Easy Setup Wireless Repeaters

AppId is over the quota

Some of us don't have a problem setting up wireless repeaters. Then again some of us probably wouldn't have a problem coding their own operating system so who knows. Some of us don't have time to keep up on the latest technology and we appreciate when things are being made easy. There's a lot to be said for a wireless network which just works and sadly this is too rare. Something always goes wrong and a wireless repeater is supposed to make things easier - not harder. So rather than having to deal with security settings and who knows what else I like having it easy and there's a few way you can find an easy wireless repeater which won't cause a headache.

The easiest way to get an easy setup is with Wifi protected setup (WPS). The setup process can be as simple as pushing a button on your router and pushing another on the wireless repeater itself. The router looks for another device which has currently had the button pressed and there's no complicated setups or settings. It takes your original settings for the first network and uses the same thing. You don't even need to enter your wireless password because pushing the WPS button requires physical access which counts as some pretty good security against people stealing your internet.

The problem with WPS is twofold. Firstly there is a fairly large security hole with malicious users practically brute forcing the WPS beacons. This can be sorted by disabling WPS when you're done with it or by patching your firmware to a point where it automatically prevents a brute force on the WPS.

But the second problem is incompatibility. Sometimes frequencies or security encryption doesn't line up and other times you might not even have WPS on your router in the first place. If someone gets a repeater or range extender based on the fact it is easy to install then they're not going to be pleased when it doesn't work straight out of the box.

So it's impossible to make WPS compatible with a router which doesn't have WPS. But there is still a way to get easy to use wireless repeaters and that lies in the setup procedure itself. Now I have a golden rule. If my mother can set one up I consider it easy.

My five year old Linksys repeater (called a range expander back then) had a pretty buggy setup. You had to install software from a CD which didn't even have an autorun and it wasn't clear how you were supposed to do things or what to do when things went wrong. At the time originally I got it working with a lot (and I mean a lot) of trial and error.

The setup was tricky, required a working knowledge of wireless networks and at least a basic understanding of what could be going wrong and why. Because the setup process itself was sure as hell not going to tell you.

I have since upgraded (thankfully) to a better (newer) model which not only supports the latest routers but has an easy to use setup which actually runs directly from the router itself. Rather than having to connect a cable (which didn't even come with the original Linksys repeater) you just connect to the new wireless network the repeater makes. You go to a website (an internal IP) hosted within the repeater and choose the network you want to repeat. The setup is easy to follow, does mostly everything for you and if something doesn't work it suggests possible reasons why starting with the most likely. This I would call an easy setup.

So to find the wireless repeaters which are going to be easy to setup look for three things. Firstly compatibility with your router. You're going to get nowhere if you have a decade old repeater which can't handle the same frequency or encryption as your router is using. Secondly look for WPS if your router has a WPS button on the side but make sure you log in to the router afterwards and disable WPS afterwards unless you're positive the model is patched against brute forcing (or you really, really trust your neighbors).

Lastly, look for something updated. Not only will this mean you're more likely to find the compatibility you need but you're less likely to run into some outdated setup process. A lot of the newer range extenders and repeaters from manufacturers like Netgear, Amped and Cisco have really improved their setups to suit people who don't want the bother of fighting with their wireless network and the setup would pass my 'can my mother do it' test.

Don't let WiFi networks get you down or setting up wireless repeaters as tricky as it can be. Have a read at our guide on http://wifirepeaters.net/easy-setup-range-extenders/ for a look at wireless repeaters which are easy to use.

POP3, IMAP, SMTP: Different Email Server Types and How to Use Them to Setup Windows Mail

AppId is over the quota

Email services all utilize one (or more) of the three standard email servers: POP3, IMAP, and SMTP. Each of these servers store and deliver emails in different ways. They are all used by Internet-based companies, like Gmail, Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo!, so customers can conveniently check their email from anywhere.

What is a POP3 server?

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol 3. This kind of server works a lot like a post office box, it holds your mail there on the server until you check it. When you check your email, your messages are downloaded from the server to your computer. Usually your messages will be deleted off of the server once you download them by checking your mail. This is probably the most common type of server used by personal email accounts.

What is an IMAP server?

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. This is traditionally more of a business-oriented mail server. With an IMAP server, you have access to your messages without downloading them first. You can organize, preview, and even delete messages directly on the server. Copies of your emails are stored on the server until you delete them, even if you download the messages to your computer.

What is an SMTP server?

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. This kind of server only handles outgoing email messages. It works in conjunction with either a POP3 or an IMAP server by sending out any and all outgoing mail while the other server handles the incoming mail.

Why do I need to know this?

If you ever need to set up one common email account (Windows Live, Outlook) that will check and download emails from multiple accounts, you'll need to know what type of servers are used for incoming and outgoing mail on each account.

SET UP WINDOWS MAIL FOR ALL YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS

An integrated part of Windows Live Essentials, Windows Mail allows you one-stop access for all of your email accounts. This localized email program can integrate Hotmail, AOL Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, etc. into one convenient location on your PC.

Each email address belongs to a separate folder in your Windows Mail Inbox, allowing you to keep your emails organized while still accessing them from one place.

What Do I Need to Set Up My Account?

For each email account you want to add to your Windows Mail, collect the following information.

1. The email address and password.

2. The type of email server your account uses: POP3, IMAP, SMTP.

3. The incoming and outgoing addresses of your email servers. Server addresses for some of the more popular email services are as follows:

a. Gmail Incoming: pop.gmail.com, Gmail Outgoing: smtp.gmail.com

b. Yahoo! Incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.com, Yahoo! Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

c. AOL Incoming: imap.aol.com, AOL Outgoing: smtp.aol.com

4. Whether or not your outgoing email server requires authentication.

Setting up Your Windows Mail Account

1. Click on your Start button and then All Programs.

2. Find Windows Mail and click on it.

3. Under your Windows Mail Tools menu, click on Accounts.

4. Click Add.

5. Click on Email Account and then click Next. Just follow the instructions for filling in the necessary info about that particular account.

6. Repeat the process for each additional email account you wish to set up.

Now you're all set to start accessing all your email accounts from one program and cross off Simplify Life from today's To Do list.
