Suggestion for setting up a good secured router including wireless routers
I've owned three routers LinkSys Wireless since May 2007: two WRT54G (V6 and V8) and my current V1 E3000. All provided configuration options that can do if it is very difficult, if not impossible, for unauthorized access to my WiFi routers.
All changes must then your system is connected to one of the router's Ethernet ports and not through WiFi due to the modification point #3 of "General Suggestions.
All the elements in square brackets by "<>" are the titles of LinkSys Admin web pages or sections of web pages. Don't forget to click "Save Settings" on a single web page before you go to another web page or your changes will be lost.
Please note that not all pages of the LinkSys Router Web Admin can use the titles of Section-page/website such as used in this suggestion.
Make sure you know MAC address and physics of your wireless adapter so that it will be necessary for the point #3 «Proposals WiFi» Assuming that you have a Microsoft Windows-based system, use a 'Command Prompt' to issue command ' ipconfig/all' to determine the MAC address (aka physical) of your adapter WiFi wireless connected to a router.
After all the suggested changes, repeat the process to ensure that the changes have been saved.

1. disable the SSID broadcast is useless. Any Drivede will detect always immediately the access point because it should send signals of tag. It is trivial to force a wireless client to reveal the SSID. Thus, any hacker will be able to learn the SSID almost immediately after it has detected the presence of your router. In addition, to disable the SSID broadcast causes known problems of connection/reconnection with several wireless devices. In addition, broadcast disable SSID drains the batteries in your wireless devices as they have to actively seek a connection to your SSID to know whether here or now.
As long as your wireless device is not connected to a wireless network, it will be continues to try to connect to your SSID at regular intervals. For example, if you have your iPhone set up to connect to your home network and you pull out your iPhone permanently tries to connect to your SSID, transmitting the requests of the association on a regular basis, actually bloating on your "hidden SSID' to anyone. As transmitting something takes a lot more power then passively scanning and tuned radio waves, it drains the battery. If you need good battery life with your ever wireless devices connect them to a network with SSID broadcast disabled, or make sure that the device does not automatically connect to it!
Never disable the SSID broadcast, especially not for security reasons, because they do not offer any added safety or an advantage. 2. the MAC address filtering does nothing more. MAC addresses are always in the unencrypted part of wireless packet. Any attacker will immediately learn the MAC addresses of your wireless devices. It is absolutely useless in the means of security and cause problems as the best for you. Do not bother about the filtering of MAC addresses. It does not prevent attacks on your network as it is easily circumvented. Use WPA2 with AES and a password strong. That's all that is necessary to protect your wireless network. The rest is a joke for any aggressor and bothers you much more than the alleged assailant. If an attacker was able to decipher your network WPA2/AES the SSID of your network and MAC addresses are a free byproduct you will get during the cracking process... Tags: Linksys Routers Cisco still sells router-AP (wireless routers) for domestic use Well, do not really know where to ask Cisco router-point of access is great and fearsome performance for a domestic use, but cisco is still for sale? If so, can someone give me a link to the list of products? If you are looking for equipment of the company, so it's Cisco, but since they let go the Linksys line, it is not any kind of home router AP. Cisco has an SME but that may not be what you want too. http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/Web/solutions/Small_Business/products/wireles... Scott I have connected an ethernet cable from my router Netgear, D6300 wireless, to my DT DNX 550-015 a newly purchased HP desktop computer and I can't get the connection work with internet access. When I look at the State of the network and its connections, I find that the Ethernet connection is a "unidentified public"network"and that there is" "no access to the network. If I make the same connection to the Netgear router to my OLD HP laptop Pavilion I immediately have an ethernet internet access. Why I can't access ethernet Internet on m y new desktop computer. Daggles Hi @Daggles, Please follow the steps in Troubleshooting Wired Home networks (Windows 10). Please let me know if this information is useful to solve the problem by marking this message as 'Accept as Solution', this will help others find information easily. I live in an apartment bldg & want to know if my phone is secured with a wireless router & domestic implementation of a network. I have