Having issues with your iPod touch not retaining your Wi-Fi settings? Getting tired of having to enter your Wi-Fi settings every time you want to connect to your network? Irritating, isn’t it? I feel your pain. I argued with this for weeks before I finally found the solution. With a few simple steps, and about 5 minutes of your life, you can put this problem to rest!

First, and probably most important, you need to ensure that your wireless network is secure. If it is not, or if you don’t know what that means, read this post for a quick explanation of WEP and WPA and how to set up a basic network, then this post for more on security. After you have secured network, you are ready to correct the iPod problem.

1. Reset your iPod touch.
2. Once it starts back up, tap the “Settings” icon.
3. Select “General” from the menu.
   
4. Scroll to the bottom and tap the “Reset” button.
   
5. Tap on the “Reset Network Settings” button.
   
6. Next you will see this screen. Tap the “Reset Network Settings” button to confirm.
   NOTE: This will reset ALL of your network settings. All saved network information will be lost. If you have network settings on your iPod Touch that you do not wish to lose, you should not proceed.
   
7. Once your iPod touch starts back up, reset it again.
8. Reconnect it to your network.
9. Enjoy!

I hope this helped. Have any additional recommendations or a better way to solve the problem? Please leave a comment below.

Solve a Vanishing Network on your iPod Touch is a post from: thekruser.com

Have an iPod touch and a wireless network? Time to put them together. If you don’t have internet on your touch, you are definitely missing out. We will cover all the steps. Here we go!

What you will need:

1. Your iPod touch.
2. A wireless network. If you don’t know how to set it up, read this post for a quick explanation of WEP and WPA and how to set up a basic network, then this post for more on security.
3. Your SSID (if it is not broadcasted).
4. Your passphrase.

Let’s get it connected:

1. Tap the “Settings” icon on the home screen.
2. Tap the “Wi-Fi” button.
   
3. Ensure the switch for Wi-Fi is on. If your SSID shows without a lock to the right, it is unsecured. This is bad. You definitely need to read the posts listed in step 2 above. If you just want to leave your network open to any hacker who wants to access it, just tap on your network name and you should be done. Not the best choice, but it is not my network. If your network shows, but with a lock next to it, select it then skip to step 5.
   
   If you are not broadcasting your SSID, and you shouldn’t be, you will not see it here. Select “Other” and enter your SSID in the “Name” field.
   
4. Tap the “Security” button and select your encryption method. Tap “Other Network” in the upper left to return to the “Other Network” page.
   
5. You will notice that the “Password” field has appeared. Enter your passphrase in the blank.
   
6. Tap “Join” in the lower right corner once your passphrase has been entered correctly.

You should now see your network in the list. It should be a different color than the others and there should be a checkmark to the left of the name. You are now connected.
