Re: [GWN] Latest upgrade

Hello!
I can tell you what I use is indeed fast! If I don't have 54 MBPS set on my router, the Voice Sense doesn't even know it is there! It could be invisible for all it knows! I can see a router or two in the neighborhood but not my own which is a few feet away unless it is set to 54 MBPS. That is what I can tell you for certain! 


As for recent developments with Hims and GW Micro, it sounds as if things 
could be very unstable!  Our British friends never seem to know when their 
Sense Products are going to be updated!  I think letting GW Micro go as a 
partner will be a big mistake for Hims!  May have to sell my Voice Sense 
unless hims  can show they have quality support here!  If Freedom Scientific 
has caught their eye, I can guarantee you I'll sell my VS since I want 
nothing to do with FS.

What is the speed you are paying for?  chances are your speed is no
where near the 54mbps.

For example if your paying for 10 down and 10 up, that would be no where
near the 54 mbps.

Hi Raul,


My router is set up to accommodate both a wpa2 and wpa setting.  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.

  James, you can connect your Voice Sense if you change your home router 
to

using wpa instead of wpa2.


  Many thanks.

    Hello all!


    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
