Ipod Touch Wireless Troubleshooting Mistakes

So far I received over 450 emails to help people troubleshooting Ipod Touch Wifi. And most common mistake was the WEP key mismatch. Itouch users instead of placing 26 character (128bit) long key they put windows-mac user password, email passwords, and passphrase.

Another most common mistake was connecting to some WiFi Router that isn't theirs. On many occasions I asked "Is the router you are connecting to, yours or your neighbours?"

Always check broadcast SSID (in router configuration page) before connecting to wifi via Itouch.

I totally understand that some or most people do not know much about WEP keys and I don't blame them! I blame Apple for putting so little information on how to use Ipod Touch or connect via WiFi.

Again if you need any help with your Ipod Touch , don't hassitate to email me

Ipod Touch Msn Yahoo Aim Messenger

Last night I was having issues with my linux box connecting to my msn yahoo and aim messenger. I open Safari with my Ipod Touch and login to meebo.com and there are all my messengers!

That was my backup plan of communicating with all my friends.

Other thing I did is I open another tab and went to twitter.com awesome site for Iphone or Ipod Touch to write 140 characters message to all people that follow you.

Both websites above are ipod touch enabled!


What kind of sites do you visit via Ipod Touch? Are they Iphone/Ipod Touch enabled?

Linksys Wireless and Ipod Touch

Here is quick tutorial how to get your wep/wpa key and troubleshoot your ipod touch wireless with linksys router.

First we got to figure out what is your ip address of the router by default it's 192.168.1.1.

If not, go to any of your working PC's go to Start>Run: Type in CMD, Command Prompt should come up , type in ipconfig and check out what your Default Gateway is (your router ip)

In browser type in router ip for example: http://192.168.1.1/

If asked for password by default: admin (no username)

Once you are logged in go to Wireless and then Wireless Security, you will find your WEP WPA keys or passphrase (write that down).

Here is how mine looks like:


Next go to your ipod touch settings click on Wireless, double tap on your wireless and first enter WEP/WPA key if that didn't work, try passphrase.

Ipod Touch WiFi (Wireless Troubleshooting) Part 2

Since yesterday I received 29 emails JUST regarding Ipod Touch Wireless Issues. So I thought I’d give it another shot.

First if you haven't read this post please do Ipod touch wifi troubleshooting

As some of you know I used to work for a Technical Support, Wireless and Internet Connection Cable Company, therefore I know every single trick to get you online and that's what I’m here for.

Here are some other tricks to get you connected with your Ipod Touch:

The method with restarting modem/router and turning back on ipod touch didn't work?

How about this!

Turn OFF every single PC, turn off your cable/dsl modem, turn off your router and your Ipod Touch. Got it? Cool!

Now turn on your Modem first wait till it syncs (30-45sec), Turn on your router wait till it syncs with modem (30sec), then turn on your ipod touch!

There is one difference between turning OFF your Ipod Touch and Sleep Mode.
Sleep Mode is when you click on the button on top and Ipod Touch is off, well I wasn't talking about that.
To TURN OFF your Ipod Touch you have to HOLD that button for about 5-7sec and then move the red bar to the right. To turn it back on repeat the step above by holding button for 5-7sec!


Hope this helps if not please email me at ilovetoargue AT gmail DOT com and I will try to help you personally!

P.S. I will be moving this week to my new home and I will not be able to respond to you right away so don't feel like I don't care about you all!
