The password you'll need to put in is the one you set in your router under the WiFi section, not the one you use to do the admin on your router.


I would have thought this was the same you used for your other equipment.

Marie - please don't feel asking the obvious is
patronising, it isn't too me anyway, sometimes I missed
the obvious, and other times I just don't have the
knowledge.
This was actually helpful, but hasn't solved my issue yet.

You might be getting me there however, you see, I thought
the key or password I needed would be the same one I use
to connect my mobile or Kindle to my network [Guess I
still don't know the difference between WLAN and WI-FI!]

It seems from what you say, I actually need some code
that is written on the router? I've got a note of the
'password' for the router, which is different to the pass
key I use to connect my mobile and Kindle to my network
Since your message, I tried with this router password,
but still couldn't get connected. Incidentally, this
password for the router is one I created when I set up my
home network a few years ago, so I must have changed
whatever the default one was at the time.
Does this make sense? -

Andy

Not sure how to say this and not sound patronising so,
here it is: The code you must insert is not your personal password,
it is your WIFI key the code tied to your router,
written on it somewhere, usually in very small print.
Sorry if I state the obvious, but, to me at least, a
password and a WIFI key code are 2 different things: the
password allows you to change the settings on your
router, the key code allows other devices to talk to it
and hear it.

Good luck!
Marie

Hi Damon and Marie - Yes, airplane mode is off. The
Touch can see my WLAN, the name shows up on the screen,
and I double tap to select it, and that brings up the
screen with an edit field on to enter my password, and
this is where I hit a wall, as when I type it in, and
have had sighted help to do this too, it says
"connecting to..." then comes back and says "unable to
connect to..."
I'm able to connect a Kindle to my home network ok,
using the same password, but not this Touch. Any
further thoughts? -

I just use my wep number from the bottom of the modem.
Didn't have to do anything else.

I assume that in the wireless part of settings, you
have wireless turned to on?

Hi all -

Bit stuck, I find my wi-fi name under settings, and
try to enter my password, but I get an unable to
connect message. Is there something else I need to do,
I ask because I Have seen screens asking for IP
address, and Router number, and DSN etc, do I need
these fields just to connect to my wi-fi, or just my
password? -
