How To Choose the Best Router For Your Home WiFi?
Choosing a reliable router is critical for getting the best WiFi performance out of your home network. Discover how to choose the best wireless router for your home WiFi.
In Nepal, we have routers ranging from low-end to very high-end for various customer classes. TP-Link, Nokia, NETGEAR, Digicom, and other brands are available. When you setup a new internet connection, you are given a default router that meets the most basic criteria. However, if you want to ensure optimal performance as well as improved security for your home network, you must consider a number of variables.
More antennas (MIMO) correspond to improved signal direction and allow you to receive the maximum bandwidth equitably across all of your devices. Using numerous antennas generates numerous streams of data packets over radio channels, increasing data speed to the devices.
Routers with only one antenna are a thing of the past. All ISPs now provide their clients with dual antenna routers. However, if you want greater confidence, you can purchase a router with three additional antennae if necessary. However, there are more performance criteria than just antennas, which brings us to frequency bands.
Dual-Band Or More
As our internet requirements grow, so should the functions of routers. We require routers that provide continuous connections while using the same bandwidth. This necessitates the use of a dual-band router capable of delivering a continuous connection. Routers operate on two frequencies: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. A 6 GHz model is on the way.
Another important element for modern companies or even households is the USB port. We can connect hard drives, printers, and other devices to the router and use them to run prints, examine data, and update software. If you have a USB C connector, you can charge your phone while making critical calls.
Currently, most routers that come included with ISPs include a USB 2.0 port. If you want to go a step further, get your new router with USB 3.0 and USB-Type C capability.
Router For Smart Home
In recent years, the concept of smart houses has grown in popularity. Although the definition of a smart home is hazy, it includes the use of IoT, Alexa, Chromecast, Sensors, and other devices that require a stable internet connection with a high bandwidth speed.
A router that is linked with Alexa or Google Assistant is required to supplement the demands for a Smart Home connection.
Having a router with smart home integration will allow you to run many apps and devices at the same time, resulting in a domestic eco-system. You can control the router by speaking commands to Alexa. You can enable or disable WiFi, switch off the router’s LED lights, and so forth.
If you want to buy a router that works with Alexa, you can go with the TP-Link Deco Voice X20 or look for others available in Nepal.
An extension is good for one or two rooms, but if you want a full WiFi network solution, a mesh router is your best alternative.
It is possible to infiltrate a greater area with a mesh Wifi router, such as the balcony or the basement, to the poolside.
Mesh routers use two or more connected devices to provide a consistent WiFi signal throughout your area. It’s similar to configuring a slew of routers at home. Mesh router settings will provide you with a flawless WiFi connection in any room or region of your home.
Mesh WiFi routers can easily found online.
Security Features
Security features are critical for protecting your home network from hackers and spies. Routers do include security measures such as antivirus software, VPNs, and other extensions to help safeguard the connection. The issue is that these features are not properly supported by routers with low-cost hardware.
The image above depicts a typical menu of a Wifi Router that comes standard with Ntc FTTH.
Search For Review
Allow yourself some time to research a specific router if you have your heart set on it. You should look at its performance, dependability band, and security features to see if it meets your needs.
You may find professional reviews on reputable websites, as well as consumer evaluations on YouTube. You can also read the buyer reviews and learn from their experiences. It does aid in determining whether the router you desire will satisfy your expectations. Learning ahead of time will save you money and help you avoid future regrets.
So those are the guidelines we prepared to assist you in determining your next best router. However, it is entirely dependent on your needs and budget. Most default routers provided by ISPs have a single band that operates at 2.4GHz. They have one or two USB 2.0 ports as well as basic security measures and a restricted network range.
Which One To Buy?
We have compiled a list of critical elements that will ensure you get the best performance out of your router. However, the following critical question is which one you would require. Do you require a WiFi router with a 5GHz band, or do you require a WiFi Mesh router for a greater area? Or would you be OK with a standard router with a 2.4GHz band?
