How to Change Your Wi Fi Password

Wi-Fi is great for keeping you connected, but a poorly secured Wi-Fi can put your personal information at risk. Keeping your router password protected and changing the password regularly is an essential key to protecting your network and your data. It also keeps cheap neighbors from stealing your bandwidth! To learn how to change your Wi-Fi password, continue reading.

Steps:

1. Open your router's configuration page. You can access your router's configuration page through a web browser on a computer connected to your network. If you can't connect via Wi-Fi because you don't know the password, use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the router. This will bypass the need for the Wi-Fi password.
   Standard router addresses are 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or10.0.1.1 (Apple). Enter the address into your browser's address bar.
   If none of the above addresses grant you access to the configuration page, open the Command Prompt by pressing ⌘ Win+R and entering cmd. Once the Command Prompt opens, type ipconfig and press ↵ Enter. Look for your active connection in the list and find the Default Gateway address. This is typically your router address.
   If all else fails, press and hold the Reset button on your router for about 30 seconds to revert it to factory default settings. Then, look up the default address for that router model and enter it into your browser.
   Some routers come with configuration software. If you've previously installed your configuration software, you can use that instead of the web browser interface.
2. Enter your router's username and password. Every router will require a username and password before you can access the innards. If you never changed this when you first configured the router, chances are the username is "admin" and the password is "admin" or "password". Of course this varies from model to model, so you should search your model online to see your exact login info.
   If you've changed the login in the past and since forgot it, or received the router as a hand-me-down and the previous owner didn't reset it, you'll need to press and hold the Reset button on the router for about 30 seconds. This will reset the settings to default, allowing you to log in with the default username and password.
3. Open the Wireless section. Once you are logged into your router, you will need to find the Wireless section of the configuration page. The exact name changes from manufacturer to manufacturer, but generally you are looking for a "Wireless" or "Wireless Settings/Setup" tab or button.
   If your "Wireless" section has multiple subsections, open the Wireless Security page.
4. Change the password. Look for the box labeled "Password", "Passphrase" or "Shared Key". You can enter your new password into this box. Some routers will ask that you type the password again to ensure that you entered it correctly.
   Try to create a strong password that would be difficult if not impossible to guess. It should not be related to anything personal, and should include a liberal amount of numbers, random cases, and special characters such as "!", "$" and "#".
   A strong password is usually at least 8 characters long.
5. Check out your security type. There are three main types of wireless encryption: WEP, WPA, and WPA2. For the most secure network, you should be using WPA2. You may run into issues connecting older devices, however, in which case you could switch to WPA or WPA/WPA2. Selecting WEP is NOT recommended, as WEP encryption is very easy to break (it can take less than 30 minutes to crack a WEP password).
6. Change your network name. While you're here, take a moment to change your network name if you have not already. The name should not include any personally identifiable information, as the name will be publicly broadcast. Changing the name will help deter people from trying to break into it. Routers with default names are seen as easier hacking targets.
7. Save your settings. Once you are done entering in your new password, click the Apply or Save button. The button's location is different for every router, but is typically located at the top or bottom of the page. The router will take a few moments to process the change, at which point any devices currently connected would be disconnected.
   After your settings are changed, you can connect to your wireless network using your new password.

Hot launches: Smartphones of September 2014

iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6: Which one should you go for? Reuters

Apple iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus

This month, we finally saw Apple showcased its new iPhone models. With the new iPhones, Apple has addressed the most common demand by its consumers – a larger screen. The iPhone 6 comes with a 4.7-inch display and the iPhone 6 Plus enters the phablet zone with a gigantic 5.5-inch display, which is a significant upgrade over the 4-inch display seen in the predecessor. Both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have already received rave reviews from tech critics. However, the larger model was marred by the #bendgate rumour which pointed at a probable design flaw in the larger of the two iPhones. Available in gold, silver and space grey, the devices are powered by A8 64-Bit process and the new M8 co-processor. Both models come equipped with outstanding 8MP iSight cameras. But owing to the larger display and extra space in the iPhone 6 Plus model,  Apple has managed to fit in an optical image stabiliser in the device. With 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options, Apple has added improvements in various aspects like LTE, connectivity options and battery life. The devices were expected reach Indian shores next month, just before Diwali, but recent reports claim a delay and a probable November launch.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with improved S-Pen

