169.254.111.xxx
You said in the iPod Touch article that "v4 firmware will not allow wireless connectivity in address range 169.254.111.xxx but is fully functional using 192.168.0.xxx." The 169.x.x.x subnet should be avoided in private networks, as its sole purpose is to be used as a errata subnet in case the node cannot pull an IP address from a DHCP server. All routers and gateways on the public Internet do not recognize 169.x.x.x, so even if you got it to work somehow on your private network, you may not be able to NAT and surf the Internet efficiently. Non-support for 169.x.x.x by Apple products is not a problem. Consult this Apple support document for more information. Groink (talk) 04:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
