Ipod Touch Wifi Intermittent Connectivity

I have seen the questions already on the Forum but I cannot find a solution. I have 1st gen Ipod Touch 32GB, latest version 3.0 software, Belkin N+ Wirelss set up. Sony Laptop connects 100% time, Ipod Touch connects OK but after between 2-5 minutes is loses WiFi. It is not related to distance from Router, I have completed multiple resets, I have updated frimware on Router, but always the same. Problem disappears when router securty (WPA-PSK) is switched off.
I cannot run it without security, would really appreciate a definitive solution to this.

Ipod touch wifi isnt connecting

I am having a problem with my ipod touch i am not able to connect to the wifi, my brothers ipod is working on the wifi but mine isnt, it says 'unale to join the network" can anyone help me??

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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

2.2 Generation one Ipod touch having trouble connecting to wifi

Ok, I am having a BIG issue with connecting my ipod touch to a linksys WRT54GX4 wireless router running WPA/WPA2 wireless security (there is an option that allows BOTH to be selected, but I disabled WPA2 as an option after I first started having issues with the IPOD touch wifi).
Here are all the details.
Bought the Ipod touch last December and while the firmware version was in the "1's", I had no issues connecting to the router and using the wifi functions.
After the 2.0 upgrade, I had intermittent connection issues with the router. Sometimes, I could connect to the router easily and maintain a connection; however, the MAJORITY of the time, I would select the router from the wifi list, and receive a "Cannot connect to router" error. When I could connect, I would often lose my connection after a minute or two (regardless of using safari, youtube or the email client; all three would cause the connection to drop).
Now, in 2.2, I STILL get issues connecting to the router with no seeming relief! I find that after I restart the router (power off for 30 seconds), I am able to connect, albeit with a slower connection, for a while. After I put the Ipod on "hold" after that first time, I start getting the problems I listed above with intermittent connectivity. Since I am not the only person in my household who uses my router wirelessly, powering off the router whenever I want to connect the IPOD is NOT an option!
Here are connection logs from the router, annotated by me to show different attempts to connect. I hope these can help a technician resolve my problem:

#Same here#
This is incredibly frustrating. Should I return the IPOD to an apple store and ask for a new one? Is there a setting on my router that will allow the IPOD to actually connect?
Some more information:
*Mac filtering is off.
*Encryption algorithm is TKIP
*Group renewal key is 3600 seconds
*First installed firmware 2.0 OVER 1.4. After I got wifi issues, I restored the ipod to 2.0 after a full format. Did not solve my problems.
Please help...

I am so disappointed! The exact samething has happened to me, AND my husbands Touch. We had no problems before, and as you say with 2.1 a little stared - I ignored it because I love and defend my touch. After 2.2 all heck broke loose, I went to the genius bar and of course it ran perfect there. I had numerous screen shoots in one day, 'failed to connect to server, safari server, gmail server' - timed out blah blah blah, so they suggested I call my internet provider, they run a test and everything fine, they suggest I call the router people, ten bucks later and with nothing really showing a problem with the router our Touches still do not work like they used to. I am NOT buying a iphone, I want Apple to fix it or tell me how, it worked fine before what the heck gives, I wish someone could answer honestly.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, I really hate to switch to Zune as my nephew has been bragging about.

My Ipod touch won't connect to my home wifi.

Its been a week since my ipod touch can't connect to my home wifi. When I open the wifi, it shows me other wifis around me but my own. I even try resetting network under the ipod setting. It connects to other wifi, such as my school's and starbucks. Once I go home it doesn't show or connect. My router is boardcasting the ssid. and its not blocking my ipod touch's mac address either. I tried everything! Resetting network and turning off my router and modem.

- Try resetting the iPod. 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.
- Next try Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts
and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults./new iPod

My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home and it use to, it keeps saying my password is wrong

My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home, it use to work just fine, now it keeps telling me my password is wrong, but it can't be wrong because it is the same one I have always used. I also have an IPad2 that belongs to my daughter and it connects with our wifi at home with no problem. But, why is my wifi telling me that my password is wrong. I have tried everything, we have changed the pass word and that did not work. We have have taken security off of our wifi and my ipod touch give me another message, but it won't connect to my wifi at home. Please help... b/c the greatest thing for me is to be able to connect to wifi at home.
thanks

I have even shut down my ipod touch to see if it fixes the lack of wifi connection at home but it keeps telling me my password is wrong. I can connect everywhere else, but not at home. Pls help my.. I need to connect at home. Does it matter if we have othere decives like ipads connected to the same wifi. Because we have an ipad2 and my ipod and up until 1 week ago, we had very little issues keeping both of our devices connected at home. Eitherway the ipad2 is still working just fine on our home wifi, but my ipod touch keeps refuseing to accept the password.
Pls help, i am very frustrated and I have tried everything.

