Thanks for your info. So it sounds like maybe some of the connection issues
people were having were router-related. Hmmmm, I wonder if there are
settings or types of routers the Apex doesn't like. It will be interesting
to hear more comments, from Apex users and hopefully Humanware staff.

Hi Peggy,
I have had my Apex for 2 weeks now and have never turned my wireless off.
You never hear the words "network card ready" anymore since it is built in
to the Apex. The only issues I have had are when I use my bluetooth
headset. I find that I have to reconnect to my home wireless more often.
If I don't use the bluetooth headset I never have to reconnect. Setting
up your wireless connection is the same as with your mpower. Same for
your email too. Very simple I have found.
Before I got my Apex I saved my address book and favorites on a flash
drive and then copied them to my Apex. No problems with that.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you once you get your machine!
Marsha

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!
