Some Internet Solutions

What if my Wi-Fi router is not working? Most people ask this question very often due to their slow internet and annoying speed. At the end of the day, a Wi-Fi router is a device that can have some issues but it`s not a sign to worry about. At times it is very easy to sort out the issue and sometimes it takes lots of efforts. But the first step is always about detecting the problem that is creating an issue for you.

Wi-Fi routers are available in different colors, sizes and technologies and normally the Wi-Fi routers are provided by the internet supplier. Apart from different styles and sizes, all of them share almost same issues. Following are some of the most commonly observed problems in routers and their simple remedies as well. Have a look:

1. Wi-Fi with extreme slow speed:

The most common problem that people observe is the problem of slow internet, internet suddenly loses all speed and becomes steady. The main reason for the problem is the lack of signals from the internet supplier or maybe your device is not able to get the signals. Even in the peak hours, people complaint to have slow internet. Your neighbor’s Wi-Fi can also interrupt your signals as well. To avoid this clash, you can change your channel range or you could turn off your router for some time and then restart it.

2. Gaming can cause connectivity issues:

If you are addicted to games then you may often face an issue in your internet connectivity. Online games are extremely attractive for the addicts. As a result of this, your internet becomes congested and creates problems for you. But as a matter of fact, this is not a big thing to worry about. The simple solution is to arrange a new router for gaming purpose and a separate one should be used for other internet stuff.

3. Overheating of your Router:

Another big issue that people face is the issue of overheating. It is a fact that once people install the router at their place, they stop taking care of the router that leads to the short lifespan of the router. Excessive use of the router can heat it up and can cause issues for you. So the best remedy is to take proper care of your router and avoid excessive use of it. Don’t forget to turn it off after every 2–3 hours.

Concluding the above:

All of the above-mentioned issues are those which are mostly observed and just by taking small precautions you can have a safe and speedy internet connection. Another important thing is to reboot the router time to time, which enhances its efficiency. At the end of the day, it is an equipment and it can have issues with it but most of them can be resolved if you know some of the basics. Last but not the least, you should check your router properly at the time of delivery just to check any damaged part or anything like that.

The Specialty of Crossover Cables

Crossover cables are used to connect two Ethernet cables with each other, they were specially created for the host to host situations.

Standard cables have an identical sequence of colored wires on each end. Crossover cables have the first and third wires (counting from left to right) crossed, and the second and sixth wires crossed

A good Ethernet crossover cable will be specially marked to distinguish it from straight through ones. Many are red in color and also feature the name “crossover” stamped on its packaging and wire casing. Crossover cables were commonly used by Information Technology (IT) professionals in the 1990s and 2000s as the popular forms of Ethernet at that time did not support direct cable connections between hosts. Both the original and Fast Ethernet standards were designed to use specific wires for both the transmit and receive signals.

These standards required the two endpoints to communicate through an intermediate device to avoid conflicts from trying to use the same wires for both transmit and receive. A feature of Ethernet called MDI-X provides the necessary auto-detection support to prevent these signal conflicts.

This feature allows the Ethernet interface to automatically determine which signaling convention the device on the other end of the cable expects and negotiates use of the transmit and receive wires accordingly.Note that only one end of a connection needs to support auto-detection for this feature to work.

Most home broadband routers (even older models) incorporated MDI-X support on their Ethernet interfaces. Gigabit Ethernet also adopted MDI-X as a standard. In summary, crossover cables are only needed when connecting two Ethernet client devices where neither is configured for Gigabit Ethernet. Modern Ethernet devices now automatically detect the use of crossover cables and work with them seamlessly. Crossover cables should only be used for direct network connections.

For the reason described above, attempting to connect a computer to an old router or network switch with a crossover cable instead of a normal cable can prevent the link from functioning. These cables can be specially purchased through various electronics outlets. Hobbyists and some IT professionals may prefer to make their own crossover cables instead.

