I'm looking to get set up with the internet feature of my braille note. I have
never set up an internet connection myself, so forgive me if these questions
are really insanely basic and easy.
I have internet access through my desktop computer, its a DSL connection
through verizon. So, it says something about getting information from my ISP,
which I assume is then verizon. What info do I need and is this usually done
via telephone, like, do I call them and ask them for information or do I
basically not need to worry about that if I am already connected with my other
computer? Should I just plug the ethernet cord in and should that work?
I haven't tried as much yet because I have to go get an ethernet card first.
Any suggestions of ones that are compatible?
I do have wireless connectivity at home since I used to have a laptop computer,
so if I just got a WI-FI adapter card, would that work by itself without an
ethernet card? Are those two things interchangeable or do I need an ethernet
card before I can add a WI-FI adapter card?
I found this list of wireless cards that are supposedly compatible, but have
read in various places some of these don't work so well, does anyone use any
particular kind, either of the ones listed here or another kind, and have good
reviews?
1. SanDisk Connect Plus CF WiFi + 128MB Memory card
2. Ambicom WL1100C-CF revision 2 only (serial number WL2342xxxxxxxx)
3. Meritline MWL-672 Wireless LAN 11b Compact
4. Dlink DCF-660W, Wireless Ethernet Adapter, 11Mbps, 802.11b,
Compact Flash
5. Symbol Spectrum NetWLAN
6. Linksys WCF12 Wireless CompactFlash Card
7. NetGear MA701, Wireless Ethernet Adapter,11Mbps, 802.11b,CompactFlash II
Do any of the faster ones like the D's work in the braille note? Do the USB
connected wireless adapters work?
Thanks in advance for any and all pointers tips help and/or advice,
Kate
