I have a 4g iPod Touch and have never had a problem but last night it wouldn't let me connect to any network with a password. When I turn off WEP it works fine. I have reset network settings on iPod and tried on multiple networks. I have read a lot of posts and have not found a solution, any help would be much appreciated.
iPod touch
If WEP security is used for the network you have to set up the router to use the first hexadecimal key and yo have to enter that key as the network password.
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
I am not sure if that information is relevant - it worked one minute and then the next minute it did not work on any network with a password.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
