I bought 2 4th generation iPod touches from DIFFERENT people, and neither pick up my home wifi. They pick up all other wifis except my home one. I have a iPad and iPod 2nd gen that both with connect but these 4th gens won't. Does anyone know why or a fix? I'm on xfinity's fastest internet plan.

So your iPod's can see the WiFi network but can't connect? You may need to change your password encryption. Possibly TKIP + AES or your WiFi maybe using 5Ghz bandwidth which needs to be changed to 2.4Ghz

Try a system restore, assuming that you haven't already. If you do and that doesn't work, then I suggest ditching the 4th generation.