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

IPOD TOUCH NOT STAYING CONNECTED TO MY WIFI!!!!

my ipod touch wont stay connected to my wifi but my wifi is perfectly good and works for everything else. what do i do??

I would try resetting your Router, leave it off for 30 seconds and then turn it on again.
It may be running alright on your computers because it hasn't had chance to drop the connection yet. So try doing this, once it has fully been reset try connecting again.
Also, if your wi-fi is password protected, try clearing the password and type it in again.
Hope this helps!

Ipod Touch 16gb wont connect to my wifi anymore. Others can connect to mine and my Ipod can connect to all other locations except mine. It used to with no problem. I have restarted my Mac, my router and Ipod many times and nothing works. Help

My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

IPod Touch will not connect to wi-fi away from home

I realise this may not be a fresh topic but I've searched and cannot find an answer.
My Touch - more or less brand new - connects to my home wi-fi with no hassle. Syncs, the whole bit. Lovely.
But it won't work away from my home. It recognises wi-fi networks, let's me connect to them but won't actually let me access webpages or update my mail. The mail aspect is the biggest problem as I'm away from it most of the day and bought the Touch to solve the problem. It says it's updating but nothing is downloaded.
Accessing the internet, even with wi-fi apparently switched on, doesn't work either. I've even tried renewing leases on wi-fi networks but it still won't work. Please help.

Hello
Couple reasons for why iPod Touch will not connect to WiFi Networks outside the house
1. They are using Mac Address Filtering. Which require the WiFi address in your iPod Touch to be programmed into their WiFi Router. Not much you can do to fix that unless you know who owns the network and they are willing to add you
2. The networks are running in 802.11 n Speed only mode. Thus iPod Touch will not connect as the touch only supports 802.11 B/G connections. They could also be using the old 802.11 (A) connection on the network as well
3. As stated earlier they could have outdated Firmware/Software on the router. Thus making the router out of date and not able to connect modern day devices. So if you know the owner it may be advised they contact router manufacture or their tech to update the firmware/software and see if touch connects after
4. Outdated Touch Software. Ensure you have the latest free version of the iPod Touch Software. If you have yet to get one of the paid versions you may wish to research and or see if a friend has a newer software on their touch and is able to connect to the networks you can not.
5. WiFi Network security the hot spot is using. Sometimes old standard WEP security can prevent Touch from properly connecting and getting on the network. It is recommended if you know the owner or tech that runs it to try and use WEP 128 bit 13 character password or stronger more modern day wifi security.
If they are using 40/64 bit WEP. Try adding a $ and then the password that they provide you and see if you can connect.
If you get the time please visit your local Apple retail store so they can further look into the touch and test it on the store wifi network. If for some reason it does not work there and they determine possible HW service is needed they will speak about your in warranty options.

Ipod touch wifi range

why is my ipod touch wifi range reduced after upgrading to ios 5.0

I noticed the same thing with my iPod Touch 4gen. when I updated to ios 4.3.1. I just installed 4.3.2, and its too early to tell. I made a change on my router which seemed to improve connection reliability, but not every router has this setting. The setting is "Interference Mitigation" which was set to Auto. I was told that changing it to None can improve connection reliability. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it seemed to help.

TS1717 ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store

can some one tell my why the ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store - just says it can not connect.

Hello, rumisha.
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot the connection to the iTunes store you are experiencing on your iPod Touch. Scroll to the section labeled Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Attempt to connect to another wifi network to see if the issue persists as this could be the cause.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Also, check the date and time. I have attached a screen shot as this could cause an issue if not set correctly.

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

New Ipod Touch will not connect or sync

I recently got a replacement Ipod Touch. I connected it to my computer and can see it in the My Computer window, however Itunes cannot connect or sync to it. It's not there. I have another Ipod Touch, it connects but will not Itunes does not recognize it when it comes to syncing. I have followed the directions on the help list. Nothing is helping. The new Ipod does connect and sync with another computer but my music is on this one. HELP!

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.
