well i think your problem is that you arnt getting an ip adress... im not sure how to fix it though sorry i couldnt be more help but ask about ip adresses and such and im sure you will find your answer

well it tells me all the ip address, subnet mask, router, and DNS, but idk if they are right or even what to set them as, well the only one i can change is the DNS

oh well then i dont know... sorry but sometimes when im at a hotel of something like that and they have wifi without a lock, a "login menu" pops up... maybe look for that or just try and fiddle around with it...
thats all i can think of... sorry im not more help

reset your router but don't HIT THE RESET button infact never hit the RESET button, instead take the power cable out for a minute plug in then see if the touch sees it and works - also try deleting it from the wi-fi list in the touch then manually entering the name and password etc.

That could solve it, althought my WiFi is a non secure network.

hey odevamack


in the router setup under the wireless security tab try setting your setting to this !!!


security mode : wpa personal

encryption : tkip

passphrase : this is the password to your wireless connection

key renewal : 3600

I would take off security altogether and see if that works. Hope this helps you!
