592323 2007-09-18 06:26:00 As most of you probably know, the iPod Touch coming out at the end of the month has wi-fi and I have a wireless router (or modem, w/e you wanna call it) BUT I don't use anything wireless with it atm, everything is connected by Ethernet cables.

So, how do I got about setting up a wireless network around my house. This is probably as simple as reading the manual, which I don't have, but last time I tried to use wireless with a old laptop card I had (lonngg time ago) it would connect for a few seconds, drop, connect, repeat. Then not long after that I tried again and it simply would not connect.

So basically, how do I securely set it up solely for the ipod, in which it's 'specs' are:

Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)

Thanks.

592324 2007-09-18 06:34:00 Well since noone here has an Ipod touch I dont think we can tell u how to set it up.

It'll most probably be the same as any other wireless device.

592325 2007-09-18 06:36:00 The easy part will be from the iPod. :) What wireless hub device do you currently use? or is that the G604t thing-a-me whatsit? winmacguy (3367)
592326 2007-09-18 06:40:00 Uh...what? I just wanna setup a wireless network that is the right...setting? for the ipod touch.. --Wolf-- (128)
592327 2007-09-18 06:44:00 have you currently got a Wireless transmitter/modem that your iPod will connect to? If not you can always use an Airport from Apple.
Either way the setup from the iPod Touch will be very straight forward and probably take about 5-10 minutes.

592328 2007-09-18 06:45:00 I've heard that, yes.

Like I said in my post, my modem is wireless (D-link G604t)

I have absolutely nothing to do with wireless set up atm.

592329 2007-09-18 06:46:00 Well when you get your iPod Touch, read the manual and do as it says. :) It should be fairly quick and easy. winmacguy (3367)
592330 2007-09-18 06:52:00 Oh man, maybe it needs bold.

I DO NOT HAVE A WIRELESS NETWORK SET UP ON MY MODEM

What settings do I need (ON THE MODEM) to make it work with the Touch?

592331 2007-09-18 06:59:00 Well WAIT until you get the Ipod, so we KNOW what the Ipod Touch has in its settings. Speedy Gonzales (78)
592332 2007-09-18 07:19:00 But why do I need to know what it has in it's settings? I just need to set up a wireless network that works with 802.11b/g....whatever that means.

As long as it works with the above, I shouldn't need any more info from the ipod itself.
