Hi.
I have a sagem router and i am using mix mode which is wpa and wpa2 but
only because i have an old computer that doesn't support wpa2. My
braillenote however is connect via wpa2 and as i found a 63 letter
password was not working on the apex, cut it down to 34 letters which is
working great.
I am also able to change any router conflagrations by loging in from the
computer or the braillenote which is another good thing.
Louise.

I am going to be replacing my wireless router with a new one that

work better? I know WEP will work, but it isn't as secure as the
others.
It's no problem having your router operate both WPA and WPA2 at the same time,
and this is definitely preferred since you can choose which your client devices
use if they will not choose automatically. I have no problem operating Apex on
a router configured in this fashion. In fact, my home has three roaming access
points in it, and the BrailleNote moves smoothly between them.
In the matter of routers to use, my recommendation is that you go with
technical ability that fits within your price range, regardless of whether or
not the BrailleNote can configure it, unless it's the only device you have. In
that case:
1. Consider wiring your BrailleNote directly to your Internet pipe if
Ethernet, or
2. Get a router with a web interface that you can actually verify for
yourself. Many modern routers use javascript extensively.
My preference is for Apple's excellent Airport base stations, but they require software be run on Windows or
Mac to set them up. Although of high quality, they are a little pricy and feature-sparse, as usual for
Apple. If you get a Time Capsule or attach an external USB drive, be assured that the network disk support
works just fine with Apex; get anonymous access with username of "Guest" and password of
"Guest". The admin username is just "Administrator".
Cheers,
Sabahattin
