I’m with Spectrum in Fontana. I don’t think the router is the issue as
much as the modem. Since I’ve been with them, I think I’ve used a
TP-Link, Linksys and have been using an Eero mesh WiFi system for the
past four or so years now. Where you do have to pay attention I
believe is the modem that you use if you want to use your own which is
generally the better choice. You don’t have to pay the expensive
monthly rental fee and you can get a much better modem than what
you’re usually given by your ISP. Checking my Amazon order history,
looks like I bought my ARRIS Surfboard SB6190 back in June of 2016. I
just had to call Spectrum at the time and read them off the Mac or
whatever number off of the modem so they could ping or register it and
I was good to go. Other than that, it’s been plug and play and forget
about it but for a few area outages. From what I recall, navigating
the TP-Link and Linksys with Jaws were accessible enough to do what I
needed to do with ports and tweaking this and that, but as far as
Eero, I’ve only used the iOS app when messing around with the interface.

Hello everyone:
I need to set up port forwarding for a particular purpose. My ISP
provider, is EE. The router's interface is mostly accessible. I was
able to choose the device from the list, enter the start and end
port forwarding addresses but, I could not find the button to press,
which saves the new settings. I called EE and explained my problem.
EE sent a technician to my home to try and help me set up the port
forwarding function, which is when we discovered there were a couple
of buttons on the port forwarding page which had been designed as
graphics, which of course,no screen reader cannot speak.
Now, I am looking for a router, which has an interface, which is
accessible using JAWS. Until 2014, when Annie and I moved to the UK,
we always had Lynksys routers. Are the modern day Lynksys routers
fully accessible using JAWS, if not, can any list members
recommend a router, which is accessible, using JAWS.
Any suggestions, must contain both make and model numbers.
Thank you in anticipation for any and all suggestions.

Hi Dave, We have that same issue with the router that came with Spectrum. The tech who came out suggested the Asus router that they list will work on their website with their equipment. You might want to find out which routers work with their equipment and then find out which one is accessible. Karen

Hello Dave, You can connect to RouterOS via the API, FTP, SSH, Telnet, WinBox, or WebFig. I SSH in which is accessible. I can’t speak for the other methods. I could try WinBox and WebFig later this week to see if they are accessible or not. Paul

Re: jaws reading a lot of unnecessary information when reading ocr-ed documentss
After you OCR, copy the text and paste it into notepad to remove all the graphics. Then select all and copy from notepad to your chosen application like Microsoft word. Note that this will also remove other formatting like headings and tables.

The Netgear range

Re: Routers which have an interface which is accessible using JAWS
Soronel:
Because the buttons which are used in the EE Router's web interface are designed using foreground and background pixels, JAWS will not know they are there at all. In other words, these buttons, are not unlabeled graphics of the type JAWS recognize and tell me there is an unlabeled graphic.