Samsung kickstarted the month by launching its trump card for the year – Galaxy Note 4. It’s the first Note phone to feature a QHD display and at 5.7 inches, the display is suitably large.  The pixel density goes from a stunning 386ppi to an astounding 515ppi. It comes with a revamped S Pen stylus that offers better grip and more functions. It can be used to resize compatible apps to use two apps simultaneously. It can be used to resize compatible apps to use two apps simultaneously. The accompanying software has been spruced up for a cleaner, dare-we-say Android L-like look. Snap Note turns photos of printed documents and text into editable text, like an OCR editor. In terms of processing speed, expect two powerful variants; one with Snapdragon 805 chipset, which brings LTE Cat 6 support and another with Samsung’s Exynos 5433 chipset and LTE Cat 4 connectivity. The Note 4 will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch and with the proprietary interface on top. Connectivity options on the Note 4 are top-of-the-line too with Wi-Fi ac, GPS with Glonass, NFC, Bluetooth v 4.1 (BLE,ANT+), IR LED, USB 2.0, and MHL 3.0.  News has it that Samsung may launch the device in India in the next two weeks, just in time for Diwali.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha

While the iPhone 6 is likely to not enter the Indian market until November. Samsung has already introduced the Galaxy Alpha, initially touted as the iPhone-killer. It closely resembles the iPhone 6 in both looks and specifications, but is priced at Rs 39,990. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box with the requisite customisations that come with a Samsung phone. It features a 4.7-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) Super AMOLED display, which is very similar to the one used in the Galaxy S3. In terms of Internet connectivity, there’s support for all important options including 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi and GPRS/ EDGE. On the inside, there’s an octa-core chipset, Samsung’s own Exynos SoC, though the exact model number is unknown. It’s a quad-core clocked at 1.8GHz and a quad-core 1.3GHz, working in the HMP mode, so all eight cores can run simultaneously, if required. The phone packs in 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal memory, though there’s no micro SD card slot. All this is powered by a rather measly 1,860 mAh battery, which is much lower than what rival phones are offering. The phone also includes a fingerprint scanner and has a removable back cover. The video camera can capture UHD 4K videos (3840 x 2160 resolution) at 30fps. The cameras include a 12MP one on the rear and a 2.1MP one on the front.

HTC Desire Series

This month, HTC took the wraps off two new smartphones – Desire 816G Dual  SIM and the Desire 820. The Desire 820 is further available in two variants. The 816G Dual SIM priced at Rs 18,990 is expected to ship next month while the Desire 820 models will most likely start shipping in November.
Desire 820, 820q

The Desire 820 is successor to the company’s Desire 816. Available in two variants – the Desire 820 is powered by Qualcomm’s 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor and the Desire 820q comes fuelled by a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. The Desire 820 features 2GB RAM while the 820q gets 1GB RAM. Sporting a  5.5-inch display with 1280×720 pixel of resolution, the Desire 820 models feature a 13-megapixel rear camera, 8 megapixel front camera, and BoomSound speakers. Both devices also support LTE connectivity. The list of specs also includes dual-SIM support, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Desire 816G Dual SIM

The Desire 816G dual SIM is said to be a cheaper version of the Desire 816 and comes with the same 5.5-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels of resolution. It is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB RAM. Some of other features include Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 6.0, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, BoomSound speakers, 8GB onboard storage, micro SD card and dual SIM support. The slew of connectivity options includes Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS with A-GPS. A 2,600 mAh battery completes the package.

Android One Phones Initiative

In a bid to change the face of budget Android market, yet again, Google announced a trio of phones under the Android One initiative in India – Spice Dream UNO Mi-498,  Karbonn Sparkle V and Micromax Canvas A1. Under Android One, devices will come with automatic backup on Google Drive, two-year software support from Google, carrier billing and more. Though, they ship with Android KitKat 4.4.4, one can expect Android L when it is released officially. Moreover, the the devices will have support for seven Indian languages including Hindi. All three device carry almost the same specs, so there’s isn’t anything exclusive about any of these devices as far as the hardware goes. Now, it all boils down to the build quality, and the design choices made by the companies. And of course, there’s the question of after-sales service, which will be handled by the brand itself and not Google. In terms of specs, one will find a 4.5-inch screen with FWVGA (854 x 480 Pixels) IPS LCD display, MediaTek SoC with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and Mali 400 GPU paired with 1GB of RAM, 5MP shooter, 2MP front camera, 4GB internal storage and microSD card of up to 32GB capacity.

