WPA on 2nd Gen 2.1.1

so does anyone (or apple) know yet if this is a problem with the current 2G touch HARDWARE? or is it just the 2.1.1 firmware when on the 2g?...

i want to get one but, if its the hardware that is being problematic. i will wait for a fix.

Thanks for any input!

Wow, "guest zone" .... was not even aware of this option. This is great for visitors and this iPod Touch problem. Thanks for the post.

Since people who updated their 1G Ipod touches to 2.1.1 don't seem to be having this problem, I would suspect its hardware related. It would be helpful if Apple piped in on the subject---one way or another.

I'm not going to go into detail like a lot of you guys did, but I am having the same problem and a really frustrating time waiting for a fix. My iPod Touch is 2nd Generation and will not connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. My laptops, phone, and last generation iPod Touch all connect without any hassle. Please fix this, Apple.

I too am having the issues everyone else is. I have a DLink DIR-655 and a 2nd Gen iPod Touch. I've tried everything anyone suggests in the thread as a possible fix and none work...

Interesting, if I leave my iPod plugged in it will maintain a wifi connection all the time. As soon as I unplug it and lock the Touch, then unlock it it takes several minutes to get it's wifi connection back...

Joining it to my wifi was a complete nightmare. I had to continually click the join button until finally it joined the network...

I've given the Touch a reserved IP, my router is configured to accept all types of connections (N, G, B) and different types of encryption protocols (AES, TKIP) and I too am using WPA/WPA2...

I sent a support request to DLink in hopes that potentially there is something they might be able to do from the firmware side but, I haven't heard a peep... I assume you all have contacted Apple...

This really needs to be addressed...

Judging by the number of replies here and also the number of reads of this topic... this is not an uncommon problem! Still i thought i'd add my name on the end in the hope that it might be solved that bit sooner...

ITs the same problem, new iPod touch v2.1.1 refuses to connect to a WPA2 wireless network on my Dlink router (DI-524). Works ok with WPA interestingly...

wow
my iPod touch can connect to wifi if i has no password
like i was randomly walking down the street and found one and connected
but at home, it won't
well, if i type in any thirteen character password it says it "connects"
but when i go on safari or anything, it says i'm not connected
and it doesn't even connect when i have the RIGHT password.

All,

I have had a **** of a time with this as well. I have read all of the posts here and have similar logs as posted below. I am using a d-link dir-655 as well. a work around for this issue is to create a guest network with the wep security (make sure you do not check the "enable routing between zones box") this feature is found in the advanced section - guest zone. hope this helps...at least till 2.1.2....hopefully

by the way i have the latest version of firmware for the router

Hi,
Am I the only one with a Billion 7402GL???
Tried anything, but I can not connect my iPod 2nd gen.

Please Apple do something.... this is my first apple product ever and more likely my last one.

Thanks

Same here ;-|

Unable to connect iPod 2G 2.1.1 with WPA on my ZYXEL P-2602HW-D1A, connecting with WEP is no problem at all....

Problem confirmed here:
- iPod Touch 2G 2.1.1.
- Trendnet 633GR

Only way of connecting:
- no encryption (no WPA, no WEP)
- manually entered the DNS

Any insider information about a new fw release ?

It seems like in most cases, whoever has a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N router will experience difficulties to connect to internet. I did call Apple Tech support and D-Link support, nobody would offer me any solutions whatsoever. This is a really frustrating situation as a loyal IPod customer. I properbly play with my IPod until the return due date about to come, then return it. Or hopefully, someone at Apple will listen to everybody who has this issue and get us an explaination or a fix to maintain the loyality.

Exactly the same logs here, DIR-655, V1.20 & iTouch 2gen, V2.1.1.

Problems are just w/WPA & WPA2 - WEP & no security work fine. iTouch 1gen & 2 iPhone 1gens running firmware 2.1 have no problem connecting.

I am having the same problem with my second generation ipod touch. Unable to join network. I have found a workaround for the moment. If I go into my router settings and disable SSID broadcast I can connect. If I get out of range I have to go back in and enable SSID again. There is a major bug in the 2.1 firmware I suppose. Hopefully if enough people complain something will happen. I certainly do not want to make my network unsecured. Wireless is insecure enough as it is!
