Ipod needs to renew lease with internet every time screen is locked.

Every time I lock my Ipod touch 3gen the internet is on cause it shows up on my router as hooked up but when I open it and go to say the Itunes store or the App store it does not load. I have to renew the lease every time. I have erased and reset the ipod two times already and restored it. I have entered the code and changed the code to the internet access three times. Nothing seems to work it constantly has to be renewed. Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

ASUS, Windows 7

Any chance you are hiding (not broadcasting) your network name?

If that is what you are doing, then try these steps:

1. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings

2. After your iPod restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security setting, and network password.

I have the same problem with Ipod 3G. When Ipod goes to deep sleep (i.e. not using for 1-2 hours), it requires to renewal lease to reconnect to WiFi. Who can advise the solution for this?

I have a similar problem at my university. The problem is that the security certificate issued by the login authority is cleared every time the iPod Touch is put to sleep. There is an called Blue Login that retains the certificate and maintains the login certificate even if touch is asleep for several hours.

Hope that helps.

tigerten, thanks for your reply, but would you advise how to set the Blue Login as I can not find comments on the web.
