The Client ID isn't needed in most cases, unless you're connecting to a network that doesn't broadcast it's name and/or you're setting up Static IP addresses. For the most part, it can be left blank and the iPod should be able to work without issues.

To setup an Itouch connection, select settings, then WI-FI then choose a network from the visible ones and when prompted enter the key.  If there are no visible networks select other and enter the privately supplied ssid in name and key in the security field.

Ah, found the client id field.  According the Apple documentation it would only be used in ultra security conscious networks.  So no it's not the same as the wep key

  • Connect to a closed Wi-Fi network (an available Wi-Fi network that isn't shown in the list of scanned networks).
    Choose Wi-Fi, then tap Other and enter the network name. If the network requires a password, choose Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password. You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a closed network. Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a client ID or static IP address. Ask the network administrator which settings to use.
