Increasing Wi-Fi

Hi everybody,
So, in my house I have a modem that's connected to a router which gives me internet at home. But when I'm connected directly from the modem to the computer, I get great internet connection, but when I connect from the wi-fi router, I get a bad internet connection, even if I am sitting right next to it. I've followed some steps like place it in a better position, and it has no antenna so I can't do the metallic foil trick.
Now, my question is, how do I increase internet connecion/wifi strenght around the house. I thought about buying this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Linksys+-+Wireless-N+R​ange+Extender/3060394.p?id=1218377143604&skuId=306​... to connect in my room. But I don't have ethernet cable or something like that in my room. I was looking to get something to connect to the electricity and that would be it. Is there something of the sort?
I hope you can help me out.
Thanks for reading!

THere are some Range extenders on the market.  Some require some tweaking to work... especially with encrypted routers.  Those have to be set up via web page access.
Here are a sample of a couple types:CLICK HERE    and HERE

  • Delete file from original location and when copied size of file increases.

    hi !
    I have 2 exe's both of 1.15MB which I want to move to another folder. The files are copied to the folder but the size of exe increases to around 350MB each. What can be the problem ?
    BufferedOutputStream bos=new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filename));
    int o=bis.read();
    do{bos.write(o);}while (o!=-1);
    boolean del=this.fpara.delete();
    System.out.println(del);          Also, the file is not deleted from the original location even though I have used the delete function. The last line produces null output.

    And do follow coding conventions

  • MY BILL INCREASED $60 IN A SINGLE MONTH ...

    **FYI*** I AM POSTING THIS TO THE PUBLIC BOARD PER A VERIZON FORUM TEAM REP'S REQUEST *** THEY SAID I CAN'T SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE, THAT A MODERATOR NEEDS TO ASSIGN IT TO A FORUM TEAM AGENT *** THANK YOU!! ***
    My bill for standard/on-going monthly services has jumped $60 in a single month.  
    Below is a copy/paste directly from my Verizon Account page.  As you can see, my monthly payment for services rendered has averaged in the $220's going back to Jan 2013. My on-line bill for the current monthly charges is $284.05.  Please clarify 
    BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR REVIEW, PLEASE NOTE:  My payments over the last 5 or 6 months do not match the monthly billed charges because there have been multiple charges billed in error to our account that I have been disputing  going back to April.  Verizon just recently approved removal all of the disputed charges and I received email confirmations showing the refunds were posted to my account.   I have been deducting the disputed amounts before I paid my monthly bill, so the amounts below are an accurate average of our monthly services.  The rep who called me to process the refunds indicated she would call me back in a few days to give me the correct total amount due on my account after all refunds had processed. I have yet to receive that call-back.
    CURRENT ISSUE:  I am trying to pay my correct charges in full now that all of the incorrectly billed charges have been removed/refunded.  In order to do that  ....
    -  I am requesting a detailed account of the the $50 increase in the current month's bill
    ... AND ...
    -  I am requesting confirmation of the total amount due to date on my account AFTER the refunds have been removed.  .
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  • Increase counter frequency performanc​e

    Hello,
    I want to increase the frequency performance for my period counter. I'm using a USB-6210 board and I have the vi that is attached - period measurement.
    The problem is that I want to measure the period for a 8MHz signal (I know that is a lot, I would be happy even with 4MHz). The source freq for the counter is 80Hz. If the frequency is high, the accuracy is not very critical for me.
    1. I get most of the time the error: "Buffer overwritten". I've seen that I can get rid of it if I decrease the frequency, but I don't want to do that . I think that another solution would be to increase the number of points that are read. I noticed that the maximum buffer size is around 9000 points (I've read it with DAQmxRead Property Node).
    2. Another fact that I've noticed is that in the While loop where I'm doing the Data Reading I should have no other operations or delay. Is this true, or just a coincidence?
    3. There is a strange behavior: if I start the acquisition and I have at the input high frequency, I get the error (Buffer overwritten) almost instant. If I start acquisition at low freq I can increase it even at high freq.
    4. There is another strange behavior: if the input frequency is high the frequency and the measured period increase and decrease togheter. I think that this is caused by alias. Where can I find some more information about the board limits?
     If you can give me some other advice/hints/links/pdfs I would be very thanksful.
    Maybe there are some small mistakes in the VI. I made it only to get a feeling of what I'm doing. I didn't chek it with the hardware.

