From some of the things Allison said in her post that I'm forwarding, I
think she meant it to be for a broader audience than just me, so I'm sending
it over. <smile>

I've had some connection issues with my Apex. Neither my distributor nor
I could connect either of our Apexes using my Net Gear router, although I
could connect using an more-Power and my husband could connect with his
PacMate. My distributor gave me a Net Gear router that he had, which was
a different model from mine and it worked fine. There's a possibility
that Humanware will want to look at my router to see what the
incompatibility issue is, since it could cause a problem for others.
I love the unit and the connection issue is the only problem I've had. I
turn the connectivity off at the end of the day to save on the battery,
although I don't know how much difference it makes. Maybe someone techier
than I, can comment on this.
I'm sure the scroll wheel is helpful for teachers and others who don't
know Braille commands, but I've turned it off.
Once NLS is supported, it will be as perfect as any notetaker can be, at
least in my opinion.

Subject: [Braillenote] Preparing for Apex: Wireless Connections
Hi, all. My Apex will be arriving Monday, and I'd like to hear from those
of you who already have Apexes (or is it Apeces? <lol>) about connections
and turning on and off wireless, etc. I know therewas one person who had
connection issues; not sure if there have been others. I'd like to try
not
to break my Apex on the first day I get it, so would appreciate any advice
those who have it about do's and don'ts for the Apex.
With my mPower, I'd put in the wireless card, then go to options,
connections, wireless, yes, then reconnect to an existing configuration
(my
home network). If I was visiting a website, after visiting it, I'd do
options, connections, wireless, no, while back at the main menu. If I was
downloading e-mail, once I got my messages downloaded, while still in
Keymail, I'd do options, connections, wireless, no, while in the inbox.
Does this sound like it should work with the Apex? Should I go to the
main
menu before turning off wireless, or just make sure I turn off wireless
before turning off the unit? Or does the order make a difference? Is
wireless off by default?
I'm just a bit nervous at some of the issues some people have had, and
want
to do things in a way that will make my Apex a happy Apex. I've been
without my personal BrailleNote for two months, and I don't want to have
to
go through this any time soon again. <grin
So can you Apex owners share whatever words of wisdom you have about your
units for those of us who are about to embark on the Great Apex Adventure?
<grin
Peggy <who can hardly wait until Monday!
