Liputan WiFi Di Rumah Saya

Kebanyakan rumah di Malaysia sekarang mempunyai capaian Internet. Internet jalur lebar seperti TMNet Streamyx banyak dilanggan oleh pengguna kerana kelajuan yang agak laju (bermula dari 1Mbps sehingga 8Mbps, bergantung kepada kawasan), stabil pada kebanyakan masa dan mempunyai kuota data yang tidak terbatas.

Cara yang paling mudah untuk mengakses Internet di rumah adalah dengan menggunakan teknologi tanpa wayar WiFi. Di masa ini, semua peranti mudah alih seperti telefon bimbit, tablet dan juga komputer riba dilengkapi dengan WiFi. Berbanding cara dahulu menggunakan kabel LAN, WiFi lebih mudah serta tiada wayar yang berselirat.

Sungguhpun begitu, terdapat banyak pilihan modem WiFi di pasaran. Ada yang mahal dengan pelbagai fungsi tambahan seperti keupayaan untuk menjadi hos untuk pencetak, network attached storage (NAS) dan juga mempunyai 2 atau 3 antenna untuk menambah liputan WiFi di rumah. Modem yang murah hanya menawarkan fungsi asas sahaja dan tiada fungsi tambahan seperti modem yang mahal.

TP-Link TD-W8970 dengan 3 antena untuk lebih jangkauan, NAS dan hos pencetak


D-Link DSL-2640B diberi percuma oleh pihak TM untuk langganan Streamyx saya


Jadi, adakah yang mahal itu lebih baik?

Tidak semestinya.

Jadi saya ingin berkongsi dengan pembaca blog ini (jika ada), kekuatan liputan WiFi di dalam rumah saya. Rumah saya ini merupakan sebuah rumah setingkat dengan 3 bilik tidur dan 2 bilik air. Saya menggunakan modem berjenama D-Link model DSL-2640B yang dibekalkan oleh TM. Berikut merupakan pelan lantai rumah saya (tidak mengikut skala).

 Lakaran pelan lantai rumah saya, modem diletakkan di atas almari


Saya mengambil bacaan kekuatan isyarat WiFi di dalam rumah saya dengan menggunakan aplikasi Wifi Analyzer yang dimuat turun ke dalam telefon bimbit LG Nexus 4 saya.

Paparan aplikasi WiFi Analyzer (dimuat turun dari Google Play)


Berikut merupakan bacaan kekuatan isyarat WiFi yang diambil di pelbagai tempat dalam rumah saya. Oleh kerana bacaan kekuatan isyarat WiFi ini adalah dalam nilai negatif, maka lebih kecil nombor negatif bermakna isyarat WiFi adalah lebih kuat.

KAWASAN KEKUATAN ISYARAT WiFi
(dBm)
Tandas 1 -63 (3 bar)
Bilik 1 -62 (3 bar)
Bilik 2 -55 (4 bar)
Tandas 2 -67 (3 bar)
Bilik 3 -69 (3 bar)
Dapur -58 (3 bar)
Ruang Tamu -48 (4 bar)

Berdasarkan keputusan dalam jadual di atas, ternyata modem percuma yang diberi sudah cukup untuk memberi liputan WiFi yang kuat di dalam rumah saya. Perlu diingat, modem ini mudah rosak jika berlaku ribut petir di kawasan kita. Jadi, kos mengganti perlu diambil kira. Sebagai contoh, modem yang mahal seperti TP-Link TD-W8970 berharga sekitar RM 250.00 sebuah berbanding modem yang asas seperti D-Link DSL-2640B yang berharga sekitar RM 80.00 sebuah. Jika kita hanya pengguna biasa yang tidak memerlukan fungsi tambahan seperti NAS ataupun hos pencetak, modem asas sudah memadai.

Namun begitu, jika reka bentuk rumah menghalang liputan WiFi yang baik, penggunaan alat WiFi Range Extender boleh membantu modem sedia ada untuk memanjangkan jangkauan isyarat WiFi ke bahagian rumah yang bermasalah.

HDMI display problem

Recently I just bought myself a new Samsung SyncMaster SA350 23" High Definition LED monitor to replace my old Samsung 17" LCD monitor for my PC. The old monitor will go to my hometown in Banting to be paired with unused PC there.

