My iPod 5 does not seem to connect to my WiFi. Other devices connect and neither does it connect at other houses. The only other place it connects is my school and right next to my router. It recognizes the WiFi but does not work. What should I do? I've all ready tried network settings, backing it up, and restarting.
iPod touch, iOS 8.1.2
What you mean "not connect to wifi." does it say wrong password ? or unable to join network ?
Did you check your VPN and APN settings? What can I advise you is that restart your modem, hard reset, reset networks settings on device, and setup as new device. Useless to ask but you're in wifi range.. ? and how your IP number starts..?
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? You said sort of. If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network? Yes
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect? Yes
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost Done
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 Done
- 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. Not clear you did this
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.
There are no error messages, it just doesn't load things like photos or comments on social media. About 5 months ago this started happening, it was absolutely fine before. And I have already set it back to factory settings.
My iPod says that I have WiFi, but nothing loads and social media apps say their is a connection problem and nothing will load. It sometimes says wrong password and other times says unable to join network. It has worked before in the areas I am trying to use it in.

Why will my iPod not connect to my WiFi?
