Hi Don, Can you refresh my memory as to how to find one's WEP key in order to enter it on the mPower? Thanks. Best Regards,

I've found that for some reason you can get far better connections if you let the MPower create the entry for your connection configuration as opposed to entering the settings manually. Just do a scan for network as Robert suggested and then only change the wep from no to yes and enter the key. Another thing, it's best to manually set up the key within your router rather than letting it choose a key for you. That way, you can select a key which is easier to enter into the MPower. You can use all numbers plus the letters a through f in the wep key. I'd recommend that if you do use letters that you use lowercase since they're easier to enter into the MPower. Of course, if you have other devices such as computers connected to your wireless network you would have to change the wep key for them. Finally, many routers will let you define something like 4 different wep keys. However, the MPower only looks at the first one so that's the one you have to use for connecting the MPower to the network. If you only use one wep key anyway, you can ignore what I just said. <smile> Don ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
