Hi. Also note that the linksys router will generate a wep key for you.
Actually, it generates four of them and then allows you to decide which one
you want to use. You can see these keys at any time by going into the
router configuration page. That way, you don't have to come up with a key
on your own. You can also check the key to see exactly how it is laid out
with upper case, lower case, etc. One think. When entering the key into the
bn, it won't show you case. So be careful and pay attention to what you are
entering. Even if you look up the key on the bn later, the braille display
doesn't show the case of letters.

Hello Carl:
Yes, I use an encrypted wireless network here in my home with my VoiceNote
and it works fine. I'm using WEP encryption with 128 bit encryption. The
first thing that comes to mind is to make sure that the WEP encryption keys
match and that you are using the same level of encryption and the same key
(i.e. 0, 1 or 2). One of the things I did to help my issues at the
beginning was to start with a 64 bit key which I made up myself using only
digits. I then increased it to 128 bit also continuing to use only digits.
The other thing to check is to make sure that your instructor is not using
some kind of MAC filtering. If so, you'll need to add the MAC filter of
your Ambicomm card to his acceptance list.
IF you are using WEP , 64 bit , the key should be 10 digits long and for the
128 bit , the key should be 26 digits in length. Remember that the key can
contain only digits 0 thru 9 and alpha characters A thru F.
I'd be happy to assist if I can, contact me off list and we'll setup a time
to work this out over the phone.
