Use and Upgrades

From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking

It isn't for human brains (at least not yet), and it isn't exactly a router in the networking sense, but the Kendall Research wireless router for brains is a cool project with an interesting future ahead.

Introduction to Wi-Fi Wireless Antennas

Radio antennas are key components of Wi-Fi network communication systems, picking up incoming signals or radiating outgoing signals. Some Wi-Fi antennas, particularly on routers, are mounted externally and can be replaced with aftermarket ones that can increase a network's signal range.

Top VNC Free Software Downloads

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) technology enables sharing a copy of one computer's screen display with another computer over a network connection. Also known as remote desktop sharing, VNC can be used when wanting a monitor or control a computer from a remote location.

See More About: vnc remote computer access

Signal Strength of Wi-Fi Networks

The performance of a Wi-Fi wireless network connection depends in part on signal strength. Between a computer and access point, the Wi-Fi signal strength in each direction determines the total amount of network bandwidth available. Several different methods for determining the wireless signal strength are available.

Internet Remote Access Software

Remote access software allows you to access personal data or assist family members with network problems when not physically at home. Good remote access software programs possess the right combination of features, performance and security.

How to document cloud design decisions
When developing and integrating cloud systems, the public interfaces and external "contracts" among services mean that design and architecture can evolve rapidly and in parallel. But when they do and the teams are not in the same room, this speed is an invitation to chaos. As two teams work on opposite sides of an interface (the service provider and the service consumer), it's easy for the teams' definition of variables and methods to fall out of sync. Of course the service provider team could update its document and notify the other team about a new semantic of a field value or behavior of a service. But the reality is too often that they don't, and the classic problem of distributed version control rears its ugly head. Read More
