How to Connect Wi-Fi on an iPod Touch to a Router

Setting up your iPod touch to connect to the Internet is simple.

The iPod Touch is a revolutionary media device designed and manufactured by Apple. In addition to letting you play movies, listen to music and view pictures, the iPod touch lets you browse the Web, providing the complete entertainment experience for the person on the go. Users can connect to a wireless Internet network using the iPod's built in Wi-Fi transceiver. Setting up your iPod touch to connect to the Internet is easy.

Instructions

1. Touch the "Settings" icon located on your iPod Touch. By default, it is located on the main home screen. However, if you rearranged your icons, it may appear on a subsequent screen. Swipe your finger across the display to access the other settings screens.

2. Touch the "Wi-Fi" entry in the settings menu.

3. Switch the Wi-Fi transceiver to "On" using the toggle switch. Your iPod will begin to search for available networks.

4. Touch the network that corresponds with your home network. If you have a password enabled on your router, the iPod Touch will prompt you to enter it.

5. Test your connection by opening the Safari app and navigating to a Web page.

Tips & Warnings

• Switching the "Ask to Join Network" switch to "On" will cause the iPod to ask you whether you would like to join a network whenever it is in range of one.
