I finally managed to connect to the internet, but don't know why the voice seems to give me more information per line than the braille does. Also, I can't seem to read word by word with space 5 or space 2 etc. Am I doing something wrong? I am trying to read the google news web page. Thanks a million for all your help so far.

You'll know the SSID if it is your Router that you've set up. Otherwise, it will show up as the name of the access point. You only have to enter your password once and then it is stored with the access point information. The Braille Sense will tell you the security, it will say, Open, WEP, or WPA. There may be a few sites where it locks up and a computer won't. No, pictures are always ignored.

My apologies for asking, but what is SSID, and how would I know which type of security I should enter? Also, will I need to fill in the password each time I use the internet? Many thanks in advance for your's and any other list members' assistance. I can't wait to go online with my braille sense. Just out of curiosity, will the braille sense freeze up more often than the average computer on certain web pages? Also, if the lcd is turned on, will pictures on the web sites be displayed?

If your wireless router is not broadcasting, so the BSP doesn't see it, you will also need to know the "SSID" for the router. That is the name either by default, or what it was given when it was set up. So, first, Go into Options and go down to where it says Wireless Lan, which I believe is three up from the bottom of the list. If it says "Wireless lan off, then hit the space bar to turn it on and hit enter to save the change. Then, open the utilities from the main menu and hit the letter i, which will open "set up internet." Then, arrow down to Wireless lan and hit enter. At this point, if any wireless access points are available they will show up there in a minute or three. That will be any that are broadcasting. So, you may see a neighbor's or a business next door if there is one, etc. Again, if your wireless is broadcasting, you should see it. Hit enter and if it requires a password, it should ask for one. If it is not broadcasting, then tab to Add and hit enter. Then go through the fields and fill in the SSID and pick the kind of security, if any. Open, is no security. The other two choices are WEP or WPA. Select the one that fits yours, and tab to the security key field and fill in your key/password. Leave the rest at the defaults and hit confirm, and then tab to close and hit enter. Exit out of all that and in a minute or so you should be connected. It may take a little trial and error. Hopefully that will get you started.

My apologies for not being able to provide any help to fellow list members thus far, but rather to once again ask for your assistance. As I mentioned. I just acquired my braille sense plus 32 recently so have not had too much time to learn all the ins and outs of the unit; in addition, I am quite technologically challenged so please forgive me for some of my questions, which may seem silly to some of you. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me instructions on how to set up wireless internet. I have already read through that part of the manual, but still don't know what to do. I don't know what access points, incription keys, and ip address to use if any. Thanks in advance for any help.
