I recently installed a new Medialink N wireless router to replace an old router which I use to share my Cable internet connection with multiple computers, and it was not too hard to set it up by plugging in all the power, and network cables into it, and using the included setup CD in Window to set up the internet, wireless signal, and wireless router SSID user name, and wireless signal password by following the step by step instructions on the CD setup program for my router.

But, setting up a router can be hard for a novice, so I have some tips to make it easier. The first thing you should do is read the box to make sure if the wireless router is compatible with all your devices before buying it.

It is also important to keep your receipt, or proof of payment just in case your router is broken or not compatible with your computer and electronics, and you need another brand of router.

I recently been using Green Browser on my slower computer, and I notice my computer internet experience slows down less on websites with a lot of flash video and other content like YouTube.com when I use Green Browser.

Websites load faster, web videos don’t skip, or pause as much, and play pretty smoothly compared to Firefox, and Google Chrome on a computer running Windows 8 with only 1GB of RAM, and a 1.86GHz Dual core CPU with an onboard Intel graphics card.

I like that Green Browser uses very little RAM and CPU power in Windows, so I can run other programs a long side Green like a Word Processor, other web browsers, media players, chat program without slow down caused by Green Browser because it is so light on system resources.

Green Browser is e a good web browser to use when you are running tasks like Antivirus scans, disk defrags and other scans which sometimes slow down your computer.

The page scrolling also seems faster in Green even when a flash video and other animations on a website is running on the same page.

Even giant websites like The Huffington Post, and  Tech Crunch load, scroll, and run faster on Green Web browser then other web browsers like Firefox, IE, etc in my experience.

Green Browser has almost all the features which the typical web browser needs like tabs, bookmarks, autofills, navigational bar, search, print page, and much more.

You can also add speed dial bookmarks in the new tabs page easily to make visiting bookmark pages faster by clicking on a button speed dial bookmark which you made on the new tabs page.

The user interface is very minimalistic like Internet Explorer 6, and below, so if you used IE, you should not have a hard time using Green Browser since the user interface is similar.

The user interface in Green is also very customizable. You can hide toolbars, menus, buttons, and other on screen items in Green Browser to get more screen space back. Green browser also come with a few themes as well.

I recommend Green Browser for someone looking for a lightweight web browser for a computer which does not have a lot of speed, and is running a older version of Windows like XP, Vista, or even newer versions of Windows like 7-8.

I also recommend you update to the latest version of Internet Explorer like IE 8-9 since Green Browser is based on IE, so updating IE can make Green faster.

My main reason for Opera being my favorite web browser for Windows 8 is because it can run flash video sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion without slowing down my computer with only 1 GB of RAM, and onboard video which means I only have about 900 MB of free RAM to use to run Windows, background programs, and applications like Opera 12.11 because 100 MBs is being used for my onboard video on my motherboard. Opera also seem to use less CPU percentage then other web browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc which I tried on my old 1.8 GHz CPU.

I notice I experience a lot less slow down and crashse in Flash and interactive sites with a lot of videos, moving objects, and web apps on it compared to the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome for Windows 8.

I also like Opera because it has a modern user interface which looks better then the basic user interfaces found in Firefox 16, Internet Explorer 10, Chrome, and others which seems less modern. Also, Opera has a search box on the toolbar, and in the new tabs page which make it convenient for me to search online with Google, Bing, and other search engine websites quickly. I can also use the address bar to search, or press F2 function key on my keyboard to launch a search box/address bar to search on. [continue reading…]
