What a bunch of crap.  They are doing the typical tech crapshoot--we don't 
know what the problem is, so it must be your router.

The only time that I ever saw a router issue was once with a BrailleSense. 
Mike Jones from HIMS told me to try resetting the router.  When I did, the 
BrailleSense starting working fine again.  He didn't have a good techy 
explanation as to why, but it did make a difference.  Probably similar to 
the standard computer trick--try rebooting.

Here's the entire transaction between humanware and myself.  Sounds like the 
run around to me.
Hello,

Please check the below settings on your router.

These are the basic specs of your Stream’s Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11b/g/n operating 
in the 2.4GHz band



Things to try on your router: Ensure that the wireless security mode is set 
to: WPA-PSK Personal/**WPA2-PSK Personal ‘this is the preferred option’ 
(definition:Wi-Fi protected access with pre-shared key)



1)      Change the channel that the router is broadcasting on. If it is set 
to Auto, the try to set it to a fixed channel, **preferably channel 6.

2)      Try switching the data encryption mode between AES and TKIP **or 
combined AES/TKIP depending on the current setting.

3)      Try changing the wireless mode on the router to either G/N or only G 
or only N if that is unsuccessful. (Your Apex will only work on B or G 
however)

Change the SSID to something simple without capital letters or symbols.

Kind regards,

The humanware team

  Hello,

  I would suggest trying to delete and reconfigure your wireless connection. 
To delete it, press the number 7 to enter the wireless menu and then either 
to or 8 to scroll to the delete a connection option. Press the pound key to 
enter this and then find your configuration and press pound. Press pound 
again to confirm. Then scroll to the scan for available connections option 
and reconfigure your connection. Please let us know if this makes any 
difference and we can look further in to it if necessary.

  Kind regards,

  At most I'm 50 feet away from the router.  Signal is usually from good to 
excellent.  I've had the stream act the same way when stand right next to 
the router.  I had OoTunes on my iPhone all afternoon todayand never had 
buffering issues.

    Hello,

    Can you tell us how far you are away from your router when this is 
happening? Also, check your signal strength by pressing the 0 key when this 
happens.

    Thank you,

    The humanware team

    Hello, I am writing concerning internet radio on the Victor stream.  I 
have OOTunes on my iPhone and have no problems.  I keep getting the please 
wait message on the stream after starting stations.  They work for awhile 
and then the please wait message comes up and I get connection to the 
station failed.  As I said, I don't have buffering issues with OOTunes on 
the iPhone.  So I i know it's not internet connection issues here.  Any 
ideas?  Thanks in advance.
