This is similar to running too many programs on one computer. The computer's "brain" and RAM can't handle too many processes occurring at the same time, and wireless routers lock up when too many devices are connected because there is too much data transmission for them to handle at one time.

What is the purpose of an access point?

The function of a wireless access point is to allow wireless devices such as projectors, laptops and PDAs to access a local area network. Wireless access points mainly act as switches to spread connections wirelessly. The difference between an access point and a router is that access points do not assign IP addresses nor do they have firewalls; they only lock out traffic that does not have the wireless key.


Why does your iPad lose wifi whenever you lock it?

Check to see that the wireless access point in Settings is set to automatically connect. If it isn't, you'll have to manually connect every time you unlock.


5 Tips For Securing Your Home Wi-Fi Network?

As wireless devices become more common, the need for wireless security continues to increase. Manufacturers of wireless devices are doing what they can to make them secure, but the rest is up to the users. These 5 tips will help to ensure your privacy and safety.Change Your Router's Default PasswordThis is something that should be done as soon as the router is connected. Hackers make sure to know the default usernames and passwords of routers, so make sure to chance yours immediately. A strong password including letters and numbers is recommended.Turn On EncryptionBy default, many routers come with no encryption enabled, meaning anyone can connect to your network. Check your router's manual for directions on enabling encryption. Whenever possible, use WPA encryption instead of WEP encryption, as it is stronger.Use FirewallsMake sure that the firewalls on both your computers and the router are enabled. Most of the time new routers come with the firewall enabled by default, but make sure to check that yours is running.Turn Off SSID BroadcastingSSID broadcasting allows any compatible wireless device to see that your wireless network is up and running. Turning broadcasting off will prevent this by requiring you to know the name of the network you wish to connect to. Going a step further and change your SSID name from the default to something harder to guess will provide even more security.Filter By MAC AddressIf you really want to lock down your network, enabling MAC address filtering is a strong way to keep hackers out. A MAC address is a unique identifier for a wireless device. Filtering by this identifier allows only the devices you specify to even attempt to connect to your network, regardless of whether or not the person attempting to connect knows the network's SSID. MAC address filtering is a lengthier process than any of the other tips outlined here, so have your router's manual handy.There are many more ways to secure your wireless network, some far more complicated than the above tips, but these alone will go a long way toward keeping your network safe.

What is a device that can read and write data?

Most devices are actually input-output devices, but are classified based on their primary mode of operation. For example, a keyboard does provide some output (the status lights on the keyboard provide user feedback on the condition of the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys), but is considered an input-only device, since the output it provides is minimal. Devices that are truly input-output devices are those whose functionality is (approximately) equal, at least in theory. Devices which would be considered actual input-output devices are as follows: All-in-One office devices, such as printer/fax/copier/scanner units. Mass Storage devices, such as hard drives, disk burners (CD, DVD, etc) Network Interface Controllers (Ethernet, Wireless, etc). Specialty devices, such as touch-screen art pads.

How do you connect your iPhone to your home network?

Go in to settings, then select "Wi-Fi" then, select "on" if turned off. It should then scan for wireless networks and produce a list. A pad lock means the network is secure and requires a password. Select the network you require, then connect, entering the password if required. NOTE, IT MIGHT BE ILLEGAL IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONNECT TO A PRIVATE NETWORK WITHOUT PERMISSION, EVEN IF NOT SECURED!!

I can't connect my DSi to wireless and all visible connections have a grey lock what can I do?

You need to know the encryption key. If your own wireless router's SSID is visible on the DSi, then it's a simple matter of entering the same encrpytion key as your computer uses to connect to it.If you do not know any of the encryption keys, that's because those networks belong to and are paid for by other people. You aren't supposed to be able to access them without permission (it would be illegal to do so), either sort your own wireless router out, or if that's not possible, get a Nintendo wireless USB device which plugs into your computer and lets your DSi connect that way. Lastly, there are free public wi-fi spots in some places, like McDonalds restaurants, you are free to use those and they have no encryption.


Suppose a user on your office network has changed the channel on which his wireless NIC. Assuming the wireless connection is his only access to the lan What will happen when he tries to send an email?

The e-mail program will respond with a message indicating it could not connect to the mail server. Some people will dispute this by saying that you cannot change the channel on a wireless NIC. A normal user would not make that change, but it can be done and I actually do it frequently. I do wireless security audits and frequently lock my NIC to only scan a certain channel that I am interested in.
