Wifi Modem not Work

1. when the unit is powered on, hold down its reset button for 30 seconds
2. while still holding down the reset button, unplug the router from power and hold for an additional 30 seconds
3. still holding down the reset button, turn on power to the router again and hold for 30 more seconds

After this process (a total of 90 seconds) is complete, your router should be restored to its factory default state. Note that your particular router may not require the full 30-30-30 procedure. For example, some routers can at times be hard reset after only 10 seconds and without power cycling.

Note that the router/modem router will forget everything incl internet settings, your wifi ssid, forwarded ports, wip or wpa passcodes/phrases and prolly turn off wifi and wont connect to internet!

the gateway it come with routher wifi your need to change the new gateway for example when u open 192.168.1.1 for the modem

and another gateway for router only, if it does not work then RMA it which it is cover with serial numbeYou’ll have to manually set it up again via an ethernet cable and turn on its wifi

After the reset the wifi network wont show!
Just take your lappy to the router, connect both using the ethernet cable and open your browser and in the address bar, type 192.168.11.1 You’ll get the router page. Enter user as admin and press enter!

Latest Intel’s i-watering Offer

We are luking few years about the processors also known as Core i3, i5 and i7. The raw power that each core had was like nothing ever seen before. The i3, i5 and i7 processors were created to reach out to all computer users. The i3 covered the average internet user; the power allowed a lag free experience when browsing the internet. Intel’s i5 gave users not only what the i3 had to offer, but allowed people to play PC games as well. Then we have the i7, Intel’s strongest chip. The i7 is the performance model and gives users unbelievable power in their system. Each Nehalem Microarchitecture processor came with the ability to run 3D games, using the integrated graphics. Laptops and desktops could now eliminate the need for a GPU for light gaming.

Lately, you may have heard some news about the new Ivy Bridge processors, also known as the Third Generation Core i3, i5 and i7 Processors, by Intel. In this article I will be discussing the new features of the Ivy processors, as well as how Intel came this far in only three generations of processors.

The Ivy processors use the standard LGA 1155 socket, that allows most users to upgrade their old i3, i5 or i7 processor without buying a new motherboard. Amazingly, the 3rd Generation processors run at 3.0 GHz or above; that’s a 5% to 15% increase over the old Sandy Bridge, and that is just at a normal clock rate! This massive increase in speed gives multitasking a whole new meaning. No need to worry if you can run a security scan, play a game and have the internet running all at the same time. Not only has the CPU received an upgraded clock speed but so has the GPU. On all of the Ivy Bridge processors the normal GPU clock rate runs around 650 MHz; a 20% to 50% increase over the Sandy Bridge. According to Cnet.com, Intel hit the nail on the head with these new integrated graphics. This plays a big part mostly in laptops because a casual user doesn’t have to spend extra money for a gamer’s graphics card.

When looking at which processor might suit you best there are two types of models: Performance and Mainstream. If you are on a desktop the i7 is the only Ivy processor that is offered on the performance branch. Depending on how you look at it this may be a pro or con. The i7 has always been known for its outstanding power. On the mobile processors the performance branch is still only offered with the i7, but Intel does have plans for the i7 to extend into the mainstream branch.

Ivy processors have many new features and performance tweaks which make them the best yet. In my option, these are some of the top new features found in all three Cores:

Tri-Gate Transistor Technology – Enable the processor to switch into “3D” gaming while using 50% less power consumption then the Sandy Bridge.
PCI Express 3.0 Support.
Massive decrease in Power Usage and Battery Life – Core i7-3770T (Desktop) only uses 45W.
Improved Graphics – Play games such as Diablo 3 at Medium-Low settings.
Compatible with Sandy Bridge – Supports H61, H67, P67 and Z68 chipsets.
Overclock works better than before – Core i7-3770K (Desktop) can be overclocked from 3.5 GHz to 4.6GHz.
Use it in a laptop – Intel has not forgotten about how many users/gamers have switched from the Desktop to a laptop.

Back in April 2010 Intel would have never thought how big these Nehalem Microarchitecture processors would be. In my option these processors have been the best the world has ever seen. Computers are now reaching close to 5 GHz using the new Intel chips. Computer games have never looked any better. Intel has added never before seen items into the new i3s, i5s and i7s such as Hyper-Threading, integrated graphics, L3 cache, PCI and PCI-E integration, and so much more. And that is only what is here now. There is much more to come in the future.