Fire test for communication cable is the need of the hour

With the advent of technology, our lifestyle has changed dramatically. We have changed our workplace and living patterns. We are living a much more comfortable life with the technology gadgets but this gadget which have made of life easy also possess the tendency to take our lives. With our new state of the art buildings equipped with new breathtaking technologies, we are more prone to fatal fire outbreaks. Our buildings are webbed with commination cables which can turn into a fire conductor if proper measures are not taken into consideration by the manufacturers.

There are cable producers who are manufacturing communications cable that does not pass fire and life-safety building codes and yet they label it with all the marketing you need on the proper testified cables.

The communication cables are tested in Steiner Tunnel, in which cables are tested by being subjected to fire. A cable earns the plenum rating by passing specific flame-spread and smoke-generation requirements in a Steiner Tunnel. Cables are subjected to a tunnel and fire is then initiated at one end and then technicians measure how far does the fire reach in the cable.
First fire onset is measured by the control cable whose manufacture is known to be proper and safe and then a cable without UL approved holograph label was subjected to fire which burnt rapidly and produced dense smoke. So when you are installing the cables in your building make sure you are using the right UL approved cables which are designed to withstand fire outbreaks.

A new version of Symatavision is being released and it is considered as a timing analysis solution which is for embedded software’s and it is designed specially by keeping in mind the time-critical ventures.

The CEO of Luxoft said “Symtavision 4.0 has a new analysis option at a functional level as well as updated features for the analysis of Ethernet networks. Both new features will significantly improve timing analysis of automotive control units, networks and distributed systems in general, the vendor promises.”

Moreover, it includes a new visualization capability in its SymTA/S toolset which is for data flow. Which is ideal for a fast running software. Apart from that, it has numerous filters which are designed so the software could work efficiently.

The CEO added “Symtavision 4.0 also includes extensions to the Ethernet network timing analyses in SymTA/S. Buffer occupancy in Ethernet switches can now be undertaken at the buffer level, allowing the validation of switch memory and thereby reducing the risk of dropped frames due to buffer overflows. This is supported by both simulation (system distribution) analysis and worst-case analysis. The addition of end-to-end jitter metrics provide an early hint as to the real-time capability of individual messages and helps to identify potential data losses at the receiver. Worst-case latency analysis has also been extended to cover Ethernet AVB and support is now provided for Autosar 4.2 Ethernet models, including SOME/IP. For CAN networks, a new dashboard is available that provides a quick overview of the status of a network.To support the automated testing of automotive ECUs and networks (CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet), both the SymTA/S TraceAnalyzer tools in Symtavision 4.0 offer the advanced comparison of actual versus target behavior, facilitating fast verification of measurements against the expected behavior from the model.”

So basically it is an outstanding innovation in the field of networking and its design is simply phenomenal.

Broadband is making a comeback said CEO of Adtran

In the ever-growing field of telecommunication and networking, it’s hard to come up with the developing technologies. You have to work hard to stay in the race. The CEO of Adtran is very optimistic about the hardcore comeback of broadband in the market. In an interview, Tom Stanton said: “Broadband is getting hot again, and it’s going to be made even hotter by the advent of 5G wireless and actually made easier to deploy by the arrival of virtualization.”

In annual briefing event of Adtran in Huntsville Stanton was of the view that with the immense increase in the access speed it will create more and more and more opportunities for the clients to access the internet at really high speed. He further added, “the arrival of 5G and millimeter wave technology will push the industry toward wireless as the final connection, but all of that traffic will mostly be riding fiber or souped-up copper through the network.”

“If you are going to run a network that’s got billions of different end connections instead of tens of millions, fundamentally you have to do things differently. Companies such as Amazon Web Services Inc. and Google have figured out how to handle billions of users and you are seeing the carriers follow through that same thought process.”

So bottom line, to prosper you have to adapt to the ever-changing tech environment. So to bring back the broadband boom Stanton can use the same software he develops to support any physical access technology rather than working separately on each network element.

