Ipod touch WIFI issues with sitecom WL-025 router

Check for the supported WiFi routers and see if that type is on there.

More info needed.
Do you use encryption? Kind(wep,wpa,wpa2, etc.)?
What trouble shooting have you done(turned off encryption, reset router, reset iPod, manually entered the dns info, etc.)?

Welcome to the world of networking. I too have had many issues with my WiFi in my house as well.

Can you talk to the Internet with any other computer through your WL-025 router wirelessly? When your IPT connected to your network, did you have to enter a password for your WEP encryption.

In my network, I had to have all my computers wired or wirelessly had to have the DNS Servers for my ISP in my TCP/IP settings. You may need to do that on the IPT as well.

All your devices that connect to your network need to start with the same IP address. If it is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then your IPT needs to be 169. as well.

I do not have my ipod handy, but you need to put in the DNS server addresses into your ipod. You also need to have the IP addresses match the 1st 3 digits.

I have run out of ideas, as I am not a network expert. You never did answer the question of the network requesting a password from your IPT. Without a password, it will not connect.

I purchased 4 iPod Touch units. 3 of them are 8 gigs and the other one is a 16 gig. They are all at my home (same location). The 3 eight gigs wifi picked up all of my wireless anywhere in my home and connected immediately. The 16 gig picks up the wireless networks signal, but will not connect (no singal showing in the top left corner either).

I thought that i had a bad unit and took it back to replace it with another 16 gig unit. The new 16 gig unit does the same as the old 16 gig unit (will not connect). I am getting ready to trade the 16 gig unit for an 8 gig to see if it will work.

Is it possible that this is just an issue with the 16 gig units? I will keep you guys posted when i return with the 8 gig and test it.

Mine is 16GB and connects fine.

I just got my iPod back from my wife. I totally reconfigured my network at home so I was curious if the IPT would connect up with no issues. I turned on the WiFi, selected the network in my house. Entered the password and I was connected. No DNS addresses to enter!

Hi, I thought I would post this here, since it has to do with a router from the same manufacturer. I had issues connecting to a new sitecom WL-173 router with my iphone, and I changed a number of settings... encryption, dtim, beacon rate. At one point I thought it was the turbo mode. Eventually setting the encryption to wpa2 with aes was the answer(with all the rest of the settings default)

Before I figured it out there was some strange behavior, it seemed like the iphone would see the router and connect but then couldn't get an address via dhcp. I tried using a static ip but this didn't seem to help. Weirdly, if I connected to the router with my macbook first, and then connected with the iphone, for some reason the iphone connection started working-no matter what the settings. But in the morning, I don't use my macbook immediately, and it's nice to check what the weather is before you get out of bed.

So my process was I would change router settings with the macbook, put it to sleep, turn the wireless off on my iphone, wait 20 seconds, turn the iphone wireless back on to see if it would work. Somehow the macbook must be able to negotiate with the sitecom wl-173, but the iphone isn't able to do the same.