Sony Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact

Last week, Sony launched its latest flagship, the Xperia Z3 smartphone at a steep Rs 51,990 price tag in India. Alongside the flagship, the company has also revealed its younger sibling Xperia Z3 Compact priced at Rs 44,990. Both water-resistant and with similar capabilities, the Z3 has a 5.2-inch display, while the Z3 Compact has a smaller 4.6-inch display. he powerful  quad-core 2.5GHz MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 with 3GB of RAM and Adreno 330 graphics means Android 4.4 KitKat should have no issues running on the Z3 even with Sony’s customisations. The Xperia Z3 is a waterproof and dust-proof device with an IP65/68 rating. Battery life should be great thanks to the 3100 mAh battery, which Sony claims offers up to 2 days of usage. It comes with either 16 or 32GB of storage which can be further expanded to up to 128GB thanks to the microSD card support. Connectivity options are top-end too, with Wi-Fi, USB on-the-go, GLONASS and NFC all packed in. Sporting a smaller 4.6-inch display, the Z3 Compact sacrifices the full HD panel for a 720p display. It eschews the metal frame of the Z3 for a lighter plastic build, while the battery is also smaller at 2,600mAh, but slightly larger than the last-gen model. Besides these distinguishing factors, both phones are identical in terms of specs. PS4 integration is also present, and the Z3 series will support the Remote Play feature, allowing you to attach a Dualshock controller and stream games from the PS4 to your mobile device.

Jolla Sailfish

This month, we also saw Finnish smartphone maker Jolla launch its Jolla Sailfish OS smartphone in India for Rs 16,499. The Jolla Sailfish OS has a 4.5-inch qHD screen with IPS panel and Gorilla Glass 2, it’s got a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system-on-chip with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, an 8 megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel front camera. The RAM is 1GB and total storage space is 16 GB along with a microSD slot, although the limit on that is not clear. In terms of connectivity it’s got WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, USB and has a 2100mAh battery with 9/10hours of talktime on GSM/3G respectively. Sensors on the smartphone are: Proximity, Accelerometer, Gyro and E-compass. Jolla is all about its gesture-based UI that is built to offer smooth navigation. The device is also compatible with Android apps. While there isn’t a dedicated Play Store, you can side-load Android apps onto your Jolla phone. The phone is available in Poppy Red, Keira Black and Aloe colours. Check out our first impressions of the Jolla  smartphone.

BlackBerry Passport

For professionals:

BlackBerry’s newest smartphone aimed at enterprise and professionals dubbed passport was unveiled globally and subsequently launched in India. It is the first smartphone to come with an unconventional 4.5-inch square-shaped touchscreen and a dedicated QWERTY keypad. The display features 1440 x 1440 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 453 dots per inch, covered by Gorilla Glass 3. Beneath the touch sensitive display, you have a dedicated QWERTY keyboard that also doubles up as a touch-sensitive swipe pad. The Passport is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC which will come with a quad-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable memory. With the square display, BlackBerry is targeting working professionals as opposed to the regular consumers whose phones have a rectangular shape – which according to BlackBerry is more geared towards consuming multimedia content rather than working. Take a look at the product demo and first impressions of the BlackBerry Passport.

Android KitKat on 24.5 percent of devices, but Jelly Bean is still king: Google

Android Kitkat is now on 24.5 percent devices.

