How to Get Wi-Fi on iPod Touch With Ethernet Connection
The Apple iPod Touch enables you to connect to wireless networks and surf the Internet. If your home currently has an Ethernet Internet connection, you can install a wireless router onto the Ethernet line. This gives you the ability to connect to the Internet even when you are away from your computer. Perform this installation without adding on any wireless Internet access to your current monthly Internet billing statement.

The activation information for the wireless router appears on the screen. Type in the username and password if required (typically, this is "admin" for both), then select whether you are using it with any other routers, choose whether it is for a home or business, and select a new password.
