TechBytes 06: Connect to any WiFi router using WPS Pin!

WiFi routers around us are mostly secured using a password. But do you know that your router has another protected (apparently) connection method? Yes, That's call WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

WPS is a 8 digit pin that comes printed on your router specification label as well as on the router box. You can also find the WPS pin from the router admin panel.

Now how does finding that help? Many times we need to setup our router or stuff like changing devices or passwords multiple times. In that case, forgetting the SSID and putting password again and again becomes a boring job. To save us from all that hassle, we can use WPS pin to stay connected with the router all the way till we finish setting our devices and set a password finally.

But windows PC's only allows WPS button method. Now, we will learn about the way we can use WPS pin method to connect from windows platform. We'll need a software for that. It's named JumpStart. Click here to download.

Unzip, install and run the software. You'll see the interface like below.

Click next, now select Enter the PIN from my access point. You'll see an empty box appearing, put your WPS pin on that box, untick Automatically select the network and click next. Then on the next page select your WiFi router, click next and wait for your PC to get connected to your router. Done!

TechBytes 03: Dueling Neural Networks

What does these pictures look like to you? Pictures of a person from 2014-2017, right? No. Actually these pictures are fake. A new technology called Dueling Neuron Network, an advancement in Artificial Intelligence helped creating this. Dueling neural network is a system where two neuron networks contesting with each other like in a digital cat and mouse game. It is used to generate audible and visual data. The neural network has produced many pictures like the above ones. They look like real but they aren’t. GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) created these fake pictures. This particular network system replicates real data to produce fake data. Between two pictures above, left one is generator network which has the task to create training data and to get as realistic as it can. On the other hand, the right one is discriminator network which has the task to identify which one is real and which one is fake. GAN is created through pairing these two ...
