OS 3.0 wifi problem

Reset network settings.

No problem seen here with 3.0 and WiFi. I'm curious, is this network not broadcasting its name?

Also, some routers get touchy and you might want to restart your router.

Just did my update to 3.0. My Wi-Fi connection is HORRIBLE. It seems to come and go and I am only 6 feet from the wireless N Linksys dual-radio router - WRT600N. Never had any trouble with previous connections. Can't even Google search!. Tried turning off and back on the iPod and Safari worked 1 time, then connection lost error again. Going to try and restore the entire iPod. So far, this is not a good use of $10 for the iPod touch. Only thing different is the search and a Voice Memos icon. (There is no mic on the iPod Touch - so no use for that.) Bummed out. I expect this from Sony and Microsoft and even Dell, but not from Apple.

Tried the Network reset first - no luck. 1st network access works then everything else is just a spinning icon until it times out: "Network unavailable. This application must have a network connection on first use. Please visit again when you are online."

Really weird stuff. The Weather Channel Application retreives up to date info right away from the internet over wi-fi. So I switch to Safari and I get "Cannot Open Page: Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."

Ipod Touch 2nd gen. Less than a year old.

Also - another unrelated observation - for 3.0, the screen goes dim much quicker than it used to.

Update: I turned off my Wireless N radio in my router and it seem to have solved my trouble. I am connecting to the internet now. My guess is the "find the best wi-fi" features of 3.0 need some work. I happen to not have any wireless N devices right now, so leaving off the N radio is OK, but NOT acceptable for a solution.

Yes, I have the same WiFi problems. Last night I upgraded my iPod Touch to OS 3.0. Since then it does not automatically connect to my WiFi. I have to do it manually. It does however see the WiFi device and I can say 'connect'. However, the signal seems weaker (less stripes), once connected.
Also my applications WiFinder and WiFiTracker ("could not proberly initialize the WiFi scanner..") do not work properly anymore.

I will to reset my network settings on my iPod Touch ....... and YES this seems to solve the problem. Thanx.

Hello!
I have the same problem.

For me the solution are:

activate DCHP server in my router.

Your iPod can only work with the b/g mode wifi. You can leave the radio on and set to broadcast b/g/n. When you get ready to add a n enabled device, you won't have to change anything.

I have two iPod Touch 2nd generation. After I upgraded one to 3.0, that Touch had problems with wifi and the other had no problem. In my case, it would connect to my local Airport Extreme network but performance was either slow or so bad that Safari would say it could not connect. I reset network setting, cycled the power on the Airport box, powered off the Touch -- didn't help. When I looked at the Airport Utility I didn't see any problems. On the Wireless Clients chart, the two Touch's looked identical, but one worked and the other didn't. Log also looked the same for both working and non-working Touch. Via the Airport Utility, I restarted airport several times. At one point the Touch 3.0 wifi started working. I don't think it followed a change in the settings in the airport. It may have happened after an old G4 PowerBook went to sleep in the next room. Maybe it has to do with 802.11b/g issues. Or maybe it really was random. I have no confidence I know what caused it to start working.

RESET YOUR INTERNET SETTINGS ON THE ITOUCH! WORKED FOR ME.

Thanks for the response, but I know the iPod only has b/g wireless. To clarify: when I turn on the second radio in my wireless N router, wrt600N, it causes interference and I can not get online. Apple appears to have added (at the behest of AT&T) an aggressive wi-fi feature that tries to use local wi-fi instead of their over-burdened 3G network to offload data traffic. It has the unfortunate side-effect of making my ipod Touch indecisive when trying to join my home network. When I turn off the second radio, the problem dissapears. I never had this issue before my upgrade. (Which I do not recommend to anyone with an ipod touch yet - no real benefit and only can cause issues.) Note: I did NOT restore my iPod as I previously said I was going to do. FYI.

I have the same problem I restarted de settings but it still doesn´t go. It´s horrible.

Similar issues here. Network reset didn't seem to help. Have Airport Extreme at one end of the house, and Airport Express at the other as an extender. Touch connects to network, but will not connect to the Express signal. Then it seems to degrade my laptop connection to the Express as well. This has not been a good upgrade. Connects okay to the Extreme. Has issues on other networks as well.
