If you have questions about your internet or WiFi speed, call 360-321-TECH (8324). Remember that all the devices in your home share bandwidth-when you conduct a speed test, any device in use will affect the result. You can download the desktop app for free on your computer or mobile device, or access it on our website. You can use it to check both your WiFi and wired connection we recommend checking both. If your network appears slow, try running a speed test. These are both free programs that can be installed on your computer to assist you in removing Spyware and malware. Many of our customers use Malwarebytes or SpyBot Search & Destroy. There are several programs available to help manage and remove malware from your computer. Always run internet security software, and never open email links or attachments from an unknown source. These programs download to your computer and lurk in the background. If this is the case, the spyware could be connecting to the internet without your knowledge and hogging your bandwidth. ![]() Viral programs like malware and spyware will also slow down your connection. Unlike stand-alone routers that lose signal the farther you move away from them, mesh stations piggyback on one another to create a continuous wireless link throughout your home. By connecting all these access points together, you scale up the load your bandwidth can carry. If you are trying to push a lot of data to a lot of devices over an old WiFi router, we recommend looking into a mesh network like our HOP WiFi. A mesh network is basically a system of multiple WiFi access points that work together to blanket every corner of your home with a strong wireless connection. Like your devices, older routers will slow down your connection. If your router is more than three or four years old, it’s probably time to think about buying a new one. Or remove that old computer or device from your WiFi network and only sign on when you are actively using it. With new technology coming out every day, we recommend upgrading your hardware every few years. Your home network is only as strong as its weakest link. It’s possible for older devices on a network to slow things down for everyone else, even with a newer modem. Older computers, laptops, and mobile devices with slower processors could be putting the brakes on your connection. ![]() Be mindful of the number of people and devices accessing your network. It’s not unusual for your speeds to come down at night when everyone at home finishes dinner and starts streaming Netflix at the same time. More people online means everyone is more likely to experience slow speeds. Some of these devices – like cameras or 4K TVs – consume a lot of bandwidth. Each of these devices connects to your internet network either through WiFi or a hardwire connection. From doorbell cameras to Google Home Minis to smart locks-our homes are increasingly filled with the Internet of Things devices. The term “Internet of Things” is used to describe all the devices in your home that use an internet connection to exchange data. Wired vs. WirelessĪ hardwired connection will always beat WiFi. Wherever possible, use an ethernet cable to connect devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, smart speakers, etc. This isn’t always possible, but when it is you’ll see a massive difference. Add in some lane closures – like older devices running updates or back-ups – and your speed is further reduced. Think of it like traffic on the highway. During rush hour when there’s a lot of traffic, the cars travel slower than usual. This is the same for your internet connection. Congestion is caused when everyone in your home is accessing the internet at the same time. Every device on your network decreases your bandwidth a portion, especially over WiFi. Nowadays it feels like everything connects to the internet in some way-from computers and smartphones to baby monitors and security cameras. All these devices in your home share your bandwidth. ![]() ![]() ![]() For NASA TV streaming video, downlink and schedule information, visit:ĭaily news conferences with STS-134 mission managers will take place at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

