Extending your WiFi network of Range

The key is to get extension in range of the router and the laptop within the range of the extender. The portable does not have to be within the range of the router. Remember that because of the short radio, line-of-sight is always the best. Use the interior window frames to receive signals between the buildings.

If you followed the advice in my article "How to Improve your video streaming clarity," and can not use a Cat 5e or higher specification cable-based solution for your network, you can easily be implemented in environmental requirements. The microwave oven is not just getting from point A to point B and back again.

WiFi at 2.4 GHz and 5 consists of short wave radio, in contrast to the radio, for example. Place a solid object such as a wall, in front of a Wi-Fi radio waves, and, unlike many other forms or radio, you will get problems - the blunt, low-powered wave is blocked.

The advantage of a low power, short-wave to its own home network is that the wave will not be long. This means that many users can share the same spectrum. But it is also the technology disadvantage of persons after long distances through structures. Follow these simple tips to extend the reach of your network resources dead spots.

Removal of obstacles
Remove any obstructions between the antenna on the router and networking equipment, such as a laptop.

Place the wireless router in the middle of the space covered by the signal - from walls and metal, such as filing cabinets.

Repeat Signal
If the WiFi router can not be moved to the center of the area to be covered, or if you still have problems, repeat the signal through the purchase of a Wireless Range Extender. They are a more practical, professional, aesthetically pleasing solution than hassle with homemade aluminum foil dishes, boxes and such that the signal in one direction focus.

I use the EnGenius' U.S. $ 50.00 ERB9250 300 Mbps Wireless N Range Extender also crucial that there are still common older WiFi standards 802.11b and 802.11g handle.

Wireless standards
Many range extender only works with the latest 802.11n standard, which is good as your default router.

But many router / modem combo provided by ISPs, such as your telephone company, you can use the older 802.11g standard, and will not work with an extender designed specifically and only for 802.11n. Check the extender package.

Extender Speeds
For 300 Mbps or faster designated on the packaging Extender is for. This 802.11n capability theoretical speed is at the top of the available wireless internet speed.

It gives you the highest capacity available to purchase tools that allows for future upgrade and that it would be beneficial in offsetting losses over speed range between now and accumulate network devices.

Setup Time
Check the internet and the router works by monitoring Internet activity of the router with a laptop moved away from it. Then set the Extender.

Follow the installation instructions that Extender manufacturer. Turn the wireless radio on the laptop and connect the Extender to the laptop RJ45 Ethernet port, with the likely supplied Ethernet cable.

Enter the extender's default IP address of the documentation in a web browser on the laptop and follow the instructions or the Wizard to search for available wireless networks to perform. Then connect to the network with the wizard and enter the desired password. Close any additional instructions, remove the cable and start the wireless radio on the laptop.

Measure the existing signal
Enter an investigation by identifying the area where the signal is poor, and where you want a better service. Smartphone applications are available on the relevant market and the store you can download to your phone to do this.

I use free Wi-Fi Analyzer farproc Android smartphones, which graphically displays the WiFi signals around you.

You can see the wireless network, called "SSID" with graphic displays signal strength levels. Low levels indicative of dead spots.

Search Extender
Identify the best location for the extender. You must use an adjacent outlet. Look for a WiFi signal on your analyzer app that is larger than the signal at the dead spot position you have achieved in the previous step.

An optimal location Extender line of sight between the router and dead place. You can use a straight line or a horizontal elbow-like position where the router and the laptop is on the shoulder and hand, and the extender thoughts elbow.

The extension will then repeat the signal from the router and the laptop in the dead center will pick up multiple signals, not the original signal.

The key is to get extension in range of the router and the laptop within the range of the extender. The portable does not have to be within the range of the router. Remember that because of the short radio, line-of-sight is always the best. Use the interior window frames to receive signals between the buildings.

Final Configuration
Put the laptop away from the extender and open the wireless configuration setting on the laptop. You should see two wireless networks with the same name.

We show a stronger signal than the other. Choose to connect to this network. Move the laptop to the previously dead center, and any performance problems will be corrected.

Greek rhetoric turns into battle of wills

The power struggle between Athens and the euro area lenders have intensified, with the Greek finance minister, accused the "forces in Europe" to push his country from the euro, while his German colleague suggested to postpone the Greek selection and installation of a new government without political parties.

The reprimand by Evangelos Venizelos, is expected in april election as leader of the center-left PASOK party, his government struggled to increasing demands of international lenders must be met if Athens is to prevent a measurable full-standard scales.

Greece took a step closer to these requirements by Antonis Samaras, head of the center-right New Democracy party and the likely next prime minister, a two-page letter to European leaders Wednesday swear austerity measures to be implemented in the € 130 billion bail - in the program.

The letter that came along with a similar missive from George Papandreou, the former prime minister, still leader of PASOK, was demanded by EU leaders as a precondition for the deal. But the letter was a chilly reception in Brussels, especially Mr Samaras reiterated its position that "changes may be necessary" for the program.

There were signs of a group of triple-a rated governments, including Germany, Finland and Holland, were hardening their attitude towards Athens. During a conference call between the euro area finance ministers, said the three countries, they may include additional letters from other smaller parties like the Greek and openly discussed the possibility of postponing the Greek elections.

Prior to the interview, said Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, in a radio interview Greece could be the polls to be delayed, and install a technocratic government that ignores politicians like Mr. Venizelos and Mr. Samaras, corresponding to the model, is currently in Italy.

Karolos Papoulias, the Greek president, fired back during a visit to the military leaders in the Defense Ministry: "We are all obliged to work hard to move through this crisis, but we can not accept insults Mr. Schäuble Who is Mr. Schäuble insult Greece.?

"Who are the Dutch, Finns, who are these? We always have the freedom not only our own country, but defending freedom in Europe," said Papoulias added.

Meanwhile, a study published on Thursday showed support for New Democracy Party, Mr. Samaras's slide, although it will still win the most votes if an election were held now. The study of VPRC for Epikaira magazine put New Democracy of 27.5 percent, PASOK 11 percent, representing a decline of 3-4 percent of the portion of ND on the mood of the earlier surveys, while PASOK's share rose the same amount.

The two parties can form a coalition for reform after the elections in april, according to analysts.

The three left wing parties, the second Greece € 130 billion bail-out counter, a large majority of voting rights, as a result of public anger with the cuts, but their troublesome leaders to work together as in the government, analysts said.

A further increase of pressure on Athens, the eurozone leaders are ready to go on a debt restructuring for the private holders of Greek bonds immediately without the approval of the full € 130 billion bail-out. The move will keep the Greek government funds starve, even if private creditors in Greece agree on a separate agreement.

According to a schedule obtained by the Financial Times Eurozone parliaments would be asked to € 93.5bn to approve aid for debt relief within a few days, but thoughtful remaining funds to the Greek government begins in early March.

"We continue to work under the assumptions in the October program with the clear intention to ensure financial and economic sustainability in Greece to help," said a senior Dutch official. "But time is short, and we insist that the Greek political leaders to help us help them."

A Greek Finance Ministry official said Athens had agreed to other requirements that lenders prior to a meeting of eurozone finance ministers will on Monday, including € 325 for further savings, which was conducted primarily in the defense and local government budgets.
