Does WEP Affect Performance?

Hey guys. I'm going to implent WEP keys on my Linksys router because some unknown person is taking up my bandwith. I was just wondering if using a WEP affect wireless performance. What I mean is after I put the key on my wireless computer, will performance be downgraded because it has more security?

Yo Castor
i dont actually agrees with the fact where it says - "less strength and connection " . its contradicting the fact as data packets with High Security Encryption might lost somewhere in the midway ! (quite philosophically!!).
and if u see , you will get to see free flowing of packets and connection signals with unsecured networks . (Until , some Mowon jacks it up and Use it for as a Free HotSpot Internet Service ! sighs !)
well , dats how my thoughts about it .

  • Multi value attribute in IB - how does it affect system (crm 4.0)

    Hi,
    Is there any limitation when using Multi value attribute in set type which is used for Individual object in IB?
    I have succeed in implementation of Multi value variable feature in CRM 4.0 . this change is irreversible so I wish to know what are the _risks moving it to production.
    (We use IB VERY heavily with single value attributes)
    Does it affect performance? other features?
    Thanks
    Rachel

    hi there
    due to the pain of sending the single value attribute in production,we usually try create multi value attribute so that multidimensional usefulness takes place.
    i really don see any limitation and risk sending those in production,infact it will serve u a good cause there
    just procede with that,so far we havent observed any defect doing that in projects
    best regards

  • Cool'n'Quiet affecting performance?

    Hello,
    I noted something in my K9A2 Platinum and AMD Phenom 9950.
    First of all I had it oced to 2.7 (x13.5) and Cool'n'Quiet enabled.
    Well, due to a bug in Everest 5.02 sensor driver, I can't read correctly the CPU clock because this program show even speed like 700 MHz when I'm doing heavy task. As I thought it was impossible, I ran CPU-Z and this showed the correct values (1300 MHz when idle and 2700 when doing heavy tasks).
    The issue is the following: Today I was converting an .avi video to DVD using a program that is optimized to use only two cores. The strange thing I noted is that processor was at 1300 MHz and only few times it changed to 2700 MHz. However voltage was at 1.3 all the time until conversion finished. Of course that if I disable CnQ or I choose another energy plan, speed is 2700 even when idle.
    This program (ConvertxtoDVD) used about 50% of my processor.
    Does CnQ affect performance? I thought that a conversion like that is a heavy task and it can benefit from 2700 MHz instead 1300 MHz, or CnQ is smart enough to know when an app. benefit or not from a higher speed?
    Thanks!
    I want to say than one of the better thing of MSI is its forum 

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Based on the results I can confirm that CnQ affect performance, quite disappointing. I don't know the difference between the CnQ of Athlon 64 X2 vs. Phenom, but in Athlon the processor change speed to its maximum  immediately when I started doing heavy tasks instead of Phenom changing its speed to max only when 4 cores are being used and only some times when using less than 4 cores.
    Here're results:
    With CnQ ENABLED:
    CPU Score   3347
    CPU1 - Red Valley   1,160 FPS      CPU Tests
    CPU2 - Red Valley   1,545 FPS      CPU Tests
    With CnQ DISABLED:
    CPU Score   3622
    CPU1 - Red Valley   1,209 FPS      CPU Tests
    CPU2 - Red Valley   1,737 FPS      CPU Tests
    What do you think? Is a mobo, CPU problem or a performance hit like this is normal?
    Quote from: Aramus8 on 14-July-09, 05:55:06
    On some programs you will get a performance hit with Cool & Quiet enabled.  Run 3DMark06 with it on and then with it off and you will see the performance hit.  Most programs you will never notice.

  • Does daisy-chaining a Belkin Mac-compatible hub affect performance?

    I've had a 7-port Belkin hub plugged into my 13" Macbook and before that a 15" Powerbook for several years and have been pretty satisfied with it. I'd like to get a new one and connect it to the original (or vice-versa). Does anyone know if doing that would affect performance of any kind? (Upload times, wireless mouse interference, etc.?) Belkin doesn't seem to have anyone who knows much--the rep I talked to didn't even know Belkin made a hub that works with Mac.
    Thanks for any information anyone has.

