Wifi connection problem

glennpompier · Apr 15, 2011

Any idea why all Wifi hardware in the house iMac, Laptops, iPhone etc connects apart from one of the 3 iPods? Tried turning the router on and off etc. Downloaded the latest OS today. Turned the iPod off and on a few times. Get the message "unable to join network". I remember this happening before for some reason but can't remember how I got around.

Which wireless router do you have?

Virgin Superhub.

Chatted to a young guy in an Apple Store today who was as helpful as a kick up the bum.

As far as I remember you can set LAN IPs for particular devices so that everytime it connects the router issues it with the same IP.

Make a note of the mac address of the iPod then log into the router on another connected device and add the mac address into the LAN ip section. Give it an IP address 192.168.n.n
Check the routers DHCP range to see which IPs are valid.

Once done, apply the changes and restart the router then restart the iPod.
