And I'll admit I don't remember if I have ever used it. I do factory reset on my Touch frequently to test things, and do the setup via the PC so I can fiddle with it.
I see. I didn't realize the factory reset went to an older firmware version. (And I'm not absolutely sure it was 3.6.x before the factory reset (I may have mis-remembered). It was 3.something, I'm pretty sure there was a "6" there somewhere. Before it was reset I could see the WiFi signal, it wanted to connect to WiFi. After the factory reset, there was a WiFi section in settings, but it couldn't find anything. I didn't think to check the firmware version after the factory reset. I just figure it was designed to be setup via the computer instead of WiFi. At any, the setup via computer worked fine.
