Hi,
I have recently bought 2nd handed a iPod Touch Generation 2. It won't connect to wifi. I have tried resetting the network settings, and when I got the iPod, I did a "Erase a Content and Settings" to make sure. Anyone have a clue how to fix this? Below are some screenshots I took. It takes about 2 seconds to display the "unable" message. If it helps, this device is iOS 4.2.1
iPod Touch (2nd Gen)
I wonder if, and this is a total shot in the dark, as old as that ipod is, if your internet is better than that ipod can handle. I know with my internet I have the 2.5 and the 5 connections. I think it’s 2.5GHz and 5 GHz and there are some devices out there that can’t handle the 5GHz.
Basically your wifi may be on a frequency that the ipod isnt’ geared to handle. You could google the wifi type of a 2nd gen ipod then see what your router puts out and see if there’s an incompatibility.

SOLVED! isn't connecting (obviously) to our network, so I tried our Guest Network, and after 2 tries, IT CONNECTS! can now load webpages nicely. Thank you to Skydiver119 for helping me along to find a fix.
Possibly. I will also look up the wifi handle for a 4th gen, one my brother has. Thanks though!
