Hello Mike, Please find below, the reply I sent to you on the 8th of July.
Re: wireless network cards Hi Mike, There are a lot of people on the list who now have a wireless network in their house but still do not know a lot about networking. Knowledge on networking is not essential, though admittedly, it certainly makes things easier. A router is a box that is usually permanently connected to the Internet either connected via a modem, or that plugs straight into the phone line if it has an internal modem. They often have 4 Ethernet ports for connecting PC's via cable and many on the market now have built in wireless capability as you will probably be aware of from the list. Any broadband provider should be able to give you advice on routers with Wifi (wireless) capabilities that would be suitable to use with their services. You would need to consult the router's documentation in order to set it up but we can help you with the setting up of your wireless connection on the BrailleNote if necessary. As long as you have all the necessary credentials set on the router, configuring the BrailleNote will only take a couple of minutes and the set up is simple. The upgrade card can be used for storage but we would advise putting any files that you store in a separate folder and deleting the folder when you next need that card to upgrade to the next version of KeySoft.
