IPod Touch wifi issue?

My iPod Touch's wifi is playing up;
When I got home today, the ipod picked up the wifi connection, with 2 bars signal, yet when I went on facebook and weather they both said 'update failed' and 'error' etc... The signs that there is no connection. Then tonight, I tried again, and it wouldnt show any bars, just saying my network on the wifi settings. And still no updating of weather or any internet connection. I am currently on my laptop, using wifi, so there is a good connection. Whats up with it?
And I have done the 'hold down the lock/hold button' thing.
Thanks

The basic WiFi fixes are as follows:
1. Reboot your router (unplug the power source)
2. Reset the network settings on the touch - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. After the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and then re-enter your network name, security setting, and network password.

Ipod touch wifi not as good as before

my ipod touch wifi cant get the internet from across the hallway, but it used to get it from a block away. I tryed all of the things on YouTube, but none of them worked. Please Help!

Did you try:
resetting the iPod?
Resetting network setting?
Restoring the iPod from backup?
Restoring the iPod to factory defaults?
Saying that you did what was specified on an undefined YouTube vidoe provides us with no information on what you did,

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.

1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi. It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out. I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device. My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual. I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer. I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail. Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology? All help is greatly appreciated!

IPod Touch - WiFi - SSID Broadcast Works/SSID No Broadcast Doesn't Work

This is maddening in so many different ways:
I have two (2) 2nd Generation iPod Touch 8Gb products. Both are nearly identical in every way -- how they connect, OS, Library, similar Apps (but not the same all the time), etc.
iPod Touch "A" works flawlessly. No issues, no problems, no complaints
iPod Touch "B" started behaving badly by first loosing my WPA security but recognizing my home network. Strong password creation was a hassle but I got cleaver. Over time, it got worse to the point that it would not even recognize the existence of my 802.11g home network.
CAVEATS 1) We live in a rural area and on my property, not another network can be found. 2) Plenty of 2.4 Ghz stuff around including other wireless computers but... 3) This is my profession and I am flummoxed but have ideas....
FINDINGS: 1) iPod "B" works fine in the public space. All wireless networks work just fine and dandy. 2) I turn on my home network SSID BROADCAST and this iPod works fine (after being set up again). 3) Turn off SSID Broadcast and once this iPod sleeps or is turned off/on, no more network but go to any place that has a public broadcast SSID and no security and it's fine again... 4) No matter what I have and what I do, iPOD "A" works flawlessly.
WHAT I HAVE DONE: 1) made sure that I have plenty of DHCP scope -- yup. 2) Checked my leases - when connected I see perfectly valid MACs and leases without incident. 3) Check for overlapping or conflicts in IP Address allocation and MAC addresses (you never know...) - no problems there. 4) Quadruple checked "A" vs. "B" settings -- identical. 5) Dumped the entire flash and OS and started with a clean slate -- same issues with no apps, music, photos, movies -- nada... just a raw iPod like it came out of the box... same problem 6) Asked Apple to replace it as it's under warranty -- done. 7) Started testing again as a clean slate and found that it worked... replacing the iPod did the trick...
So, I "RESTORE" the iPOD to garner all the hard work that was put into it -- contacts, settings, etc. I "SYNCH" the iPOD to recover my angel's precious photos, apps, movies, music.... I return it back to it's originally desired state EXCEPT that one must completely reconfigure things like networking by hand -- OK.
It's back to normal, as desired, in the configuration we want and it WORKS!!!! Albeit... only for a day... and now we are back to where we started -- again...
iPod "A" works flawlessly and the new "B" is back to it's same old tricks --
OK - What does a restore do anyway? Is there some small pile of firmware that writes over the fresh load from OS? In order to preserve my contacts and other things a restore supports, did I uncover the super secret bug that Apple will refuse to acknowledge? Can I still say that I hate iTunes without being flamed a thousand deaths? Is there a diagnostic easter egg I can try?
And before I started this soliloquy -- I watched my functioning iPod "B" go to sleep with a working home network... only to wake her from her slumber... tuned out - with Not Connected living in her Wi-Fi field.... <sigh - simply maddening>
The only thing that sets these two apart are the nuances associated with configs that are part of the user's own personal interface desires and resident app input (contacts, calendar, etc...).

