Technical support for fixing Wi-Fi home network security issues

Live Tech CareWireless security is the prevention of unauthorized access or damage to computers via wireless networks.Wireless networks are very general, both for organization and individuals. Most of the  laptop computers has wireless cards pre-installed. The possibility to enter a network with mobile has huge benefits. However, wireless networking have a lot of security problem. Hackers has start wireless networks comparatively simple to break into, and even while using wireless technology to crack into wired networks. As a result, its too important that enterprise define effective wireless security policies that protect against unauthorized access to important resources.  Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems are commonly use to enforce wireless security policy.The risk to user of wireless technology has improved  the services and it has been more popular. There was relatively lesser danger when wireless technology was introduced. Crackers yet have no time to latch on to the new technology and wireless was not frequently found in the work place. Moreover, there are a large number of security risks linked with the current wireless protocols and encryption method, and in the carelessness and unawareness that exists at the user and corporate IT level. Cracking ways has become much more complicated and modern with wireless. Cracking have also turn out to be much easier and more accessible with easy-to-use Windows or Linux-based tools being made available on the web without any charge.Most of the organization that do not have wireless access points installed does not feel that they need to address wireless security worry. In-Starting MDR and META Group have expected that all of the corporate laptop and computers that were planned to be purchased were equipped with wireless. Problems can arise in an apparently non-wireless organization when a wireless laptop is plug into the corporate network. A cracker might sit out in the parking lot and collect info from it through laptops or through other devices as handhelds, or even break in during this wireless card-equipped laptop and get access to the wired network.

Technical support for sharing printer on a home network

Live Tech CarePrinter can be attach by all computers in a network because there are mainly three ways for sharing printer’s in a home network, i.e. dedicating a desktop or a laptop to a printer, adding up a print server, or via a network printer. In home network installation, by attaching a printer to one of the computers and switching on printer sharing on that particular computer is the most useful resolution. Using this resolution, the printer is attached to the network via this computer, as a result it uses this computer resources for e.g. memory, processing power and interface etc when managing any printing instruction from any computer in the home network. You can use any kind of printer having similar or USB port. This result has the potential to clog the computer to which the shared printer connects if it handles a lot of print jobs and this computer is also used for working with a lot of applications.

If you have or decided to add additional printer to your home network, then using a print server is your most excellent resolution. Print server is a machine that has memory, processing power, and interfaces to handle all printers connected in a network. It takes over the role of a dedicated computer in the first resolution. A print server has set of connections of interfaces like Ethernet/Wi-Fi, antenna and connectors i.e. LPT or USB for printers. A print server generally can be configured with a web browser. A print server is not essentially a separate device, it is incorporated with broadband routers in many products. On the other hand, for the best network and printing routine, it would be better to use a separate print server.

If you are thinking to replace your old printer with the new one, and move toward a printer of your selection which is network-ready i.e. having Ethernet/Wi-Fi or other network interface), then you can attach this printer directly to a hub/switch/access point/router. You don’t have to give a computer or a print server to this printer as your home network see it similar to other computers, that’s as one of network devices. The disadvantage of this type of printer is generally more expensive and limited in models than normal printers. You may be able to network-enable your regular printer by a printer adapter. Printer adapters for Ethernet and Wi-Fi are now available in the market. But the exact printer adapter product is only compatible with few printer models.

Which solution is the best? It depends on your needs and funds.

The first resolution is the cheapest because it doesn’t need extra hardware but it requires a computer to be always on to handle all print works.

The second resolution gives flexibility, enhanced printing management, and network resources allocation, but you have to buy extra equipment.
