10 Step guide to select best wireless router for your home

Step 1: Find out your Internet's top speed.

This is doable by contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or by looking at your account details. Internet speed, which is typically measured in megabytes per second (MB/s), will dictate your router's bare minimum speed.

• For example: if your Internet's top speed is 100 MB/s, you'll need a router that can handle at least 100 MB/s.

Step 2: Find out Local Internet Service Provider (ISP).

There may be better alternatives than what you're already using, and your current local internet service provider may dictate the kind of router you use.

• Some ISPs have the option of renting a router/modem combination. These typically cost a small fee per month, but are a good choice for people who can't afford to replace or update a several hundred-dollar router every few years.

8 Steps to Secure Your Wi-Fi Modem from unauthorized Access.

This guide help you to enable and configure the Wi-Fi security settings of BSNL AN1020-21 Modem. With this guide, you can configure any type of Wi-Fi modems irrespective of  brand.

1. Connect to Computer: Connect your computer or Laptop with the router using Ethernet Cable of via Wi-Fi.
2. Configuration: Type 172.168.1.1 in your Browser. (Each and Every Router has default IP Address to configure Router. If you have other company’s router you can find default IP address on manufacturer’s website).  
3. Authentication: A pop window will be displayed asking for to enter username and password. Enter admin in username and  admin in password field.( you can find default password for your router on manufacturer’s website)

4. Reset Default Password: This is the most common loophole to access the modem. Click on Admin page and click on Change Password. Enter Current Password as admin and Enter Now password. This will change the default password of Modem. So that we can secure modem from unauthorized access.

5. Set Wi-Fi Password : Click on Configuration -> Wireless Network and select Security Option as:  Wi-Fi Protected Access and Select Authentication Method as: PSK (Pre Shared Key) and set the desired password in Pass Phrase for Wi-Fi. It is recommended to include Special character, Number and Alphabets in Password.  Click Conform and Restart the modem.

6.  MAC Filtering : Mac filtering will give you additional foolproof Wi-Fi security. MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique number of each network hardware. This is the identity of a machine . There will not be two network cards (Any type) with a same MAC address. This is the manufacture set hard coded one.
Through the MAC filtering you can optionally allow or deny a particular Wi-Fi device on your network. You have to enter the MAC address of the client machines in the Modem to allow or deny a particular machine. For example – You have four laptops in a network and you want to enable MAC filtering. For this the MAC address of each machines to be entered in the Modem for connectivity, means you have to save the addresses of all four machines in your Modem.

How to find MAC address
§  For Windows PC go to start > Run ant type cm
§  Then type ipconfig/all and you will get some values as displayed.
§  Note down the physical address of Wi-Fi adaptor – This is your MAC address.

 

Click on the ‘MAC filter’ menu of the Modem configuration page.  In this page you can see MAC Restrict mode ‘Disabled’, ‘Allow’ and ‘Deny’. The default setting is ‘Disabled’.
Click on the Add button below and enter the noted down MAC address. 
Important: You might have noted down the MAC Address like this 5C-B5-24-98-9F-C4 but if you enter like this Modem will display an error message ‘invalid MAC address’. You have to replace the ‘-’ with ‘:’ means to enter the address like 5c:b5:24:98:9f:c4

Then click ‘save/apply’ button. Now your MAC address has been added. Like this way enter the MAC addresses of all the machines intended to use with the Wi-Fi network.
Now you can optionally allow or deny a particular or group of machines on your Wi-Fi network. If you want to allow one or more machines – Set the ‘Allow’ option and select the MAC addresses of corresponding machines to be allowed. To deny a particular machine, set the ‘Deny’ option and select the machine to be denied.

7.  Advanced settings : In the advanced settings menu of An1020-21, you can configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wake up interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set Express mode and set whether short or long preambles are used.

8. Find Connected Device:  Find How many Devices are connected to your Modem.

Go to Configuration -> Wireless Network-> Advanced view -> Wireless Network

This will list the MAC Address of connected Devices. 

 
In the standard conditions the default setting will work. You need not to configure anything.

Tricks to Improve Computer Speed

MSCONFIG

This is one of the most common tools that you can find in all Windows system. Run the tool by typing 'msconfig' from Start Menu --> Run, and a system configuration windows will appear. Click on the startup tab and it contains a list of startup program on your computer. Thus, one of the ways to improve your computer startup speed is to have the least programs to startup automatically with Windows.

Of course, you will want your antivirus to startup together but other than that, I believe that MSN, Skype and other similar tools will slow down your startup tremendously. You might be saying that you will always need to run MSN and Skype but a good practice is to enable them in the startup but prevent them from signing in automatically.
