Wireless LAN USB Adapter connecting at 11mbps instead of 54mbps or higher

Ok, the title of this post might sound like a question. But i am not asking the question instead i am going to answer it.

Alright, recently i bought Aztech Wireless Router for RM100. It supports speed up to 54mbps. When i put it live, my laptop WLAN can detect it and connect at speed of 54mbps. While i tried to connect it to some desktop PC through Aztech Wireless LAN Adapter (USB). To my supprise that the connection speed is not connected at 11mbps.  But the real speed capability of my WLAN adapter is 54mbps. So, this is the puzzle.

I have heard of this problem since earlier of this month when one of my uncle complained having the same situation as this. Now, i am the one in this situation. I love IT, so what i should do?!? Yes, just GOOGLED it out ! And yea, i found the solution.

It's very simple reason actually. connected the USB adapter to USB port in my desktop PC, but that USB port version is only 1.1 which do not support high speed as USB 2.0. This problem solved easily when i plug the adapter into USB v2 port and able to get connected at 54mbps.

If you don't know which port are USB v1.1 and which are USB v2, then try plugging in the adapter in each and every port that you have until you get connected at 54mbps.

If you still do not get connected at that speed, that means none of your USB ports are version 2.0. You must get USB v2 card and install it to your PC. That is the only option that you have if you are stubborn to get 54mbps speed.

ASP: Response.redirect (stupid function)

Hi all,

Most of ASP programmers should know that response.redirect() works fine and it is our primary option to redirect pages from one to another. But the sad story behind this function is that, it cannot be used after the server published the content to client side.

For example,
If i put

1. response.write "Hi"
   [the content generated in server]
   
   
2. response.write "Hi"
   response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
   [the content Hi is still generated by server and keep without sending to client side. Then why we write the content 'Hi' if the server do not publish it to client side? but redirects straight to somewhere.asp]
   
   
3. response.write "Hi"
   response.flush
   response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
   [the content will be published to client side. And followed by error "The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content." That is right, the header already send to the client and how to redirect now?]
   

After googling, i found alternative function: server.transfer "somewhere.asp?act=action". But if you intent to use this function, you can't post the variables which i wanted to post "act=action".

Alright, here is the fix!

Keep aside the stupid(limited) asp script and get down to highly responsive Javascript. When ASP and Javascript is put together, the magic will happen.

This is not my own idea but the idea was contributed someone in forums when i googled around. So the credit all goes to him.

As we all know,
ASP: response.redirect("somewhere.asp?act=action")
is equal to
Javascript: window.location.href = "somewhere.asp?act=action";

Agree?

If you agree, you found the fix already :)

Now lets write down this in our asp page,

1. response.write "Hi"
   response.flush
   response.write "<script>window.location.href = 'somewhere.asp?act=action';script>"
   

Tadaaaa!

ASP + Javascript = Magic

It is true, the magic happen for my case.

Thats all.

Oh ya, my next post will be about Maxis Broadband (Wireless) which said to be using 3.5G technology (HSDPA). For those who don't know the meaning of HSDPA, here is it, "High-Speed Downlink Packet Access". I will be testing the broadband today evening and implementing it to Aztech Wiress Router tomorrow at my father's office. Excited to surf using 3.5G for the first time.

Have a nice day!

Convert your .bat to .exe within few seconds...

Hi all,

First of all, i would like to say sorry for my poor english and i realize that i missed out to type many words properly in my previous blogs. The most stupid mistake that i did was typing "wit" instead of "without". So when i make this sort of mistakes, it changes the meaning of the whole sentense. I am very sorry. Please tolerate my mistakes and thank you so much for it.

Before coming to bat2exe issue, previously i had post direct download link for 6 of Harry Potter ebooks. The 7th ebook also launched "pirate" and available widely on internet. I could not share the direct download link because i downloaded the ebook from torrents (around 2mb - PDF). If you could not find it anywhere online, please feel free to drop me an email or reply to this post request for the ebook, i will email it to you because uploading pirate contents to internet is illegal (but can be shared through email because no other will know) :)

Now coming to our topic of discussion, 'bat to exe'. I assume that many basic DOS users will know to create .bat files which makes the easy way to create/copy/delete/rename folder or files. Sometimes, we can use this batch as a installer whereas it is capable of copying all files from CD/DVD to hard disk with just few lines of DOS language without need to execute anything. Although this sounds good, the bad part is, anyone can access to your .bat files and edit the script. So how to hide our scripts from being edited? How to hide our work? Easy, lets put it to EXE.

We can use converters available in the internet to conver .bat to .exe but the issue here is, how far actually your script is save? Some complain that they still can open the .exe file in notepad and access the script.

The best solution i found online is the wonderful simple freeware called "Bat To Exe Converter" by f2ko. It is superb. The script can be secured. Besides you can include icon and version description/author information which will make your new .exe file look exactly as an application. The most interesting part is the "Ghost" option which the application has to make your .bat works without DOS window. Sounds interesting, by this you can hide the real news that your file was actually designed in batch format.

You can read more about the software at : www.f2ko.de
Or download it at : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Batch-To-Exe-Converter.shtml

I benefited from using this software because recently i wrote batch file to backup database for the company i working for. So to make it like a professional application, i used the converter and included version, author, my company name, and company logo as icon which made the application look wonderful executeable file.

This is all for today.

Will blog about something else later...

Have a nice day !

