Firefox 20 : Open new windows in a new tab instead

Just recently my Firefox v20 "Open new windows in a new tab instead" were working properly but after installing some addons it always give me a new windows which hate it so much. Googling around the net didn't give me a good result as I want it the normal opening "new tad instead a new windows".

I don't want to go back with my old Firefox v11 which I have used it for a long period of time without any issue. According to this link the Tab preferences and settings which I have followed that give me no different result by unchecking the Open new windows in a new tab instead.

I still can not figure it out where I did something wrong since only five addons only I have installed, uninstalling one by one was my trial and error to see it it works. After undoing all my Firefox v20 addons and open up my browser the Open new windows in a new tab instead works as it is normal.

Installing again the addons one by one and see if the Open new windows in a new tab instead still working? Then, only I knew it that the SEO Toolbar 1.3.5.1 that gives me the error that prevents from opening my new tab instead a new windows. Adding a new SEO Toolbar or uninstalling it that solve my issue. Enjoy reading!

ZyXEL P-663H-51 ADSL2+ 4-port Bonding Gateway Review

ZyXEL's New P-663H-51 ADSL 2/2+ modem / router supports speeds of up to 48mbps downstream and 4mbps upstream, and includes four 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports. It also provides TR069 protocol for remote management, SPI firewall and DOS protection for security, and advanced QoS and multicasting features for triple play services.

Features at a Glance

• ADSL2/2+, Annex L and Annex M
• 2 ADSL2+ port bonding
• Stateful Packet Inspection
• Anti Denial-of-Service attack and port scanning
• IGMP proxy/snooping for IP multicast
• Port-based VLAN to support triple-play services

ZyXEL's P-663H-51 is an all-in-one ADSL2+ gateway for Home, SOHO and SMB applications. Featuring two ADSL2+ WAN ports and four 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN ports, the P663H-51 provides SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), anti-DOS (Denial of Service) and many Firewall security features to protect against network intrusion and attacks.

In addition, advanced features such as IP multicasting, IGMP proxy/snooping, fast leave and IP QoS fulfill the need of triple-play services, while the G.bond-based port bonding feature groups the 2 ADSL2+ physical ports into a logical link. The link not only provides VDSL-equivalent bandwidth with much longer loop length, its load-balance feature between the two ports also makes P-663H-51 the best choice for business and high-end market applications.

ZyXEL P-663H-51 Features

Higher-speed Broadband Access

The ZyXEL P-663H-51 has two ADSL2/2+ WAN ports. With the ATM-based multi-paired bonding feature, the two ports can be grouped into a logical link boasting the bandwidth twice as fast as a single ADSL2/2+ port, and the bit rates of each individual port can be freely and independently changed by their respective PHY layer. If one of the member ports fails, the conveyed traffic will be moved to the other port. When the failed port recovers, it will seamlessly return to the logical link and share the transmission/reception of the upper-layer traffic.

Compliant all standard ADSL2/ADSL2+ features

In addition to delivering increased data rates over greater distance than the basic ADSL2/ADSL2+, the P663H-51 also supports traditional ADSL2+ standards, such as Annex L, Annex M, DELT, SRA and dying gasp functions.

Robust, State-of-the-Art IP Security

The ZyXEL Prestige 663H-51 provides state-of-the-art standard Firewall features including, Stateful Packet Inspection, anti-DoS (Denial of Service) and IP/MAC address spoofing protection for basic defense against hackers, network intruders and other hazardous threats.

Sophisticated QoS for Triple-Play Services

The P-663H-51 comes with complete integrated ATM and Ethernet QoS mechanisms, as well as various IP QoS features (Packet classification/Rate Limitation/Queue Scheduling). The seamless QoS-mapping not only allows consistent and appropriate traffic treatment of packets, but also enables fulfillment of triple-play services. The IGMP proxy/snooping and fast leave (v1, v2) features also supports IP multicasting services.