First off -- thank you all for replying and providing your insight, stories, and findings with your own iPod Touch, MAC, and iPhone WiFi fun...
You are all wonderful contributors.
Just to be clear, as others have mentioned -- this is not a feature and we should not have to tolerate it. This iPod, like the other one and yours too, once worked flawlessly and then continued to degrade to a point of not functioning according the 802.11g ieee standard. Something that has been in development for over 10 years and has been an adopted standard in consumer electronics for more than 7 years -- an eternity in this industry.
To be clear, I performed TWO ultimate resets -- completely wiping the firmware and OS of the original hardware and tested a completely wiped iPod Touch to no avail and the second "reset" was a brand new replacement -- right out of the box -- under warranty. No network resets necessary. The new iPod worked as expected without any original data loaded. Once a backup was "restored," and the iPod was synch'd with the library of choice, then the troubles started again. The networking does not restore -- you have to build a secure network from scratch. And again, the "A" iPod exhibits none of this odd behavior.
It is a testament that Apple has a problem in code when other iPods running similar OS behave the same. The reason that I mention the geeky standard above is because we should not have to broadcast our SSID for this to work -- it's an open standard, not something proprietary. We should not have to conform to "work around" solutions. And, yes, NOT broadcasting SSID is part of the entire package of sound security. I have to strongly disagree with all the nay-sayers. You don't go walking around the streets with money hanging out of your pockets or your wallet sticking out of your shirt pocket for a reason -- but I bet that you have cash on you and I can find it pretty quickly. It's why purse snatching is a crime of violence and rampant in larger cities and pick-pockets use finesse. One is easy pickings for anyone to try and the other requires tools and skills. If you don't flaunt it, the low level threat is removed.
As for strong security, the option for WEP is not an option. I use multiple levels of acceptable stronger encryption, logging, limited DHCP scopes, MAC controls at times, stateful firewall controls, and other radio tricks of the trade. My only failings is having to pander to the lowest common denominator within my home network.
Anyway, I spent a bit more time surfing and find this problem ubiquitous in 2.2.1 and forward. Something is amiss at Apple. All my Window based products work just fine (as does my Wii).
Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

IPod Touch WIFI Signal Fluctuates After Upgrading to iOS4

I upgrade to iOS4, and now my iPod Touch 3rd gen's WIFI signal fluctuates now matter how close I am to my Airport. I can be right next to the Airport and the signal will go back and forth from one bar to three bars. Never happened with OS 3.1.3.

For those having Wi-Fi issues... What level of encryption are you using on your routers? And is your router at full power? I'm not really having any Wi-Fi issues, I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and I switch my router to full power after I started having the iOS4 batter problem. (it was on "Neighbor Friendly" Mode). I was worried that a weaker signal would contribute even more to the already existing battery drain and I'm figuring that having the encryption on the highest level is also affecting the battery as well, but I haven't tested the difference.
Using WEP + hidden SSID at home (I have some devices that choke on WPA). Open WiFi access with authentication at work. Router signal boosted from 42mW to 70mW using Tomato firmware.
Also, if you're using a Pre-N router, disabling "Neighbor Friendly" mode means you're using a ton of 2.4GHz channels. This prevents any neighbors near your home from using WiFi, because you've stolen all of the available channels. I had to set up my sister-in-law on Wireless-A, because her backyard neighbor hates her, and turned off "Neighbor Friendly" mode on his router. What a pain.

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.

ITunes Store via iPod Touch WiFi download for Digital Booklet

I purchased Drastic Fantastic/KT Tunsall's new music Deluxe Version. I note that the Digital Booklet extras did not download to the iPod touch via the WiFi download. Nor did they download on their own when I did the synch with my laptop. Finally I went into my iTunes account via my laptop and viewed my purchases. Sure enough they were purchased. I then use the check for purchases on iTunes and it still didn't catch the missing booklets. Finally I went into my account to report the trouble and they started to download.
Are the booklets too big to come directly to the iPodTouch via Wifi? Are they supposed to download later on your computer when you go to the iTunes Store?

