WRT54G Router - Internet connection issues using the Ipod touch

Ok, first - here is my setup. I've got the router hooked into the modem, with the desktop computer hooked directly into the router. I've got my laptop running off wireless internet, and I've got an ethernet cable connecting through my laptop to an xbox for xbox live connection. I recently just got an iPod touch, and I've come to realize that whenever I'm on the iPod, it messes with the internet on the desktop computer and on the xbox, but not the laptop really.. it makes the internet really slow, or sometimes it doesn't work at all, especially on the xbox. Is there anything I can change to make these all work at the same time? Or is this too many connections or what? Please help. thanx.
(running windows vista home premium, WRT54G router, pretty much beginner status, though I can follow directions easily : ] )
Also, the internet always works on the ipod, it seems as though the ipod is 'taking over' the internet.. it doesn't lose it while in the area, yet the other computers and xbox does at times..

You might be facing the problem, because the Ipod and your Desktop computer must be having the same IP address thats the reason whenever your IPod is connected to your Network, your Desktop must be getting disconnected. Check the IP address of your IPOD and of your Desktop Computer.
First thing which you need to check, if the Physical connections are done properly. Connect the Modem to the Internet Port of the Linksys Router and then Connect the computer to the LAN Port No.1. On your Desktop computer login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Status tab and check "Internet IP address"
If required you can Re-Set your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from the scratch.

TS1368 Do I have to have an internet connection to use an ipod touch?

Do I have to have an internet connection to use/download, etc. apps, etc. on my ipod touch?

Yes to download apps and other media you need an internet connection. You can sync them from your computer.
Some apps require an internet connect to function, most do not.

Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

That depends on what you mean by "use".
Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

WRT54G no internet connection issue

Hi,
      I've been using a WRT54G router for a few years and it's worked fine until now. I recently installed AVG8.5 on to my computer and now the router can't find the internet connection. I have my compture wired to it.
      I hooked the mode directly up to my computer to make sure the modem wasn't the issue and it worked fine. I checked to make sure the local settings were on autodect and the lights on the router are all lit correctly. I have uninstalled AVG8.5 and the router still keeps saying that it cannot detect an internet connection. I've tried reseting the router and reinstalling the software, but no dice.
      I did manage to get it to broadcast its SSID, but when I tried to connect wireless it won't allow anything to connect to it. So, I'm assuming something is blocking it on my machine. Any advice? Thanks!
                              -Ashes

After resetting the router I assume the router is not properly confiured and that's the reason you have lost the Internet connection on all the computers...
You should leave the AVG8.5 un-installed and re-configure your router...

Can I use the iPod touch 3rd generation with these speakers?

I wanna buy some speakers. But now I feel a bit uneasy. My question:
Can I use the iPos touch 3rd generation ( http://store.apple.com/ch-de/browse/home/shopipod/family/ipodtouch 32 GB ) with these speakers ( http://store.apple.com/ch-de/product/TR142ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1NA&mco=MTE0MDM5Mzg ) ?
I know that only first & 2 Generation is. But if I want to buy cool speakers, which should I buy then?
Thanks for help
(and sorry for my english, I'm swiss xD)

You cannot.
You would have to buy a new one.
Apple will gie you a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

Is there no way to use the iPod Touch as a USB Flash drive?

All pervious versions of the iPod have had a checkbox option under Info for "Enable use as disk" which lets you transfer files to and from the iPod as if it were a USB Flash drive for general purpose storage. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
This option is not available for iPod Touch. Does anyone know if Apple mentioned why? Does the iPhone support this option?
Apple seemed very concerned about taking applications away to distinguish the iPod Touch from the iPhone, this would be an example of a feature I think they should have included in the Touch regardless of its availability in the iPhone, I hope they change this in the future.

Does the iPhone support this option?
Not via Apple, but someone else has produced a way:

My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all. Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. I turned it off and on. now what?

My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound. I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area. When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume. Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects." what does that mean?

Wrt54gs loses internet connection when using P2P Ares

I have a wrt54gs v5 and I've installed the latest firmware and reset back to factory then reconfigured. Whenever Ares is started all other computers (wired or wireless) lose their inet connection. Within 2-5 minutes of stopping Ares everything starts working again. I've checked Ares and it's set to am max of 10 connections.
I've hooked up my old befsx41 and it works fine but I need the wireless. Both of these are talking to a befcmu10 cable modem. I've never had problems with linksys before but from what I'm seeing on the forums the wrt54xxx doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the oldser stuff. Anyone know of any specific versions that fix this?
(Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

Since your BEF works with P2P, why don't you simply convert your WRT into a WAP (wireless access point). This way you will use the wireless of the WRT, while using the BEF to handle all the routing chores.
To do this, setup the BEF as your primary router.
Then wire one computer to port 1 (not the Internet port) on the WRT. (Note: Disconnect everything else from the WRT at this time.)
Then in the WRT do the following:
Turn off the DHCP server.
Set the "Local IP address" to 192.168.1.2 (assuming no other device on your network is using this fixed LAN IP address, and assuming the BEF is set to use the 192.168.1.x address space.)
Save your settings. Power down the WRT.
Next, connect any numbered port on the WRT to any numbered port on the BEF. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT.
The BEF will control your router settings (DHCP server, port forwarding, etc.)
The WRT will control your wireless settings.
Please let me know whether this setup allows your P2P to work properly.

