Hmmm ... my Braille Sense Plus works fine with a hard-wired cable modem. Ah well.

My settings show that the router is set for wpa DSK (tkip) and wpa2 (aes). Either connection should work. Since I'm on a high speed service, the router is normally set for up to 300 MBPS. I need to change this setting to 54 MBPS before the Voice Sense can connect. That's the only setting I need to change. I have three possible settings, 54 MBPS, 145 MBPS and 300 MBPS. The VS cannot connect at 145 bor 300 MBPS. the only way it works is with 54 MBPS. If I lived by myself, I'd accommodate the VS part of the time by changing the MBPS setting. My wife says we are paying for a high speed connection therefore, why mess with things and slow everything else up! Therefore, the router setting remains at up to 300 MBPS. The blindness notetakers don't keep up with this speed at all and I don't care which one you name! A Sense notetaker user, Apex User, and Icon Braille Plus user is out of luck with this connection speed. All netbooks and laptops work with this 300 MBPS setting just fine! Until somebody catches up with this, one is out of luck using blindness notetakers on a cable high speed connection and maybe ATT high speed connection for that matter. As I said, if I lived alone, I'd change the router setting on occasion. Since I don't, I must leave well enough alone and find another solution without disturbing the present router settings.

I managed to upgrade my VS just fine! All is well as far as I can tell. My wife may upgrade hers sometime today since I already have the files in place on an SD card! An upgrade is usually an exciting event for me or at least it use to be! My VS has been reduced to a glorified scratch pad or a spot where I keep some important information and that's about it! our units won't work on our Wy Fi which I wrote about previously! As I again pondered this, I was wondering whether the vS could piggy back on a network connection created by a PC? Sure! The PC would need to be up and running but maybe a suitable connection could be created for the VS to work on! I'm finding the VS doesn't work on high speed connections! Might there be a solution somewhere which can bridge the gap so the VS could connect without compromising the connection speed for our other computers? Would bluetooth be an answer? Just how could I possibly connect to the internet again? It certainly doesn't work on its own! Jim If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, visit: http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv
