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

Thanks for the info! I will keep this in mind when I use my i-pod. Appreciate it.
do not blame apple for mistake that people make if they just dont know how to use wifi is beacause they are dumb becaus is very very easy and intuitive
Just call me dumb...but this tip has solved my problem, thanks for the help.
the ipod touch is made for simple use and everyday usage. I fiqured this wifi stuff out by jus exploring and knowing my ipod. Not everybody knows electronics but this new ipod generation is supposed to be easier and faster.
If u have problems jus practice finding all the settings and stuff like that.
Whoever you are, you solved the problem I had to set the Wi-Fi connection with my Ipod-touch even without subscribing to your blog. You are a genious! Thank you ever so much! And... yes, there are some of us that are not great with electronics, therefore, this pages help a lot!

I have Linksys router. I tried WEP and WPA2 etc. They did not work. I made it work by setting the WPA on the router side and IPod Touch Settings.

I have a problem with the Wifi: i connect to my home wireless with the RIGHT password (we checked via laptop)but when i went to safari, it said "safari cannot load this page because it is not connected to the internet, when it is obviously connected to our network and the laptop and desktop work just fine and are connecting to the internet as fast as ever. This only happens in my home wireless and Powell's Books wireless, but it seems (or seemed)to work fine in Goodwill and the library. HEEEEEEEEEELp?
