Q: 2 iPods won't connect to certain wifi network
This morning my two iPod touch 5's wifi stopped working, I tried unplugging and plugging back in the router and nothing happened. I didn't think much of it and I thought that my wifi would be working again when I got home. I was able to connect to my school's wifi so I thought I would be able to connect to my home's wifi when I got back. When I got home I realized that the computers, iPhone, iPad mini, iPad, game consoles were all still connected to wifi but I was unable to connect my 2 iPods. I found this very strange and I tried out a few things to attempt to fix it. I updated the IOS through iTunes on my laptop. I reset the network settings. I unplugged my router for 5-15 minutes multiple times. I powered off the iPods before and after updating the IOS. I made sure to type the password as well.
Why won't these iPods connect to my home network, but still connect to other networks and all of my other devices are connected fine? It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could help me out on this. I would like to know if there is any other way of fixing this than resetting it because I know from experience I can lose some valuable progress in the iPod even if I backup the iPod
Thank you,
(iPod touch 5, IOS 9.3.2)
