I seem to remember moving very slowly over the WiFi connection with my finger at some point as I was connecting and, suddenly, yes it was there and I was connected. Can you go back to the search stage and make sure it's your router that it wants to connect to? You must be a bit frustrated, Andy, but you'll get there, I'm sure.


Try leaving that for a little while and doing other things and getting to grips a bit with moving around the screen and practising those gestures, which I find quite difficult. That will help to encourage you and then you can come back to the WiFi all fresh.

I'll let you know if I think of anything else.

Hi Carol - There's a more info button on the Touch, when
I'm on the screen from my network, and double tapping on
that brings up a screen where there are edit fields for
ip address etc, but didn't see anything that alloweds for
selecting the kind of passkey, mine is WEP, and again,
the Kindle, Mobile, and netbook all connect ok -

Ah, Andy, the other thing is that there is a choice to
be made about what type of key you're using, WEP, SKP2
or whatever.  Make sure that's set correctly.  (I'm not
sure if I had to set mine or it was chosen when the
connection was seen, but I didn't run into a problem
there myself.)

Hi Andy.

The password you will need to connect your ITouch to
your wireless network is exactly the same as for your
PC and Kindle.  You need to make sure that it is
entered exactly as it has been set, IE with capitals,
punctuation marks and so on if you use those as part of
your key.  Also, depending on your router, you may have
a limit on the number of devices you can connect at any
one time, since some basic routing equipment, typically
the junk boxes some ISP's provide their customers with
will only allow a very few connections.  You may wish
to ask your ISP about this if your still not having any
luck, but if the equipment is your own bought
separately then the problem will be elsewhere.
All the best, Ibrahim.

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? -
