How To Block Internet Access Using Wi-Fi Router

I’m a bachelor staying with my four colleagues. We share internet through Wi-Fi router (iBall Baton). Major problem of sharing internet connection with limited bandwidth is access speed. When my roommates are downloading, the access speed decreases drastically such that I can’t even check my email account. For this, daily I have to request them to stop downloading for a while. This is worst, when they are sleeping or when they are not at home. I have to go and stop their downloading personally.

For this I have found a solution, blocking their access temporary using Wi-Fi router (iBall Baton) parental control function. I’m happy to share this tips with all guys facing similar problems and also to parents to block internet access.

Type '192.162.1.1' in browser address bar and press 'Enter'. A window will appear asking username and password. Default username and password is 'admin'. Type username and password. Then click 'ok' or press 'enter'. The router page will open.

Click on 'parental control' and new page will open.

Click 'copy to above' and then your MAC address of your PC will move to 'MAC address of parental PC' block. Then select 'enable' and click 'save'.

Now job is done. Here on wards only you will get internet access. To normalise only you have to select 'disable' and click 'save'.

How to Boot and Install windows OS from flash drive

When my third CD player stopped to work I started to think why my PC requires it? Then I understood that I have kept CD player only for booting and installing windows OS. So I have decided to create a flash drive or pen drive by which I can boot and install windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. So, I have tried various methods and here I will explain best method among them.

To do this you require,

1) USB pen drive that is at least 4 GB.

      2)  A windows installation CD, DVD or .iso disc image file.

      3)  A free application called WinToFlash.

Download latest version of WinToFlash and install on your PC. Then running the setup file following screen will appear.

From ‘advance mode’ choose your task and click ‘create’

Select the source path of windows installation disc or image file and pen drive.

Best Five Android Games

Android market is known for their addictive games. But as natural there is an end to all. And when the game completes all levels users usually lose all interest and have to unkindly delete the favorite game they spent so much time to learn and perfect.. But what if the game that you love and play don't make you boring by playing same level again and again. Let's take a look at some Android games that we can sink into and kill some time with.

1. Pool Master Pro

This game is one of the best mobile pool I have ever played. The physics is not perfect but realistic. I play this a lot especially when I am alone. So don't think that pool has multiplayer mode. Latest update comes with single player, multiplayer and arcade modes.  Games come and go for me, but this one have always stayed.

2. Stick Cricket

This is the best cricket game in the android market. The design and graphics is worth to download. What a great way to kill time and so much fun. Different opponents make it interesting and it doesn't  ask much of your concentration and patience.

3. Tiny Robots

This game is a simple, but really good for time pass. It has tiny robot which continuously fire when game begins, we just have to adjust the position or location of tiny robot by moving your mobile. It’s easy but really interesting when higher levels where new weapons are available and powerful enemy emerges.

4. Jewel Stars

Good effects and sound stimulate the gamer in you. Simply awesome and sometimes you won't believe that it's a free game. Jewel Stars need both skill and intelligence. 

5. Paper Toss

Paper toss is a combination of fun and time pass. I love to play paper toss for hours and not realize where the time has gone.
