My iPod (5th Generation) recognises my home WiFi but it won't connect to it. There is no problem with the network as my laptop connects perfectly.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I've already rebooted my iPod & also reset the network settings but there has been no change.
iOS 8.3
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
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network
- 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 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.
I'm not too sure to whether or not it connects to other networks. The iOS device does see the network. There are no error messages. Other devices connect except for my iPod. My iPod was able to connect earlier today but then I came home after work & training and it won't connect all of a sudden.
