Hi all,
Reggie, does it have to be a problem with the BrailleNote? My gut feeling
is that it may be a problem with the router, not necessarily that it
needs repairing but here are a couple of questions for you.
1. Has anyone else tried your network; someone with a laptop, someone
with another BrailleNote?
2. Where is your router? Here are some no-nos for places for your
router. Remember, your router is a radio transmitter. Do not place
it in or near a metal cabinet. Do not place it near a microwave. Do
not place it on top of the refrigerator or near any magnets. If you
can't connect in the room next door, what's in the wall between you
and the router? Is there a heating duct? Try moving the router two
or three feet one way or the other. Is your house made of wood or
brick or is it made of cement blocks? <smile> When I casually
mentioned your problem to my computer guru he said, if she's got a
cement block house, it'll be like a faraday cage. You won't get
anything outside your house. Keep it away from the phone.
3. Are the antennae up or down. They should be up, and with nothing
close to them to block your signal.
Poor little BrailleNote, taking *all* the blame! I'll bet it's a
problem with the router, me!