Little bit about FLV movie format

oHi all,

Something new this time. Rather than talking about hardware or software, lets get down more detailed on a movie format. I am sure many of you know the classic movie format such as MPG/MPEG4 or AVI and also Windows's own movie format WMV. But how many of you guys are aware of NEW movie format that tackle almost 50% of internet's movie website? Most online streaming video providers are now facing force of technology to roll back their stupid WMV or RM (Real Player Movie) online streaming videos to replace with new FLV format. FLV refers to Flash Video format. This is wonderful and i promise you that this is much stable that RM (Real Player Movie) and 10 times better than the Window's stupid WMV which never stable for most users including me. FLV became famous as the YouTube managed to crack the world with their online video clip streaming capability which never as stupid as other online streamers because they are not using WMV or RM but eventually using FLV. FLV is Flash compactible and works with flash plugin to control the move time (including rewind/forwarding the movie).

And the good news is that This FLV player do not force you to install Real Player or Windows Media Player or Apple QuickTime but it works stable wit any additional softwares except Flash Plugin. If you web browser can load and play flash (SWF) then it can also load this FLV movies online and stream it live. The example site are YouTube.com and DailyMotion.com.

But somehow, if you managed to download those FLV files because some people prefer to keep the video files offline in their hard disk to use it anytime without need of internet connection then you will need to install a local player in your computer to play the FLV files. If you have no idea on how to download the streaming videos from YouTube or Google or DailyMotion? Then i suggest you to visit : http://keepvid.com/ which will definately help you by providing straight link to download the streaming video into FLV format.

After you download into your hard disk, you can't access it that so fast. No software in your computer will support this new type of video format even the Real Player and Windows Media Player also cannot play this format. There are several software players available for you to play FLV including FLVPlayer and nFLVplayer. I had tried them both and also other software. But all of them do not make me happy because i cannot have PLAYLIST to play many movies continuesly and also they provide me poor quality of video.

The best accidental shot that i gave was installing K-Lite Codecs. I did not install it for FLV but i just wanted my notebook to be having all the latest Audio/Video codecs as i can work better on encoding and decoding. This K-Lite codecs definately suprised me as they came with FLV Codec which has the capability of playing this FLV movies in good quality(the original FLV quality) even in full screen and the best part of it that they do provide PLAYLIST for me to play the movies continuosly. The software that attached together with k-lite codec version 3.01 is Media Player Classic. This player is really classy!!! Believe me, this player worth of using it as it is free open source and preforms very good in player all(or most i could say) movie/audio formats including Divx, AVI, MPEG4, VCD, DAT, MPG, RM, WMV, FLV, and many many more. They can be classified as UNIVERSAL MEDIA PLAYER. They provide full pack of codecs which makes our pc up to date.

Now my comment is download K-Lite Codecs (latest version up to now is 3.20) to play most audio/video format including FLV which is latest format that cracking down internet world. Use Keepvid.com to download streaming movies from YouTube, DailyMotion, Google and many more website.

Good luck all. FLV worth of downloading as it is more compact size compare to other video format and it will give you a compatitive quality. Ok then. Until my next blog, bye all.

ADSL Router connecting error

Hi,

Many of ADSL users know how to setup own broadband connection in windows networking connections menu. This is simple and easy when they use Simple ADSL Modem (NOT Router). But if later you brough a Router, you will be freaked off that Windows Networking Connections won't help you to connect to the broadband internet. You will probably get error like this "The remote computer is not responding". This do not mean your router not working but you are lack in doing the right connection setting. All you need to is login to the Router's Web Interface to edit the settings. To do this, you must login to the Router web interface through an IP Address. Open Internet explorer and goto IP Address as writen in Router's user manual. Most often it will be : 192.168.1.1 (so the web interface URL is : http://192.168.1.1/). Just goto that address and login.

After login, you will see a word such as WIZARD. Click on the WIZARD and do the setting as guided by the Wizard itself. After the wizard is done, you no longer need windows connection to go internet, when ever you turn on your router, you will be online immediately as the router itself will dial-up to the broadband and keep the connnection active.

If in case you don't wish to have your internet always on with that new router and better wish to use Windows Connection to connect and disconnect from internet manually, then you just need to BRIDGE the connection. This means the Router will now not automatically connect to the internet and will disable the build-in dialer. While it will fully demand on Windows Networking COnnection to connect/disconnect from internet. In the router's web interface, search for an option called CONNECTION TYPE. By default it will be "PPPoE/PPPoA", change it to BRIDGE. Then just use your Windows dialer to connect and disconnect from internet as previously.

Note: a Router is not an ADSL modem but it is having advance feature to break through the classic ADSL Modem. So when you no longer need a router but just need an ADSL modem, then simply you can turn it to be a BRIDGE which means the Router just act just as an ADSL Modem which will turn off your hassle of messying up with the Router settings.

Recently, one of D-Link Router which has an advance ADSL feature and named as D-LINK ROUTER ADSL+2. This is more advance and our Malaysia Streamyx Home-User broadband is not as advance as it looks like. So if you brought an ADSL+2 ROUTER then you probably will have the error in router showing Router Connection Status as "CONNECTING" but it never connect to internet. The status will remain as Connecting. Haha, this is definately because your router having advance setting ADSL+2. This setting would have different values for PVC, VPI and VCI. And you need to set it back to our classic ADSL setting. Here is the value that your Router suppose to have:
(In Router's Web Interface, Go to the WAN settings and adjust this values...)

1) PVC : Pvc0
2) VPI : 0
3) VCI : 35

After doing editing this changes to the right value, save the setings. Restart your router and it will work prefectly right! You can see your status as "Connected" and able to surf the internet. Enjoy... by the way, you are always welcome to catch me if you need any assistant in setting your Router.