a laptop HP under Win 7 pro, a desktop computer using XP, & a wireless Canon printer? I use Microsoft Security Essentials for security. Can you tell me the right settings to ensure the safety of my business? And if I use the 'Public' library in documents others may see them outside my home network? Hi Tere, You can see this Microsoft article to strengthen the security of your computer and your network. Make your network more secure http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/making-your-network-more-secure Personal information and files on your wireless network can sometimes be seen by people to pick up the signal from your network. This can lead to identity theft and other acts of violence. A network security key or password can help protect your network against this type of unauthorized access wireless. Refer to this article for more information: Set up a security key for a wireless network http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/set-up-a-security-key-for-a-wireless-network Public folders are a convenient way to share files on your computer. You can share files in the public folders with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on your network. Any file or folder you put in a folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your public folders. Share files via public folders http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/share-files-using-the-public-folders Hope this information helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you. When you try to connect to my router using the IP address, he continues to ask for a password of windows security. I don't know what it is, I tried recording with every combination I can think. Can anyone help? If you do not know the password of the router, then chances are good that you will need to reset it to the factory settings. Google your model and you should be able to find the instructions. I hope this helps. Suggestions for wireless router for a big house? Hello. I have a client's family who will be in a large walk-in (but on a hill giant hill as if she had two floors) House. About 88 feet seems to be the longest distance a small room with the new cable modem. This is based on the aerial shooting of Google Maps: http://zimage.com/~ant/temp/88ftLongestDistanceFromACableModemRoom.jpg (on the right/east side is a huge Hill with trees). An old Linksys WRT54GL router will be able to manage this far distance at high speeds and stability? If this isn't the case, then what wireless routers can do? It would be nice to have options of third-party firmware like the Linksys WRT54GL routers. Rapid speed Gigabit / fast local file also, transfers between the computers in the House! 100 Mbps is slow these days! Stability and support are too important. The routers didn't need to be later also. Thank you in advance. The maximum distance of this router is 100feet provided that there is no interference between the router and the computer. If you want to transfer local gigabit speed, so it is not possible with this router because it has port etherne is only 10/100. You may need to consider getting a Wireless N gigabit router (make sure that the wired adapter of the computer also is gigabit). For wireless connectivity make sure that the computer's wireless network adapter is dual-band N adapter.

FiOS router m1424wr wireless broadband, having problems to set up I just got a used frontier fios model # m1424 wr wireless router.i broadband went to set up after download manual and everything was happening along gently until I tried my roku wireless to the router in place hang, I kept getting errors that my coaxial cable is not connected or broken , I said fine and went ahead and plugged an Ethernet cable for the router.again I got error this coaxial cable not was not connected.i was informed by the operating instructions I should or the other of these connectors plug into the socket that the telephone company had provided in the wall.i can not get my Ethernet wan or coax wan light to come on the download speed of 1 router.i GET g but unable to connect to him because the internet only I get is through a wireless adapter not the wall.i go to 192.168.1.1 it says router status STOP check your connection.it broadband also said I have 3 items connected by Ethernet (2 are active) and 4 by wireless, none of whom was followed active.i instructions very carefully and I can not understand.my first it is You can get anything from the coaxial connection and Ethernet, the phone company installed in everybodys Home.la 2nd question is how can I connect my roku to router when I can't get hooked using Ethernet or coaxial.need Hi James, Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community. According to the description of the problem you are facing problem to implement a router broadband wireless. I suggest you to return the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to configure the router. Yes, if the router has the available slot so we can connect our computer to the router with Ethernet cable. If you are unable