rd Gen 3.1.2 recognizes the router and connects to it, but no WiFi meter is showing (the one at the top left corner near "iPod")
15 minutes after I had been using the internet on my iPod touch 2G, I find that my iPod's WiFi connection was disconnected. At first I thought this was a router/modem problem, but I am able to use WiFi through all my computers at home. I tried forgetting the network, resetting my router, and resetting the network settings, but the results are the same.
When I go to Settings>Wi-Fi>[more router options] , the iPod does not show any IP address or subnet mask or router info. But there is a checkmark right next to my router's name.
When I try going to Safari, it gives me a "cannot open page" error: "Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument."
I am using a Linksys WRT310N under WPA2 encryption.
Please help!
Thank you

Nevermind. For some odd reason, it decides to work again a couple of hours later. Really weird, but at least it's working fine now.

CANNOT CONNECT TO WIFI THROUGH IPOD TOUCH 4G..ROUTER REQUIRES USERNAME AND PASSWORD..HELP NEEDED

i have a ipod touch 4g...and my router requires WEP key and a username and a password when i connect to it through my laptop..ipod touch only asks for a password i.e. the WEP key..question is how to enter the username and the password in ipod touch?

my service provider has provided me with a username and a password..therefore my router is "NOT ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET"..also PPPoE is enabled...
i think i ll have to call the ISP and tell him to remove the username and password...because i dont think that ipod has a provision for entering passwords other than the WEP key..

Ipod Touch wont reconize router password.

I recently bought a new Belkin wireless router(dont know what one but it was the 50$ model.) and I was able to access wifi with it just fine for the first few days. It accepted the password I put in the first time I ran it. But for some odd reason now, it doesnt reconize the password. It just says unable to join network.
I didnt change anything since I first hooked it up so I dont understand why I could access it for the first 3 days and not now.

I dont think its the routers problem. I turned off the private setting and made it public that requires no password, but it still says unable to join network. It picks up the wifi just fine, but I cant get access, even with it being public.

Ipod touch rejects correct password for home wifi/router

My ipod touch can get unsecured wifi ok (sometimes, which is another discussion) but when I set up a Linksys wireless router at home, my laptop is able to use the wireless but the ipod touch sees the router's name, but rejects the correct password. (I did doublecheck the password by going into the IP address for the Linksys.) Why would my ipod touch not be able to access my own secured network when using the correct password? So I spent some time with Linksys on the telephone and they had me put a long number that they saw in the wireless security tab into the password line. Now there is a check beside my router's name, but I get the message "Safari cannot open the page" when I try to surf. The error was: Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument". I tried a couple more apps (Weather channel, google map, facebook) and the time circle just keeps going around. Why is my ipod touch not working, here?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to ITunes With My IPod Touch

While I can connect to the Internet with my IPod Touch through my router, I cannot seem to connect to ITunes wirelessly. My device only shows when I have it connected through the cable directly. The Apple help site hasn't been much good, as they suggested to completely uninstall ITunes (I followed their instructions implicitly) and re-install. Same problem. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new OS....but it's suspicious.

Diolacles wrote:
Not sure if I was included in this question, but I'll answer anyway. My computer that I have ITunes on is hard wired into the router, which makes sense since it's on my computer desk But as I said, wireless works fine so It's logically not the IPod, it's not the router, so it has to be either the new OS or ITunes.
I have Rogers Cable and a Cisco Modem/router.
How do you quote posts on here?
Yep, you were included...
To add a quote, click Reply, and at the top of the reply window is a tool bar. Click the icon to the right of the smiley face....
Funny thing is, my desktop is hard wired too, but for grins and giggles I put iTunes on one of my laptops, and used the laptop to reset my iPod to factory settings. Wireless synch still didn't work....
What really aggravates me is when you go to the KB to find out how to troubleshoot an issue, the articles are pretty much blank. Click here, set that, but no real explanation of how stuff works or what can cause it to break....
One thing I have noticed is the KB article says that after you tell iTunes to use Wireless Synch if you don not eject the deivce, it will stay connected when you unplug it... I never saw that behavior....

If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet

Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4th Gen to iOS 6, If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet..
It's the weirdest thing.
My Wired and WiFi computers are experiencing DNS errors, unresolved URLs and in general having difficulty connecting to the internet...
That is.... UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE WIFI ON MYiPOD 4th Gen TOUCH!!!
Then everything works fine.
I've reset my router, several times.
I've reset my Cable Moden, several times.
The problem persists until I disable the WiFi on my iPod

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

My iPod Touch 4G is no longer accessing my router, yet it can access other routers.

I awoke this morning to find my iPod touch was not connected to the internet, "No big deal" I thought, and went to go connect in the settings. When I went to the settings I clicked on my router and typed in my password correctly, and I waited for it to connect. And waited. And waited. No dice. I turned my iPod on and off again, hoping it would fix it. It didn't. I just went to school without a thought about it. It connected at my school and got full internet access, so I figured it just fixed itself, but when I went home it STILL wasn't working. My laptop and everything else can connect EXCEPT my ipod.
Any help with this?
Also I am running on a belkin router and I use windows 7 if that helps with anything.

I cannot reset the iPod itself as the home button is broken and I use the assistive touch on-screen button, which won't let me reset it.
I didn't even notice the reset thing there :O
I'll try this out and see if it works
It didn't.
I'll try resetting my router.

I have a first generation ipod touch. I use a wireless router to get on the internet. My connection has frozen and I can not get out of a google search screen. Any help is appreciated. Ray.

My TC has been working fine. Using WIFI my iMac, ipod touch were able to access the internet. Last night, no internet access and when I plug the router connection in my Mac all is good.

My TC was fine, it supports a Mac and an ipod touch. I have had no issues until last night. Nominternet access, Timecapsule app cannot detect or finf the TC. I have my router cable plugged into my Mac and it's fine. I am using Leopard and have no idea what TC firmware version I am on. The TC does get hot! Any clues?

Firmware downgrade.
Go to the airport menu at the top of the page when you have airport utility open.
The second screen will open over the airport utility.
Now hold down the option key when you select firmware so not just new ones open but also old ones.
You get a warning ..
You proceed.
Now you have your TC with whatever firmware you chose.
That is about as Gumpy as I can do it.

Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems. This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product. We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work. NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!! Argh!
In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings. THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration. This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character? Any ideas? We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference. The router has the latest firmware, too. Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

After getting a new router, my Ipod touch is asking for a password. I didn't have one before, so I don't know what it is

After getting a new router, my ipod touch is asking for a password. I was able to put in the router's passcode on all my other wireless stuff, but the ipod won't accept it. I thought I had made too many attempts, but I've reset it and it still won't let me on. I have no idea what the password is or why it is now asking for one. Help!!

Look at the manual for the router. The password is on the router. Then change the password in the router to something other than the default one and use that password when the iPod asks for it (it will only ask once, once it has the password/router combo in its memory, it will remember it)

I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults." This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.
