Getting Started with Shareit App

Good afternoon. I want to talk about using the share it application, especially getting started with the app. Shareit is used to share videos, music, and apps. Many prefer this app because its simple, clean and it can share apps which are already installed. Alright that being the case, let's say you want to share apps with a friend but they don't have the shareit app. Lucky you, this shouldn't stop you. Open the shareit app on your phone and tap " invite ". The result is a screen displaying two options. Decide if you want to use " bluetooth or hotspot ". For Bluetooth, well then your friend has to turn on their bluetooth. An APK will be sent via bluetooth to the other phone. But in case you choose hotspot, make sure your friend turns on their WIFI and run a scan for an available hotspot. Follow the onscreen instructions displayed on the phone that has shareit app.

What is Wifi

Wi-Fi or wifi? What is Wi-Fi? Alot of people are not clear when it comes to explaining what Wi-Fi is and how it works. To learn more about WiFi and understand it better, we will talk of Router , access points and hotspot Wi-Fi is a wireless technology used by Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). This technology is used in devices that are Wi-Fi enabled to connect to the internet. For Wi-fi to connect to the internet it uses a router that has Access point or Hotspot. Access point and Hotspot can be used interchangeably depending how it is being used. What is a Router? In computing terms a router is a networking device that connects devices between computer networks. What is an Access point? This is the connection that a WIFi device uses to conect to the internet. An access point works together hand in hand with the router. What is a hotspot? This is a physical location where one can connect or have access through a Wifi that uses an access point to connect to the router that connec...

Connecting to Wi-Fi internet without a Passphrase; WPS

And so am back with another new thing,  only very few knew or know about this. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). As a mystery burried under your phone settings within the Wi-Fi facility,  comes "wps". Oh yes what is it and what does it do? This is a security setting that is mostly found; as stated, the phone or a Wi-Fi capable device and a Wireless Internet Router that acts as a hot-spot or an access point. Let's say you visit a friend and they have Wi-Fi internet but "...now a twist lol" only the parent or guardian keeps the password or pin for the Wi-Fi as the intended devices in the house are already configured with a PIN or Password. Now that being a scenario, you are forced to just scan and find the Wi-Fi name but unable to use the internet while the router itself just seats right there in the open. New or older router models, have a button labeled "wps" this button was put in place to help people who have difficulties with long passphrases for pa...

Apps of the Month - SHAREit, Xender, Zapya, Share Apps, SuperBeam

These are free applications to transfer files from a Wi-Fi compatible device to another similar one. Users can use it to transfer files including photos, videos, music, contacts, apps and any other files. Depending on a specific app, they allow Windows, Windows Phone, Android, and iOS devices to transfer files directly by ad-hoc Wi-Fi connections. In addition to transferring files, these apps services also include CONTROL and CLONEit. The apps offer faster speed than Bluetooth and even NFC, and it is totally secure, considering the type of connection it uses to transfer files. The only best method for file transfer was either through Bluetooth, or USB drives. In case of Bluetooth, the speed was adequate, while the USB drive case had a negative side. That negative side was the chances of getting malicious data or file transferred from one device to another, thus, hurting the foreign device or PC in connection. Looking at the unsafe protocol offered by USB drives, and slow speed of B...
