Wireless HELP!

It is pretty well known that iPod touch's have trouble connecting to a WEP network. I would try WPA if possible.

 

Just a thought

Would it be too difficult for you to do an experiment on your own network? Regardless of what's "reported" there might be something about your space that makes one kind of network work better than the other. If it turns out that WPA works better for you, who cares what "they" say?

 

I use WPA and my iTouch works great.

 

Yep me too....

 

btw

My home network is WPA also.

 

When I first got my Touch I noticed that the internet speed from my box was very very slow and the connection range was about 10 feet, which is crap.

I can't remember what encryption I use, and I don't know how to find out (It's either WPA or WEP haha), but what fixed my connection and speed issues was changing the channel my WiFi router box thing uses.

It was automatically setting itself to channel 6 (I think). I manually changed it to 14 (I think). Just find your router's address, pop it into your browser and have a look through the settings.

I have two WiFi routers in neighbours' houses that my Touch can pick up, I think at least one of them was running on channel 6, and therefore clashing with my box and slowing it down. ... I think.

Anyway, give it a try! lol

 

Really? My home network uses WEP (I have older systems that won't do WPA) and I've never had a single problem with my 1st gen touch.
