Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet

Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


The cuts in the Internet connection are one of the most common failures in today's computers.Between so much 3G and 4G network, meanwhile WiFi device linked simultaneously to the same point, it is not difficult to run into messages of errors in the network , slow network or inability to access it.

How can we correct these problems? No great computer skills are necessary, you just have to follow a few simple steps so that the connection returns to perform at the maximum possible speed.


ARE YOU CONNECTED?


Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


Let's start with the simplest solutions.The first thing to keep in mind is that all the hardware is in its correct state.Observe the lights of your router, disconnect it from the power outlet and reconnect it.While recovering access to the server, take the opportunity to check the status of the cables.


From time to time, the pins of the Ethernet cables may be strangled or deteriorated by simple use or excessive temperatures.Check and change them if necessary.After a restart, with the router turned off for a minute, the network should return to connect automatically.


Clear the cache of your browsers-from the 'History' tab-and also check that your WiFi network is correctly activated.Clearing the browsing data, files and images stored in cache will also save you a good bit of megabytes.You will make your browser work lighter.


Computers, whether PC or Mac, have a network icon .From there you can check if you are connected or you may have disabled it by mistake-in PC, using the FN + F2 key command; on Mac, by clicking on the menu bar icon-the purpose is, once again, to rule out all the possible obvious errors, the most immediate ones to solve.


Of course, we can also make sure if our router is operating correctly.Just type in http://192.168.1.1 in the browser.An access gateway will appear where you will have to enter a username and an administrator password..You can request yours from your network provider, but are usually generic names like admin/pass user1234, login1 or similar. So you can see if you have any kind of special restriction.


DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM


Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


If none of the above has worked for you, it's time to run a diagnosis .Windows and Mac have their built-in tools.In Windows, the route is very simple: by clicking with the right click on the desktop, select the connection icon> Troubleshoot.


From there you can see if you are correctly connected.On the other hand, to check your networks, the route to follow is Start> Configuration> Control Panel> Network and Sharing Center> Manage network connections.Once here, we mark the icon of 'Wireless Network Connections' and check its 'Properties' by clicking on it with the right mouse button.


If you are a Mac user, the steps to follow are slightly different.First you must close all the applications that you have open to avoid a false positive.Once done, connect to your Wifi network.Now hold down the Option key and select 'Open Wireless Diagnostic' in the Wi-Fi status menu.A pop-up window will appear in which you will have to enter the administrator's credentials.In this way, the diagnosis will analyze your wireless environment.


RENEWING CONCESSIONS IN MAC


Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


If the previous test does not yield any useful information, it may be time to try some more radical solution.Close all open applications and processes that are using network services, such as web browsers, accounts mail, etc.Disable the WiFi network by clicking on the icon located in the top bar-or from the apple icon> System Preferences> Red> Turn off Wi-Fi -.


Once this is done, we go to the Finder and look for the following folder path:/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/-you can also find it by searching in Spotlight /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/-.Se will open a new window with WiFi connectivity profiles.


Now select and delete the following:


  • com.apple.airport.preferences.plist

  • com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist

  • com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist

  • NetworkInterfaces.plist

  • preferences.plist

To validate it, we will ask for the administrator password.We put it in and accept it.Last step, we empty the trash and restart the computer.It is very important to restart before activating the WiFi network again. When the Mac starts again, we will have lost all the old configurations, but also the problems dragged from them .


RESETING CONTROLLERS ON PC


Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


If you have a somewhat outdated antivirus, it may be that it consumes many network resources and this will make you surf incredibly slowly.Taking official Microsoft recommendations, do the following


In the search box on the taskbar, type 'System and security' and then select 'Check the status of the computer and solve the problems'.You will have to select the arrow next to Security. The antivirus will almost always appear linked to 'Anti-virus protection' .Disable it despite the window that appears warning of the dangers you run without antivirus.It is a temporary measure.


The step to follow now is to uninstall and reinstall it.But if the problem persists, maybe your problem is among the network drivers .Yes, we recommend that you keep a copy of security of your system, that you store the files of your driver in some pendrive or USB memory that you have at home.


The steps to follow are, from the same taskbar search box, type 'Device Manager' and select it.Now follow the following path: Network adapters> name of the network adapter.Press right button on the name of the adapter and uninstall it following the path ' Remove the driver software from this device'> Uninstall .


Once this is done, our recommendation is identical to that suggested with Mac: go to the Start button and restart your PC.Once on, reinstall the driver, if possible in its most current version, although always giving priority to compatibility.


SCALING THE FAILURE


Do you cut in your connection? So you can diagnose and cure your Internet


Sometimes the problem is beyond our control.Sometimes, we are trying to switch from a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi because we believe the network spectrum is saturated and Actually, it is that we have the toasted antenna chip or some external cable has been broken-there have been cases of neighborhoods with boxes eaten by rats-.


If you think your problem is not related to your software, you may be suffering from a problem with the telephone wiring in your home. Your fiber may have been damaged or the TPR (Total Physical Response) may have been disconnected, very common when there are pets at home .If the fault is in the external network, contact the company that offers supply.


If you have Orange as an operator, you can call the toll-free number 900901300, 1470 if you are private, 1471 if you are an Autonomous or SME customer, or 656 001 470 if you call from another operator.Your professional team will open the incident and He will report the situation to his Technical Department.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

New setbacks for conspiranoicos: radiofrequencies do not affect health

New evidence published by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency and Health (CCARS) in its 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report indicates that there are no adverse health effects derived of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone antennas or radio and television broadcasting.No evidence has been found on the danger in wireless systems (Wi-Fi) or airport scanners. The new 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report collects, updates and analyzes the scientific evidence on the subject for the period between January 2013 and June 2016. radio frequencies are not dangerous According to the conclusions of the report " the critical analysis of the evidence supports that there are no technical or sanitary reasons that justify the arbitrary and discretionary imposition of more demanding exposure limits than those recommended by WHO-ICNIRP and the Union European ", while the application of more restrictive limits" would imply increasing the n...

No kidding: selfitis exists and can be a problem

Sometimes one thinks that social networks were created to share photos of faces putting on little bones and images of dishes overflowing with appetizing foods or, better, of faces putting little bones in front of plates overflowing with appetizing foods in the same shot.is to see faces, faces, faces...all of them smiling, as if looking at the smartphone mirror was the height of happiness.And it does not seem that there are so many beautiful and happy people, or maybe yes, that you go Namely.What envy.

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated.
