How to Connect and Unlock Apple iPad WiFi by SAKIB KHAN

Here I am going to 

explain about you 

how

 to

unlock Apple iPad WiFi. Before that 

everyone should aware of WiFi. It is a 

technology that 

allows us to 

wireless 

connect to a local-area network. It will 

allow us to browse the Internet, and 

connect to the iTunes Store and App 

store, and many other features are 

available in WiFi. You connect WiFi with

 either iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. There 

are multiple ways to configure a WiFi 

network. Let us see the how to connect

 your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with 

most

common WiFi network configurations:

1.To connect to a network:

Step 1:

Open Settings in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device and then tap Wi-Fi.

Step 2:

Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device will automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks once the Wi-Fi is ON.

Step 3:

Select the name of your desired Wi-Fi network.

Step 4:

Once your device is connected to a WiFi network, the left of the network name a check mark will appear. On the status bar at the top left of your display WiFi logo will also appear.

2.To connect to a password-protected network:

Step 1:

Open Settings in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device and then tap WiFi.

Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device will automatically search for available WiFi networks once the WiFi is ON.

Step 2:

Select the desired Wi-Fi network name. To the right of the network’s name a password-protected network will have a lock icon.

Step 3:

Enter the correct network password and then click Join. Once your device is connected to a WiFi network, the left of the network name a check mark will appear. On the status bar at the top left of your display WiFi logo will also appear.

Note:

Still tapping Join has no effect, And you have entered the password is too short. If you does not know the password to the secured network, please contact your network administrator.

3.To connect to hidden network:

Step 1:

Open Settings in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device and then tap WiFi. But in the available network list default a hidden network will not seem in your device.

Step 2:

Tap other desired network.

Step 3:

Make sure and enter the exact name of the network.

Step 4:

Tap Security and then select the required security type.

Step 5:

Select the proper security type, and then in the top left choose < Back.

Step 6:

And now you will be able to type the network password in the Password field.

Step 7:

Enter the correct network password and then click Join. Once your device is connected to a WiFi network, the left of the network name a check mark will appear. On the status bar at the top left of your display WiFi logo will also appear.

Note:

Please check with the network administrator if necessary suppose the hidden networks are secure.

Disable Lock in Router Settings:

Step 1:

On the PC open a Web browser or Mac it will be already connected to the locked network.

Step 2:

And for the router control panel enter the default address link in Resources. To access the control panel type the administrator username and password.

Microsoft Unveils Windows 10; Runs on ‘Broadest Types of Devices Ever’

Windows 10 (Microsoft)

Microsoft is officially unveiling the name for the next release of Windows today: Windows 10. While the software maker had referred to Windows 10 as codename Windows Threshold internally, today’s official naming puts any rumors of Windows, Windows TH, Windows X, Windows One, and even Windows 9 to bed. It’s simply Windows 10, marking a jump from the mixed reception of Windows 8.

Described as Microsoft’s “most comprehensive platform ever,” Windows 10 will offer a tailored experience for all hardware across a single platform family. And it turns out that’s intentional. Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore pointed to the millions of customers still using Windows 7, and said the company wants to make their transition to Windows 10 much more comfortable than the unfamiliar leap to Windows 8 two years ago. “We want all these Windows 7 users to have the sentiment that yesterday they were driving a first-generation Prius, and now with Windows 10 it’s like a Tesla.”

"Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time," said Microsoft’s Terry Myerson. "Windows 10 will run on the broadest types of devices ever." You can expect a unique user interface depending on what you’re running Windows on; images shown at the event line up with leaks that have surfaced in recent weeks. It’s basically a combination of Windows 7 and 8 that borrows design elements from each of Microsoft’s two most recent operating systems.

The “Metro” start screen and Microsoft’s traditional Start Menu have been combined; no longer is the screen one huge grid of tiles for desktop users. “The tiles and icons that are shown are a blend of classic apps and new universal apps,” Belfiore said. But Live Tiles are still here and can be resized to a user’s preference. More than anything else, Microsoft is working to make everything feel way more cohesive. “In Windows 8 when users launched a modern app, it sort of had a different environment,” Belfiore said. “We don’t want that duality. We want users on PCs with mice and keyboards to have their familiar UI.”

There’s a new universal search in the start menu that pulls in results from the web, and Microsoft is also talking up its “task view,” which helps users master Windows’ multitasking features. It looks fairly similar to Expose in OS X, and Microsoft outright admitted it’s not an earth-shattering addition. But it is intended to speed up your productivity across the entire operating system. “It illustrates for Windows we have to address a breadth of users,” Belfiore said, moving on to show a big improvement to the command prompt: it now supports paste.

But Microsoft isn’t abandoning touch input. Belfiore said the Charms bar from Windows 8 has been carried over to Windows 10 with improvements of its own. “We want to support those Windows 8 users who have touch machines and getting a lot of benefit out of them.” For convertible devices like the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Microsoft is adding a new Continuum mode that aims to make the frequent switch between tablet mode and laptop mode more seamless. “What you get is a device that operates with the simplicity of a tablet, but morphs itself back to the familiar PC experience,” said Belfiore.

