Computer Hardware Dictionary

Drivers & Firmware
Very often I come across a situation where I need to find and download drivers for various devices. Especially often this has to be done when repairing computers (reinstalling the system, for example). Sometimes they bring PCs for repair that were bought 3-5 years ago and have never been opened since the time of purchase.

The DIR-300 here looks like a lame turtle on the background of the WL-520GC.
When setting up the router, you are very likely to need some network information. What data may be needed and how to get it is described in this article. Check it out. Continue reading
