My lap top will access the internet with my router my Ipod will not But my Ipod will connect to other peoples computer I was wondering if there is some setting for this problem on my computer

There isn't anything on your computer that can help your iPod communicate better with your router. It's good to hear that your iPod can connect to the internet in other locations, but to be clear, it is through your friends' routers, not their computers. The first thing I would try is to delete any profile for your router and then power down your iPod completely. Once you're sure the power is off, restart the iPod and search for your router. Enter any necessary passwords or keys and see if that works. If not, you can then try upgrading the firmware of your router to see if that helps. Finally, you can disable any secured wireless networking and check to see that you can connect. Assuming that works, add back the security being sure to enter the exact same information in both your iPod and router.

Wont connect to internet

To connect to the internet using wifi on the iPod touch, just follow the following steps:
Firstly, you should be in a wifi zone(an area where you can access wifi) or if you want to use it at your house with your residential internet connection, just get yourself a wifi router(shouldn’t cost more than $50-60) and configure it with your residential internet Once you are in a wifi zone, on your iPod touch, go to:
Settings > Wifi > Turn your wifi ON > Select a wifi network > Key in the WEP(only if asked for) > Connect
Once you’re done with this, you should get the IP settings and be able to surf the internet with no problem.
Note: At times when you’re too far away from the wireless router or a big thick brick wall is separating you and the wifi router, your iPod might show the network as available and you would also be able to connect to it, but surfing the internet using it would become a problem. If this happens to you, don’t worry, just move closer to the wifi router and it shouldn’t pose any other problems. Happy Surfing!

My ipod touch is connected but won't use the internet.

Your router is blocking the iPod Touch from using the wireless. Go into your router settings (depends on your router) and find the security or firewall for the wireless page. You will need to enter in the MAC address of the iPod Touch (found in Settings>General>About - it is labeled as Wi-Fi address).

Linking my smc 7004 wireless router to ipod touch

I will advise you to configure the WEP encryption using your router before connecting using your IPOD.

Note: IPOD support WEP encryption. Check the network connection if the Internet is working properly.

Ipod touch - wireless connect to my MSI RG54g2 router

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, to your queries:

instruction book - pls click here;
passwords - open a browser, the MSI RG54G2 web interface is 192.168.1.254, password is "admin", less the quotes;
iPod touch - will auto detect your MSI
setting on my router - if allows your computer(s) to access the Internet, no further settings required;
iPod can connect to the internet - if no WEP or WPA is set on the MSI router.

This is of course assuming that the MSI RG54G2 is allowing your computers to access the Internet lready and will be shared to the iPod Touch.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

Ipod touch

verify wireless settings in your router. Check if the security enabled in your router is already supported by your IPod touch. Otherwise, set the wireless security of the router to a mode that is supported by your IPod touch.

No you do not require a router to connect your I pod to the internet.

If you wish to load the songs on the I Pod, you can first look for songs on the internet and save them to your computer.
Then you can connect the I POD to the compuet via the USB cable which you would have received with the I pod.

Please connect the usb cable one end on the I pod and the other to the
the computer. The moment you connect the I POD to the computer, the system will detect the IPOD player. You can then save the copy of songs you have downladed on your I POD player.
You can select the sond saved on your compuet by doing a CTRL+C key and then go to MY COMPUTER> and under the drives section it will show your I POD PLAYER. CLICK ON THE PHILIPS PLAYER TO GO INSIDE SO THAT YOU CAN DO A CTRL+V and copy the songs on the I POD player.

That should do the trick and you shoudl be able to listen to your favourite songs on the move.

Please rate me if you are happy with the support provided.
