I was having problems with streamming live online videos to my tv from my ipod and I found that every few minutes the internet would cut out and i would have to keep resetting my ipod internet..Yet my laptop was fine!! However after lots of messing around and reading forums I tried a simple change on my ipod and wow.... I can now watch my online videos without the ipod's intenet stopping... I simply went into the ipods wifi settings, clicked on my wifi then dhcp settings and changed the http proxy from off to auto)


It works perfectly for me now, No skipping or loss of intenet ....

I would try resetting your Router, leave it off for 30 seconds and then turn it on again.


It may be running alright on your computers because it hasn't had chance to drop the connection yet. So try doing this, once it has fully been reset try connecting again.


Also, if your wi-fi is password protected, try clearing the password and type it in again.


Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Angel,


I'm sorry you're having issues. Make sure that you're connecting to the correct WiFi server. If you're connected, other unknown networks without a password can "take over" your device and it will automatically join that network. Go to Settings > Wifi and make sure you're connecting to the right one. Also make sure to turn "Ask to join unknown networks" off because that could be a cause. If you aren't using a hot spot, make sure that you're the only device that's using your network.

Hannah FengThe last response (before yours) to this discussion was over 4 years ago. I do not think the poster is still waiting for suggestions.
