Ipod touch loosing wifi

clairek6

I have a 4th gen ipod touch for 18 months now no problems, the last week it completely loses wifi in my house apart from the room in which the wifi box is? any ideas why this is or how to fix it? because I've used two different laptops in the same locations with no problem connecting to the internet....
thanks in advance!

Did you update the software recently?

Go into Settings, Wi-Fi, then tap the blue arrow to the right of the local Wi-Fi network name, then click on 'Forget this network'. You will then need to reconnect and supply the password.

In case someone suggests that you 'Reset Network Settings', just be aware that if you do, you will lose all your stored Wi-Fi passwords and it seldom fixes the problem.

Tried both suggestions neither seem to have worked..

See if changing the Wi-Fi channel on the router makes any difference. Try 1, 6 and 11.

This is happening my iPad now as we'll. the really weird thing is it only happens when I go upstairs. It totally looses internet. Really annoying as this is only a new problem. I will try above and see.

Is there any new routers or wireless equipment nearby?
