Thanks. But I think that does not work because you still need to be on a network for internet access, and the issue is getting onto a wireless network to get internet access in the first place.

Nikki, not a full solution, but can you access the internet by using the run command windows-r? You could go to google that way and then go to whereever you need from there. 

Good luck with finding a solution.

I ask because JAWS does not read certain things, such as the items in the start menu or the settings menu. Both my firm's IT and I asked Freedom, and Freedom had no answers as to why this was happening. My only other guessis that some firm security/firewall software, of which we have an ample amount, is interfering with JAWS' fully functioning.

I have tried using a separate client, like AT&T, to get internet as a way to bypass the start menu/settings menus, but this is behaving strangely, too. I have not been able to get it to work quite right, even though I know the AT&T client is supposed to be JAWS-friendly. I am only further confused because I do not have any of these issues when using my Windows 10 computer at home. Thoughts?
