Why can my iPad pick up my home wifi but my iTouch cannot?

I recently purchased a new iPod touch and it will not recognize the wifi network in my home.  I currently have two wifi networks running, one of which is faulty, and one of which runs fine.  My computer and iPad are hooked up to the working, but my iTouch will not even recognize it.  It can pick up the faulty network, but the connection is obviously very poor.  I initially though there was a problem with the ipod hardware, so exchanged it for a new one. This did not resolve the issue.  Are there too many devices on our strong signal?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The iPad supports the 5 GHz N band in addition to the 2.5 GHz B, G and N bandswhile the iPod only supports the 2.4 GHz B, G and N bands. That could be your problem.

    My children can access their school's intranet over wifi, but cannot access their school email accounts on the intranet, or any documents attached to the site (i.e. homework documents).  They can access all of the above via their iPhones using 3G.

  • Why can't I connect to my Home wifi?

    I have one everything I can think if but my ipad mini will not connect to my home wifi

    Have you worked through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 and if the WiFi is greyed out, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and have you tried a full restart of the router by shutting down, wait about 10 minutes and then restart it, restarting other equipment one piece at a time waiting a few minutes for each to capture a new IP address.

  • Why can't I connect to my home WiFi after the 8.3 update?

    I have updated my iPhone 6 to the latest iOS 8.3 and now I cannot connect to my WiFi at home, why? I've done a clean install and rebooted my home router and still no connection. However the device does connect to my workplace WiFi.  All my other devices are connecting to home router as well.

    Do you get an error message?
    Reboot your router again, but this time do it by removing all power for about 30 seconds.
    If it still doesn't connect and doesn't display an error, wait 1 minute after selecting the SSID on the phone, then go to Settings/WiFi and tap on the i next to the SSID. Look at the IP address. If it begins 169.254 then it's a router problem; the router has failed to assign an IP address to the phone within 30 seconds of a request from the phone. The phone then self-assigned an ad hoc IP address.

  • TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer?

    Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer? Anyone know? It is an HP Photosmart 5510 printer. I had no problem a couple of weeks ago when I first got the printer. Very annoying! Many thanks jonni

    Jonni-
    Did you make any changes to your system, like a new Wifi router?  Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
    One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print queue.  Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and look for the Print Center.  If it is there, you should be able to delete any stuck print job.

  • Why can't iPod touch 2G use home screen background wallpaper?

    It really didn't make any sense. Everyone wants to update their iPod touch to iOS 4 just because they want to use Multitasking and home screen wallpaper. But Apple just don't let all the iPod touch 2G users use these features. I know that the touch 2G hardware is not powerful enough for the multitasking ability and it's reasonable, but just why can't we just replace the home screen background by a picture?

    Reports have quoted that Steve Jobs said that icon performance was degraded too badly with wallpaper for Apple to feel comfortable including that feature.

    Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

    iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.

    I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

    Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.

    No one here can know why for certain, and yes.
    If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or something else.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