Microsoft will launch a Windows 10 “Insider Program” beginning tomorrow, which will eventually afford its most enthusiastic users a chance to try out the new OS before the general public. Windows 10 will launch to consumers everywhere in late 2015.

slow wifi network 8 Tips to Improve Your WiFi Network Performance

Odds are pretty good you loaded this page over a WiFi network — or, as it is better known in my house, that $#&*#$!! WiFi network. That’s because our wireless network always chooses the worst possible time to crap out, like when we’re getting to the thrilling climax of House of Cardson Netflix.

Still, it’s better than it used to be. I’ve learned a few WiFi tricks over the years, and asked some folks who know more than I do for a few more. If you’re happy with your current WiFi setup, that’s fine. But if you want faster speeds, more reliable performance, or to just get more use out of your network, try the following eight tips.

1. Get up to speed.First, let’s go over some basics. (If you’re already a WiFi wonk, you can skip this paragraph.) WiFi does not actually mean “wireless fidelity.” Its real name is a number: 802.11, the technical standard for wireless networks first established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997. That number is always accompanied by a letter (like a, b, g, or n) that indicates which version it is. Generally speaking, each new version of 802.11 is faster and more reliable than the last, but “higher” letters don’t always mean faster speed. For example, 802.11a is faster than 802.11b. Go figure.

2. Prepare to pony up.The newest WiFi standard, 802.11ac, is roughly three times faster than the previous champ, 802.11n. In geek-speak, each 802.11ac antenna can move up to 1,300 megabits of data per second (vs. a max of roughly 450 megabits for n). So I’ll just get this out of the way: The easiest and fastest way to get more performance out of your WiFi network is to buy a new 802.11ac router.

That’s especially true if you haven’t bought a router recently. Technology has changed a lot over the past two years, and devices built to work with 802.11ac (like the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) are coming out every day.

The ASUS RT-AC3200 features six — count ’em, six — antennas, for a maximum theoretical throughput of 3,200 megabits per second. (ASUS)

Older phones and laptops will work fine with newer routers, though they won’t be able to take advantage of the speed or other new features.

But the best 802.11ac routers aren’t cheap. You can expect to drop from $100 to $300 on a new one. (Or, if you’re a T-Mobile customer, you can get a free Personal CellSpot that’s really an ASUS ac router.)

But even with an older router, there are things you can do to squeeze better performance out of your existing gear.

3. Find the right spot.Start by making sure you’ve put the router in the optimal place. Remember, WiFi signals hate water. They’re also not too crazy about metal, glass, brick, insulation, and human bodies; all these materials can impede the signal, notes Sandeep Harpalani, director of product marketing for router maker NETGEAR. For the fastest, most reliable connection, put your router in an open space, as centrally located and as high off the floor as you can.

4. Measure your signal strength.Just a couple of feet can make the difference between strong and wimpy WiFi reception. Mobile apps like Assia’s Cloudcheck or Amped Wireless’s Wi-Fi Analytics Tool let you walk through your home and identify dead spots, so you can figure out the best places to put your WiFi devices.

Assia’s Cloudcheck app lets you know how your WiFi signal fluctuates. It even beeps like a Geiger counter when coverage is strong.

5. Messing with the antennas may help.If your router has adjustable antennas, changing their angle can redirect the signal and cover dead spots. Feeling crafty? Freeantennas.com offers instructions on how to make a parabolic reflector out of card stock and attach it to the antenna to boost the signal (although a directed antenna like that will make the sweet spot extremely narrow.)

If you have a new 802.11ac router, though, you probably won’t need this. They use a technique called beamforming to focus the signal toward devices on the edge of your network, notes Richard Najarian, senior director of wireless connectivity for Broadcom, which makes chipsets for wireless routers and other devices.

6. Try changing the channel.
Older WiFi routers are prone to interference from other devices operating in the same spectrum — which sadly includes microwave ovens, many cordless phones, Bluetooth headsets, or your neighbors’ wireless networks. Usually the router’s default settings work fine, but if your wireless signal seems flaky, you can dial up your router’s administration page and change the channel to see if things improve.

Mobile apps like WiEye for Android let you view all the wireless nets nearby to see what channels they’re on. (Sorry, iPhone fans — Apple has banished WiFi scanners from the iTunes Store; you’ll have to rely on a desktop app like WiFi Scanner for Mac or WiFi Channel Scanner for Windows.)

Most routers can use 11 channels (specific radio frequencies) and are set at channel 1, 6, or 11 by default, because these frequencies don’t overlap with one another. (So if your neighbor’s network is broadcasting on 6, set yours at 1 or 11 to avoid interference.) Routers that operate in the 5 GHz range (802.11a, n, and ac) broadcast across 23 channels and are less prone to interference, so there’s less need to futz with the channel settings.

You can go into your router’s Web control panel to change channels; you may also be able to use a router-specific app like NETGEAR genie or Cisco Connect Express.

7. Use both bands.
Many routers have radios that operate on two frequencies, roughly 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (each channel works on a specific frequency near that). So you can have two separate networks running at the same time, one for devices that access WiFi at the lower frequency and another for those that connect at 5 GHz. The higher band is less crowded and better for high-bandwidth uses like streaming video, says Joseph Yarak, director of marketing for Quantenna Communications, a WiFi chipset maker.

8. Use wires when possible.As fast as the newest WiFi standard is, a wireless connection still isn’t as fast or reliable as a standard wired one. When possible, connect bandwidth-hungry devices that stay in one location — like your Roku streaming media boxes or Xbox gaming consoles — directly to your router via networking cable, and save the wireless connections for the stuff that moves around.
