Connecting Your iPod to Wireless Network

First of all, you have to check the wireless settings. For this, you need to access your Linksys WiFi extender’s web-based setup page. There are three main wireless settings of your Linksys extender that you need to note down before connecting to your WiFi network:

• Wireless security mode
• Wireless network name (SSID)
• Password or security key

Find Out the Network Settings

Here are the steps to find out your Linksys WiFi range extender’s settings:

1. On your computer, launch a web browser of your choice.
2. Type http://extender.linksys.com in the address bar and hit Enter.
3. A login page will appear.
4. Enter the login credentials to continue.
5. Go to the Wireless section.
6. Set the Configuration View to see the settings of your wireless network and make changes, if needed.
7. Note down the network settings you need.

Note: You can also use the IP address of your extender to access its web-based setup page. In case you have Linksys extender setup RE6700 at your home, use http://RE6x00-xxx to access the setup page.

Once done, get started with connecting your iPod to the wireless network.

Here are the steps to connect your iPod to WiFi:

1. On your iPod, navigate to Settings and turn on WiFi.
