I'd be inclined to uninstall 7.6 and use 7.5.2 You didn't mention your network setip. If you are using a wireless router and modem then unplug the power from your Touch, modem and router and leave it unplugged for a minute or so. Then reconnect the power and go through the setup process again.

Why do you unplug the power? The touch uses very little power. I completely understand wanting to reduce ones power usage but unplugging a device like the touch every night is not really saving much power at all. The touch uses ~5W with drive connected. So 365days * 24hours * 5W = ~44kWH .
