Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi Aaron, Suppose you encounter a hidden network in your router that you never assigned, besides your networkname? Once you're in your router can you delete the hidden network. After opening your internet and typing 191.168.1.1 Typing ADMIN, then the password The router should open. And how do you upgrade the routers firmware to date? Also Aaron, can I change the password to another password that you only share with family to log on their devices, when they visit? To secure the router in case, someone tried some funny business?

If you have secured your WiFi network with a good security protocol, the best to my knowledge of which would be "WPA2 Personal), then as long as nobody can get through that and join your network, as long as noone can physically plug a device into your hardwired switch which most routers also include, as long as nobody can get onto one of your own computers either by physically accessing it or by remotely accessing it, as long as you don't give your WiFi password to the wrong person and they do bad things with it, as long as you're not using Ethernet over Power and someone manages to join that network, you're pretty secure as far as that goes. That having been said, y ou should very well be able to change the administrator password for your router, and just be able to remember that if someone does need it.

Hi: Purchase the Netgear 4500 router. It has to be one of the easiest routers I have ever installed. Plug and play and I was surprised to find out it comes without a software CD. The web interface is accessible and that's how you set it up. DJ Reese - Original Message - Hi all, I have a Linksys a6500 at home, it is an smart wifi router,and I am getting some problems with the web interface of this router. I need a good routher that allows to connect at least 15 wifi devices multi tasking, , dual band, and with an UI accessible.

This is interesting and have heard this argument before. I get my router through roadrunner. When I logged in to make changes to my WI-FI name and password I noticed a generic log in to get into the router. I called them and asked if I should change the log in to get into the router. They said no because if a tech needs to come to the home or log in from the cable office they need the user name and password or they cannot help trouble shoot.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
You can certainly connect a router up to your ISP through your dsl box or cable modem. But it is not advisable to leave your router password as "password", "admin" or "abc123". That is unless you want someone to get into it and mess with your settings, not to mention what they can do should they have the know how to expose ports to the internet. And how bout that wireless network? You really want anyone off the street able to access it? Didn't think so.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi. If you have secured your WiFi network with a good security protocol, the best to my knowledge of which would be "WPA2 Personal), then as long as nobody can get through that and join your network, as long as noone can physically plug a device into your hardwired switch which most routers also include, as long as nobody can get onto one of your own computers either by physically accessing it or by remotely accessing it, as long as you don't give your WiFi password to the wrong person and they do bad things with it, as long as you're not using Ethernet over Power and someone manages to join that network, you're pretty secure as far as that goes. That having been said, y ou should very well be able to change the administrator password for your router, and just be able to remember that if someone does need it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi. Still more, you can forward ports so outside connections can be made to internal devices inside the network, which some people do have a need for, like me for instance. You can reserve IP addresses in most cases, for devices inside the network, which may be needed to keep a printer working correctly or to permit port forwarding rules to continue pointing to the right destination. You can in some cases view which devices are connected and perhaps how much internet traffic they are generating individually. You also need this interface to get connected to the ISP in some situations, as with mine. I use dsl (digital subscriber line) so I have to make my router log into the ISP with a PPPoE (point to point protocol over ethernet), and that requires setting the router to do that, plus I have to type in a user name and password that go to my account with my ISP (internet service provider). If you didn't need to do this, either you had someone do it for you or you had an ISP that can allow you to connect a router and just go with it, plug and play. the most common type of internet that will permit this is cable as far as I am aware, and perhaps t1 or t3 though I don't think many homes actually have those. So having a router that has a decently screen reader friendly interface is indeed a good thing. It is also not that difficult to get one, just some of the top of the line models aren't so great, which is not to say that you absolutely can't have a top of the line router that is accessible because you certainly can. Most if not all netgears are accessible though I personally am pretty fed up with netgear having seen too many netgear routers that are way too happy to throw WiFi clients off the network and not allow them back on until the router is restarted. Last I knew, Cradlepoint routers were quite friendly, and what little I've seen of TP link are too. I've seen a DLink's interface that was friendly, and the latest and greatest Linksys models made after Belkin bought Linksys from Cisco will be usable, if a tad tricky to get used to. The biggest no go issue I have with my EA8500, which would be one of the latest and greatest devices from Linksys I refer to here, is that you can't set up media prioritization at least not to the best of my knowledge. This feature allows you to assign certain activities to get more dedicated attention through the network and the internet so that they function more flawlessly regardless of other simultaneous activity on the internet, this is more commonly known as QoS which stands for Quality of Service. With the EA8500 you can "drag and drop" devices into the prioty list, so that they will get priority internet, and you can do the same for certain applications like Skype or a specific video game. This is useful to help ensure that your VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) works as best it can at all times to help ensure phone calls remain unaffected regardless of busy internet activity, or can help ensure that your Smart TV or Set Top Box like an Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV stick or a Google Chromecast will function well even while your internet is otherwise running flat out. I don't need QoS myself, which is a good thing because I couldn't figure out how to use JAWS to drag and drop items to the prioritized list here. On the old firmware on my EA4500 however, the feature there is more generically called QoS as expected, and is quite friendly for screen readers.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi. I have a linksys EA4500 and a Linksys EA8500. The EA4500 I ended up downgrading to an older firmware, but the EA8500 looks at first like it isn't accessible, but it is perfectly so once you get the hang of it. What is your problem? I'm returning my EA8500 for a non accessibility related issue with it. I'll probably then try a linksys WRT1900. If you're going through routers trying to find one, what is your budget I might just be able to help. One that I think I can recommend is tp link archer c9, but how much are you willing to spend? I haven't tried the TP link yet, it's on my list if the WRT1900AC doesn't get the job done. I do have a TP link access point though and the interface is awesome on that. Just in case you're having the exact same issue I did additionally with EA8500, there are configuration features near the bottom of the page. Use h till you get to router settings. Under that heading you'll probably have what they call tabs, but the screen reader doesn't indicate any control type at all it just says, connection, troubleshooting, WiFi, security. You can press space on these even though it doesn't say link or button or clickable, and then you'll get confused because the page doesn't generally reload. It just adds the text of the new screen down below, you can probably down arrow, or use the h key till you hear connection, for instance. Each page you load from the tabs I already mentioned will have a further subset of options, like for security you get Firewall, something I've forgotten, and Applications and gaming. The latter of those is what you need for port forwarding for instance. So could it be everything is there for you but you didn't try clicking on things that aren't indicating that they are clickable elements?