Backup your boot hard drive

If you ever tried to boot your hardisk today iam tell you how to boot hard drive? Whether you try running Repair Console or running emergency start floppies, nothing you do can get you in. To all intents and purposes, you have lost everything on your C: drive. Even if you had the forethought to backup your data to a second hard drive or some other media you will still have to reformat the disc and reinstall Windows, then all your programs. This can take days, assuming you can even find your original installation discs. I had this happen recently; (see Total Meltdown!!!) so I made sure it would never happen again. The answer is to create an image of your C: drive on another drive. My second drive was only 15 GB; nowhere near big enough for the job, so I had to buy a new drive. Having looked at the options I went for a Seagate 320 GB external drive at £79. My data and time are worth more than that, but cheaper, smaller options are available. As a rough guide, the drive needs to be half the size of the C: drive, but as the price of smaller drives is not much less than the Seagate, it is worth the extra for future-proofing: twenty years ago a 10MB disc seemed excessive!

There are several programs around to create disc images and I am indebted to linderman (see link above) for his advice. In the end I opted to spend my money on the Seagate and go for the freeware program Drive Image, available from Runtime.
Note: DriveImage XML only runs under Windows XP Home, XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 only. The program will backup, image and restore drives formatted with FAT 12, 16, 32 and NTFS.

The first step is to run the downloaded program dixmlsetup.exe. This creates an icon on the desktop for dixml.exe. Running this program produces the following screen:

Select Backup and select the drive you want to back up.

Next, select the destination for your image, making sure it’s on a different drive. In this example I’ve used my Seagate external drive. The target partition must be greater or equal in size to the original source partition. For details of how to format a disc see How to format a Hard Drive partition in Windows XP

Open the browser folder to navigate to your destinaton.

When you have selected your destination press OK.
When Drive Image finishes, click on Finish and that’s it.

The next step is to make sure you can restore your image. There are several ways to do this but I used BARTPE available from nu2
You will also need the DriveImage_XML.cab file. This can be downloaded from the same site as the Drive Image file at Runtime. by clicking on the Create bootable CD-ROM link

First, unless you have an installation disc with SP2 included, you will need to create a slipstreamed disc. Instructions for doing this can be found here

Run the downloaded pebuilder3110a.zip file and save the extracted files in a folder of your choice. From that folder run the file pebuilder.exe.

In Source, enter the address for your installation files. This could be your installation disc if it contains SP2 or, as in the example shown above, the slipstreamed version.
In Custom include the Drive Image XML folder (this is optional) then click on Plugins

Select the entry for DriveImage XML
Close this window then select Burn to CD/DVD and select your burner in Device.
Next, click on Build and PE Builder will create a bootable CD.

If you ever need to use this disc, start your machine and edit your BIOS. For most systems this means pressing the Delete button during startup. If you are unsure, see How to enter the BIOS setup. When in BIOS, select Advanced BIOS Features. Change the first startup device from floppy to CDROM. Click F10 and press enter. Your machine should then boot from the CD.

Note: If you are not using an Award BIOS, check your motherboard manual for the correct instructions for changing BIOS settings.

Where the normal Start button appears in Windows you will now see GO. If the reason you are having to restore is because of problems with your hard drive, you will first have to format the drive. To do that, select Command Prompt (CMD)

At the command prompt type format c: and follow the on-screen instructions, selecting NTFS as the file system. Make sure that you create a primary partition and that this partition is set to active.

When the format is complete, click on GO again and select Programs then select DriveImage XML

Select Restore then click on Next and navigate to where you saved your disc image.

Click Next and your C: drive will restored to it’s previous state.
Restart your machine, go back into Edit BIOS, and change the boot order back to what it was. Your machine should now start up Windows with all your programs intact.

Keyboard Tips and Tricks

When using Facebook,wondering how to use symbols to make new post…then i tried Some here it is.

To create these symbols, HOLD the Alt Key + use the Calculator Numeric Pad.
Now just type the number next to the symbol you want on the numeric pad, then release the Alt Key and the symbol will appear!

For Example: Alt Key + Calculator Number = Symbol.

