iPod touch automatically locates wireless hotspots (Wi-Fi), including protected networks within a given nearby range. If it's a secure network--the networks are listed with a padlock icon--the touch will prompt you for a password. This will be one of the keys listed on your router's wireless configuration pages. Once connected, verify that everything's working by using Safari to surf the Web. You can use the Wi-Fi on the iPod touch to connect to the Internet using Safari web browser, YouTube, or iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

How does the iPod Touch connect to the Wi-Fi
When you use the Safari, YouTube or the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, the iPod touch automatically does the following in order until it is connected:
If you had previosuly connected it automatically connects over the last Wi-Fi network you used.
If this is the first time you are connecting or if the previously used Wi-Fi networks are not available, the iPod touch will scan for Wi-Fi networks and show a list of networks in the range. Tap a network to join or connect to it. If the network shows a lock icon next to it then you need to provide a password to connect.
If the Wi-Fi network is configured not to broadcast or be displayed to the public an option to manually enter your Wi-Fi network name/SSID is shown. If necessary, enter the password to join.
When iPod touch is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of the screen shows connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the connection.
How to work with or change the Wi-Fi settings on the iPod Touch
To Turn Wi-Fi on or off
Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on or off.
Set iPod touch to ask if you want to join a new Wi-Fi network
When you are trying to access the Internet, by using Safari or YouTube for example, and you are not in range of a Wi-Fi network you have previously used, this option tells iPod touch to look for another network. iPod touch will display a list of all available Wi-Fi networks that you can choose from. Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.
If "Ask to Join New Networks" is turned off, you must manually join a network to connect to the Internet when a previously used network is unavailable. Choose Wi-Fi and turn "Ask to Join Networks" on or off. If you turn "Ask to Join Networks" off, you must join networks manually.
Join a Wi-Fi network manually
Choose Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPod touch detects networks in range, then choose a network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join. Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.
Make iPod touch forget a network
Choose Wi-Fi and tap the arrow next to a network you've joined before. Then tap "Forget this Network." When you do this the iPod Touch doesn't join the network automatically.
Connect to a closed Wi-Fi network or a network that isn't shown
Choose Wi-Fi, then tap Other and enter the network name. If the network requires a password, choose Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password. You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a closed network.
