Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to know, does the touch work on WPA or WEP wifi? What is the difference? Will it be able to log onto the one it cant right now in the future?

Thanks!

Now, by that do you mean it only works on one right now? Which one? I ask because I go to school on a campus that has wifi. We have two different ones. My touch only works on one of the two. I dont know why. The tech dept says that the one it doesnt work on is "too encrypted".
 
I know that it works on WEP because I'm typing this from my iPod and the network I'm on is my home network which is WEP encrypted
 
uh huh, so now I have no idea how to get onto my capmus' wireless. It asks for a password so I put in my student login password but nothing happens. Do any of you know of any tricks/ways to get onto servers?
 
how do you get on the network with your laptop or computer?

at my campus, we have to login via a web browser. so on my touch i open up safari and then it redirects me to a school page where i can login with a student id and password.

the touch acts just like a laptop, so maybe figure out how you do it on a laptop from a friend if you dont know how, or if you do know how just use that method.

I just type in my user name and password on my macs airport and it connects. For some reason it wont work on the touch. It only prompts for a password.
 
At my work, the wifi connect using non-broadcast SSID through WPA using window logon authenication.

How do i set that up using iPOD Touch?

Your campus is using 802.1x (aka. WPA Enterprise). The touch (and iphone) don't support that.. only standard WEP, WPA, WPA2.

Join the thousands screaming to apple for a firmware update 😛
