A device to receive and transfer signals, the modem is also a door and the wall. A role not only convert digital signals, modems today are equipped with tools set security mode to protect the signal and the user’s computer networks. In addition, as well as all other devices, the modem also has its useful life. What matters is who can use effectively and properly, to maximize its capabilities.
STORAGE AND USE REASONABLE
Prior to the establishment concerned parameters, configured to carry out long-term use, you should choose a modem form satisfactory, consistent with the needs and circumstances, as is support for simultaneous broadcasting wi -fi or not. To the modem without problems encountered during use because of external conditions, you should choose a cool place to place.
Many people are wrong to throw the modem to a seat, do not care whether there was damp. You really should play a small shelf on the wall to set the modem, as necessary, adjust the signal source, or disconnect power jack for the equipment when not in use. Also, occasionally, you should also use electric fans to cool the equipment, in order to avoid unwanted damage.
ESTABLISHMENT OF SECURITY PROTECTION FOR NETWORK SIGNALS AND MODEM
There are two things to do before using the modem is change the default password and disable access to the admin page via the Internet. The change password proceed to access the administration page modem is necessary, although you can forget. Modem and the router is a device usually a one-time configuration can be used long term. Even if I forget my password, simply reset the original configuration of the production is finished.
Meanwhile, the disabled access the administration page via Intenet help you protect your modem in any case. Using SSH connection will help secure information, whenever you want to adjust the modem. In fact, few people conducting this operation.
To conduct changed the administrator password, you log in with default information. Open a browser and type in the address http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
Next, you find the customization options that equipment vendors have built. If you do not understand well the parameters contained in any linked account login, please find links containing the word “password”, “security”, or maybe a “remote administration”, etc. …
Once you find a link containing information management, change the default password, then disable remote access. Any modem which also has two addresses: local address (the address 192.168.0.1)) and the external address (the address can access ip2location.com to know.) address “local” (local) for modem communicate with and address “foreign” (external) used to communicate with other computers across the global network. Once you disable remote access modem, enter the address you see, there is no table of modem communication.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
The newer modems usually for outstanding quality. If your modem has a “too expensive”, a slow network “turtle” than before, perhaps it is time to consider a new shop (currently use DOCSIS 2.0 standard than before).
One of the solutions are many people recommend that you upgrade new firmware for the device, in the case is supported by the manufacturer. On Windows, go to Start> Run , type cmd, type ipconfig / all . After searching the LAN IP address, you control access to the site of the modem, if you have mastered the administrator password.
Next, you proceed to check the modem’s firmware version and compare it with the latest readings of the manufacturer. If a firmware upgrade, you download from the manufacturer’s site, then upgrade as instructed. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what you get. Thanks to the new firmware, the modem will maintain a more stable state, fix errors such as dropouts.
INTERMEDIATE USING DNS
Not the DNS server of your network service provider which is also good for speed. Even in the case of a problem, users could lose network signal. DNS services are intermediate solutions you should consider. In addition to OpenDNS, a veteran opponent, recent global Internet users also eagerly welcomed Google DNS, IP is very easy to remember series of numbers.
Both Google and OpenDNS DNS helps users access to a DNS server closer, so that your connection speed is significantly improved, in addition we also help the faithful to avoid the network’s censorship regime ISP.
Google to use OpenDNS and the DNS, on Windows, you just go to Control Panel> Network Connections> right click Local Area Connection icon and select the Internet Protocol in the list and enter the address of the OpenDNS DNS server or DNS Google.
MODEM FOR ESTABLISHING SECURITY FOR WIRELESS SIGNALS FOR WI-FI
With modem support wireless broadcasting, the establishment of the security regime is extremely important . Just like when you set up for normal modem, the first thing you need to conduct a default password of modems. Next, to conduct wireless encryption to prevent others from unauthorized access, influence and quality of network resources.
After logging into the administration page modem, you access the link to install the wireless network configuration ( wireless settings).
Change the default SSID name to the name you want. Do not leave the default name. Then, proceed to encrypt the wireless wave. There are a lot of debate surrounding the standard WEP and WPA, what is the optimal choice. Most people agree that WEP vulnerable to “raiding” than WPA.
If you choose the standard 64-bit encryption, you need a minimum of 5 characters encoding, while the standard 128-bit, you need to set a password 10 characters