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi. I take it you're trying to log into your router's admin interface? Your user name should be Admin and the password should be Password. It is common to use no user name, and make the password be password or admin, or make the user name be admin and leave the password blank, or make both user name and password be admin. I've even seen the user name be user and the password be password. If none of these works, someone has changed yours to non default. If you can't find out what that is, then you can restore your router back to factory defaults, and that should return your password and user to what the router says it is on the underside of the device. Note that obviously, factory resetting will remove any pre-existing configuration that has already been done. Not knowing how Time Warner handles connections, it is possible you will undo someone's previous configuration that made your router work properly with TW and that resetting it will then leave you having to set it up again just to get internet access once again. Just a warning there. If you were the one who set it up or you have access to who ever it was that did, then you should be good to go on the reset button. That is usually on the back of the router among the ports there, and is generally a small round hole into which you push a straightened paperclip or perhaps a toothpick. You may have to hold it for 20 seconds or so to initiate a factory reset. BTW, make sure your caps lock isn't on when trying to log into the admin interface. I've been there and done that Cheers, Aaron Spears, general Partner - Valiant Galaxy Associates Developing "very good audiogames" for the blind community http://valiantGalaxy.com Sent with Thunderbird 38.2.0 portable On 11/20/2015 1:09 PM, Trish wrote: Hi, I would like to ask the person who just provided the info on the accessible router, did they just purchase it recently?

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
That is my experience as well. I did not install any extra software on my Netgier either.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Hi. I haven't really found a netgear router that I liked overly much, they appear to be pretty unstable for me. That having been said they do offer pretty friendly interfaces. Can you try getting a new non smart cisco (linksys) router to test for web interface accessibility and then return it if not adequate? I think your router must be an EA6500 not an A6500 which I can't find any references to. EA4500 which is my router offers the old firmware version so you can downgrade. I did this and mine is very friendly and usable. It also is an insanely stable router with decent range. It does not support WiFi AC though. I searched for such a downgrade for EA6500, and only got results for the same for EA4500. I think I'll have to conclude that downgrading to an old cisco firmware is not an option for the EA6500. A possible solution may be to use DBWRT, an open source firmware that may offer a version for the EA6500. However, I know nothing about DBWRT so I won't actually be able to make claims on just how well that'll turn out. If you just got this router and you can return it, I suggest that you do so. To the best of my knowledge, the best routers on the planet right now are the Asus RT68u which apparently is accessible to configure since I've heard of people who are blind using them, and the Apple Airport Extreme. Last time I looked, Walmart had the Asus RT68u, that, or what ever it's latest brother is by then, will probably be the router of choice for me once I outgrow my amazing cisco EA4500.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router
Yes, I talked today with netgear tech support, and they told me that the UI of the r7000 or r8000 are html, so they should be fully accessible. More over the tech support told me that to do what ever in the routers, I will be able to do it from the UI in the router or from the apps installed in the computer, so for our case, install the apps is not necessary. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Saturday, September 26, 2015 9:26 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible router That is my experience as well.
