Hi Don, I am 100-percent sure that I have entered in the correct network key. I have also double made sure that wireless lan is turned on from the options menu, then to go setup internet in the utilities menu and went through various settings in the advance menu and confirm--but to no avail, wireless does not connect. I have tried to connect via wired cable and that works great--but no wireless when I disconnect and hard reset via the back. Would it be possible that the BS only allows certain wireless routers such as WEP or WPA. Also I've had the similar problem with the similar notetaker and the tech told me that my network key might not be long enough and that it needed to be at least 10 characters long and mine only has nine. Not sure how this correlates. Thanks for the assistance.

I ask because it's easy not to get something in the proper case for example. You should be able to turn on wireless which it sounds like you did. Then go to setup internet. then select wireless lan. After several seconds you should see the name for your network, possibly your router manufacturer such as linksys. I let my braillesense get the automatic settings for my router. The only thing I changed from the defaults was to set wep key. Obviously, if your router is using something else you'd select that. Then, enter the key and be certain it is correct. If you still cannot connect, I'd turn off encryption on the router for a short test and see if you could connect the braillesense without encryption. If you can, you'd know that the encryption is the culprit and make any necessary changes to that. Just e sure to enable encryption on your router again when you're through testing. Also, iff you have trouble connecting and try it too many times, you may actually need to do a reset of the braillesense to get it to connect.