How to Make Category5/Cat5e 350 MHz or Category6/Cat6 550 MHz Patch Cable

Before we start making a cat5e/Cat6 patch cable, need to cut a standard length of Cat5e/Cat6 cable. After cutting the length you should make sure to measurement. Nothing is worse than the patch cable you just built being an inch too short for your application. After cutting the wanted length we will start building our patch cable by shedding back about 1 inch of the jacket

After striping makes sure that the depth of your stripper is set deep enough to cut the jacket but not so deep that it nicks the conductors of the cable. If you do groove the conductors while shedding the cable, the cable may work fine at first, but after some time may be the conductors will break.
                  

 Now we have the shielded jacket we'll want to separate and bend the pairs. We'll start by pushing the first pair and the last pair to their other sides (Orange to the left side and Brown to the right side). Untwist these pairs of cat5e/cat6 plenum cable any further than you've shielded the jacket. Now we'll split the green pair. Pull the white/green conductors to the opposite sides. And the blue pair in the middle.  Untwist the blue and white/blue conductor in against sides.

Note: Usually, it would be unmentionable to untwist the Cat5e/Cat6 pairs, not including when building patch cables. It would be almost unmanageable to pull out the conductors into the correct connector locations deprived of untwisting.

 

Now that we've parted and straightened the pairs we want to place the conductors in the suitable order according to which cabling standard you are spending. For this case, we will be cabling via the 568-B normal (most common in patch cables). Consult the pin-out for the correct color codes. After you have the wires settled, place them strongly together as shown in the picture. Once this is done, confirm that the cables are still in the accurate order and continue to next step. 

Now we need to slim the electrodes down to fit into the RJ45 connector. While adornment, make sure you make a nice clean cut at a 90-grade angle around 1/2 of an inch from the end of the cover. If you fail to make a cut, some of the electrodes may not reach the connector associates. If you cut the electrodes too small, again they will not make communication. If you leave the electrodes too long, when crinkling the connector, the covering will not be spellbound leaving the rinsing on the electrodes. This is not a good condition! For proper garnish, hold the wires securely just at the end of the cover as shown in the picture. Be assured to keep the electrodes in the right order.
                 

Our Cat5e patch cable is almost done. Although still holding the cable definitely, we now want to place the rods into their right location in the RJ45 Cat5e/cat6 Linked Connector.  Hold the RJ45 linked plug with the links facing up and prudently pullout the conductors in their correct locations. Apply a modest quantity of force in order to correctly seat the cables against the links in the connector. When the cables have been correctly put into the RJ45 linked connector, detect the tip. As shown in the picture to the left you must be able to see the end of each electrode, representative that the rods were fully injected. Also, take the remainder of the colors. All white conductors should be on the top and all the colored conductors on the bottom. 

Many customers have testified that they find Cat5e/cat6 Connectors with load bars much relaxed to use during the close process. The load bar is used to bring into line the conductors into the proper place and hold them in place during addition.

Sensibly insert the get-together which you have just completed into a linked crumpling tool, taking care to confirm the conductors stay fully injected. When crumpling the connector, use the full stroke of the crumple tool so that the contacts correctly "bite" into the rods.  After you have finalized the crimp, take time to see at the connector and confirm all the pins were crumpled and that they made good contact with the rods. 

If you are structuring a straight through Cat5e/cat6 patch cable, terminate the opposed end by recapping this process from the first step. If this will be a cat 5/ cat6 cusp cables, return the first step and continue; however, terminate the second end of the cable using the cabling system that you didn’t use for the first end.  Terminating one finish with 568-B and the second one with 568-A makes a crossover wire. If it is a straight through wire you are making, simply use the same cabling arrangement for both ends. 

That's it!  Use a sample to test for steadiness and your DIY Cat5/Cat6 patch cable is completed.

Note: If the cat6/cat5e plenum cable does not test positive for continuity cut the connector off and start over, or buy one of our pre-made or custom length patch cords.
