iPod Touch won't connect to Internet?

I just recently reset my router due to connection problems, and now it's working fine again, but my iPod will not connect to the internet at all. I can connect to my router instantly when I put in my password, but the IP address comes up as 169.254.xx.xxx. I realize this is the IP code for when it doesn't connect to the internet, but it makes no sense because all of my other devices do and I know I'm inputting the right password.

I don't know what to do. Should I reset the router again?

I would check and see what IP address the iPod is trying to reach and verify that it is the IP address of the router. A computer will usually assign itself a 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address if it can't contact the device responsible for assigning IP addresses. If it is trying to reach the IP address of the router, you could try restarting your router. Have you experienced this problem before? Also, do you any filtering that blocks certain devices from accessing the router?
