Hi folks,
At last, I have succeeded in using my home wireless connection
for the first time (I'm using my BrailleNote to send this email
via WiFi). I'm using a Linksys Draft N router.
I now figured out why BrailleNote would not connect to these
routers easily: This is because the router was set to use "mixed"
mode where it will accept all WiFi standards - A, B, G, Draft N.
Setting this mode to G only solved this problem.
Few WiFi tips:
* If you have KeySoft 7.5.29 if you have Ambicom 54ong card, use
"G only" mode for your router.
* If you still have the B card, use G/G mode.
For Apex users, it is preferable to use G only mode on your
router.
Few more tips:
It is a good idea to set up your wireless router manually from
the router screen itself. Most routers allow users to configure
them using a web interface. For ease of configurability, use
your computer to do so.
* It is a good idea to change the SSID of your network. Once
done, I recommend hiding it (if you are at home and don't want
others besides those who live at your house to use your network).
* Also, if using WiFi security setting, use WPA Personal (not
WPA2 since it is not supported by the BrailleNote. Also, for
authentication type, use TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, a
way of allowing WEP devices to use WPA without breaking
compatibility).
At least that's what I have. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph
