Joe,
I found a post from Joseph Lee very helpful a little while back in checking
that our router was set up to the best it could be for our Apex.
He wrote as follows:
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."
I also hope this helps you too! Do let us know! <Smiles>

Subject: [Braillenote] Apex, Wireless Issues Continued
Hello,
My Wireless menu now works as it is supposed to, yet I
continue to have problems with the wireless network.
I've double checked that my router's settings match those
on the Apex, but no website will pull up like it is
supposed to. I'm not willing to drop my network from WPA
to WEP, and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered
issues with setting up their network using WPA? I've
tried a number of combinations, all to no avail. The tech
support guy wasn't able to resolve the issue. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
