Cricket Wireless Broadband Card — How to get better speed!
After buying the card last month, I did a quick review about the broadband card. I wanted to talk about the speed problems that I had when I first used the modem. Here is how to possibly getting better speeds when you use your card. First off, you will need to disconnect from the internet and go to your quicklink mobile application:
You will click on “Tools” and then hit ‘Activation’. If you have it fail on your the first time you should reboot your system then try to do the activation after reboot that should fix the activation problem.

10 ways to keep your wireless router secure!!
Comments OffI have been doing quite a few router reworks. I’ve got a wireless G router from my DSL provider and Have had problems with someone in my neighborhood trying to get onto my router. They were trying everything. I wanted to give you some suggestions that would help you keep your secure and have some piece of mind!!
- Turn off Signal Identification (What your router name is)- By turning of the signal so no one can see the broadcast name will greatly make it harder for anyone to get onto your router.
- Change your router identification – Creating a unique router identification will also make it harder for anyone to guess router identification. Keep the identification something that is unidentifiable to the location where you live.
- USE WPA and not WEP – WEP has been cracked so if at all possible use WPA encryption and that too will make it harder for an unwanted guest.
- Use a Random Password Generator (Roboform an generate secure random passwords) ["Use one these promo codes to get it cheaper"] – By using a random password you prevent hackers from guessing the Network password of your WPA key.
Clearwire releases first pre-WiMAX PC card for laptops
Comments Off
The latest saviour of wireless broadband is at hand. Clearwire is finally shedding those clunky external modems, and is launching its very first pre-WiMAX data card to bring what it deems “True Broadband” to laptops. The PC card uses Motorola’s pre-WiMAX OFDM tech, and doesn’t require any extra power sources beyond your laptop’s own precious juice. If you’re luckily enough to be living in some random part of Clearwire’s primarily-podunk US coverage area, you can be getting some 1.5Mbps wireless internets for $59.99 a month, plus a $6.99 a month fee to lease the PC card. You can buy the card straight up for $230, but that seems a bit excessive given the “pre” nature of the thing at the moment.
Hmm, I want one!!