All videos and digital booklets are downloaded separately after you have synced your ipod touch to the computer and your itunes library. Every album that has a digital booklet states this at the very bottom of the album list on wifi ITMS. When you try to sync a digital booklet to the ipod touch you get a error message stating that "Name of booklet cannot be synced to the ipod touch." Its not a size issue just simply that they are not compatible with the ipod touch.

Ipod touch wifi help

I bought my i pod touch on the 13th and i am having problems connecting to wifi. Whenever i do get connected and i go to safari or youtube it says cannot connect. if it helps i have a link sys wireless g router. I also have th 22 letter encryption code that i put in correctly with capital and lower case letters using the arrow on the bottom left corner of th i touch

OK - so we know it's not an issue with the iPod Touch... that's a good start. Have you tried turning off the encryption on your network and retrying?
If you get a message that says "Safari can't load the page because it can't find the server" try resetting your network settings on the iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings), then powercycling your router (turn it off, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on) and then try to reconnect to your network.

Using iMac/iPod Touch WIFI

Hello everyone,could someone please help me connect my iPod Touch to the internet without a router using my iMac?I get as far as enabling internet sharing with Airport On and the Touch showing a full WIFI signal but still unable to connect to internet.I must have missed a step setting this up and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

If the iMac is connected to the Internet using Ethernet (wired), set up System Preferences Sharing pane +Internet Sharing+ so it says
+Share you connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
After setting that up, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ to turn ON the service.
If it still does not work, the issue may be with how the iMac is connected. Is there a router between the iMac and the ISP's modem device? Are any special settings needed to get the iMac connected?

IPod Touch WIFI problems

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

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.

Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
Thanks!

IPod Touch wifi broadcast causing battery drain!

Heres what I've found with this issue.
The wifi will at some point become locked onto broadcast.
I used unshielded speakers to detect when the ipod is emitting signal. I would try various things like loading a video from the net via wifi and I would pick up some static on the speakers when the iPod is held close to them. Similar to a cell phone near a computers speakers when receiving a call. The interference generated by something simple like this was there but minimal. When there was nothing being downloaded to the iPod there would be an occasional pulse sent out by it. Very small, very quick. The problem arises when at some random moment, usually within 10-15 minutes of wifi being on the wifi gets stuck onto some type of constant broadcast. The interference with the speakers is non-stop and will just continue until the battery depletes. Usually in about an hour or two. The wifi locks into the broadcast mode and constantly sends out going radio signal detectable by the unshielded speakers. I've also noticed that there is abnormal heat accompanying this on the top left corner backside of the iPod just under the power button. Maybe this is near to the wifi emmitter?
Well Apple it seems that this is a pretty big issue and over a month now and still no fix. Do you need me to bring over these speakers to your labs so you can see whats going on here??? Try it out folks, you'll see what I'm talking about.

You can take your speakers in, I suppose...but I don't think you really want to haul them in.
Here on the Apple Forums, most of us are volunteers--including me. Apple doesn't always check in here, though I have seen a few people that I think work for Apple.
Now: I haven't had the problem you describe, and use my iPod touch on wifi a good chunk of the day, near my MacBook, speakers, and AirPort Express. (Like within inches.) Makes me wonder if the issue isn't unique to your unit.
If your iPod is within warranty, +take it in.+ If not, it might still be worth taking in to see if everything is okay.

U410 touch WiFi issues after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hi all,
I have a U410 touch and yesterday I upgraded to windows 8.1
I have major WiFi issues.
connection drops after a few minutes giving limited. troblesshooting resets the adapter saying ''the default gateway is not accessible '' is fixed. But after a few minutes the problem comes back. and it goes like this forever.
I have the Intel Centrino N-2230 and I installed the driver I found here (15.10.3.2).
I''ve tried to uncheck the power management option but the problem is still there.
I also have other issues with the dolby system (I see others have the same problem )and my touch screen is not working.
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks!

Hi-
I am also running into the same issue with my Lenovo U410 and it is really frustrating. I also have Centrino Wireless chip with driver version 15.10.3.2 and I have windows 8.1
I bought the laptop from Costco and was having similar issues. I sent it back to Costco Concierge who apparently replaced the wireless chipset on this laptop but now I am getting this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
