Ipod touch and wi fi

MXW

Hi,

I will apologise in advance for being a bit dim but I need a bit of advise. My son has just got an Ipod Touch for his birthday. It seems he needs wi fi to use it. I have no idea how to get this application/use it or the cost, could anyone please point me in the right direction. My son is 13 today and is really stressed:mad: that he cannot use it and quite frankly I am no help at all as I have not got a clue.

Many thanks in advance.

Do you have a wireless internet connection in your house?

Hi,

No, we have sky broadband.

Ok, i should have reworded that better. Do you have a wireless router/modem which enables a wireless connection to that router/modem/Sky broadband?

If you're still confused here's an explanation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/connect/wifi_1.shtml

In order to use Wi-Fi on the iPod touch there needs to be a wireless signal in the area in order for it to connect.

There is a box with an antennae so I am assuming this is what you mean. How do I know if there is a wireless connection in my area?

Many thanks

Ok, then you should have a wireless connection in your house.

On the ipod touch, if your son goes to the settings and turns on wi-fi, it will list the available connections.

Select the one which is yours & he'll be prompted to input the username and password you use to log onto your Sky broadband.

think when using a sky router / itouch there's no username only password its the password thats usually printed on bottom of the router ( box with antennae) care with capitals

Hi,

Thanks so much for your time and patience, we have managed to do it by putting the password from the sky box. I have a happy son! x
