Hi. Have you tried Jim's suggestion, putting the wireless card in the back
slot rather than in an adapter in the pcmcia slot? I haven't tried this
myself, but will be interested to see if I get a higher signal strength
from the back slot than I do from the side slot.

Hi Reggie,
First of all, regarding security, you should be able to enable wep on your
router and then put the same key into the braillenote. If your router
supports 4 wep
keys as it probably does, be sure to use the first one for the braillenote
as that's the one it recognizes.
The way you describe your problem, it really does sound like you are
getting interference from something around your house.
It is odd that you can connect using the same card on the laptop but not
on the bn. If you are able to connect at all and even download mail at
times, it
really does sound like the connection is a good one.
I wish I had more to suggest.
But, if you are concerned about security, I'd try turning on wep. You can
use either 64 or 128 bit encryption requiring a 10 or 26 character key
respectively.
This won't hurt your connectivity, but it probably won't help it either.
I'm not that familiar, but if your husband is comfortable making settings
in the router, it might be worth trying to see if you can get the router
to use a different
radio frequency. I believe this may be possible with some routers but not
certain.
If so, that might be one way of getting around any interference problem.
I hope this is of some help. Come out to central California. It was 92
degrees F here today.
