Routers, Adapters & Devices
All routers, adapters and networking devices must be properly
setup before attempting to establishing your wireless network.
Setting up your hardware can sometimes be as difficult (or more
difficult) than setting your VCR, DVD player, Surround Sound or
TIVO...especially if you purchase your network devices from
different manufacturers.
Sometimes instructions do not use the same terminology, which can
be confusing.
Also, each network devices different and may have unique features
and options that must be set properly to allow communication to your
computer and other devices.
Computers & Accessories
Physical connection of all computers and accessories can be
simple enough - just plug in each wire in it's correct location -
but virtual connection of each can be a hassle if you're not
familiar with computer networking: Internet Protocol (IP)
Addressing, Subnet Masking, MAC Addressing, etc.
Don't burden yourself with trying to figure out this
stuff, you've got better things to do. We'll struggle with it so
you won't need to.
Configuring Wireless Network for Security, Speed, Efficiency
While a wireless connection has its advantages, if its not
configured correctly it can cause new computer problems for you.
Contrary to popular assumption, a wire connection is NOT an
invisible wire or beam that connects all your computers, accessories
and devices. It is a field - a bubble - that expands in an area.
Imagine a pond... now imagine dropping a stone in that pond, which
causes a ripple to expand all around until it disappears. This is
the way a wireless network transmits it's signal, and any device in
your network's area that can "see" the signal can "read" your
information.
- We make sure your network is configured to restrict access to
any other wireless devices in your area (neighbors' computers,
laptops, blackberries, etc.) by setting WPA Algorithms & Keys.
- We make sure your wireless devices are positioned to receive
the strongest signal from from your network, so you're not wasting
signal.
- And we make sure your devices are setup to best understand your
signal for maximum speed.
