Internet on iTouch: Is it easy to set up?
119020
With the iPod Touch you don't have to do anything to set it up and it doesn't cost anything. It will connect anywhere there is wireless internet as long as it is open or if you have the password to a secure connection. With ours, if we get on it at home we have to type in our password but if you are somewhere that offers Wi-Fi like at a fast food restaurant, all you need to do is open the internet on your iPod and it will come right up. Hope this helps!

Have had no issues. Wish the Web interface to control it worked better in android browsers, but it gets by. Would I recommend it, hard to say without knowing your needs. I you need functioning, easy, inexpensive video access to an area of your house. Yes I would. Happy you with my choice

The controller software that is provided made it pretty simple. Plug it in, load the app, connect to the AP, type in your settings. There are more advanced configurations that would require a bit more knowledge to set up well, but otherwise, as long as you can get the software loaded (which admittedly took a few minutes to figure out on my iMac), little domain knowledge should be required.

Pretty sure you need a wireless router in your home, yes. The WiFi on the iPod Touch can only find wireless interenet where wireless internet exists. Routers are fairly cheap and easy to set up, or so I've been told (I don't know how it all works either!).Otherwise, it'll work anywhere there's free WiFi. As I've never used WiFi, I've no idea if you need to ask the store (coffee shop, bookstore, hotel, wherever) for a password(??) -OR- If you just click to find internet and it does it(??)

When installing you need access to the router settings.if you will be using you personal hotspot you can adjust the settings I connected using an IP camera app to vie from Dubai using the URL I setup

Thank you SO much -- I can't believe how difficult this information is to find! Neither Apple nor ATT are helpful at all. You are so right in saying this should be included in the documentation. What's the big secret? I'm still a bit confused -- are you saying that with the iPod Touch, it is not possible to have internet access anywhere *but* near hotspots, or in my own wireless home network? But that with the iPhone, internet access (via cellular network) is more widespread, like a cellphone?

No, this unit uses the same kind of wireless network that one uses to access the internet. A web address and web browser are used to set up the device.

You can control over the web, They also have an app for the iPhone not sure for android. I use it to over see my vacation house in another state.This was the cheapest way that I found without paying for a serves.

I've not down loaded any apps. I mainly got it for Internet access while away from home. Sorry! Wish I could've been more helpful

Yes---I have it set up exactly that way. My setup also includes the Insteon Hub, which is what allows communication between your Insteon network and the Internet (for email, web interface, and smartphone apps for Android and iPhone. That hub is here: http://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2242-222-INSTEON-Hub/dp/B00AEDTWHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395026339&sr=8-1&keywords=insteon+hub

You will also need the Insteon Hub to manage the APP and make all your settings through. Its available here on Amazon too.

My Radio has difficulty connecting to My SqueezeBox.com sometimes.....my Boombox doesn't...... I am beginning to doubt I'll be able to use the radio on my screen porch while I'm in my pool ( the reason I bought the radio )...too frustrating to interrupt swimming to mess with the radio. Last summer I used my itouch to play Pandora or my Nokia internet tablet Rhapsody App on my porch and they worked great...but I liked my Boombox and the Radio would have been simpler with it's speakers and rechargeable battery ( eventually)

Runs Android applications and has swappable memory. IMO better than the iTouch, more flexibility! Most iOS apps have an Android counterpart, so why not do it right at get the PlayMG!?!?

I just got my itouch for Christmas. I have had no trouble syncing photos and mucsic, but am having trouble with video and tv shows. I have downloaded tv shows from itunes and can get them to play on my laptop, but they do not seem to be syncing to my itouch. It is not a matter of space...still have over 14GB. I assume tv shows would fall under the video tab...but they dont seem to be. What am I missing?? MP

Hi Leroy. Yes it is relatively easy and simple to set up. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you should be OK. If you want to use the remote from your devices in other rooms, you will need to install and set up the IR Blaster that comes with teh IoGear unit. Also do understand that the unit has limitations in range when trying to go through too many walls and over a certain distance. Other than that, the unit was great. Just did not work for me because of too many walls (4 walls) and over 75 feet distance. FRD