#ANDROID
Android KitKat (version 4.4) has become the majority Android OS on Android devices like tablets, according to the latest data put out by Google on its blog.
According to the data, Android KitKat is now running on 24.5 percent of Android devices. However if you add all versions of Jelly Bean, you can see that Jelly Bean is still running on more Android devices.
The numbers of Jelly Bean are as follows: Version 4.1. is on 25.1 percent devices (higher than Android 4.4. KitKat), while 4.2. is on 20.7 percent devices and version 4.3 is running on 8 percent devices.
This data reflects devices running the latest Google Play Store app, which is compatible with Android 2.2 and higher. Each snapshot of data represents all the devices that visited the Google Play Store in the prior 7 days.
Ice-cream sandwich is on 9.6 percent devices, behind Android 2.3 which is known as Gingerbread and is running on 11.4 percent devices. It should be noted that this data reflects devices running the latest Google Play Store app, which is compatible with Android 2.2 and higher. According to Google though in August, 2013, devices running Android versions older than 2.2 accounted for about 1 percent of devices that checked in to Google servers.
The latest numbers are a big boost for Android KitKat. Previously in July 17.9 percent of devices were running Android KitKat.
Google’s Android has always faced criticism that very often users were stuck on the older versions, since OEM’s would not launch updates on time. Now it seems that this problem has been correct to some extent as a majority of users being on Jelly Bean and Android KitKat. With the launch of Android One, Google is expected to sort this out more, as it has promised that Android One phones will receive the latest updates much faster.

The 64-bit Android Question?

Are you ready for 64-bit Android?
The information that's important to those interested in jumping on the newest bandwagon to hit the Android trail. 

Apple already released the 64-bit iPhone. Was it more marketing than necessity? After all, one of the biggest benefits of 64-bit chips is the ability to make use of larger quantities of RAM -- over 4 GB, in fact. But what smartphone has over 4 GB of RAM? The applications that benefit the most from 64-bit processors are:

• Games
• Fingerprint scanning
• Facial recognition
• Speech interaction

That is where the 64-bit switch gets flipped for more users. Or at least it should. Why? The more we depend on our smartphones, the more we depend on smartphone security and ease of use. Both speech interaction and facial/fingerprint recognition will become crucial to future iterations of mobile devices. That's where 64-bit can really shine.

But as the smartphone stands (on both camps), do 64-bit chips really matter (when they aren't sold with 64-bit-worthy amounts of memory)? There are other considerations:

• Will battery life see significant improvement?
• Do we, as of yet, have applications ready to take advantage of 64-bit chips?
• Will 32-bit apps perform well on the 64-bit chips?

It's those last two questions that really have me concerned. First and foremost, when the Android 64-bit becomes available, will there be apps ready to take advantage of this? I'm certain all Google apps will shine. They have to. If Google can't have their stable of apps ready for 64-bit out of the box, the tech will fail... miserably. I have every confidence that all of the Google-branded apps will be ready to rock when the first 64-bit Android phone is launched.

But what about everyone else? How will the other millions of apps in the Google Play Store fair? When Apple first released their 64-bit iPhone, they readily admitted the 32-bit apps wouldn't fare nearly as well as they did on their native 32-bit hardware. For the past decade, mobile technology has relied on the 32-bit processor. Servers and desktops made the jump early on -- but think about the enormous number of 32-bit mobile devices that have flooded the market. Those devices will not run 64-bit apps. When the 64-bit devices come to market, if developers don't hitch a ride on the bandwagon, anyone purchasing a 64-bit Android -- thinking they are going to see unheard of performance levels -- will be seriously disappointed.

The good news? The ART runtime is already optimized to speak the 64-bit language. And Android L? You can bet it will be ready for 64-bit prime time. Ultimately, however, the question arises about whether or not you should be an early adopter. The answer to that question depends. If you're budget minded, you'll want to skip out on the early 64-bit releases. The HTC Desire 510 will be a low-end 64-bit device (powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor) that will likely see little, if any, performance over high-end 32-bit devices. It's not until you reach the Snapdragon 810-level chips that you'll see performance blow the roof. My guess is that this won't appear until the likes of the LG G4 arrives (probably May 2015). Android tablets powered by Nvidia's Tegra K1 dual-core 64-bit chip should also see some amazing speeds. These tablets should arrive before the end of 2014.

So, the best bet for users who really want to gain the most out of 64-bit architecture on Android is to wait for the first high-end devices to roll out. At that level, the performance should best just about anything available.

Are you ready for 64-bit Android? Will you drop your current device for the first 64-bit hardware when it arrives, or will you wait for something like the LG G4? Share your thoughts in the discussion thread below.
