Yes, although I haven't checked the newer DLink routers. The older ones,
for some reason only with Jaws, their links showed up as graphical numbers
which you could re-label. But, with Win-Eyes and System Access, they were
named correctly. So, again, it is another bug-like something with Jaws that
Freedom Scientific refuses to squash. Again, don't know if it is still in
play with the newer DLink routers. I have a newer spare DLink router here
so if you need me to test it, I could, but don't really need to pull my
current router out of the network if not necessary. But, you can still use
the dLink routers with no problem.
I currently use a Linksys WRT-350 here. That is probably more router than
you need. However, although the interface works, getting newer firmware
from the Cisco website is almost impossible with a screen reader. They have
one of these spinning combo boxes, and it won't work with Jaws nor with
Window-Eyes.
For that reason, unless Cisco gets around to changing their website, I'm not
nuts on their products now. I have had some problems with my Linksys router
dropping the network connection, although the last time I updated the
firmware, it seems to have resolved itself.
I guess having said all that, you could look at Linksys if you want an
interface that is accessible with no extra workarounds. But, just be aware
that for the past two years, their website is a disaster trying to get
firmware. An alternative is Netgear.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] looking for a router
I'm in need of a new wireless router, and I'm wondering which routers work
best with JAWS. I know that D-Link has some problems with graphics and can
be a little tricky to set up. Are other wireless routers easier to use as
far as installation and router setup?
Thanks.
