Unable to connect to internet with iPod Touch

Hello,
I received an iPod Touch for Christmas but cannot connect to my wireless network at home. I have spent a lot of time talking to Apple Techs and they tell me that I need to update the firmware of my router. My router is an Actiontec MI424WR. When I attempt to connect, the iPod says it "connects" to my SSID but when I launch the browser, it says "cannot open page because the server stopped responding." The IP adddress on the iPod starts with "169" but Apple says it should be "192." Apple says the router needs to be updated with newer firmware. Can anyone direct me as to how I can update the firmware for this router? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have the same router that you have. In my house we have a 1st gen and a 2nd gen iPod Touch as well as a 1st gen iPhone and 2 2nd gen iPhones that all connect to the Verizon router. I did have to redo the settings on the 2nd gen iTouch several times before it would work. I do not know if I was fat fingering the WEP or what but once it started woking on xmas morning it has been fine since.
Just go thru and triple check your WEP key and make sure that you are entering it in correctly and you should be fine.

Unable to connect to internet with ipod 4G

I am using my home wi-fi and get as far as the password, then after a few secs it tells me that it cannot connect and the only option is then to 'dismiss'?

- Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Try:
-- Reseting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-- Powering off and then back on your router
-- Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Rest Network Settings

Ok..So you mean still cannot accessing the website with Internet connection? Try to use nslookup in command prompt to check whether can resolve domain name correctly. Also make sure you can ping the router's LAN IP from computer.
If not, you can try to use the following DNS servers from OpenDNS.com:
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

Sharing internet with iPod touch

Now, what I have is a MacBook with OS 10.5.4 installed and my Internet connection is through cable modem and it's a Ethernet Connection and I want to share my Internet through Airport with my iPod Touch.
I have followed the instruction about "Sharing your Internet connection", but it is still not work.
In my iPod touch, I can see the IP Address 168.254.13.167 and the Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 only. The Router and DNS is blank. Also when I open the safari with iPod touch, the error message " Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" is shown. Why is that? Please help me and sorry for my english.

Try unplugging the cable modem, wait, and then plugging it in again.
-----> I tried, but it's still not work
Is this your system: cable modem -> Airport (expess? extreme?) ---- Macbook / iPod Touch?
------> For my system, cable modem -> Macbook (Airport extreme)
Is there another router in the picture? The 168.254.13.167 IP address doesn't look like an Apple IP. It should look like 10.XX.XX.XX.
-------> what do you mean of "in the picture"
Also the System Preferences>Network>AirPort, in the Status field, is said "the AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet. "

No. You get an error that says not supported.

I can no longer connect to the internet with iPod touch

My ipod touch just stopped connecting to internet at home and elsewhere. Because it won't connect, I am unable to retrieve the serial number from the settings, which is what Apple support requires before they will help me. The other problem I have is that it won't stay charged and the date/time changes. This happened before I could make the most recent update. Any ideas?

What model iPod?
I suspect the battery is on its last legs or another hardware problem based on the numerous problems but try:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Unable to connect to internet with cable modem

I have a Imac about 2yrs old. Was running beautifully until lately. My modem shows all solid lights but for some reason it is unable to connect. Did all the things like rebooting, takng out the power cord on my modem letting rest a minutes. Changed the setting to manual from DHCP. Changed it back the other way.
Can someone help me,

Now when you plug your iBook directly into the modem, the internet works. Correct? Which Airport do you have? Try resetting your Airport. Below are some more links that should be useful...

I didn't know what Airport you had, so I included all of them. Select your model and try reseting it. If worse comes to worse, just do a Factory Settings Reset. You will have to configure it like you just took it out of the box. I have found that this usually fixes most AirPort problems.

Can't connect to BTFON with IPOD Touch?

Help please - am connecting to my Homehub fine with my IPOD Touch, however when I try to connect using BTFON I get an error message saaying this Wi-Fi Hotspot is temporarily unavailable.

Chenehouse wrote:
No I can't connect manually either.
It also won't connect to BTOpenzone - just to my homehub.
Is it the openzone associated with your own homehub or another location, there have been instances where the public side of the HH has locked up stopping connection with it, a reboot "should" clear the lockup

Unable to connect to internet with my WRT54G router

I had no problem until a few days ago. I have it under a secured mode and wanted to unsecure it temporarily. I got into the 192.168.2.1 and clicked the security tab and got a clock that never seemed to come back to i closed the window. I went back into internet explorer and could not get into the internet.  I get a popup in lower right saying Local Area connection. This connection has limited or no connectivty. You might not be able to access the internet or some resources. For more information click this message.
Then I get
Windows could not finis repra the problem because the following actin can not be completed. Renewing your IP address.
I do a setup and get a message
Unable to connect to the router
I try pinging the 192.168.1.1 and it times out.
I do a diagostic and
HTTP Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.,com  shows up many times.
I have an Actiontec 701 DSL modem. I can get into the internet using that only.
I've tried resetting the router, I've done   what appears to be a firmware upgrade (lights blink etc), I've tried different power up sequences, I've tried re-booting.
What more can I try?

As of now you are not able to login to your router setup page, and you are getting an error message "Limited or no Connectivity". First you can try is Unplug the Power from your router, wait for 1 min and reconnect the power to your router and check if you connected to the router or still you are getting the same error message.
If still the same problem persist then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

I can't connect JBL Flip with ipod touch 4th generation

I connected the JBL Flip with my MacBook Pro and it worked fine, music was coming out of the JBL. When I try to connect from my ipod, it does not. I turned bluetooth ON on my ipod, then "Searching..." is displayed and the speaker never shows up. Any tips on this? The user manual from JBL is useless.

hi,
i just opened the flip and paired with one ipad and subsequently wanted to pair with my ipad. my ipad kept searching and searching and could not find the jbl flip even though it was right next to it. i had the same problem as the original post. I think the following is what ultmately solved the problem. first i turned off the blue tooth on the first ipad (not sure if this mattered) so the flip wouldn't be connected to it. i could not find a reset nor how to take the batteries out simply on the flip. . I DID though hold the power button for quite a while on the flip. I did this long enough for the red light (vs the blue light of the flip) to flash. once flashing red i turned back on blue tooth on my ipad and it discovered the flip. i touched the ipad screen to select the flip and then discovered the flip.
I hope this helps

Unable to connect to internet with hp laptop using xfinity router/modem

Hi,I have a hp pavilion computer model dv9910us with windows vista hom premium OS. I have an xfinity wireless gateway device modem/router. I have had this at another location and it worked using verizon with a separate modem and router. I also tried it at a xfinity location with a separate modem and router and it worked. I got a separate wireless adapter and installed that and disabled the atheros ar5007 adapter in the device manager. will that atheros 2011 adapter work with this model computer using the windows vista home premium os. If so, could I leave the ar5007 disabled and install the 2011 to make sure it's ok before uninstalling the ar5007. I'm really a novice and just stumbling my way through this. Any help is appreciated.

Hi: You should enable the atheros wireless card, and install this driver. It will have no effect on the other one you are using. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5060881&swItemId=ob_108905_1&swEnvOid=4059# Then shut down the PC, remove the usb adapter, reboot, and see if you can connect via the atheros card.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.