Excited to make full use of High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) on my Sapphire HD 5770 graphic card, I quickly connected my new monitor to the graphic card using HDMI cable. However, I was disappointed when the monitor is not displaying 100% of the screen area of the 1080p monitor as shown in the picture below:

BEFORE (click on image to enlarge)


A quick googling on the net directed me to the solution. The HD monitor is not displaying full screen problem can be solved by adjusting overscan and underscan option within your ATI Catalyst Control Center.

Here I would like to share the step-by-step procedure of adjusting overscan and underscan option in ATI Catalyst Control Center installed on Windows 7 OS:

1) On the taskbar, right-click on the ATI Catalyst Control Center icon (shown in red circle).

2) On the menu, select Catalyst Control Center ...


3) Catalyst Control Center will appear, select My Digital Flat Panel, a drop down menu will appear.

4) From the drop down menu, select Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)
5) Adjust the Scaling Options by moving the slider towards Underscan or Overscan until the whole display is filling up the entire screen area.

6) Voila! The display is filling up the entire screen area of your new HD monitor connected via HDMI cable.

For older version of ATI Catalyst, you may refer here. I have adapted his guide to match with the new interface in the latest ATI Catalyst driver I am using.

Enjoy your new HD monitor!!! ^_^

Reconnected from Kerteh!

Last Tuesday I was just reconnected to the information superhighway (a.k.a The Internet) from my rented house in Kerteh. I am now subscribing TM's Streamyx 1 Mbps broadband package. So far, I am satisfied with the connection speed (according to current Malaysia's snailing slow connection standard). The package bundle is good too, for Blockbuster plan (1 Mbps with unlimited free calls to TM fixed line at RM110/month) a unit of D-Link's DSL-2640B WiFi router is provided as opposed to Riger WiFi router unit that is currently being used at my hometown in Banting. So, I just to wait for the DECT phone to be delivered and I am expecting the same Panasonic unit that is currently used in my hometown.

So, I logged on to Speedtest.net website to check on how Streamyx is performing here in Kerteh. Here are the result, I pinged several servers in nearby cities around Kerteh and I am quite impressed with the result. I hope Streamyx has really improved this time and not relying on clause "...is provided on best effort basis..." anymore. I just hope that TM can improve on the uploading speed (384 Kbps I think) so I can keep on Torrenting more effectively. :)

Salam Aidil Adha

I would like to wish to all of my blog readers and followers (if any) an eventful Aidil Adha this year. May all of us is blessed by Allah to understand more about sacrifices (Qurban) that we are always facing in our life. Sometimes, the saying "If you want to gain something, you have to lose something" can be true in order for us to achieve better life in the future. What is more important, we need to be grateful and work hard to improve our life.

Apart from the usual Solat Aidil Adha at the mosque (no 'melapah' session this year), I also did some shopping. I was intending to upgrade my old rig before I can bring it to Kerteh this Saturday. The shopping was done at various shops in Low Yat Plaza and here is the shopping list:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 processor
  • Asus P4P43TD/USB3 motherboard
  • Corsair Gaming 1333 MHz DDR3 2 GB RAM modules
  • Cooler Master USP 100 Casing
  • Sapphire HD5770 Vapor-X 1 GB DDR5 graphic card
  • Western Digital 500 GB S-ATA hard disk drive
  • K-World PCI TV card
  • XFX XXX Edition 650W modular power supply unit
  • Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 speaker system
  • Koss Ectron E-85 850 VA uninterruptable power supply

I will post my story on assembling the parts and my findings in term of benchmarks of the newly assembled system for information-sharing in the next post. Salam Aidil Adha. :)

A new lease of life

With the new motherboard installed


My aging PC finally breathe to new life today. After dealing with statics problem that made me unable to house the motherboard and peripherals inside the CM Elite 330 case, the PC finally beeped to life!


The problems

  1. The aging MSI P915 finally rest in peace. There are significant signs of aging capacitors all over the motherboard. They might have just vaporised and malfunction causing the whole system unable to power up.
  2. I came to Ariff's room to test the all the hardwares and detect the faulty ones as he has the extra hardwares. Later we found out that the graphic card (XFX GeForce 8600GT) is the culprit.
  3. Upon installing the new motherboard, the system beeped frantically. Checked the manual, the beeps indicate ROM problem. I suspected that this is due to statics problem.

