Yes you can do this with the Braille Plus, and no, it does not matter if your
computer is using a router or a direct connection. I believe you could even
use a dial-up connection if that's all you had. Basically, you're just
bridging Icon's internet connection with your computer's.

Jenny, does this also apply to the braille plus, and does it matter if your
computer has a router or not?

You can use your computer's internet port to access the internet through
USB. This can be done on the handheld using the interface cable that
comes
with the unit.
