Hi Sandy, First of all, you need to know what type or types of security may be active on your router.
The braillenote does support security, but your router may be set to accept a higher security level. For example, my router supports 802.1 g (think I have that correct), while the braillenote supports 802.1 b I believe. But routers are backward compativle as I understand it. Currently, I have wep turned off on my router as I'm far enough away from detection sources that it really isn't a problem. So, I just searched for the wireless connection and was able to connect without making any changes to settings. Obviously, there are only some situations where you would want to do this, but if you can, it might be worth turning off security on your router temporarily just to see if you can connect. If you're in an appartment, you may not want to do this though. You mentioned that your network is detected. Can you connect to the network itself? Once you have set up a configuration, go into the options menu, connectivity, wireless, (make sure that wireless card is inserted and active set to yes, and then see if you can connect to the network. You should see a prompt saying something like "connecting please wait" and after several seconds you should see the prompt "connected". If you don't get that, it probably is that your bn isn't set up correctly to match the security you have set on your router. Hope this makes some sense, and at least will help in identifying where the problem lies.

The BN can detect the network but I can't get online. I have completed what I believe to be the WEP Key - a ten-digit number - but think (from reading the manual) that I may also need to add a Security Level code? I haven't a clue what this might be or where I might find it. Then again, I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely. Any suggestions gratefully received. Sandy Bannister
