Hello Jim: I have a VoiceNote with an Ambicom card and am connecting to my linksys router with no difficulty. The 10 digit WEP key (Unfortunately) is still visible even after entry. If the WEP code is a 10 digit code and has only digits 0 thru 9 and/or letters A thru F in it, then it probably already is in Hexadecimal so no conversion should be necessary.
When you set up your router, did you use something called MAC address filtering?? Mac address filtering is basically giving the router a list of authorized network access devices that can access the internet. Each device (Network card, modems, and yes, wireless access cards) have a unique MAC address usually written on a sticker somewhere on the device. In the case of the Ambicom card, the code is on a sticker on the bottom. On the sticker, there are two bar codes, underneath the top bar code is the MAC address which is a 12 digit code usually beginning with 00. Sorry, but you WILL need sighted assistance for this one. There is currently not a way in the Keysoft environment to read the MAC address like there is under windows. You should go to the configuration page for your router and see if MAC filtering is enabled. ON my router, the MAC address filtering is under the wireless tab. The list of authorized MAC address is on a linked page right next to the choice of whether or not to enable it. If it is, find the list on that same page or on a linked page and add the MAC address of the Ambicom card. IN the case of my Linksys router, the digits are entered in pairs separated by colons (:). If you do not have MAC filtering enabled, then disregard everything above and we'll keep working at it. hth Jeff
