Setting up a router/WAP (Wireless Access Point) is something I have done before. However, I have <em>never</em> used an iPod Touch (nor an iPhone) so I'm not sure what is and is not possible in that context.</p> <p>What I have done in the past was to use a site such as <a href="https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm" rel="nofollow">GRC's password generator</a> to generate a 63 or 64 char psuedo-random hex string to use as the "private key" for WPA2 wireless security. I then cut'n paste to save that key to a file on a USB flash drive and then cut'n paste as needed to set up both the WAP and any clients that I want to allow to connect to the WAP.</p> <p>Gee, wouldn't it be great if I could also do that with an iPod Touch? ;-) But I'm guessing the answer will be "not so much". </p> <p>I hope someone here can suggest an alternative good way to easily yet "securely" setup WPA2 security on an iPod Touch with a non-trivial-ishy private key (aka password).</p> <p>Would creating a Configuration Profile via <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/" rel="nofollow">Apple's iPhone Configuration Utility</a> be a good way to go? Or would this entail annoying consequences/restrictions? For example, if you setup Wi-Fi with a Config Profile can a user still add/remove other Wi-Fi access points? Or would they be "locked in" to just that one WAP which was in the Config Profile?</p> http://phonehow.com/questions/160/ipod-only-plays-one-song-then-exits-to-the-main-screen iPod only plays one song then exits to the main screen.