to connect Roku with Ethernet cable, I suggest you to contact your service provider and see what they suggest. Keep us. Kind regards I use Flex mobile project type to create a stand-alone for targeting blackberry and android application both versions. Depending on the configuration of my test application works ok in blackberry tablet Simulator. As I am new to blackberry AIR application development if anyone can help me for the compilation of project I currently put for my application is good or not? When I checked the project-> properties-> Flex compiler, I found "Flex Hero" as compilation same SDK, so I'm trying to pass the value of the configuration option available, that it won't allow me to set the 'Blackberry Tablet OS SDK 0.9.1 for Adobe AIR"- any suggestions? The question above, see attached screenshot. Hey Dounibiligda, He was right to what you saw originally in your settings. the default SDK should be the flex SDK Hero. If you want to add libraries specific blackberry, you must manually import the qnx - screen.swc which will give you most of the libraries QNX which are skinned to resemble the appearance of the standard playbook. so to summarize, keep the default Flex Hero sdk and manually import the qnx - screen.swc to your project. Good luck! Some suggestions for Windows 8 Hey Microsoft, I have also some suggestions, I don't know if the developers of Microsoft (Bing AppEx) actually reads this, especially since Microsoft is the copying/cloning "sect" Apple-like behavior (according to Mary Jo Foley). And fortunately, Microsoft will add even more features to my already impressive 8-PC Windows with Windows 8.1 (blue), but there are still some improvements, I would like to suggest. 1) Windows Media Center... Well, not like a metro app, like a desktop, its variant metro application must be already existing Xbox video (Zune) to from day & TV movies of the Xbox and renamed Xbox & TV movies and have the ability to cloud-stream Live TV (for members - all the Xbox a Xbox LIVE Gold) on their Windows PC, Windows Phone and tablets. It should also include Cloud - D.V.R. (for TV) and the ability to record several cable - /-satellite at the same time, it imitates the model of Microsoft SkyDrive and has a free minimum and sustainable through supscription, it should be included as well the Windows DVD Maker features. In this way, you have the functionality of desktop applications 4 in a (Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Microsoft Zune and Windows DVD Maker). (2) a metro Windows Live Writer application. 3) Windows Essentials to come preinstalled, rename Windows Live Mail Hotmail desktop would @Hotmail.com-Microsoft-accounts contemporary names, nostalgic motive should not run out of Hotmail and a big reversal as the Outlook Express name is now online, Hotmail might be the new name for what is called Outlook Express on Windows XP (Windows Mail in Windows Vista and Windows Live Mail on Windows 7). Windows Essentials could become what is Microsoft Security Essentials and pre-installed become, updates would be more easily shipped via Windows Update in this way and would be less of a hassle for users rather than updating the entire costume.
(4) Speak & search engine Bing (or Bing voice), including the possibility of using Bing search bar on the start screen by placing it above all (similar to Google on Android) applications.
(5) Windows Store for Desktop (similar to AllMyApps) and the ability to store the date in a cloud related to your account (backportable for Windows XP, Vista and 7). This could also be a great way to know what files cause a virus and how avoid malware, Windows has more applications than Google and Apple ALL ECOSYSTEMS HANDSETS, but unfortunately more malware too, this could be countered by reports of suspected to Microsoft programs and removing these Windows store. Microsoft could create a win-win situation with AllMyApps working together, but it is a little far-fetched at present. (6) complete device backup Microsoft SkyDrive. (7) a 'Scan with Windows Defender' option similar to "scan with Microsoft Security Essentials" earlier Windows-based computers. (8) a "save for FreshPaint" option for Microsoft Paint. (9) a button from settings on the start screen. That's all I can think right now. Thank you Microsoft team who developed this beautiful O.S. Windows 8 is great as it is, but the improvement is always welcome ;-) create a PoC demo on a scenario suggested for B2C I am completely new to ATG and have read through its (trade in Oracle 11.0) user's guides A fundamental question - must create a PoC demo on a scenario suggested for B2C. What I understand so far, I should start by the scenarios of ACC module in which I can integrate events from other applications such as trade too. OR should I start building on web stores and trade and reference features store alongwith using the BCC admin content? Why it can't be used to approach, if it wasn't for ATG, we went this route in any other product for example: in Siebel. ? Thank you. Hello It's a little difficult to give advice