How I managed my more than 3 years old router TP Link Archer V7 without discarding it

-

 I am a permanent user of TP Link brand from the time I started using internet from around 2007 onwards. I find the Tp link routers best for home and small and medium office usage. the systems dont get heated uo quickly and easy to use interface. Now higher end versions like INR 2000+ models have mesh, VPN and cloud management support which can be controlled via Tplink android app, which is quite nice for system administrators in office as well as person who is managing and troubleshoot their home router on the go.

I am using multiple IOT device(IR blaster,smart plug from oakter), mobile and amazon fire TV Stick, computers connected to this router. The router has 2 bandwidths 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It has openvpn which is an opensource VPN module and you can run the router as a server for this VPN and all connected device which is capable of installing the client application of openvpn server.

I got a good Norton antivirus deal for 1 Pc 3 years license for roughly INR 1500. But as per government rule, VPN server needs to be in India as a result Norton VPN which came free is by default deactivated. Anyways! coming back to the main point. I recently saw my router to be freezing. So, I purchased a programmable switch of elektrotek from Amazon India.

I have used programmable switches earlier too to automate switching on and off of mosquito repellants in home, kitchen exhaist fans. I created 4 schedules on my programmable switch and I am getting good jiuce out of my router now. I created 1 minute switchoff time on my programmable switch with a 4 hour gap.

I hope my readers will also get good value out of it. I would also like to point out that I amusing the latest firmware of my router. My previous firmware update possibly had a bug which slowed the router down.

Distinguish between barotropic & baroclinic conditions of the atmosphere

-
An air mass which is defined as a large body of air whose physical properties especially temperature, moisture & lapse rate are more or less uniform horizontally for hundreds of kilometers.                             barotropic condition of atmosphere is theoretically ideal condition where surfaces of constant pressure are not intersected by isostereic(constant density) surfaces, so that in a vertical cross-section isobars(imaginary lines joining places of equal atmospheric pressure) & isotherms appear parallel i.e,zero baroclinicity.It is a rare phenomenon & is found in case of frontogenesis,separated by baroclinic front zone.          Baroclinic condition of atmosphere is seen in comparatively narrow zones (perhaps 1000Km. in width) of thermal discontinuity also known as fronts in air mass property. They are belts of sharp meteorological gradient recognized as distinct factors in the origin of mid-latitude disturbances. The instability is associated with rising wa

Airtel DTH: Error B001/Error B003 and Why I left Airtel possibly for Better

Why did I decided to Leave?  It has been 2 weeks since I complained about B001 error and Airtel in between replaced 2 set top boxes but problem remained. I have replaced everything as per "diagnosis" of airtel DTH technician but no solution could be reached. Currently, my balance has been deducted from INR200 to INR 10. There are discrepancies with the bills issued against parts replacements conducted during this period. It must be stressed here that I as a customer felt cheated, neglected, harassed by Airtel +Service Partner and I was a 7-8 years+ customer. We never saw that set top box seals were broken in front of our eyes for both the replacements by technicians. My comparison chart for new service provider

Why do isotherms shift north & south from season to season?

-
An isotherm is an imaginary line drawn on a weather chart or map to join places of equal temperature. Temperature varies from season -as there is high temperature during summer & low temperature during winter with minor changes during transitionary seasons. We know that temperature is proportional to atmospheric pressure & inversely proportional to density.                                                        A.P.=K*D*T                                                           T=A.P*1/D where,A.P.=atmospheric pressure;K=constant;D=density;T=temperature      During the summer season in either of the hemisphere's the sun is vertically overhead of the tropic of cancer/capricorn.The land which has a low specific heat capacity & also being a bad conductor of heat re-radiates the heat to the atmosphere resulting in the spreading of molecules of atmospheric gases due to the heat energy. As molecules spread over a wide region it's pressure on the land becomes l
