Wireless router? having trouble figuring thisout on my own :P quick question, plz click?

Question

so i have this Wireless Router thing and it's shaped like a box and thats the only way I can think to explain it. apparently it's sold from like 70$ & up. I have had an Ipod touch for almost two months now and I still don't have access to the internet stuff. I'm trying to figure out what password to enter in the Wi-fi place in settings for my "Home" connection. I'm pretty sure it has the correct password written on my Wireless Router box thing? But which one do I use for the password? There's like a Serial Number, a Mac Address and a bunch of others I could use.

Confused???

Firstly, is the router linked up to a computer? (as in have you gone through the wizard which came on a cd with the router and installed it). With wireless routers you mostly need to do that to set up the connection before you can use it. After going through that wizard and installing the router you will reach a stage asking if you want to have an encrypted password (which is normally letters and numbers such as ff7gsleij etc =P). This is set up and must be entered by every device that wants to connect to your network (i.e. every computer, games console, wireless device) to stop the next door neighbour stealing your connection!. Once that has been made, enter that code when prompted on the ipod touch and you'll be connected

Answer 3

You need to find out who set up your wireless router if you have one.  You probably have some form of network security enabled and it could be

WEP which is wired equivelent privacy and could

have a WEP code on any of 4 possible keys which is 10 or 24 characters each picked from between the digits 1 to 9 along with letters a through f .    It could be something called WPA  or

you could have mac address filtering.   It all depends upon how the router was programmed.

Security is much like a key, you have to have it and

you are not going to know how to get past it unless you have been provided the key.  

  If you own the router and your settings are unknown, you can probably hit a hardware reset button to restore it to factory defaults.   You can

find support on how to do that on the website of

your router manufacturer, most often Linksys, but possibly Dlink, Belkin, Netgear.  

        You may be able to contact their tech support also, but you may want to find a computer savvy friend who is kind to help you,  I've been told that of the tech support people at router companies expect some basic PC and networking background and have lower than average skills with standard American English

Answer 5

With the ipod you received an instruction sheet.

Do what the picture say to do, IN THE ORDER that they appear.  Do not switch the order.

After you put the ipod installation CD into your computer, you will be prompted for the

number or password at point(s) in the wizard set-up.

After you've installed the hardware, then you need to go ONLINE to the ipod site, and download the PROGRAM that completes your access to the site.  I know that is confusing, because it's different than any other set-up before.  But trust me, that's the way.

AFTER you've downloaded the itunes program, then you can either download itunes, or use the drag and drop feature to put your own tunes into the itunes library.

Only after the tunes are put into the library, is it possible to put them into the ipod hardware.

Then you can delete the tunes from the library if you want.

If you are still confused about which to enter in the request box, try each one at a time, until you get the right one.
