The WiMax 2 high-speed wireless technology, which is expected to boost download speeds for mobile devices, is set to become a standard by early next year, according to an industry group.

On Monday, the WiMax Forum said that 802.11m, the key technology within WiMax 2, is expected to be standardised by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in November. Formal approval by the IEEE Standards Association is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, with device certification coming in late 2011.

The 802.16m update should help WiMax 2 deliver download speeds of up to 120Mbps and provide lower latency than the first version of WiMax.

WiMax 2 is a competitor to LTE, the "long-term evolution" of the 3G standard used for mobile phone and other wireless communications. Because LTE has a much greater take-up within the UK and other Western countries, WiMax is unlikely to see a UK-wide mobile rollout. Nevertheless, long-range WiMax could serve a "substantial niche market" in the UK, according to a key industry backer.

The UK government has plans for a 4G spectrum auction at the end of 2011. Both the 800MHz and 2.6GHz sections of the spectrum will be for sale, and both will be usable by WiMax or LTE.

A report released in April by IDC found that spending on LTE is set to eclipse the total spent on WiMax deployments by the end of 2011.

However, the upcoming WiMax update does have some heavyweight backers. In April, a group of major players in the mobile industry teamed up to create the WiMax 2 Collaboration Initiative (WCI). Intel, Motorola, Samsung and others want the WCI to work with the WiMax Forum to increase interoperability of devices and equipment based on the fledgling standard.

In addition, the existing WiMax technology has made inroads into the market outside of the UK. Last year, Japanese company UQ communications received a £27m cash infusion, courtesy of Intel's venture-capital arm, to provide broad WiMax coverage to most of Japan by 2012. WiMax service is also provided by US carriers Clearwire and Sprint, and it is popular in the developing world.

Run...
First you'll need to take down some IP information so if you don't have something to write with open up notepad.

Click on the Start Menu then select Run. A window like this one should appear. In this window type "command" and press enter.
#
Step 2
IP Information

A black DOS screen should appear. Type "ipconfig /all" in the DOS prompt and press enter. All your IP information should generate. This is a helpful command to know if you ever have to find your IP address or other info about your internet connection.

Be sure to write down your IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and both DNS servers. After your are done type "exit" and press enter to exit the DOS window.
(Note: If both DNS server addresses are the same then they are just proxy numbers used by your router and you will have to either log onto your router status page or call your ISP and ask for your DNS or Name server addresses.)

#
Step 3
Network Connections

Now click "Start" and open up the "Control Panel." Select "Network Connections" and right click on the connection you use and select "Properties."

#
Step 4
Internet Properties

A window like this one should appear. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click on Properties.

#
Step 5
TCP/IP Properties before

A window like the one pictured will pop up. "Obtain an IP address automatically," should be selected. If it isn't then congratulations, you have a static IP already.
Select "Use the following IP address." Enter the following:

IP Address -- Type in the IP address you wrote down but change the last digit to a number between 1 and 255. For example, if your IP address is "192.168.1.1" you would enter "192.168.1.11" or "192.168.1.101"
Subnet Mask / Default Gateway -- Enter these exactly as you copied them down.

#
Step 6
TCP/IP Properties after

TCP/IP Properties after

Next click "Use the following DNS server addresses" and add the DNS servers you copied down or found in your router settings.

After you've entered all the information your screen should look something like the picture to the bottom

#
Step 7

Now make sure you can connect to the internet and congratulations! You now have a static IP address!
If you can't connect to the internet the most common problem is the DNS servers. Make sure your DNS servers are correct. If you can't find your router settings just call your ISP and they should be able to give you your DNS or Name Servers. DNS can be the gateway of the router and/ or your isp,s dns servers or {googles dns servers (8.8.8.8 )(8.8.4.4)}

I have extensively used dd-wrt for a fairly long period of time. More precisely I would put it in between somewhere 2-3 years. The last version that I had used was dd-wrt v24 Special Edition SP1. I really had no complaints. My router a Linksys WRT54-GL v1.1 remained stable even at the highest usage times. There were rarely any crashes. It made my router extremely secure, especially with options such as using https protocol to log onto the router, option to limit logging into the router as admin only via ethernet connection, hence disabling any traffic sniffer to be able to log on to your router via wireless connection and changing access levels to his/her liking.

