Q. I am wanting to get a baby video monitor and the one I was interested in (Summer slim one) has so many bad reviews. I found one on ebay but I have never heard of the brand. Here is the link to the auction:

Has anyone heard of this brand? Or do you have one like this? If so, what would you say about it? Is it a good monitor?
Thank you!
Another question, what does 2.4GHz mean?

Another question, what does 2.4GHz mean?
A. There is no name brand, wireless is very ambiguous. I'd be wary of those 2.4GHz, systems there is no mention of encryption of the signal to the base from the camera. Since anyone with a similar receiver can view the signal if it is indeed not encrypted in some way. You should ask the seller to confirm. Also if you have a cordless phone you should check if that runs on the same radio frequency. Because possible interference might occur. If you are willing you can spend a little bit more and if have a recent wireless router you can get a wireless network camera, such as this http://www.dlink.com/category/productcategories/?cid=7 Which would be encrypted signal, could view on a computer or smartphone, and even on the internet via a private website mydlink.com. I've purchase a D-Link network camera over 10 years ago for the very same reason, to monitor my baby. Now that my babys are no longer babys I still use it to monitor my home when I am away.
monitoring my computer activities?
Q. someone has been monitoring my activities on my computer..he has been stalking on me and i hate it when he would just kick me off fr my chat same time as he would kick off my chatmate at any moment. please advise wht to do. i found out tht he has been tracking me to the highest degree..
A. Listen, you need to use a hardware device to ensure your privacy and stop those who would do what this A-Hole is doing right now. I suggest you look into getting a good Router with a firewall with WPA encryption. This is a great method of keeping others out of your business. Now, you could go one step further and attach a safety device like here: http://www.iphantom.com
Now, there are many differant setups you can choose from these days which would keep your home computer or home network just as safe as a baby in its bed at home. I suggest you Goggle devices for creating supreme privacy. It is so worth the money spent on these devices. There are software versions but I highly reccomend the hardware ones. The hardware ones do not run the risk of gettng currupted or need to be installed on your computer. The hardware devices are used as easily and plug in and hook into a power source. They set between your computer and the world wide web. They will encrypt all your data leaving your computer including from all chat forums, IE messengers, e-mail, file transfer, and chat rooms. It also stops all viruses, worms, trojans, remote access, spyware, keyloggers, etc.
Talk to your parents if you are under age about needing this type of security. Every home computer and home network needs this type of security now. If we all get this stuff the A-Holes out there will just have to give up all their little nasty tricks.
Right now there is not much you can do to stop this person. How do you even know it is a guy who is doing this? Women are just as guilty of this sort of behavior as men are. So, talk to your parents and get some form of security for your home computer. I have this on both my home network and my business, and it also allows me to connect or bridge my business network and my home network. It is really easy to set up and use.
Good luck in fixing your computer so this type of attack does not happen in the future. In the meanwhile report this person to your ISP and whichever site you are using. There may not be a lot they can do, but if you don't report it then nothing will get done for sure. By reporting this you are taking a stand against this sort of behavior and you never know when the site can do something to stop this.

Is there some way to listen in on cell phone conversations from a....?
Q. different location? Any good P.I.'s got any hints?
A. If you mean a cell phone as in mobile that you can carry around down town then depends what type it is. The older analog ones in theory yes although you'll need a scanner like people use to monitor the police frequencies. They generally work around the 900Mhz and 1800Mhz frequencies.
The newer ones all tend to be digital however you shouldn't be able to, although I suspect with the right hardware it's probably technically possible. Right hardware is things like FBI have - costs a lot.
If you mean the kind that people walk round their houses with then again the same applies. The UK ones you can monitor at the top of the normal radio frequencies or as mentioned with a baby monitor.
The newer digital ones however you can't easily as they need specialised receivers and they generally encrypt the conversation, so unless you pickup the encryption signal first then you'd have an awful job. Most however still aren't digital (in the UK at least).

Wireless internet slow with new Windows 7 install?
Q. I've got a 22Mbps down / 20Mbps up internet connection at my house w/a Wireless N router. My laptop is a 2009 Samsung Q430 w/an Atheros Wireless N adapter. About 2 wks ago I started seeing a drop in my wireless internet speeds. With full bars on connection my download speeds were going from 12Mbps down to around 80kbps down. I was planning on reformatting my computer after my last college semester ended so I figured maybe it was spyware or something, but after reformatting my HD & putting on a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate I'm still getting the same DL speeds as before. This is all happening with current drivers & sitting about 6 feet away from the wireless router w/no walls inbetween the connection.
It's absolutely not the ISP. I get more than what I pay for through a hard wired connection hooked up to the same router that is broadcasting my wireless signal.

A. Grab an ethernet cable and attach directly to the router.
Now, try and download something. Go to a website you know that is fast, and you can download a large file. If it's speed is operating as expected, then the problem lies with your network settings or interference from an outside souce, i.e. baby monitor, 2.4GHz phone, microwave, etc.
If it's still slow, then the issue may reside with your router and/or your ISP's service. To eliminate your end as the problem, open up Network settings and right-click on your network adapter.
Click Properties, and then Configure. Make sure you have duplex set to "Auto negotiate".
Click save and close. Make sure you set your router to do the same (if it has that option in its configuration page).
If the problem still persists, it may be your connection to the ISP. It will be their responsibility to come and fix it.
If it's just the wireless that is slow, make sure that you aren't running out of bandwidth because a roommate is downloading a terabytes worth of pornography or other. Too many people on the network can cause a slow down.
Also, if any other device on the wireless network is operating on the 802.11b/g standard, it will drop your throughput from what it was to half. The router cannot run in bonding mode when there's a mix of different standards...it's either all N or mixed mode for B, G and N. The latter being slower, of course.
EDIT:
Since it's only the wireless portion that is affected, it's safe to assume that the problem lies on YOUR end of the network (and not the ISP's).
That means that you have some sort of problem with the wireless configuration. Either that, or you have a bunch of people leeching bandwidth from your wireless.
I would reset the router back to factory default. There's a little button on the back, may need a paperclip. Just start all over with the wireless settings, just to make sure everything is good to go.
Once you reset the router, change the default username/password to get into the router's set up page.
Then, enable WPA2 encryption (or WPA or WEP if that's all there is). Enter a passphrase.
Enable MAC address filtering. Enter your machine's MAC address into the list.
Disable broadcast of the SSID.
Enable DHCP server functionality.
Change the wireless channel to something else that isn't being used (most people operate on channel 6, so go with a different number). The more people on the same channel, the noisier it will be and the more interference.
Enter all that information into your machine to connect wirelessly. Set to Automatically obtain IP address and DNS server in Network settings.
That's it.
