    unless your neighbors have wifi routers (AND they are okay with you connecting to their wifi network), you will indeed need a wireless router to broadcast your internet connection in your home so that your ipod touch can connect to it.

    I suggest you buy a router - you'll have a better signal, the closer the router is to you. However, if you can't get the router, talk to your neighbors and ask them if it's okay to be suing their WiFi.

    You could use this router Tooge. You can also save yourself 50 bucks or so and get a Wireless G router. I have a wireless G on my home network, I bought it for 40 and it works great.
