In the IT-network<\/span> very often much potential<\/span> is wasted<\/span>: in a homezone as well as in the Web, you<\/span> can use<\/span> little tricks<\/span> and adjustments<\/span> to significantly improve<\/span> functionality and comfort.<\/span> Here are some hints where you can tune:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1.\u00a0<\/span> LAN<\/span> bookmarks<\/span> in the browser<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nSome important<\/span> devices in the local<\/span> network<\/span> offer their<\/span> configuration interface<\/span> via a web server<\/span>, which is accessible in the browser<\/span>: this includes routers, repeaters<\/span>, NAS, media server or<\/span> network printer.<\/span> Put<\/span> in the<\/span> browser of your choice<\/span> its own<\/span> bookmark folder<\/span> for this<\/span> local<\/span> addresses that<\/span> you call<\/span> as \"<\/span>local\" or \"<\/span>LAN\".
\nIn this<\/span> bookmark folder<\/span> you<\/span> put all<\/span> important IP addresses<\/span> by drag and drop<\/span> from the address bar<\/span>. In order to<\/span> achieve<\/span> the<\/span> future<\/span> configuration<\/span> of all these<\/span> devices<\/span> in one click.<\/span> The prerequisite is<\/span> that the IP<\/span> address<\/span> is constant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2.<\/span> High-speed<\/span> data transmission<\/span> even far away<\/span> from the router<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\nPlacement of the router<\/span> is often<\/span> dictated by<\/span> the location<\/span> of the splitter<\/span> or<\/span> DSL modem<\/span> and<\/span> therefore<\/span> difficult to optimize<\/span> even in unfavorable<\/span> situation.<\/span> If you are<\/span> in another room<\/span> require<\/span> optimal throughput<\/span> in<\/span> apparent<\/span> distance<\/span>, wireless, even with repeater becomes<\/span> only<\/span> an unsatisfactory<\/span> compromise.<\/span> Convincing<\/span> -<\/span> and<\/span> without<\/span> much<\/span> effort, <\/span>two<\/span> Powerline adapters<\/span> can solve the problem.<\/span> Although the<\/span> throughput<\/span> in the power grid<\/span> is well below the<\/span> theoretical<\/span> 200<\/span> or 500<\/span> Mbit<\/span> \/ s<\/span>, but that's not the point: The<\/span> equipments at the end<\/span> of the current bridge<\/span> are connected<\/span> by cable<\/span> -<\/span> either via the<\/span> integrated switch<\/span> of the<\/span> Powerline adapter<\/span> or<\/span> via a separate<\/span> Switch.<\/span> The transmission rate <\/span>then reaches<\/span> at least Fast<\/span> Ethernet<\/span> speed<\/span> (usually<\/span> well over 100<\/span> Mbit<\/span> \/ s)<\/span>, and<\/span> so you<\/span> also stream<\/span> Blu<\/span>-ray data rates<\/span> with no problem<\/span> from A to B.<\/span><\/p>\n4.<\/span> Useful<\/span> NET command<\/span> on the command line (Windows)<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nThe<\/span> Net<\/span> command<\/span> in<\/span> the command prompt<\/span> is a very<\/span> useful tool<\/span> for many<\/span> network tasks<\/span>. After starting the<\/span> \"Run\"<\/span> dialogue<\/span> with Win<\/strong><\/span>-R<\/strong> you get with<\/span> cmd \/<\/span> k<\/span> net<\/span> <\/strong>use<\/strong> all<\/span> local<\/span> network connections<\/span>, with<\/span> cmd \/<\/span> k<\/span> net<\/span> <\/strong>share<\/strong> all<\/span> releases<\/span> of the current computer<\/span>.
