At my house I can connect to the internet and get three bars but in about ten seconds it starts going to 2 bars then no bars and it says no server is found even though im right next to the wifi attenna. is there a reason why it does this and/or a way to fix it

spank you

I had a similar problem but managed to fix it by changing the 'channel' on my router. I have a Belkin router. In the settings you can change the channel (mine was on 11 and now on 12). This fixed the problem. I don't really know what this does, but I assume it was getting interference from a neighbours wifi signal which might have been on the same channel (but i could be talking rubbish). either way, my ipod now connects every time.