without knowing your needs. The application of demonstration web store is a good starting point because it contains most, if not all the functions that needed an application to trade, including demonstration scenarios. You use CIM to build the and deploy the demo application. You use the VAC for design scenarios, which should be loaded in the database by the server of the process Editor. ITC is mainly used to manage the active trade for instance catalog items, promotions and target groups. These assets are then deployed on servers in target page. Dave suggestion for soil moisture sensors that compatible with NI Labview? any suggestion for soil moisture sensors that compatible with NI Labview? Help me ~ ~! Fauzan says: any suggestion for soil moisture sensors that compatible with NI Labview? Help me ~ ~! Let me address your concerns about "compatible with NI LabVIEW" by asking you a question. Which soil moisture sensors are compatible with C++? Visual Basic? Visual C? JAVA? The sensors have a layer connection between himself and the computer. Sometimes, the sensor itself is directly connected to the computer via USB. Most of the time, there is a layer of connection which will interface to the computer - USB, RS-232, GPIB, PCI - and linking the layer is an acquisition of data, or simplified for your application, an analog input Module. It is up to you to set your software to interface with these devices. Now, I don't want to insult your intelligence. I bet you already know such things. But your question reads as if you have the same false ideas about LabVIEW with many people. That, LabVIEW is somehow a direct interface with the hardware, and you just bought sensors and LabVIEW magically presents the data. No matter what some people well planned would have you believe, this is not the case. OK, so take for example this soil moisture probe. It displays 0 to 3 volts and costs $30. So now we need a way to measure the voltage and send blood pressure data to a computer. We use USB. This thing right here will do the job and then some, for only $50, and is compatible with LabVIEW. My point is - LabVIEW is compatible with the device that ultimately connects to the computer - the sensor is simply a device of voltage output.

Please repost your request in the appropriate in the Windows Server Forum. Thank you! Hi all I saw a couple of discussions concerning the performance of netbook, but I always look for further reflections on if a netbook (and suggestions for that one) might be appropriate for the application. I currently have a system of two instruments that are controlled through Windows using their respective controllers (8110 s). These two systems of taste at rates high (250 kHz on 10 channels for one and 2.5 MHz on 8 channels for each other) but the product data analyzed at a frequency of 1 Hz. For each instrument, I'm going back over the sampling period with the option to return as large spectra of variable data double-precision about 100 to 125. The amount of interaction is relatively small, because most of the acquisition parameters is defined in the software and the user usually only monitors the signals to determine the course of the experiments. Due to weight limits, I'll have to use a simple notebook to monitor and control both instruments. And because we are near the limit, it takes literally every ounce (where the netbook). Although I didn't exactly understand the topology of the network for this (in addition to the two instruments stream to the user interface, I'll also have to broadcast several variables of another instrument), I start to think that a reasonable option would be to use a laptop for the two instruments of control and collect data (whether in the RT or using the Windows operating system). In both cases, I expect two PXI controllers to do most of the heavy lifting in terms of the analysis while the host computer will be strictly collection and display data. Anyone has any ideas on this, particullarly if it is a reasonable use of netbooks or if there might be a better solution? Any ideas would be useful. Peace, Matt I have one of the older ASUS EEEpc (1000 h), comes with a version of XP Home. However, I ran XP Pro, Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 RC on this laptop without problem. Typical specifications on a netbook (I checked last) are a ~1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom CPU and 1 GB of RAM. If you are limiting the payload on the netbook there probably not a handling problem you throw. You can accelerate things by adding more (and faster or higher quality) RAM, turn off the eyecandy OS in Windows Vista/7, turning off unused hardware (bluetooth, wifi, etc.) and using a SSD hard drive... Once you have identified a likely candidate netbook, you might google search guides and reviews (Newegg and Amazon have generally reviews decent, Toms Hardware and other tech sites might have more official comments/benchmarks). Graphics processing is usually where these laptops hurt, but all-in-all, they are surprisingly capable machines. Good luck!
