  9. Once you’ve located the printer, choose that printer by clicking on its listing so that it is highlighted, and then click on the Add button.
    • Another window may be displayed listing additional options on your printer that it has detected. To make sure these options are included so you can take full advantage of them, select those options by clicking on the check box next to them and clicking the Continue button.
    • You’ll be returned to the Print & Fax window, and your printer will be listed in the Printers list.
  10. If the printer you just added is listed as your default printer, you can change the default printer by selecting a different printer from the Default Printer drop-down list.

Windows Defender Windows Defender is Microsoft’s proprietary anti-malware tool that is used in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by default. At the time of its creation, it used to be rather cropped and ineffective, which caused an outpouring of criticism. However, it has been seriously improved since then, so in 2019, it has much to be loved for. Especially, because it became one of the best free Antivirus in its segment. As of today, it is a full-featured antivirus product that provides strong malware protection and some useful extras. It is highly estimated by the world’s leading AV testing labs (though Avast free still scores higher ). Windows Defender detects and removes almost 100% of cyber threats without a heavy impact on the system performance. At the same time, the Defender still lacks some important features offered by top antivirus suites. Also, its performance is not completely flawless, especially when it comes to false positives. Finally, Microsoft doesn’t offer ...

Subnet        The main purpose of subnetting is to help relieve network congestion. Congestion used to be a bigger problem than it is today because it was more common for networks to use hubs than switches. When nodes on a network are connected through a hub, the entire network acts as a single collision domain. Partitioning a single network can help relieve network congestion and increase security If you work inside a large organisation or business, particularly one spread across multiple branches, it's highly likely that it deploys a subnet. A subnetting, or subnetworking, is the process of splitting a single large network into two or more strands. This means that an otherwise mammoth and unwieldy network can be subdivided into smaller, more localised networks. First, a look at IP addresses IP addresses are comprised of a 32-bit number with values ranging from zero to 4294967295, split into four octets. In order for it to be...

1. Purchase an Ethernet cable tester. There are many models you can purchase. Make sure it has a   battery in it and power it on. 2. Plug one end of the cable into the transmit jack. The transmit jack on the tester maybe be labeled "TX".   3.Plug the other end of the cable into the receiver jack.The receiver jack may be labeled "RX" on the device. Some testers have a detachable receiver you can use to test the cable across different rooms. 4 . Check the lights on the tester. Most testers will have 2 sets of 8 LED lights that correspond to the 8 pins on the transmitting and receiving end of the Ethernet cable. There will also be a G light for the ground. It will test each pin one at a time. If all 8 pins light up on both ends, the cable is good. If any of the lights do not light up on either end, this indicates a short in the cable. Don't worry if the G light doesn't light up. If the lights on either end flash out of order, this ...
