My iPod touch (1st gen) says No Wi-Fi, in the Settings!

1 Answer

Answer :

I just restored it again, and it doesn’t say No Wi-Fi anymore, it just says not connected. Then when I go to the Wi-Fi settings, it gets stuck on Choose a Network…(with the circle twisting and twisting but finding nothing). On my Mac’s airport there’s my network and about three others, and the iPod can’t find them). If I manually enter the name and WEP key of my home network, it gets stuck there too. I think something happened when I upgraded to 2.2. I had 1.9 or something like that, and that’s when this problem first started. I could see the networks, but not connect t them. Then I was like hey here’s an update on iTunes, so I did it. Then it wouldn’t even find any networks (just gets stuck). Everything else works fine.