The old MSI 915P motherboard


The peripherals waiting to be installed on the new motherboard


The solutions

  1. I replaced the aging motherboard with a new one (Gigabyte G41M-ES2L). RM 205 at PC Depot, Ipoh.
  2. Sent the GC back to shop for RMA as it is still under warranty. Lucky me!
  3. For statics problem, I have insulated all of the screw holes of the motherboard with cellophane tape. The frantic beeps gone and the system boot up normally!
  4. I also replace all the interface cables (SATA and IDE) with the new ones bundled with the motherboard and all of the drives are detected and works like a charm!

Biggest gratitude

  1. I would like to thank to Ariff for assisting me troubleshooting my PC problems. I owe you dude!
  2. I would also like to thank Ariff's roommate, Wira Aiman for lending me his a stick of 1 GB DDRII 800 MHz RAM as the new motherboard is not compatible with DDR2 400 MHz RAM.
  3. Gigabyte is generous enough to bundle the latest Norton Internet Security with the motherboard even it is the low end model. Surprisingly the antivirus does not bog down my system even though it only use the aging Pentium 4 630 processor with crippling 1 GB RAM (do not forget some of the RAM has been taken out by integrated graphic). No significant lag!

The new Gigabyte G41M-ES2L

Dirinya Dalam Koma

Hari ini ku bangun seperti hari-hari biasa...
Ku lihat dirimu berdiri megah di depan mataku...
Ku hampiri dirimu yang terdiam kaku di sudut kamarku...
Lantas ku usap dirimu seperti selalu...
Jari-jemariku lembut mencari titik sentuhan yang bisa membangunkan mu...
Namun berkali-kali ku usap, ku picit dirimu...
Kau terus membisu tiada tindak balas...
Seketika itu ku terfikir...
Mungkin kau berpura-pura tidak bertindak balas denganku...
Mungkin kau ingin bercanda denganku, mengharap sentuhan yang lebih ganas...
Namun kau masih jua membisu...
Jantungku berdegup kencang, peluh mula membasahi tubuhku...
Kau terus terkaku disitu...
Kau langsung tidak memberi tindak balas...
Bangunlah sayangku...
Bangkitlah kau dari lenamu...
Ku merindui dirimu...
Ingin kulihat kau beraksi riang seperti selalu...
Adakah kau merajuk padaku?
Andai benar sangkaanku...
Ku pohon maaf darimu...
Dihari mulia ini...
Andai kau rasa terabai...
Percayalah, aku tidak pernah berniat begitu...
Mungkin aku terkhilaf seketika...
Kerana aku manusia biasa, bukannya mesin sepertimu...
Bangunlah sayang...
Banyak keje lagi tak siap weiii!!!!
Adoi~ gelabah laa aku camni~
Waaaaaa.....


Bangunlah sayangku~ come back to life!!!! aku da kopak nih~

808.8 + 80.0 = 888.8

888.8? What is the significant of this figure? Some of my friends had given their assumption via my Facebook page:


The figure looks gay, at least that's what they said. Does it sounds gay to you?

Ok, let me clear things up. 888.8 translates into 888.8 GB of my current hard disk space in my PC. It consists of two Western Digital S-ATA hard disks, the 80.0 GB Caviar and the recently owned 808.8 GB Caviar Green. Previously, my PC faced a very serious disk space issues so the acquiring of new hard disk solves my problem. Currently 3 of the S-ATA ports on my MSI 915P motherboard are occupied; 2 are used by the HDDs and 1 is connected to S-ATA Pioneer DVD burner.

Setting up the new hard disk was a breeze. Then, I backed up all of my files at second partition of the old hard disk to the newly formatted 808.8 GB hard disk. To obtain a significant boost of performance, I have reformatted and departitioned the old hard disk to be used as primary location where I installed my Windows XP SP2. Now, I have one whole 80.0 GB space specially assigned to install all my software. Most importantly, I installed the Microsoft Office 2007 suites and MATLAB 7.1 R14 software as my specialization in Power Systems require me to do power flow analysis that involves iterations using Gauss-Siedel and Newton-Raphson methods. MATLAB is very great mathematical tool that can do the jobs for me, and for that it requires large disk space and processing power to complete the complex and lengthy iterations.

