How to Change Your Wireless Router Default/Admin Password

noreply@blogger.com (Romey's Blogs) — Sun, 13 May 2018 21:15:00 +0000

It is the right time to change default admin password before you face any hacking problem

Hackers have been hacking wireless networks for a long time, but they don't even need to hack your wireless if you never changed your wireless router's admin password from its default value.

Here Are The Steps:

If you have completely lost the password that you set and need to set the router back to its factory default password, perform the following steps:

Below are general instructions only. Directions vary by make and model of router. Please consult your router's operating manual before performing any kind of reset procedure, and always follow proper safety precautions indicated in your router's documentation.

PLEASE NOTE: The first step in this process will wipe out all of your router's configuration settings and set them back to their out-of-the-box factory defaults. You will have to change all your router's settings such as your wireless network SSID, password, encryption settings, etc, after performing this step.

1. Press And Hold The Reset Button On The Back Of Your Wireless Router
You will probably have to hold the reset button from 10 to 30 seconds depending on your brand of router. If you hold it for too short a time it will simply reset the router but won't revert back to its factory default settings. On some routers, you may have to use a pin or thumbtack to press the button if it is recessed inside the router.

2. Connect a Computer to One of Your router's Ethernet ports
Just not the one that says WAN. Most routers have a web browser-accessible administrator page that you must log in to in order to access the router's configuration settings. Some routers disable administration via wireless so you will need to ensure that you are connected to the router via an Ethernet cable before attempting to access the router's admin/configuration page.

3. In The Browser Address Bar, Enter The IP Address Of Your Router's Administration Interface
Most routers have what is called a non-routable internal IP address such as 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1. This is an internal address that cannot be accessed from the internet.

Here are the standard admin interface addresses used by some of the more popular wireless routers manufactures. You may have to consult your specific router's manual for the correct address or check a site such as RouterIPaddress.com. The following list is some of the default IP addresses based on my research and may or may not be accurate for your specific make or model:

Apple - 10.0.1.1
ASUS - 192.168.1.1
Belkin - 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1
Buffalo - 192.168.11.1
DLink - 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1
Linksys - 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
Netgear - 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.227

4. Enter The Default Administrator Login Name (Usually "Admin") Followed By The Default Administrator Password
You can locate the default admin name and password for your specific router by checking the manufacturer's website or by Googling "Default Admin Password" followed by your router's brand name and model.

5. Click On the "Admin" Page From Your Router's Configuration Page and Create a Strong Password
Be sure you enter a strong complex password for your router's admin password. If you ever lose this password you will have to repeat the steps above.

If you didn't lose your router password but just don't know how to change it, you can skip steps 1 and 2 and enter the admin username and password that you have into step 4. This will allow you to change your wireless router's password without wiping out all your other router's settings.

What is GPS, and How to update map

noreply@blogger.com (Romey's Blogs) — Sun, 13 May 2018 20:34:00 +0000

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of approximately 30 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location.
The location accuracy is anywhere from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment. Accuracy can be pinpointed to within one (1) meter with special military-approved equipment.
GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, with no subscription fees or setup charges.
GPS equipment is widely used in science and has now become sufficiently low-cost so that almost anyone can own a GPS receiver.

Update Map:

Updating the maps on your GPS device used to be a complete pain in the butt. You'd have to order your update on CD, DVD, or SD card and wait for it to arrive in the mail. These days, fresh map data is often only a download away, but that doesn't make it any less of a pain in the butt. Case in point: grabbing Garmin's maps required no fewer than three software downloads and about an hour of waiting for the 2GB of map data to download and install. It can be a bitter pill to swallow, but it's a price we'd gladly pay to make sure that we actually get where we're trying to go.

Of course, map updates usually aren't free, but nearly all of the major GPS device manufacturers are starting to offer devices with free lifetime map updates. Additionally, most new GPS devices feature some sort of map guarantee that entitles users to one update to the newest map data within the first 30 days of ownership, free of charge. So, there's really no excuse to put up with outdated maps, even if you've purchased an older GPS unit.