To create the ® symbol Alt + 0174 = ®

Alt Key + Number = Symbol

130 = é [accent over e ]
0176 = ° [degrees for Temperature]
0169 = © [Copyright]
0174 = ® [Registered Trademark]
0153 = ™ [Trade Mark]
155 = ¢ [cent sign]
156 = £ [Pound Sterling]
0165 = ¥ [Japanese Yen sign]
0128 = € [Euro symbol]
0190 = ¾
171 = ½
172 = ¼
21 = §
144 = É [Capitalised accent over E]
241 = ±
246 = ÷
174 = «
175 = »
225 = ß
135 = ç
137 = ë
132 = ä
160 = á
133 = à
136 = ê
15 = ?
170 = ¬
159 = ƒ
146 = Æ
145 = æ
129 = ü
253 = ² [Square sign]
350 = ^
352 = `
382 = ~
166 = ª
254 = ?
249 = ?
152 = ÿ
142 = Ä
154 = Ü
230 = µ
0134 = † [dagger sign]
20 = ¶
195 = ?
194 = ?
168 = ¿
197 = ?
0179 = ³ [cubic sign]
0161 = ¡

These are just some of the more commonly used symbols.

It should also be noted that with some keyboards these symbols may differ; if this happens, experiment, as we did and you will ‘discover’ a completely new world of symbols.

For those who need to input a lot of foreign texts (eg., language students writing papers), the Microsoft® International Keyboard Layout is a good alternative to the traditional “Alt” codes.

How to speed up the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP

There Are many ways to cleanup a disk in window XP.Cleaning out the junk files on your PC is something you should do on a regular basis. Microsoft has included a file cleaning utility in Windows, and it’s called Disk Cleanup. Running Disk Cleanup will often make your system a little snappier and you can also free up a large amount of used disk space.

The Disk Cleanup Tool is part of Windows® XP; it helps free up valuable space on a Hard Disc Drive, by searching it for files that can be safely deleted, as they are probably no longer necessary.

A user may choose to delete some or all of the files suggested by the tool. Options are provided for cleaning up Windows components and installed programs.

The fastest way to launch Disk Cleanup is to press the Windows® log key + R.
(Alternatively; Click Start > Run; type cleanmgr > OK.)

There are other methods to launch the Disk Cleanup tool, such as:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.

Open Windows Explorer or My Computer; Right Click the Hard Disc Drive that needs to have space freed up or ‘cleaned’; Click Properties > General Tab > Disk Cleanup.

When there is more than one partition on the Hard Disc Drive in the computer, the following dialog box opens, in order to select the drive that is to have the unnecessary files cleaned:

One of the settings in Disk Cleanup will show how much free space will gained if the option Compress Old Files is selected. (This option will compress files that have not been accessed recently.)

Compressing files will recover Disc space; however, they can still be used at any time in the future without adverse effects to the Drive or Computer.

No files are deleted, as they are “compressed” at different rates, the displayed amount of Disc Space to be gained is only approximate.

An Options button permits the user to specify the number of days to wait before Disk Cleanup compresses an unused file.

Clicking on the Options button (seen in the image above), will display the following dialog box:

This particular option is very useful, especially when running low on available disk space.
It should be noted, in order for Disk Cleanup to calculate the disk space to be freed; a time penalty will apply, as the utility will take time to display the dialog box with the various options (and respective space gains) that may be selected.
Another fact, unfortunately is, Disk Cleanup may occasionally stop responding entirely during this phase; should this occur it will be necessary to terminate the utility using the Task Manager.

To seriously speed things up; simply, ignore the option to “Compress Old Files”, and download the attached zipped file; unzip it; Double-Click, to execute, and install it..

The unzipped batch file, named NoCompressCleanup.bat, exports the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerVolumeCachesCompress old filesfrom your Registry; saves it under the CompressOldFilesSetting.reg in the Program Drive (usually drive C:).
The batch file then deletes this key from the C: Drive Registry.

Utilising this batch file will produce speedier executions of the Disk Cleanup Tool.
To revert back to the original functionality to include the “Compress Old Files Option”, with this Tool; simply locate the CompressOldFilesSetting.reg file in the C: Drive; Double-click on it.
This action will instantly merge its settings to the Registry; thus, readily restoring the option to Compress Old Files when running Disk Cleanup.