    That makes sense. My old hub is 2.0, so it should work with the new one I want, which is also 2.0.
    I don't know how much power I might ever be using at one time. have a wired keyboard and wireless or USB mice, and at times I probably download something into my printer buffer while at the same time backing up to an external hard drive or flash stick. But I don't think I'd ever be doing more than that, and the present 7-port hub seems to have no problem handling jobs requiring 4 ports at once.
    I really just wanted the second hub because the present one is at the back of the desk behind the dictionary (cord is too short to reach the front!), and I'm tired of trying to insert devices into the USB ports without knocking the dictionary off its stand. I figured that plugging a second 7-port hub into the first one would allow me to have a hub at the front of the desk and give me a few extra ports as a bonus. If you have a better idea, I'd be happy to hear it! Meanwhile, thanks so much for the information, and the fast response.

  • What happens to unused common table expressions ,Does this affect in performance or ?

    If I write a query with one or more common table expressions to which I

  • Does DBMS.JOB affect Performance

    Dear experts
    Please tell me Does DBMS.JOB affect Performance.

    Can you detail what performance you are talking about.
    DBMS_JOB is simply a scheduler, whcih you can use for your repeated uattended job initiation.which is nt going to impact the performance.
    Probably the actual Job if intensive can hit your performance.

  • Does frequent garbage collection affect performance

    Hi,
    I have written code in a filter for all the servlets in the application.
    Depending on the servlet requested I set the objects to null after
    it has finished its work.
    My question is that since the filter will be executed each time a
    servlet is requested,could it result in affecting performance ?

    I'm writing off my own experience so take my advice with a grain of salt.
    The battery is known to 'degrade' when reaching excessive temperatures. Apple recommends keeping the temperature between to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
    I used to game heavily on my phone which would get hot. After a year, I noticed that I had to fully charge my phone 3 times a day in order to make it through a day with light usage. Also, I noticed that the phone would die when the battery percentage display would be at all sorts of numbers, 37%, 43%, 7%, and sometimes stay on 1% for 5 minutes while running a processor-intensive game.
    After taking my phone to the Apple store for a diagnostic, Apple confirmed issues with the battery. There's no way to know if having my phone stay hot for long periods of time damaged the battery or if I just had a defective battery.
    My recommendation is if you know you will be gaming heavily to take the case (if you have one) off your phone and to be in a cool environment to try to keep the phone from getting too hot.
    Your battery failed not because of temperature, but you used it up. The battery is spec'd for 400 full charge/discharge cycles. If you fully drain the battery every day that's about 14 months. If you drain it more than once a day that's less time. The phone has a thermal protection circuit that will shut it down if it gets hot enough to damage anything. And actually Lithium batteries do not degrade at higher temperatures. Electric cars and plugin hybrids use the same battery technology (like the Tesla, Chevy Volt, Prius Plugin, Nissan Leaf) and they run much hotter than iPhones. And last 10 years.

  • Does TotalPageCount affect report execution on production as well ?

    Hi... As part of the mass report generation process an employee report needs to be run on production every month. The process runs for almost 2000-3000 customers and generats report for each of them. The static copies of this report is any mailed to each of tehse customers. The repot design uses TotalPageCount in a formula in the Page header of the report. I know use of this formula affects performance during report viewing. But does the use of TotalPageCount affect the report execution time when the report is being generated in mass numbers on production and scenario of report viewing does not exist ?

    Thanks for your answers.
    In my case, yes, the PDF reports are generated and then seperately mailed/emailed to the customers. What are the ways you are referring to so that the report performance can be improved ?
    The java application calls the RAS with the required input parameters. The RAS execution code is abstracted and is not accessible to us. The PDF generated by RAS is stored at some physical location.
    For your reference, my main report uses many subreports. I have done a detailed analysis of the report and no way can i get away with these subreports
    There are some things I have noticed and would be glad if you could confirm the same :
    1. I notice that there are many print time and on demand formulas present in the subreports but are not used. Should I remove them ? Does there presence affect report performance ?
    2. Is there any way that performance of charts can be improved ?
    3. Does using a lot of shared variables affect report performance ?
    4. I have identified a few stored procs where the sorting can be transfered from report to stored procedure.
    5. Is there an alternative way i can create the same effect for Page(TotalPageCount) in the page header without affecting the look of the report and also improving the performance of the report ?
    Thanks in Advance !

