Most routers will check for new firmware, but few of them do this automatically—you typically need to at least click a button on the router’s configuration app. Turn off your gateway (unplug the power supply if there’s no on/off switch). If an ethernet cable is plugged into the gateway’s LAN port, unplug it and plug it into your router’s WAN port (once again, some routers have dedicated WAN and LAN ports; others have auto-sensing ports). If there is no ethernet cable plugged into the gateway’s LAN port, an ethernet cable should have come with your router.
He primarily covers exoplanets, spaceflight and military space, but has been known to dabble in the space art beat.

Amazingly, the videos all played, and the gaming experience was subjectively almost indistinguishable from the baseline. A recent speed upgrade from our ISP to 60 Mbps proved a challenge for the test as we now needed to congest the network to compromise the game. We decided to do this with background streaming video from YouTube, and it took five streams of 4K video and an additional 1080p video for good measure, which was about 60 Mbps. This saturated our download bandwidth, essentially leaving the game with 5 to 8 Mbps of over-provisioning from the cable connection. Now that we have our computer connected and the ISP issues worked out, we turn our attention to further optimizations that can be done to the network. The two points of intervention are at the router, and at the computer’s network interface card (NIC). Today’s immersive games, including first person shooters and MMORPGs, rely on a continuous flow of data back and forth to create a fluid and seamless experience.
- The Cisco IOS Firewall inspects all the traffic on the control channel and opens pinholes to allow dynamically negotiated data and media channels.
- We like GSM Arena’s Network Coverage database, which is relatively current compared to many of the outdated options you’ll find in a quick search.
- For example, some users can be added to a report-only policy that will allow administrators to understand the impact before moving that user to a higher enforcement level.
- The packets are enqueued to the appropriate queue per the default initial configuration.
- You define a list of trusted entities that can access your resources, and the service remains unavailable to everyone that’s not on the list.
Similar efforts have been achieved in South Africa through a messaging application, MomConnect, a mobile messaging platform integrated with a national pregnancy registry and a help desk for questions and feedback. Poor infrastructure, perceived irrelevance, affordability and readiness have been the major contributing factors to the slow internet penetration in Africa. However, the ongoing transformation supported by the existing data indicates that some of the factors may no longer be the reason for the state of internet connectivity. African countries are realizing the importance of internet connectivity in improving the socio-economic lives of its citizens.

In order to control access checks, we need logged-in users’ roles and permissions. In real-world applications, there are a couple of ways to get and set the users’ roles and permissions from your server API. Now, considering the same topology, we will make a named extended access list. By following these steps and considering the specific needs of your network, you can confidently configure your Cisco router to deliver optimal performance, security, and functionality for your organization or home network. Consult Cisco’s documentation and security guidelines for detailed instructions on configuring security features specific to your router model and firmware version. By configuring VLANs on your Cisco router, you are enhancing network security, improving performance, and enabling more efficient network management within your network environment.
