Hi all, Thanks to everyone who has written about the WPA issue. That is just such a disappointment! I was really liking what I'd seen so far in the BN, but without WPA, or at least a guarantee of it in the fall update, I think my unit's going back. Anymore, WPA, and even WPA2 is just the norm, so I can't imagine why Humanware wouldn't get that supported. I had chosen the BN because I wanted support for MobileSpeak, but I also want something that will connect to my home network. You're right, Richard, the BrailleSense plus does support WPA, but it does not have support for MobileSpeak, so that put it off my list. I may go ahead and upgrade my Pacmate to Omni, but as some on this list know, that has it's own limitations.
Again, thanks to everyone for your help.