But what brought about my interest in Tomato was when I was searching for a way to record the logs to an external mySQL server through rflow. I got rflow working to the point where it was receiving all the netflow information and showing it to me in a nice graph or list view.

I feel rflow is too hyped up to be more than what it is. I wish there were tools more extensive that could use the information being sent through the router and elegantly show number of bytes being used by a connection, activity being performed on the connection and henceforth. Maybe rflow does have that option somewhere in there and I just haven’t been patient enough to look for it. Regardless I still feel there is a need for a better netflow software tool for the routers.

Whilst searching for a more robust netflow tool for my router I came across Tomato. The reviews were off the chart. The most prominent difference what I can feel, sense, observe is the faster connection speeds I am experiencing. Webpages are loading much more faster, and QOS is working like the way it should.

The setup was really easy, even moving up from a dd-wrt to a Tomoto firmware was seamless. It didn’t break anything. I found the layout of the configuration page so much more refreshing and far less overwhelming. The graphs are a pleasant addition to the whole firmware, where they show you different options such as real-time monitoring, last 24 hours, daily, weekly and monthly options.
The QOS on this firmware is just amazing. I have 2 laptops running vuze downloads, watching YouTube, browsing the Internet, chatting on MSN Messenger and everything is running without a hiccup. No single laptop is sucking up all the bandwidth, the router is distributing the requests efficiently and effortlessly.
In all honesty at the time of this writing (06/23/2009): I have only had the router running for less tha 72 hours. But the last 72 hours have proven to be promising. I think I am going to indefinitely stick to Tomato until the next better firmware comes around.

On a side note I still haven’t found a netflow software to my liking that would work with Tomato.

Update (06/23/2010): It has now been almost 12 months since my installation of Tomato and its still going strong with ZERO hiccups. I have never had to worry about resetting the router.

A wireless network uses radio waves, such as mobile phones, televisions and radios. In fact, communication across a wireless network is a bit like two-way radio communications. Here’s what happens:

1. A computer on the wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits through an antenna.
2. A wireless router receives the signal and decodes. The router sends information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection.This process also works in reverse, with the router receiving information from the Internet, translating it into a radio signal and send it to your wireless adapter. Radios used for WiFi communication are very similar to those used for walkie-talkie radios, cell phones and other devices. They can send and receive radio waves, and they can convert 1s and 0s into radio waves and convert the radio waves in 1 and 0 But WiFi radios have some notable differences from other radios:

* They transmit at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. This frequency is much higher than the frequencies used for cellular phones, walkie-talkies and televisions. Increase the frequency of the signal can carry more data.
* They use 802.11 networking standards that are in several variants:
o 802.11a transmit at 5 GHz and up to 54 megabits of data per second. He also uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), a more efficient coding technique that splits the radio signal into several sub-signals before they reach a receiver. This reduces interference.
o 802.11b is the slowest and least expensive standard. For a time, has seen its costs, but it is now less common for a faster cheaper. 802.11b transmit in the frequency band 2.4 GHz radio spectrum use. It can handle up to 11 megabits of data per second, and using additional code before (CCK) to improve the speed of modulation.
o 802.11g transmit at 2.4 GHz like 802.11b, but it is much faster - it can handle up to 54 megabits of data per second. 802.11g is faster because it uses the same OFDM coding as 802.11a.
o The new 802.11n standard, which is widely available. This standard significantly improves speed and range. For instance, although 802.11g theoretically moves 54 megabits of data per second, making real-world speeds of around 24 megabits of data per second because of congestion in the network. 802.11n, however, allegedly can reach speeds as high as 140 megabits per second. The standard is currently in draft - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) plans to formally ratify 802.11n by the end of 2009.
* Other 802.11 standards focus on applications of wireless networks such as wide-area network (WAN) in vehicles or technology that allows you to switch from one wireless network to another without problems.
* WiFi radios can transmit on any of three frequency bands. Or they can “frequency hop” rapidly between the different bands. Frequency hopping reduces interference and allows multiple devices to use the same wireless connection simultaneously.
