1179295 2011-02-17 20:51:00 Ive constantly had issues using a linksys WAG160n and an ipod, to connect to the internet, every 10-15mins the IPod wireless would just stop working, and i would have to turn off the wireless settings on it and back on again to continue as normal. Im wondering if i have setup the wireless router right, as no other device has issues, and if i take the ipod elsewhere to a friends, the wireless works flawlessly. Im using WPA2 Personal, security, should i change to something else? Any ideas would be great, as its annoying trying to send an email, and i have to restart the wireless function everytime. aidanmaz (7180)
1179296 2011-02-17 21:20:00 Update both, then try again Speedy Gonzales (78)
1179297 2011-02-17 21:27:00 I had a WAG160N, and it was horrible, overheating, all sorts, but I did have a 32GB ipod touch working with it no worries. Maybe try dropping the security down to WPA and/or changing the wireless channel.

Firmware/software updates as Speedy suggested are also a good idea.

1179298 2011-02-17 22:24:00 the ipod is up to date, i will check the firmaware for the router. It doesnt seem to over heat, but there are a few weird issues. So what channel should i be using? I not really a wireless person. aidanmaz (7180)
1179299 2011-02-17 22:33:00 Try channel 11-13. If that doesnt work, try the rest Speedy Gonzales (78)
1179300 2011-02-17 23:14:00 Yeah they're flaky routers. The latest firmware helps a little, but to be honest you can pick up a WRT54GL for cheap as chips these days. Save yourself the headache... ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
1179301 2011-02-17 23:24:00 I wouldn't be so sure it's the router... I'd update the firmware on the ipod first. My dad's iphone 4 was terrible with his router (also constantly dropping), I looked into that and there were hundreds of posts about iphones and ipods dropping Wifi signal. Cato (6936)
1179302 2011-02-18 00:21:00 what firmware is the touch running?

i got my 3rd gen(iOS 4.2.1) connecting to my router with security WPA2-PSK no issues
