Well i bought an ipod touch today and i was hoping that my brothers nintendo adapter would work with it. it turns out it doesnt but i know how to hack it and make it work but he wont let me.

so anyway, i was looking for a wireless adapter. would this one work with it? i dont want to buy it and have it not work. the ipod touch can take 802.11b and 802.11g and this one can handle both so im assuming it works? its $60 AU at office works, $10 over my price range but anyway i dont care.

there is this $50 internal one that probably would be better but its internal and i dont trust myself... lol.

That is for a computer to connect to a wireless network (opposite to what you want). What the Nintendo adapter does is, you connect it to a computer, and shares internet though that, but as far as I know, it only works with DS's and Wii's.

If I were you, I would just buy a wireless router, because you could just use it for other wireless things later on.

so basically im gathering i might as well get a wireless router?

should i get a wireless router or just an access point? i think they would do the same thing but an access point is pretty much for wi-fi? lol mcdonalds have access points that u can pay to use!

ok the wireless router is cheaper anyway and by the looks of it you already need a router. although my modem is a wired router as far as i no, it says ADSL Router on the front.

sorry im not the greatest with this stuff, im a software person, not a hardware person.

Yes, once your wireless router is properly configured, you can get on the internet with your ipod, remember to set up NAT (Network address translation and a working DNS)
Also set a friendly SSID, and remember to secure your wireless broadcast with at least a 64bit key, which you will be required to enter in your ipod when connecting (this will usually be a one-time thing though)

If you have any issues configuring your wireless router, let me know at maxoroberts@yahoo.co.uk I will be glad to provide whatever support you might require.
