I have the itouch and a linksys router model WRT300N. This is a wired and wireless router. I have been able to sucessfully connect wirelessly using laptops, x-box, Nintendo Wii, and Sony PSP. My itouch cannot connect. My wirelss network is called "Skates". On the itouch, I go to Settings then WiFi. It shows my network. My Linksys info says to use DCHP and it is a secured network. On all the peripheral devices I listed that can connect, I use the encryption key when it requests the password. When I select the network "skates" on my itouch, it prompts for a password. I enter the encrytion key. I get a message that reads "unable to join the network "skates". I have removed the security from my network to see if the itouch could connect and it still did not. I have power cycled my router and my dsl modem many times and also completely power down the itouch. I have been on the phone with linksys and they say that the router is working fine as it has been able to allow all other devices to connect. I have called Apple technical support and they do not know what is going on either. Does any one have any ideas on what I can do next to try to connect itouch to my network?