However, I noticed a significant lag in my PC although I have just fresh install the WinXP. I suspect the RAM is the bottleneck here as my current RAM is only 1 GB made up of 2x512 MB DDR2 RAM sticks running in dual channel mode. I think my next step of improving the performance of my PC is to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB (2x1 GB on dual channel). I might opt to go for 4 GB of RAM but since I am not going to use Vista, installing 4 GB of RAM would be pointless since WinXP only detect up to 3.5 GB of RAM. Only after that I can think of procuring new 1 TB HDD to make full use of the available 4 S-ATA ports on my motherboard. Hehehe...~

Shopping Spree!!!

Today I go back to UTP again since I have lectures on Monday. I departed at about 9.30 a.m and arrived at UTP at about 3.00 p.m. Why I am taking so long to arrive at UTP? Yup, I went to Low Yat Plaza in KL to do some shopping! Here are my shopping bill:

  1. Western Digital WD8088AADS 808.8 GB S-ATA Hard Disk : RM 235.00
  2. VZTEC Bluetooth USB Dongle : RM 20.00
  3. Kingmax UD-02 8 GB USB thumbdrive : RM 55.00
  4. Kingmax Super Stick 2 GB USB thumbdrive : RM 24.00
  5. Buffalo Mini Station HD-PFU2 320 GB External Hard Disk : RM 230.00 (for Aiza)
When I arrived at my room in UTP, Qadir told me that the printer toner is running out of ink. Also, I forgot to but a new S-ATA cable for my new hard disk! Therefore, I called Aiza who was in Ipoh to do the shopping for me. So, my shopping bill adds up:

  1. Canon Cartridge 303 Laser Printer toner : RM 195.00
  2. S-ATA interface cable : RM 5.00
Total spent = RM 534.00 (excluding Aiza's external HDD)

Verdict: Totally satisfied with the purchase.

I need a new hard disk since my current WD 80 GB hard disk has very serious storage space issues. I need a new one primarily to allow me to work with engineering softwares like MATLAB that requires huge storage space. As for the thumbdrive, I need a new ones since my last SanDisk Cruzer U3 went kaput. My selection of Buffalo HD-PFU2 portable HDD is because it offers shock protection, faster transfer rate with TurboUSB technology and wrap-around cable that is very useful in managing the USB cable. These features, especially the shock protection and cable management is very suited to sloppy nature of Aiza. No offense here :P

So, I better do autopsy on my PC to install the new hard disk drive (HDD) and partition it to suit my requirements. :)

Always use genuine toner for my LBP2900 laser printer


Kingmax Super Stick footprint is smaller than my room key!


This brick should keep me satisfied for quite some time... Hehehe...

Winamp Short Cut Keys



Maybe some of us do not realize that we can maximize the use of our PC/laptop/nettop using short cut keys. We can work more efficiently (read: working with various softwares at once) using short cut keys as we don't have to hover around the screen using mouse especially if the work is intensive on using the keyboard (typing, chatting, AutoCADing for example). I bet most of us working while listening to our MP3s collection using Winamp. Here I would like to share with you the 'global' hot keys to control your Winamp. Using Ctrl+Alt keys combination, we can control the playback of songs in Winamp. I said global because we don't have to switch to Winamp first to use the hot keys. It will work on any active windows, let say you are surfing the net using Google Chrome, just hit the Ctrl+Alt+specified keys to change track or even control the volume level without switching to Winamp first. Here is the list of short cut keys and the functions or you can refer to the diagram below (do not forget the Ctrl+Alt combinations!) :

  • Ctrl+Alt+Insert (Play the song)
  • Ctrl+Alt+Home (Pause)
  • Ctrl+Alt+PageUp (Change to previous song in the playlist)
  • Ctrl+Alt+PageDown (Change to the next song in the playlist)
  • Ctrl+Alt+End (Stop)
  • Ctrl+Alt+UpArrow (increase volume level)
  • Ctrl+Alt+DownArrow (decrease volume level)
  • Ctrl+Alt+LeftArrow (Rewind the currently played song)
  • Ctrl+Alt+RightArrow (Fast forward the currently played song)

Have fun trying! :)

p/s: Why Delete key is not used? Because Ctrl+Alt+Delete is reserved exclusively to load Task Manager in Windows OS. Huhuhuh~ :)

