Creating a wireless network can be relatively simple. However there are a wide range of wireless products available and knowing which product to choose can be a headache.
Wireless networks are cable free, relatively easy to install and mean that you can surf the net from anywhere in your home, even the garden!
However, they are more expensive and are less reliable than wired networks as they are susceptible to radio interference. Performance also diminishes with distance from the access point.

Which type of router do you need?
The wireless router you require will depend on:
•    What do you want to use your computer for and the distance you want your wireless network to cover.
•    Various wireless standards exist and each have their own range and speed limits.
•    What type of internet connection do you have?
•    If you have telephone based broadband (BT, AOL or Tiscali) you will need a wireless modem router.
•    If you have cable based broadband such as Virgin you will need a cable router.

Wireless Standards speeds and coverage:
The standard that your devices support will affect the performance and range of your network.
- Suitable for web surfing
802.11g supports a maximum speed of 54 Mbps, has a range of 400ft and is backwards compatible. Signals are subject to interference from other home appliances.
- Suitable for online gaming
802.11n (draft standard) is more resistant to interference, is backward compatible and supports data rates of over 100 Mbps with a range of up to 1200ft.
- Suitable for high definition streaming
802.11n1 mimo (draft standard) is more expensive but has a maximum 300Mbps transmission rate and a range of 1400ft.

Other tips:
Purchase a wireless Internet router with the same brand as your wireless network adapter.
•    Vendors may optimise communication protocols of their own equipment so you may gain a slightly better performance.

Go on, hit them with your best shot! Whether you’re a Beginner or Pro tennis player, Twenga offers a diverse array of tennis rackets from the biggest brands, and the ability to compare prices online.

Beginner: Light and equipped
Whether you’re a novice, or simply looking to play a little bit more than usual, it’s best to start with a pre-strung tennis racket (neutral strung). As a beginner, it’s not necessary to get a sophisticated or expensive racket. Try a light racket, particularly one equipped with a vibration dampener to avoid injury and tennis-elbow (elbow pain resulting from the overuse of arm and forearm muscles). Prices for these lightweight rackets range from £7.50 and £50.00

Pro: Detailed and powerful
The head size, racket weight, string type and tension, and frame build are the main criterion for choosing a tennis racket. You can also leave the decision making to the pros, and choose a racket by your favourite player: Nadal’s Babolat, Federer’s Wilson, Sharapova’s Wilson…
For a powerful and durable racket, price ranges £50 to £120

Accessories:
Tennis Shoes
Whatever your tennis level or play surface (clay, grass, hard…), don’t forget you’ll need good shoes. When it comes to tennis shoes, don’t skimp on comfort. Tennis is not for the faint of foot. Gel tennis shoes or air cushioned tennis shoes will give you added support on the court, both increasing your comfort and reducing your risk of injury.
Remember that spiked shoes are best for lawn courts.  Various tennis shoe prices start at £20.99

Tennis Balls
The tennis balls you choose can make all the difference.  For hard surfaces, buy tennis balls with pressure from brands such as Wilson and Gamma. The fine felt used on regular duty tennis balls tends to deteriorate and collect dirt on hard outdoor surfaces.

Additional accessories
Don’t forget the small things that can make huge difference in a winning game: Tennis racket grip, tennis bag, tennis shorts.

Every pet owner wants to keep their pets safe. In a moving car anything that’s not properly attached can easily fall out or get hurt. Keep your dog safe by using a secure method of transport such as dog seat belts or pet car seats.

Advantages of a dog seat belt:
•    Keeps your hound secure during a sudden stop or even an accident
•    Adjustable straps depending on size of dog
•    Dog has (limited) freedom to move around on seat
•    Dog not in rear of vehicle

Want your dog closer?
A pet car seat allows you to have your dog sitting in the luxury of their own booster seat right next to you while you drive (all without getting hair all over your car seat).

Other safe ways to transport your dog:
•    Transport cages are also used to carry dogs of various sizes
•    Net pet barriers are soft mesh separations used in your car
•    Dog guards are similar to net pet barriers but made of steel

Prices for dog seat belt range £6.99 to £16.50
Prices for pet car seat range £19.99 to £50.00
