ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb wireless issues

i have done the restore and i have reset the router and everything. i can get it to connect to the router when its very very close but when i move away from it it gets a weak signal and then totally drops the signal. it will receive one other signal in the same vacinity of the router but when i move away i just have the very weak signal the ipod picks up and then when in my bed room it becomes so weak it drops the signal totally and then wont connect to anything. it doesnt see anything and wont allow even manual connecting cause it says the connection is unavailable the ipod touch is about 3 years old now and everything else works except the wireless issue. maybe there is a way to have it fixed or maybe i have to replace the thing totally since its not worth much since its older and doesnt do to well with ios4

its the same thing with all routers no matter which it is. all the other computers that use wireless get signals from all routers that are around locked and unlocked. i found on another posting that someone had sorta the same problem and they said it could have been a static charge that screwed with the wireless chip. all was ok before yesterday cause it had no issues to ever speak of other then the slower processor and the less ram that would cause certain programs to crash but that wasnt so bad. would it ever be possible to replace the chip or anything or would it be better to just try to get a new one

it totally dropps the signal and the wireless symbol is totally gone and then wont receive any wireless signals around me when my computer gets everything thats near me including my router and thats when i am in my bed room. in the dining room i get my router and one other signal. i have had this for bout 3 years and mostly have used it with wireless when at home but when out anywhere i keep the wireless off to save battery so i am able to listen to music on it but now all its really good for is movies and music since some or most programs depend on wireless to even work. most of the programs i have used on the ipod touch are wireless dependent like messaging programs and a few games and other programs that use a net database. would u think it would be time for a new ipod touch or is it able to be repaired

u might be right. its an older ipod and not many people would even want to bother with the old ones considering they arnt as fast and dont have as much ram and cant do multitasking like the new ones can. also they dont have a camera at all anywhere on it. i guess it has had a good run. maybe somewhere i could have found a refurbished one but oh well its gotten lots of use
