Internet Tips
Wireless Network interuptions
Is your wireless internet in your home giving you fits. Does your internet get disconnected for no apparent reason? If you have a cordless phone check to see if it is a 2.4 GHZ phone. A wireless router uses the same frequency as the 2.4 GHZ phones which means that if your phone is close to the router the phone will interfere with the router and you will loose your connection every time someone is on the phone.
The solution is to buy a new 6 GHZ phone. The are a 0 interference phone and it could solve your problem as it did mine.
Beware!!! There is a company out there on the internet that is trying to force people to bur their product by misleading them. The site is moviepass.com. You will be offered a free 3 day trial of their software for downloading movies. It is very common for a company to offer a free trial of their software or service for a period of time. Normally after that time the software will no longer work and you will be asked to buy the program or remove it. Moviepass.com how ever does things differently. After their 3 day trial offer you will start getting a warning and a video appear every time you log onto the internet. It will also appear about every hour also wasting about a minute of you time while you listen to a video telling you that since you did not cancel the trial offer you are now obligated to buy their software. Under the Program Files directory there will be a directory fsupport. Delete this folder and all the files in it then create an empty file (not a directory) using any program and name it fsupport. You may have to rename it to remove the extension such as fsupport.doc. Once this is done you will no longer be bugged by the popup message from moviepass.com
