Thanks, Pemala. I did get WPA working this afternoon. Took me a while to
figure it out. I expected a key, but the key is what they call a pass
phrase.

I'm not sure if I will try WPA2 until I see if one of my old laptops
supports it.

Paul:

 

You can use either.  That's no problem.  I just know that with WPA 2, there
can be problems if you don't enter the Security Key correctly the first
time, it acts as though you are connected, even though you are not.  As for
the rest of your questions, I can't answer, as I don't have it.  At least
with the Braille Plus, we support all of those, so if you have trouble with
one or the other, you could always change the settings.

Thanks, Pamela. 

Sorry for the multiple questions below<grin>.

Do they both take a key? And if I make sure the key is entered correctly,
can two still give me problems?

Is two supposed to be more secure than one?

I wonder what makes it different?

Paul:

 

You want the first one.  I think 2 might work, but can also be more
problematic with regard to your security settings-especially if a key is
entered wrong.

 

 

If you have a choice, go with 1.

Hi, guys. I am thinking of switching from wep which I had to use with my
braille note to WPA. My router can do WPA personal or WPA2 personal along
with an enterprise version of both of those.

Which can the icon support of the personal ones?

I really don't find myself using my braille note much these days to access
the internet and feel that WPA would be more secure than WEP.

Thanks.
