WPA on 2nd Gen 2.1.1

(Now... I wish we had a WiFi on/off switch on the home screen 😉 )

I keep saying exactly the same thing. Plus I want an iPod touch ten times larger as a tablet. Seriously, I'd buy an app wifi toggle (for ninety nine cents) and I'd buy a Touch Tablet. For considerably more.

And another happy user1 I had temporarily resolved my problem by using an Airport Express to create a 'nested' network within the DIR-655. Now I can eliminate that step!

The update worked for me too. WPA and WPA2 now connect fine. Was about time.

All other optiones mentioned in this thread didn't work before. I could only use WEP and also had to switch the wifi on/off a couple times before a connection could be made.

In the meantime i set up a guestzone network (which was possible from the latest router firmware update). It had WEP and was seperate from my main WPA2 protected one. WEP and WPA (or trivial things like MAC address filtering) would not really be good options for a main network, for obvious security reasons. So, glad WPA2 works now.

For some reason, my iPod Touch never exhibited this problem, but I'm nonetheless grateful that Apple created a fix. It is too bad they they are so tight-lipped about problems with their products, but at least they turned around a fix in reasonably short order. I realize it probably didn't feel short to those who had the problem.

It does seem like a long time, haha! Now that I think about it, I only had to deal with this for a month and a half or so, but it seems more like a year.

Hi!
Now can use the WIFI feature on my Ipod Touch V2!
I updated the Apple firmware update from November 20th AND I bought a new Wireless router.
I noticed that someone had the DLINK 655 and mentioned that it worked for them. So I bought one and made sure that I had the most up to date version of the firmware from DLINK. The DLINK 655 was about $130 CDN.
It took about 2 hours to get everything set up, but now everything seems to work. I now have a SECURE wifi connection.
Just thought that I would pass on the word.
I am kind of ticked off that I had to wait 2 months to use this feature at home. But... I suspect that I will be very happy with my purchase.
I wish everyone good luck and I want to say thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

Another happy iPodder here, works now with my SMC Draft-N router.
And that autocorruption for the text entry is gone, too.

I still wonder why the lady from "engineering" wasn't able to spot that in Apple's internal database.

Unfortunately, 2.2 has not solved my problem (nor has any of the suggestions on this list).

Wi-Fi was working fine on my iPod Touch until approximately 1 week ago. Then my iPod simply stopped connecting to any networks. (It WAS working with the WiFi at my house and the WiFi at my office).

It now won't connect to any WiFi. Including ones that have no protection. It also doesn't recognize nearly as many hotspots as it did before. In fact, I need to be almost sitting on my wireless router for the iPod to even recognize it.

Any ideas.

I have a iTouch that worked fine with my WPA2 network using 2.0.

2.1 was released and broke it.

I assumed 2.2 would fix it but, much to my surprise, it didn't.

I can see my network but can't join.

My Linksys WRT54G router is already on the latest firmware.

I tried WEP and Open but to no avail.

I am now going to see a Genius in the Apple store in Thursday to see if it can connect to any network.

I find it hard to believe the iTouch is faulty as it has worked in the past.

Sigh.

DIR-655 (Firmware v1.21)
========================
To confirm, it appears to work correctly finally. So far WPA/WPA2 working & YouTube streaming correctly.

DIR-624 (Latest Firmware)
=========================
Worked under WPA before (intermittent issues), however YouTube would not stream. With v2.2 update, it still does not stream YouTube.

We have got feedback on a LinkSys, Sonicwall & Netgear wireless units and it appears that Apple mostly fixed the problem -- but not completely.

I have the same router as you own and am considering purchasing an iPod Touch. Did your trip to see the Genius resolve the problem?
Thanks

Firmware 2.2 works with a Trendnet TEW-633GR too! :o)

I have an iPod touch (1st generation) who's wifi also does not work, even with the recent 2.2 firmware upgrade. I have even tried removing the encryption from my home network and yet it still does not connect.

Latest Firmware

Itouch 1st Gen, connects and stays connected WOOT!
Itouch 2nd Gen, connects but drops and has to manually reset up the connection.

Using Cisco WCS controlled APs. WPA and not broadcasted
