How to Setup Wireless Security

When it comes to having a wireless network at your home or business, having wireless security is essential. Having good wireless security can make your wireless network less susceptible to hackers and can make connecting to the network difficult for those who you do not want to have access. Regardless of your wireless router, configuring wireless security on your router merely requires going to the correct section of the administration control panel.

Step 1
Type your router's administration control panel address into Internet Explorer. For Linksys/Cisco routers, the address is 192.168.1.1. For D-Link and Netgear routers, the address is either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. For other routers the address may be 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1. If none of these work for you, consult your router's user manual.

Step 2
Type in your user name and password for the administration control panel of your router, and click "OK." For Linksys/Cisco routers, the default user name is either left blank or is admin and the password is admin. For D-Link and Netgear routers the default user name is admin, and the password is either password or 1234. For other routers the user name is typically admin, and the password is either admin or password. Consult your router's user manual if none of these work for you.

Step 3
Click the "Wireless" tab within your router's administration control panel. This is the same no matter what router you are using.

Step 4
Click "Wireless Security."

Step 5
Select the "Security Mode." You can select either WPA or WPA2 Personal, WPA or WPA2 Enterprise or WEP. For home users, it is recommended to select WPA or WPA2 Personal as this is the most secure wireless connection type. For business users, WPA or WPA2 Enterprise is recommended.

Step 6
Select the shared key or password for your wireless security type. It is recommended that the password be at least eight characters in length with a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols. It is also recommended that the password is upper and lowercase.

Step 7
Leave the "Group Key Renewal" setting as the default. Click "Save Settings" to complete the process of setting up wireless security on your router. Any laptops and other devices that connect to your wireless network will need to enter the password you set in step six.

Everything You Need to Know About 5G

  The latest CES 2019 set some trends for the future of technology and one of the most anticipated is the arrival of 5G Internet in the market. With the promise of being extremely fast and with double capacity for information transmission, the technology comes to revolutionize communication between everything connected to the internet. After the event, some innovation gurus say that from 2020 onwards we will live the “Data Age”, in which any electronic device will be able to analyze data that will be received via sensors or cloud. The big advantage of the 5G will be its simultaneous connection capability as the current 4G can handle a maximum of 10,000 gadgets within 1 km 2 . The arrival of 5G guarantees a range of 1 million devices within this same radius. And just as importantly, 5G will also bring data transfer capacity of up to 20gb, while 4G supports up to 10gb. And do you know where 5G technology will take immediate action? Obviously in smart cars, which are the future of transpo

Network Security: LAN manager authentication level

In windows server 2008, if we go to Network Security: LAN manager authentication level(gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> WindowsSettings -> SecuritySettings LocalPolicies -> securityoptions ) and right click on it, we cannot change the value of the authentication level. It is greyed out. To change this we need to go to following registry entry.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel and set the value. LmCompatibilityLevel should be 0 for Send LM & NTLM responses 1 for Send LM & NLTM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated 2 for Send NTLM response only 3 for Send NTLMv2 response only 4 for Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM 5 for Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM know more :  lan manager authentication level

Five technology trends for 2019

Even as new technologies are developed, innovation around the application of existing technology is rapidly changing how organisations operate and how we interact with the world. Leaps in computing capacity, data capture and connectivity are accelerating this change. Here are five areas to watch in 2019 and beyond… Artificial intelligence AI is about machines with human attributes - speaking, reading, seeing and even recognising emotion - completing tasks while also "learning" from repeated interactions. Using algorithms that adapt to location, speech or user-history machines can perform tasks that are dangerous or tedious, more accurately or much faster than humans. Within a few years, analysts predict that all software will use AI at some level, according to US research and advisory firm Gartner. Importantly AI offers the opportunity to continuously tailor products and services providing a competitive advantage over rivals that is not easily copied. The question