    Paul

    Jochen,
    thanks for this information. This was what I was looking for some while.
    I still have a question related to this topic: I've read that the maximum size of FIFO is 1024 samples. What does it mean?
    [JK:] The FIFO is the hardware buffer on the board. In general the PCI-bus or the USB should have enough bandwidth to transfer the data as fast as they are acquired by the device, but in fact there are sometimes some latencies that require some local memory on the board. That's what is called FIFO in this context.
    This FIFO is the same with the: Available Samples Pro Channel from Read Property node?
    [JK:]  No. This value refers to the buffer in the PC's memory that is allocated for the acquisition operation.
    I've noticed that when the value for this property is passing 9000 I get the error with Overwritten Buffer. If it is like this why do I reach more than 9000 samples pro channel? Please take a look at the attachement (test1.png - screenshoot with the values / speed_test_x - the VI that I used for this measurement).
    [JK:] The buffer size is not limited to 9000 values. NI-DAQmx allocates memory automatically by default. If you like you can increase the buffer size manually.
    Which is the relation between maximum numbers of sample that can be read with the Counter 1D Read NSamples? In my VI there are N=250 samples. Can I increase it in order to avoid the error? If yes, which should be the maximum limit, 1024 ?
     [JK:] You can increase the number of values to read up to the size of the buffer (not of the FIFO). A reasonable value is up to 50% of the buffer size, but this is not a strict rule. Anything between 10% and 90% could make sense, depending on the timing requirements of your application.

    PS: I've hope that I translated the LabView terms in the right way. I have my LabView in german (but I don't know german, so it is a nightmare for me )

  • Ctx_doc.snippet increase the number of occurrences returned

    Hi everybody,
    I am pretty new on Oracle Text so please be merciful :)
    I am on Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and I need to provide my users with ALL snippets found in a text, but it seems that CTX_DOC.SNIPPET restricts the number of snippets occurrences (I will exemplify it later).
    The question is: is there a way to increase the number of results/snippets returned by CTX_DOC.SNIPPET ?
    In the example that follows, I create the table "mysearch" and an index of type CTXSYS.CONTEXT, then I run the final SELECT query with CTX_DOC.SNIPPET() to obtain a list of most relevant fragments.
    If you run the query - see the column "SNIPPET" - record #6 is returning only the first 4 occurrences. In this case (especially because is a single row) I would expect to find all 6 occurrences instead of 4.
    Again, if looking to record #7 I have only 3 occurrences.
    Then for record #8 I have only 2 occurrences.
    I know that CTX_DOC.SNIPPET retrieves the "most" relevant fragment, but I would like to obtain the full list of fragments present in the indexed text. Is there a way (or an alternate method) to accomplish what I like to do.
    I have also noted that CTX_DOC.MARKUP can be used on the same index to retrieve the full text "marked-up" with my query terms, so I know Oracle has indexed the text somewhere, I need only to get it out !
    Any help will be very appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Luigi

  • Adobe Cloud Price Increase

    I only use Photoshop and Lightroom, and my monthly subscription is going up from $30 to $50.  I have been unable to find anywhere on the Adobe website to send a complaint.  There seems to be no way to penetrate Adobe's defenses against customer contact.  I found an online chat option but after 1/2 hour of waiting it simply dumped me back to the bottom of the queue.  Does anyone have an email address for an Adobe customer service employee who is fluent in  English?  Thank you!!!

    With as small as the CS5 > CS5.5 upgrades were, and the previous announcement of a .5 version increase per 12 months, I can't see the half versions being considered a full version, nor would I choose to believe that Adobe could innovate to any noticeable degree by releasing full versions in a 12 month cycle.  It would be, in my mind, akin to Firefox, whom at around version 4 started coming out with full versions every 2-3 weeks (it felt).  They are now at version 20, seemingly treating major version revision numbers like they were minor versions.
    Adobe hit consumers with a 1-2 punch, first taking away their upgrade options (again, I understand Adobe's moving away from the ability to have a piece of software qualify for upgrade when it was many versions behind, but I still feel a 2-versions back is more than respectable without forcing your customer base to shell out money, especially if they DO plan to decrease the product cycle timeframe)
    Secondly, they put together some horrible ala carte functionality where once you hit 2 applications, you might as well get all 17.  How skewed is that? 
    I understand the mentality, why buy 1 at $1 when you can get 2 for $1.75.  But to really entice the consumer and provide as wide an array of solutions to their needs as possible, Adobe could have EASILY done a proper ala carte system where 1 product was relatively expensive, but as you added more products, you saved more money.
    As per your article indicated, single applications are inherrently expensive.  But with the Design and Web bundles being merged (now providing me with more applications that I don't need), there simply is no way to affordably get yourself the applications you want or to stay within a respectable budget.
    There's something sinister about the Cloud.  How can you offer $50/month for EVERY application you make (ie, the Master Collection, a bundle far too expensive for many customers) and then NOT offer any type of alternate plan? And on top of that they say "Your upgrade pricing policy is now revoked.  1 version back, or you might as well pay full"
    I don't think you can compare Office to CS.  For what Cloud charges per year, you can have access to EVERY Office tool for the next 4 years.  If you convert what MS did with Office to what Adobe SHOULD do with the "Master Collection", they would be charging $300/year (~$25/month), exactly the price I'd be willing to pay for just 7-8 products, not even all of them.

  • Custom Calculation Script for building in a percentage increase

    Hello all,
       Looking for a custom calculation script that will apply a percentage increase to a default value when the value of another cell goes above certain numbers. Crude example below.
    Y is the cell that the script will be applied to.
    if value of cell X > 10 then value of cell Y = default value * .10 ..... for 10%
    if value of cell X > 20 then value of cell Y = default value * .20...... for 20%
    if value of cell X > 30 then value of cell Y = default value * .30....... for 30%
    Pleaes forgive me. I know my example above is not in true Java form because I really do not know Java that well. Thanks for any help that you all may provide!

    I've inserted the picture above to help. This is a sizing form for pants for a fire department that will be filled out at the department by the firefighter. The manufacturer that makes the pants passes along a 10% upcharge for anyone with a waist 44-50, a 20% upcharge for anyone with a waist 52-54, and a 30% upcharge for anyone with a waist 56-58. The $42.95 in the "Price" cell is the default price for anyone with a waist that does not meet up-charging penalties (Less than a 44 waist). What I am trying to do is if the firefighter plugs in let's say a waist of 50" the "price' cell will update to show an increase of 10%. ($47.24). If he plugs in a waist of 52" the "price" cell will update to show an increase of 20% ($51.54). If he plugs in a waist of 56" the "price" cell will update to show an increase of 30% ($55.83). I hope that makes sense. I know it can be frustrating helping someone that may not know all the ins and outs like a lot of you do so I greatly appreciate your patience and your help!

  • Increase Performance and ROI for SQL Server Environments

    May 2015

    The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
    NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
    Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
    OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
    Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
    These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.
    Chris Lemmons
    Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
    If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
    In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
    Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.
    Figure 1) NetApp All Flash FAS increases CPU utilization on your SQL Server database servers, lowering costs.

    Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
    End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
    Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
    If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
    Test Methodology
    To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
    Table 1) Components used in testing.
    Test Configuration Components
    Details
    SQL Server 2014 servers
    Fujitsu RX300
    Server operating system
    Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition
    SQL Server database version
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition

    Fibre channel network
    8Gb FC with multipathing
    Storage controller

    Data ONTAP version
    Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3.1
    Drive number and type
    48 SSD
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
    The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
    That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
    Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
    The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
    Calculating the Savings
    Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
    The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.

    The takeaway here is that you can replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs, with the majority of the savings derived from the reduction in SQL Server licensing costs.

    Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
    In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
    A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
    Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
    In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
    For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
    Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
    First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
    A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
    The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
    If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
    And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
    For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

    A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
    Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
    In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
    For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
    Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
    First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
    A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
    The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
    If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
    And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
    For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

  • I cannot increase volume on Voice Memo

    Does anyone know how to increase volume on Voice Memo?
    I almost do not hear my messages (unless I shout or put my phone in front of my lips and talk loud).

    Just got a 3GS today and this volume problem was one of the first things I noticed. This has to be fixed - teling people they have to use a headset mic or somesuch, when the speakerphone usage of the built-in mic works just fine, is a cop-out. Obviously an oversight ("bug") in the code. Now if someone could just figure out what the file type of the voice memos is, one could take the files of 3rd party apps that do record at a proper volume and make iTunes recognize them as voice memos. If Apple's going to release something they consider a core iPhone app in this shoddy condition, it's only fair if we get some sort of functional workaround rather than wait for someone's bugfix inbox queue in Cupertino to get caught up on.

  • Increase value in a variable (advance)

    Sample code:
       positiveevent[0].titletxt="Found Treasure"
       positiveevent[0].descriptxt="Congratuation, you found a treasure chest within it there is"+ String (changeable) + "energy crystal"
       positiveevent[0].effect=changeval
       positiveevent[0].effectvar=energycrystal
    Energycrystal is a predefined variable in the beginning of package with public var energycrystal:int=10000; and what I like to acomplish is when a button is clicked the variable energycrystal would add the value of changeval to it. But I can't just do positiveevent[0].effectvar+=changeval because it would increase effectvar not energycrystal. I want to know how to do this because I have different effectvar like reputation and stuff. Is there a way to do it?

    I´m not sure if I understand your problem, but you can always rewrite if/switch statements like this:
    var conditions:Array = ["mana"."crystal","gold","weapon"];
    var effect:Array = ["magic","reputation","wealth","strength"];
    var points:Array = [10,15,20,25];
    var energy:int = 10000;
    //Now in your Button which is a MovieClip you have 4 keyframes labeled "mana","crystal","gold","wepaon"
    function buttonClickHandler(e:MouxeEvent):void{
    for (var i:int= 0; i<conditions.length;i++){
        if(e.currentTarget.currentLabel == conditions[i]){
       energy += points[i];
       enhanceProperty(effect[i]);
      //leave the loop when ready
    return;
    function enhanceProperty(_property:String):void{
    //do Something based on the argument

  • How do I use storage on icloud to increase space on my phone

    How do I use the storage space I purchased to increase space on my 4s phone

    Are these things you really want to have control over - and keep?
    If so you would be better off off-loading them to your home computer if you have one. 
    Western Digital and probably other drive makers do off "create your own cloud"  devices so you can share between multiple devices if you need it.
    The "cloud" is a fluffy marketing name for a shared server - owned by another individual who has control over your information and how long it is kept.
    Even Steve Wozniak doubted that that was a great idea - as in read the fine print don't just accept it.

    A question. Do I plug the TC into the Comcast modeum Router or the iMac?
    Both is good.. but at least one of your routers.. TC or express must be plugged into the router.. the imac can get internet connection by wireless.

  • How do I increase the text size in photoshop 10

    I can't read the program text it is so small and I can't find how to increase it.  Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, there's no way to increase the size of the text on the App Store itself but enabling the zoom feature in System Preferences > Universal Access - Seeing might be a workaround for you.
