Why won't my ipod touch 5th generation connect to wifi anymore?

It won't connect to any networks, connected before and my other devices will connect to my network I have tried resetting it by holding the home and power button, and reset the network settings. I was connecting last night and then this morning is was suddenly no longer connecting to any networks. Does anyone have another trick to get it to work?

iPod touch, iOS 8.1.2

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.

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 your 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:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

No it does not connect to any other networks

yes it sees the network and asks for a password, then i type in the password and it says incorrect password(I know the password is correct as too it works with all other devices)

yes other devices connect

I tried resting it and that didn't work, either did holding the power button and the home button or resetting the network settings
