Turn Wi-Fi Speed into Hi-Fi

Have the slow Wi-Fi speed troubled you? You want high speed, but you are not getting any solution for this? Now it's time to get rid of this problem. Here are discussed some tips for the same.

Setup the router in centre

For fast speed it's very necessary to setup router at proper place. You should install router at centre or nearby to centre of your home so that signal could reach at each any every corner properly. If there are various floors in your home or office, then it would be better to install router at top floor. Electronic devices produce interference in Wi-Fi signal, so always keep in mind that devices like microwave, TV, refrigerator, cordless phones, halogen lamps etc. are to be kept at least 10 feet away from router.

Boost your Wi-Fi with booster antenna

Generally router has one or two antenna(s), but due to this signal doesn't reach to each any every corner. So, in this situation, it would be apt to install booster antenna for strengthening the signal. It will widen Wi-Fi range and increase speed also.

Not to share Wi-Fi network name (SSID)

Do not share your Wi-Fi Network Name with any of neighbrour or anybody else. For hiding Wi-Fi network name, turn off Service Set Identifier under Broadcasting Option. It would be better if you add password to your Wi-Fi Network Name.

Remove Interference

Interference of one Wi-Fi signal with another Wi-Fi signal causes weakening of signal. To get rid of this problem, Wi-Fi Stumbler or Wi-Fi Analyzer could be used. This will prevent interference of other's Wi-Fi signal with your Wi-Fi signal and in turns it will result in increased Wi-Fi speed along with strengthening the signal.

Latest technology always rocks

The best option for high speed Wi-Fi is to use latest technology. Means always use up-to-date hardware. Wireless 'a', 'b' and 'g' has become old and it works slowly. Wireless 'n' is the latest version and it gives very fast speed. Using wireless n card with your laptop or PC along with wireless n router will give you best possible results in terms of speed.

This time Microsoft took a U-turn and added Start Menu in its new OS again. Similar to Windows 7, Start Menu is given on bottom-left corner on desktop in Windows 10. Users will get Touch experience  like Windows 8.1 operating system. Instead, users will also be having option to give similar look as that of windows 7 to the new OS. Actually, Windows 10 is a combination of classic look of Windows 7 and modern user interface. In this new OS you can also change the layout.

For example, suppose you are using a Hybrid Laptop-Tablet then you will be having standard desktop, but as soon as you unplug the keyboard, it will switch to Tablet mode. This time it has come up with Touch Button.

NO METRO AAPS

Windows 10 also doesn't have large tiles on Home Screen like other version of Windows. You can manage your items or can apply a background picture of your choice.

Google tests using drones to deliver goods

Google on Thursday said it is testing using drones to deliver items brought online, putting its own spin on similar efforts by internet retail titan Amazon.com.

     Two years of research into what Google referred to as "Project Wing" was capped this month with test flights delivering candy, water, medicine, dog treats and other items to two farmers in Queenland, Australia.

"Self-flying vehicles could open new approaches to moving goods," California-based Google said in a blog post disclosing the project.

"Throughout history, major changes in how to move goods from place to place have led to new opportunities for economic growth and generally made consumers' live easier".

'Project Wing' seems much closer to Google's automated car. This is also a fact that 'Project Wing' and automated car both are developed in same lab 'Google X lab'.

Online business  titan 'Amazon' sought permission for drone test flights in the U.S.A last month saying it is moving forward on plans for deliveries using unmanned aircraft.
