howdy guys, im trying to connect to our wireless internet via our ipod touch. it recognizes the wireless connection but when i enter the password it doesnt do anything.
any help? also what kind of sweet programs can i get for this thing? |
|
under the wi-fi networks this is what i see
wi-fi is on linksys1 (our wifi router) is shown. there is a lock next to it and the signal is good you click on linksys1 and it asks for a password i enter in our password and nothing happens. the join button in the lower right will not light up. any ideas? |

not sure? how do i check that Go into the router setup Click 'Wireless' Click 'Wireless MAC Filter' See if it's enabled... if so, you need to add the MAC address of your iTouch to the list of PC that can access the network. While you're in there, check the type of security you have... WPA/WPA2, etc... That is on 'Wireless' / 'Wireless Security' |

Subscribing.
My son's iPod Touch will connect to our home WEP encrypted just fine, but is apparently having trouble connecting to my parents' WPA encrypted network while he is there visiting. I got tired of trying to troubleshoot it over the phone with either a 10 year old kid or a 65 year old woman, but I'll be there in a couple days to celebrate Christmas on that side of the family and pick up kids. |

Turn off the security (make it an open network) temporarily on your Router and see if you can connect with the iPod Touch then.
Reduce the variables, corner the one that is the problem, shoot it in the head. As far as I know, the touch only does WEP, not WPA. Also, it is very very easy to fat-finger a password on a Touch, go slowly. My network uses a hexidecimal password with easy to type number sequences followed by easy to type letter sequences (ABCDEF) |

Quoted:
To address a previous comment, the iPhone (and probably iTouch) do support WPA2... that's what I'm running here at home. If you're using WPA2, I believe it is case sensitive on the password. Check that as well. i did try changing the password using upper and lower cases but it still didnt take. |

i was reading my papers that came with the router. it said for me to adjust any of its properties i am suppose to type in my IP address in the web bar. from there i can access the router. how do i find my ip address ? Well, to adjust the settings of the router you use the IP address of the router, not your IP address. The default is: 192.168.1.1 |

i have a password that is 6 characters long and then a security key that is 10 characters long. ive tried entering both. In the router management pages, select 'Wireless' then 'Wireless Security' -what is the Security Mode? -do you have a WPA shared key? Is that what you're entering? |
|
Quoted:
security mode is WPA2 PERSONAL no shared key listed below the security mode is Encription Passphrase key renewal That looks like the issue... you have to have a passphrase in there to connect. You seem to have a different model Linksys than I do. Give me the model number and I'll pull the manual... then tell you how to generate your key. |

router just went tits up on me. it locked my laptop out. i had to hook directly into my modem. it bumped out my laptop and said i couldnt access my router. im trying to connect to the router now fuck me Wow... sounds like your laptop never had a key in use either. Once you generate the key... that is the password you use to connect to your network. |

Quoted:
how do you restart the router? its all messed up and wont let me access the net. From the manual... There are two ways to reset the Router’s factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset Button for approximately five seconds, or restore the defaults from Administration > Factory Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility. |

Quoted:
ok i got it reset. now i gotta start from the beginning. what security setting should i choose? WPA2 with TKIP. That's about the most secure you can get on that router. And change the Admin password too... After you enter a passphrase it should generate the key. That is the key/password you use when you connect to the router. This will also include your laptop. |

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I want to put videos on my Touch but I need to get them into iTunes first. I've tried Adding the files to the library, click and dragging...but...nothing happens. How do I get non itune movies on to my touch? I believe they have to be converted to an Apple compatible format. Someone else here should know. But I would suggest a new thread so you get their attention. |
