There is clearly a common issue with "devices" and WiFi.
As I have a mixed bag of WiFi devices some of which only support WEP I have a WEP WiFi network on a Netgear DG834G with v4 hardware.
Although initially the Orange San Francisco had been fine with the Netgear more recently it hadn't been getting an IP address via DHCP, hanging during the connection process as a result.
I updated from the DG834G version 4 Firmware V5.01.01 to the most recent from the Netgear websiste (with some trepidation as I thought a hell of settings would follow) to DG834Gv4 firmware version 5.01.16 and so far all seems well with the Orange San Francisco and DHCP. No settings to re-enter either, bonus !
I will see if it seems fixed and perhaps set the iPod touch back to DHCP.
