Network Hell, Routers And Wireless Access

I would like to start of by saying I am sorry for not posting as much as I should have last week. I have been going through a few headaches this past week that have diverted my thoughts away from putting up anything that would mean anything meaningful to anyone. If your interested here is a highlight.

I have been going through a little of network hell in the past 2 to 3 days. You see I have always had a wired network for my computers but my wife and I decided to get a refrigerator this week that has a wireless access point to upload pictures. But come to find out every time I configure the refrig to my netword my router got blown away. Which blew away my whole home network.

Next I went to program my XBOX 360 system with wireless access. Come to find out that I did not have my media server configured on my system. I still have not figured out how to do that. So, thinking that my router was not able to handle the broadband needed to connect to the refrig and my XBOX I went out today to purchase another router. I almost purchased the same router as I had before. Come to find out, the router that I had, which was on sale the cheapoo guy in me, was not a very good router. If your in the market for a new router I would not recommend the Linksys WRT54G model. For a wired network it is great. But, for a wireless network it has issues. I switched over to the Linksys WRT54Gs. I have not had any problems as of yet. My wife has hooked up the refrig already and when the kids go to bed I will hook up the XBOX. I still need to figure out the media center junk. Vista headache next..

Anyways, I wish I could show you all the other linksys devices that I have gone through in the last 4 years. In front of me now I have the linksys router BEFSR41. This tropper last for a while. I was able to get 3 years out of that one. But it finally burned out on last year. Then there is the wireless b router BEFW11S4. This baby did not work out of the box. I never got any time on this one. Last but not least the Wireless G router WRT54G. It still works but has a sucky wireless network. It is also on sale at this present time at bestbuy. Don't get it... Spend a little more money and get a better router that will last a little longer than that one.

Internet Speed Test - Review And Info

The Internet has changed our life entirely. This new technology has become a major element which influences all that we do at work and at home. Hence we can say that our entire activity depends on the Internet speed, because according to this we can spend more or less time to accomplish what we intended to do. Since we live in a speedy century, we all are looking for a very high Internet speed, but this is not always an easy deal.

The first step is to learn how to find out what your Internet speed is. The Internet speed is determined by 2 components: the download rate and the upload rate of data which are usually measured in Kilobits per second. The download speed is the most important because we usually transfer files from Internet to our computer, but there are cases when we need a high upload speed.

We may test our internet speed in the manual way, by calculating the time our computer needs to transfer a file of a known size, but this is the old method.

The new way to determine our internet speed is to access a service that allows us to run a test through their servers by sending our computer an information packet which our computer will send it back to them. In this way the site measures the time our computer needed to download and upload the information packet and informs us the internet speed of our bandwidth.

By this test we measure the actual speed of the Internet and in the same time the real internet speedof our access to the internet. The actual speed limit is the amount of useful data that your internet connection can transmit and receive in a second. On the other side, the real internet speed includes also non-significant information. But when we make the test, only the actual speed is measured, the real internet speed is not important in this calculation.

Now that we know what our internet speed is, let's see what we can do to improve it. The first solution is to install optimization software. If you have a Dial-Up connection and use Windows 98 or Me, click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. Right click on the Modems icon and from Properties tab choose the General tab. Use the Maximum Speed Drop-Down menu to select 115200. If this setting causes your Modem to no longer connect, change it to 57600. Windows XP users should click Start, Control Panel and switch to classic view. Double-click the Phone and Modem options and choose the Modem tab. Change the maximum settings port speed to 115200 and if the Modem responds badly or not at all, change the speed to 57600.

Broadband users should think of using a tweak utility such as TCP Optimizer. After downloading the software we must run it and make a backup of our current settings. Save the backup, and follow the instructions in the software to optimize our broadband speed. Don't forget to click apply changes and click Yes if the software ask you to re-boot the computer.Now our computer should run faster. If the new settings do not satisfy you, return to the program and restore your back up settings. If you failed to make a backup, restore Windows default settings.

And the last solution would be to change your internet provider with a better and reliable one. We may choose from a large scale of opportunities. There is no reason to waste our time with a lazy internet speed when we can spend our precious time with a high-speed internet connection.