How-To Configure WISP on TP-Link MR3040

TP-Link is gaining its name as it has more and more likes this device because of low end price equipment likewise it has a good performance when it comes to wireless router this is because of the popular Atheros SoC chips that they are embedding to appliances. One of my favorite TP-Link product is TL-MT3040 its a portable 3G/4G wireless router equip with battery that is good when traveling to get hook your smartphone to the internet.

One of this feature that I like most is the WISP it stand for wireless internet service provider, in short the TL-MR3040 can act as WISP Client Router: In this mode, the device enables multiusers to share Internet from WISP. The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port. While connecting to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at WISP Client Router mode. The ethernet port acts as a LAN port.

To begin with I am using an Aztech DSL605EW modem router built-in with WAP (wireless access point) aka WiFi this will act as my  WISP server, the configuration on this device is in Bridge Mode and WLAN also is able because my medium to hook to my TL-MR3040 is via wireless not wired.

Now, lets login to the TP-Link TL-MR3040 to get the quick setup, this is just a straight forward configuration like setting up your ordinary wireless router.

The quick setup will tell you how to configure the basic network parameters. Just follow the screenshot its simple, to continue, please click the Next button. To exit, please click the Exit button.

Then, will select from the option the WISP Client Router: In this mode, the device enables multiusers to share Internet from WISP. The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port. While connecting to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at WISP Client Router mode. The ethernet port acts as a LAN port.

Note:

• Some configurations, such as access point's SSID, BSSID, encryption's info, will lose after changing operation mode.
• Some web pages will display abnormally before rebooting the device.

Next is the WAN Connection

• PPPoE - If you have applied ADSL to realize Dial-up service, you should choose this type. Under this condition, you should fill in both the User Name and Password that the ISP supplied.

This goes your account given to by your ISP, your username and password input then click Next.

On this part instead the TL-Link TL-MR3040 hook to cable/LAN now our medium is wireless we will use the WiFi as our medium to connect to the ISP. Click the Survey button then select your WISP server the Aztech DSL605EW.

The MR3040 wireless router has just finish the setup and will now ask you to reboot.

After rebooting, login to TL-MR3040 verify that the status of your wireless connection is on Client and the state is on Run, this means that you are already connected to the WISP server.

If your ISP account is valid or you didn't type any error both the username and the password you may be able to connect to your ISP network. Finally, its now successful as you can see from the screenshot above. There only a few routers that supports the WISP protocol namely TL-Link, Tenda, MikroTik and the third party firmware such Openwrt and DD-Wrt. If you know other routers that support the WISP please don't hesitate let me know leave message on my comment. Enjoy!

myBRO DV235T at P1 WiMAX Malaysia

An old friend of mine from menanjung came along bringing his P1 WiMAX wireless broadband with him seem to be who can live with out the internet connection. I said to him that have like that but different model that I use for surfing in my country. Good thing is that he lent me his WiMAX CPE for a while and ask him if its possible to try my abandoned myBRO DV235T that is also made by Packet One Malaysia only assembled in China. hehehe :)

Fast forwarding after a few tweaks, here's what I got it peaks up the frequency and suddenly get hook to the BTS. Yes it did connect and able to surf with my friend account, this is only want to prove that they really belongs to same clan.

As you can see from the screenshot, well done. Its myBRO DV235T WiMAX CPE from Smart Telecommunication from the Philippines good to know it did get work.

Now the WAN IP address of P1 WiMAX network, likewise the DNS. Below is the P1 WiMAX Welcome page, IP address is just the same as in the myBRO DV235T graphical user interface.

Yay! Ready to surf, can not wait to check the speedtest ? FYI, Packet One 4G WiMAX has two package the Prepaid and the Postpaid. Unlike Globe and Smart WiMAX in the Philippines they are strickly to postpaid only. Fair Usage Policy also applies to P1 you will have your qouta per month.

Fortunately I manage to surf the net comfortably this only means that my friend account still have a lot more balance remaining. Enjoy reading...