Printing Your Own Graph Paper

Being in engineering study requires me to use a lot of graph paper for plotting the result graph in my weekly lab reports. I find it hard to get graph paper of my choice since logarithmic graph paper is very rare in the market. I always use logarithmic scale for my electrical and electronic engineering assignment and lab reports. I wish I could print the graph paper from my own printer. Well, I found this Graph Paper Printer software from the Internet. You may visit the authors page here and the best part is, it is a FREEWARE! This little software allows you to print various type of graph paper available. Even so, you may create your own custom graph paper too! The software is simple and pretty self-explanatory. A minimum printer's resolution of 600dpi is required, compatible with all printers available in the market now. Download this little software now and save the unnecessary spending of buying graph paper.

It's up and running again!

One whole night confusion that haunted me finally flew away today. Standing up after frustration of burnt PSU and faulty graphic card finally ends today! :)

Today, at 10, I went to Ipoh with Qadir and Ijat to fix my PC. Alhamdulillah, the burnt PSU did not fry the motherboard and other components connected to it. After hours of surveying for parts around Ipoh, I finally decided to settle with Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 460W PSU (RS-460-PCAR-A3) to replace the old ones. Although this can be considered in the mid-range type, this PSU should power up my system without any hiccups. Future wise, this PSU can power another to hard disk drive whenever I want to upgrade for more space and RAIDing them for data protection.



As for the graphic card, I've chosen XFX NVidia GeForce 8600GT 256 MB DDR3 to replace my Forsa NV43's GeForce 6600. This I hope should perform better than the old ones in terms of stability and performance. So, I'm offering you the old ones with unbelievable price as second hand unit. Email or call/sms me to know more.



Enough talking, I have my PC up and running, so I guess I should start doing my work. Thanks to Ijat for giving me ride to Ipoh and Qadir for carrying my things. I can see from my windows now that it is raining out there. Bantai tdo sedap nih~ Hahahaha~ till then, bye~

Horrible Week, no, yes?

This week's a hell for me. I can expect heavy downpour in the afternoon and made me wet after the lectures. Thanks to the Foster and ntahsape2 who designed the academic complex of UTP. It is undeniable that the design is state-of-the-art (mind you that this building won Aga Khan award in 2007) but unfortunately hiring a foreigner to design building in the tropical country was a very serious mistake. The roof is so high that it useless to cover the people below from the torrential tropical rain. Walking from one block to another is real disaster and I was soaking wet by just walking from pocket D to class at block 21! I dunno what to say since I'm stuck in here until I graduate.

And for the first time, there was no black cloud during Analogue II lab. My oscillator circuit finally work like a charm. And for the first time me and my lab partner, Ana finished the lab and submit the lab report 1 hour earlier than the stipulated time. That entitled me to have a very peaceful lunch with Ana and friends.



I hope that will be a good sign despite the heavy afternoon downpour for the week. My PC suddenly switched off during Control System tutorial today. When I opened the case, I found out that my graphic card's fan blade was broken in two. That is a very peculiar problem. And I thought the reason my PC switched off is to prevent the GPU (graphic processing unit) from overheating. So I took out the graphic card and tried to power up my rig without it. Still, the system refused to switch on. Upon further investigation, I found out that the PSU (power supply unit) is completely burnt. The coil burnt so badly that it fry the circuit board around it. Guess I need to buy a new one. Damn! For now, I can just pray hard that the burnt PSU doesn't fry my motherboard too. Amin~

Changing Letter Case in Microsoft Word

Some of us might encounter typing error related to letter case when using this popular word processor. Normally we would correct the error by pressing delete key and type the new letter case. What if we have typed a paragraph all in capital letter or upper case? Or what if you want only the first letter of the word in upper case while the rest in lower case? Changing one by one is inevitably a disaster to us. That is where the combination of Shift+F3 key work its charm.

  1. Highlight the phrase that you want to change (e.g from lower case to UPPER CASE).
  2. While keeping the phrase highlighted, press Shift+F3 until the phrase change to the letter case you want.
  3. The cycle should be "muhammad afiq -> Muhammad Afiq -> MUHAMMAD AFIQ" .
I hope this tip will assist you to work more efficiently especially when typing your assignment.