How do I use this free printable picture schedule for preschool? This free printable picture schedule for preschool is customizable too! One way we can help children with transitions, behavioral expectations, and even separation anxiety is to have a visual schedule available. Transitions are by far the time when teachers notice the most disruptive and defiant behavior, and it’s not because children are naughty, it is because children aren’t prepared for the transition. These are fantastic tools for children to understand what to expect and to prepare for transitions. A visual schedule for those of you new to this term is simply a schedule that is made up of pictures. As a teacher, I have used visual schedules in the past, but for whatever reason, I haven’t used a visual schedule in my current classroom. I get very excited when a discussion in the No Time For Flash Cards community about how to create a peaceful classroom environment brought up the idea of visual schedules aka picture schedules. ![]() ![]() First of all, Xender is free and doesn’t have a paid pro variant. Xender is kind-of like AirDroid with similar functionalities but entirely different architecture and business model. Ideal if you want notification sync, mirroring notifications along with file transfer. The Android app is full of shady app suggestions and ads.Highly capped transfer speed in the free variant.File transfer gets highly limited to 200 Mb in remote file transfer.The free variant doesn’t have an encrypted connection.Displays phone storage information and other statistics on the web app.This way, your file size gets capped and AirDroid can push the premium variant. Once, you sign-in the connection drops back to remote mode even though it’s on LAN. If you use the barcode scanner to connect the devices on the LAN, AirDroid would always show a pop-up saying the connection is not encrypted and you need to sign-in. As soon as you move to a different Wi-Fi network, AirDroid caps the file transfer limit to 30 Mb and a daily transfer limit to 200 Mb.ĪirDroid still makes use of a cloud server so it makes sense that there’s a size cap but here’s where it gets cheeky. AirDroid seems like an ideal Pushbullet alternative if you resort only to the LAN. In addition to the files, you can also share clipboard data, control your mobile camera, view files, take screenshots, etc. Post that, you would see the AirDroid web interface where you can access your Android phone’s images, videos, contacts, etc. You would be presented with the IP address and the port number that you have to enter on your PC’s web browser. Next, open the app and tap on the “AirDroid Web” link.

Ideal for a quick transfer between multiple devices in a home Wi-Fi network, Snapdrop doesn’t work on mobile network.Works on most of the browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.The only drawback of Snapdrop is that it doesn’t work on mobile data. In fact, I use it to transfer files to my Android TV as well. Snapdrop is a cross-platform device and works on any device that has a browser. There’s no central or cloud server involved. This basically means that the data is shared directly between your Android and Windows PC. Snapdrop works on a peer-to-peer architecture. It works only within your Wi-Fi but provides fast transfer speeds. Snapdrop is the most easiest and minimal file transfer app. ![]() Best Android File Transfer Apps to Windows 1. So, here’s the list for the best Android file transfer apps from Android to Windows PC. So, foremost I needed a file transfer app that doesn’t have a file limit and in addition to that, faster transfer speeds. You can always use Google Drive but it significantly increases the transfer times and not to forget it only works on an active internet connection. Other file transfer apps like Feem, File Explorer+ are often slow.

The result contributes enough new content to make the experience worthwhile for Castle of Illusion veterans, while also ensuring a consistent gameplay flow for newcomers. Sega Studios Australia deviates little from Castle of Illusion's structure, capturing the spirit of the original game while adding its own embellishments when needed. Originally released for the Sega Genesis in 1991, Castle of Illusion boasted exceptional graphics, memorable challenges, and a satisfying difficulty curve, earning it a spot among the best Disney-licensed platformers. Castle of Illusion is both a great remake and a showcase for the key elements that make up a successful platformer. Sega's HD update of Castle of Illusion throws the failings of Disney's recent platformers into sharp relief, exposing the pitfalls of brand-driven remakes while demonstrating a love and reverence for its source material. More recently, DuckTales: Remastered attempted to add more character to Capcom's beloved classic with frequent cutscenes, trampling the perfect pacing of the original game. 2012's Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion for the Nintendo 3DS cited direct inspiration from Sega's 16-bit classic, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, but its gameplay was burdened with endless dialogue and ill-fitting Disney cameos. Modern-day developers of Disney platformers often lean heavily on the license in the hopes of repeating previous successes, but their attempts have come up short. This approach may not sit well with brand managers today, but it made for great video games. The reality is that many memorable platformers – including DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, and yes, Castle of Illusion – took severe liberties with Disney's characters and canon, leading to unexpected innovation. ![]() As recent efforts demonstrate, however, licensing is only a small part of the equation. Microsoft recently added Castle of Illusion to its list of backward compatible Xbox 360 titles that play on Xbox One.Longtime video game fans speak fondly of the "Disney magic" that made for great platformers throughout the '80s and '90s. ![]() It’s currently being sold for $14.99 on the PlayStation Store, Steam and Xbox Games Store.