How do I fix the connection issues on my iPod Touch 4th generation to connect to iMessage?

I am getting very frustrated with this iPod Touch 4th generation. I have been using my 2nd generation iPod Touch to use iMessage to text people and use as a 'fake iPhone' because carrying around my cell phone and iPod is annoying.
Basically, I have tried multiple times to change the DNS on every network to the google public server (8.8.8.8) and this does not work.
I attempt to sign in to my Apple ID on iMessage and it says "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Even though it claims I cannot connect to the internet, I can connect and browse on Safari and other Apps, but iMessage (also Facetime) will never connect or let me sign in. I continually receive that error message that I need to check my network connection. I just don't understand why. iMessage will work on my iPad 3rd gen and my iPod Touch 2nd gen, but not my iPod Touch 4th gen.
I am using my college's WiFi network and it is hit and miss in my building, but both my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPad 3rd gen can receive iMessages and everything fine. I am starting to think that the 4th gen ipod touch just has a crappy wifi receiver or something.
PLEASE help me fix this. I don't know what else to do.
I just updated to iOS 6.1.2 and that did not fix it either.

I know this question is no related directly to your topic, but I wanted to know how did you get imessage in ipod touch 2g. I have one but it doesn't have imessage. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?

we have no wireless internet in my house and the only internet connection is a laptop aircard that does not give off signal. will the base station express work without an internet connection being fed to it?

On the windows computer that is connected to the internet you will need to enable Internet Connection Sharing, see link below. On the Airport you will need to turn Connection Sharing OFF as the Airport will not be handling NAT (network address translation) or be a DHCP Server as this will be handled by the computer with ICS.

What Home Router Supports VPN Endpoints for the iPod Touch?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what VPN Endpoints I can use for remote access to my home network. I'd prefer a hardware VPN router like a Linksys BEFSX41, or a D-Link DIR-330. I'd prefer something like the DLink since it supports local area wireless as well.
I want to know if anyone has used any of this equipment, and how well it worked. There seems to be surprisingly little info on getting VPN to the home, let alone the iPod.
Can anyone recommend a router which will perform as a VPN end point for me?
UHF.

Is there a compatibility issue with the iPod Touch 4th generation and the TomTom carkit that worked fine with my 1st generation iPod Touch?

I recently purchased a new iPod Touch. The "keyboard" of my first generation was beginning to play up, but it still worked fine with my TomTom carkit (if you'll allow for the fact that being restricted to OS 3 meant you couldn't update the software either). But, contrary to what I'd been told, the fourth generation one refuses to work. I think it's making contact because I hear the connection beep, but it doesn't charge up or seem able to find the satellite connection. I've seen someone saying it was a physical width problem. If it's making contact, why isn't it capable to pick up a signal? Is there a compatibility issue after all?

Got you! Why this didn't come up in my search before, have no idea. So it's all a question of design... How mean not to inform manufacturers of accessories about the change in specs. About to try the folded-over business card solution and then Velcro if the former doesn't give satisfaction. Did actually buy a silicon case, but it makes the protective filter buckle as it gets under the edges which isn't exactly useful. Went back to my previous leather case which I have to remove to use the car kit...

Issues using new iPod Touch due to OS

Hello all.
I just got an iPod touch for my birthday, and upon attempting to use it, I was instructed to download and install the newest version of iTunes.
No problem, except I cannot install the newest version of iTunes because it won't run with my current operating system.
So, I went to download updates for my OS and I cannot install the newest versions (my machine tells me that my software is up to date when I try to use the software update tool - it's a big liar).
I am assuming that I cannot install OSX 10.5.whatever because I am currently running Mac OSX 10.3.9!! (Old, I know)
After hunting the apple site, and finally the web, I cannot find a download for 10.4.0 (tiger) and without it I am afraid that I can't continue to update my OS, and therefore I can't even USE my brand new iPod touch.
Help! Please! What do I do?

So, I went to download updates for my OS and I cannot install the newest versions (my machine tells me that my software is up to date when I try to use the software update tool - it's a big liar).
Software Update only shows you free updates.
I am assuming that I cannot install OSX 10.5.whatever because I am currently running Mac OSX 10.3.9!!!!! (Old, I know)
You can if the computer meets the requirements for it. A previous OS version isn't required for the retail package.
After hunting the apple site, and finally the web, I cannot find a download for 10.4.0 (tiger) and without it I am afraid that I can't continue to update my OS, and therefore I can't even USE my brand new iPod touch.
Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 are paid upgrades.

Are there any current widespread outstanding issues for the iPod touch 3G?

I'm upgrading from a first-gen iPod touch because despite my whole-hearted love for it, its slighter faults like relatively short battery life and limited space, not to mention the fact that it recently likes borking all my headphones, have led me to want to upgrade. But before I upgrade, I'd like to ask if there are any widespread issues surrounding the new device that are widespread but not covered by the mass media? My brother upgraded his iPod nano and now he has to contend with a headphone issue that simply shouldn't exist, thus my question.
And please no mention of the screen exploding. I don't wear spandex undies
