When providing fiber broadband access services, we frequently receive questions about packet loss rates. Here, Fangyuan Information explains what network packet loss means and what causes it. Packet loss occurs when some data packets are lost during transmission. The packet loss rate is the proportion of transmitted packets that are lost. Common causes and troubleshooting…

Companies today place ever higher demands on their networks. Whether a traditional enterprise or a new-economy business, fiber broadband has increasingly become the first choice for corporate internet access. Advantages of fiber access: 1. Fast transmission speed: fiber access delivers high-speed bandwidth of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps; it enables bidirectional synchronous data…

Preparing to Set Up Your Router First, confirm what type of broadband connection you have. The simplest way is to call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask. You can also make a quick judgment based on how your network was connected before you bought the router. Common hardware connection methods include the following: a.…

If your computer’s C drive turns red, it means the C drive is running out of storage space and the system will slow down. So how do you clean up a full C drive? The editors at Fangyuan Information explain below. Steps: 1. Double-click Computer to open it, then right-click Local Disk (C:) and select…

When we set up a WiFi network at home, two devices are indispensable: one is a wireless router, and the other is a modem or optical modem (ONT). And the latter is indispensable (except for fiber-to-the-building users). It is the device that brings the internet into the home, and with it our wireless router can…

Choosing the most suitable network layout is critical to the efficient operation of any system. For wireless networks, this is highly relevant, as it is closely tied to factors such as latency, power, speed, and redundancy. A modern network is made up of many different types of devices, such as routers, smartphones, Bluetooth headsets, and…

An optical splitter is a component used to build a PON network. It is a passive device that connects the OLT and the ONU, and its function is to distribute downstream data and aggregate upstream data. An optical splitter has one upstream optical interface and a number of downstream optical interfaces. The optical signal arriving…

FC — round type with threaded coupling; commonly used on optical transceivers and similar equipment. ST — bayonet-lock round type; commonly used on termination boxes. SC — bayonet-lock square type; commonly used on fiber media converters. PC — micro-spherical polished (physical contact). APC — angled at 8 degrees with micro-spherical polishing. Fiber optic patch cord…

When using Windows 10 to get online, you may run into an odd situation where you cannot connect to a wireless network: the network name is clearly visible in the network list, yet when you try to connect you get a message saying Windows cannot connect to this network. The causes can be many and…

An AP is the most commonly used device for building a small wireless LAN. It acts as a bridge between wired and wireless networks; its main role is to connect wireless clients to one another and then connect the wireless network to Ethernet. APs are at the core of a wireless network, and improper deployment…

No Network Communication Right After the Switch Is Powered On [Symptom] When the switch has just been powered on, it cannot connect to other networks and requires a waiting period before it can. In addition, only after it has been in use for some time does access to other computers become fast; if the network…

IP addresses are a piece of networking knowledge that anyone working in the communications industry simply has to understand. When we run into network faults — a router that will not connect, switches that cannot communicate, and so on — a basic understanding of IP addresses is usually enough to solve these everyday problems. Let’s…