  • BULK COLLECT LIMIT affects performance in any way?

    Hi,
    I want to know whether BULK COLLECT LIMIT affects performance in any way?
    How does one decide what limit to keep?
    is there a oracle recommendation on the same?

    I agree with Bonist that you should read Tom's article but I am going to disagree, to a minor extent, with Tom's comment about 100 rows.
    When developing with BULK COLLECT I always add a parameter to stored procedures that is used to tune the limit clause Then when the code goes to unit testing, and at the beginning of integrated unit testing, the value is varied and the results graphed. For final testing the parameter is dropped. The number I hard code for production is the value at the left side of the top of the bell curve.
    What I find is that 100 is sometimes the right number butI have one app I developed recently where 50,000 was the right number (11gR1). As with almost everything Oracle the best answer is always that "it depends." In the case where 50K is the best solution the server has 32G of RAM, and everything processed is an SMS message averaging only 79 bytes.

  • How low can mac mini storage capacity go before it affects performance?

    I have 15 GB left on my hard drive, how low can it go before it affects performance and I welcome any recommendations on how I can best expand storage space.
    Usage: I use my mac for word and excel docs, but I store a number of images and graphic files, but I don't use any designer software.
    Thanks,
    Sq1mac

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There's no one answer to the question of how much free space you really need to keep on your drive before performance and system stability begins to suffer, but with 15Gb left at the present, you will only be reaching that point if you are doing things like burning disk images (because macOS grabs drive space to store the image) or syncing with MobileMe.
    In your situation I'd be careful not to go below 10Gb free.
    Expanding storage space is very easy. Buy an external drive with either USB2.0 or Firewire interface (firewire is better but more expensive) and connect it to your system. If the drive isn't set up for a MAc, it can easily be partitioned and formatted using Disk Utility on the Mac, and you are then ready to use whatever capacity the external has - including moving any or all your files, music, photos etc to the external if you wish or need to. Just about any external, even models which appear to be for PC/Windows use only, will work perfectly well on a Mac - you don't need a 'Mac compatible' drive.

  • Out-of-place upgrade to 11.2.0.4 (from 11.2.0.3); how does it affect certain items?

    Hi All,
    I've never done a db patch set update, and from what I've read today, I will need to do a full installation of 11.2.0.4 to have this patch set applied.
    This sounds scary and being a rookie Oracle DBA, what does this mean to my existing Oracle Database installation (Oracle 11GR2 on Windows Server 2008R2)?
    If I do an out-of-place upgrade (Oracle recommended), and create a new home, what will happen to the existing schemas/etc?
    My application is configured to connect to SERVERA, SID=123 so when I install a new home, etc, does this change anything? I've read I need to modify the tnsnames files in my new home to be similar to my current tnsnames file..
    Basically, I want to upgrade to patchset 11.2.0.4 b/c it's supposed to address a bug I have, but I want to be able to keep the 'settings' the same for the end users/applications (SERVERA, SID=123).
    Thanks in advance

    You have to remember that the database software/binaries are separate from the database itself.  Typically, you first install the software (like you did for 11.2.0.3) and then create a database. Best practice states that the location of the database files should be outside/different then the location of the binaries.
    When you install your new 11.2.0.4 in a new location, that is all that you are doing - the install does not affect the existing database. Once the 11.2.0.4 software is installed, you can upgrade the database by following the steps in the upgrade guide (the database files stay where they are, but the database gets upgraded from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4) and when the upgrade is completed successfully, the old (11.2.0.3) binaries can be de-installed at leisure.

  • Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive

    Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive. I already know that you can partition the internal hard drive to do the very same. Idon't want to use any of the internal space to run windows so I'm asking if it is possible to use a flash drive or external drive through USB to run windows when it is plugged in.

    Read https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5043762?start=0&tstart=0 to discover you can't do it.
