I'm having the same problem as Charles C - problems setting up the Touch on my home router (WRT54G).?

Once entered, the device sees the SSID, indicates good signal strength, but Safari and iTunes Store return "cannot find server" when trying to connect. I have triple and quadruple-checked the password (for WPA encryption), ensured that DCHP is enabled. Not sure which IP/Subnet and DNS (if required?) to enter on the Touch from my router's status page. I will try temporarily removing security tonight to see if that helps. If anyone has other suggestions, I would appreciate it!

Well if you have a good strength and the password correct it still doesn't mean that you have internet access, it just means that you have a good connection from your computer to the wireless router. I will suggest to restore your router to default by pressing the reset button. Try first by doing it with no security at all, then when it works you should put the encryption.


After you restored your router, go to your computer and go to control panel - Network connection - right click your wireless connection icon - then select properties. The select TCP/IP and click on properties again. Make sure that is set for windows to choose your IP address.





After you have done that use any of your web browser to check if you have internet connection. It seems that you are using a Apple computer if i'm not mistaken since you are using Safari (Of course it doesn't mean that you cannot have safari in a PC) Anyways, another problem that you might have is the type of internet service that you have. Do you have DSL or Cable or something else????





If you have a broadband service it is for sure that the internet company have installed a modem in your house, Now days those modems comes with routing capabilities. If that is the case that modem might be doing DHCP and by default your linksys router does DHCP too so they would conflict with the IP addresses and no computer will know what IP address is assigned to them, so write me back telling me what kind of internet service you have and what brand and model is your modem.
