Why is my ipod touch 4g only connecting at 54 mbps?

My ipod touch 4g has been slow here lately downloading apps and such. So I have an app that analyzes the wifi and it shows im only connecting at 54 mbps. I know the ipod touch 4g is able to connect to wireless n running at 150 mbps on the 2.4 ghz band. Why is it not using it? Is this why it's so slow? also my battery drains quick it seems. I just replaced my netgear wgr614 with a Belkin N600 DB for the dual band N now I know the ipod cant utilize the 300 mbps on the 5 ghz channel. I bought this router because the Ipad 2 needed it. My ipad 2 would cut out and drop signal in my bedroom now signal is great and stays great and it works on the 5 ghz channel. Long story short can't hook up no more tv's to my cable signal I have one tv and my cable modem on one splitter only one outlet in the whole apartment. I was told if I ran another tv it would kill the signal. So i figured get an Ipad 2 and use the Time warner app and watch live tv that way. It works like a charm now where as on my G router it would cut out and buffer a lot. I'm just trying to wonder why the Ipod touch 4g can't utilize the 150 mbps N 2.4 ghz band. Any ideas or anything I can do? I tried resetting network settings on the Ipod with no luck no change. My router is using WPA-2 PSK AES if that makes a difference. my internet is 10 meg with powerboost roadrunner. Also the wireless channels are on 1 and 6

The % battery is not accurate.
If a full charge only last 30 minutes after restoring to factory setting/new iPod that indicates a bad battery.

  • Why did my ipod touch gen5 only hold under 4000 songs and not 10000, I had the proper settings @128

  • I have an Ipod 4th generation ipod with a broken screen: pretty much the entire upper trim is broken off as I can see the camera. Why does my Ipod touch screen only respond in the very middle? Top and bottom work not left or right.

    When the Ipod touch 4th Gen first came out, I got this ipod. About 6 months later, it fell out of my pocket and the top of the screen broke to the point where I can see the camera. The ipod worked perfectly fine for a long time untill about 8 months later when I started having issues with the Ipod. I still was able to unlock and use it but it was hard to unlock. It worked fine when it opened but unlocking it for some reason difficult. Now, I cannot unlock it at all and I am only able to press the play button for music (double-tap home) and press cancle (in the dead center) for a soft reset. Im trying to figure out whats goin on and as of now i have no clue. I have tried resetting it and am in the process of restoring it completely. Is there any possible way that this is just a glitch that can be fixed or is it done for good because somethings broken? I'ld like to know before I really put more time into this.

    Becaise the digitizer is broken in that area

  • Why does my iPod touch 2g only update to 4.2.1 and my newest version of iTunes doesn't show previous purchases?

    I had my iPod updated to 4.3.3 onces then after backing it up in iTunes some of my apps I purchased were missing and it only let me update to 4.2.1. I have the newest version of iTunes just updated a couple minutes ago.

    The iPod touch 2nd gen can only update to iOS 4.2.1. Hardware restrictions prevent it from updating any farther.

  • HT1766 why isnt my ipod touch generation 5 connect to wifi?

     

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod 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.

  • Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?

    Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
    It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
    According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
    WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
    Any suggstions?
    Thanks

    Did you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

  • All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