The solution is in your goals. If you’re looking for a router for a large workplace with a lot of employees who use a lot of bandwidth, the default router from your ISP might not be the best option. Furthermore, network congestion may not be beneficial on a standard router. For constant performance, you may need to purchase a 5GHz router.
Meanwhile, if you’re only using it for your little family, any basic router will suffice. Spend less on specifications and more on dependability and ease.
In Nepal, you may purchase routers ranging in price from NRs. 2,000 to NRs. 15,000 or above. The major brands that offer numerous routers in various classes include TP-Link, Digicom, NETGEAR, and others. Mesh routers and repeaters are also available from several online retailers. As a result, first decide what features you want in a router before parting with your money. Having the greatest Wifi router is one strategy for increasing your internet speed.
Which WiFi router are you currently using? Are you happy with its signal range and performance, or do you intend to replace it? What features in a decent wireless router are most important to you? Please share your thoughts in the comments box below.

Introductory Tips on Trading Stocks
Everyone is looking for a quick and easy way to riches and happiness. It seems to be human nature to constantly search for a hidden key or some esoteric bit of knowledge that suddenly leads to the end of the rainbow or a winning lottery ticket.
While some people do buy winning tickets or a common stock that quadruples or more in a year, it is extremely unlikely, since relying upon luck is an investment strategy that only the foolish or most desperate would choose to follow. In our quest for success, we often overlook the most powerful tools available to us: time and the magic of compounding growth. Investing regularly, avoiding unnecessary financial risk, and letting your money work for you over a period of years and decades is a certain way to amass significant assets.
Here are several tips that should be followed by beginning investors.
Everyone is looking for a quick and easy way to riches and happiness. It seems to be human nature to constantly search for a hidden key or some esoteric bit of knowledge that suddenly leads to the end of the rainbow or a winning lottery ticket.
While some people do buy winning tickets or a common stock that quadruples or more in a year, it is extremely unlikely, since relying upon luck is an investment strategy that only the foolish or most desperate would choose to follow. In our quest for success, we often overlook the most powerful tools available to us: time and the magic of compounding growth. Investing regularly, avoiding unnecessary financial risk, and letting your money work for you over a period of years and decades is a certain way to amass significant assets.
Here are several tips that should be followed by beginning investors.
1. Set Long-Term Goals
Why are you considering investing in the stock market? Will you need your cash back in six months, a year, five years or longer? Are you saving for retirement, for future university expenses, to purchase a home, or to build an estate to leave to your beneficiaries?
Before investing, you should know your purpose and the likely time in the future you may have need of the funds. If you are likely to need your investment returned within a few months, consider another investment; the stock market with its volatility provides no certainty that all of your capital will be available when you need it.
By knowing how much capital you will need and the future point in time when you will need it, you can calculate how much you should invest and what kind of return on your investment will be needed to produce the desired result.
Remember that the growth of your portfolio depends upon three interdependent factors:
- The capital you invest
- The amount of net annual earnings on your capital
- The number of years or period of your investment
Ideally, you should start saving as soon as possible, save as much as you can, and receive the highest return possible consistent with your risk philosophy.
2. Understand Your Risk Tolerance
Risk tolerance is a psychological trait that is genetically based but positively influenced by education, income, and wealth (as these increase, risk tolerance appears to increase slightly) and negatively by age (as one gets older, risk tolerance decreases). Your risk tolerance is how you feel about risk and the degree of anxiety you feel when risk is present. In psychological terms, risk tolerance is defined as “the extent to which a person chooses to risk experiencing a less favourable outcome in the pursuit of a more favourable outcome.” In other words, would you risk NPR 1000 to win NPR 10,000? Or NPR 10,000 to win NPR 10,000? All humans vary in their risk tolerance, and there is no “right” balance.
Risk tolerance is also affected by one’s perception of risk. For example, flying in an aeroplane or riding in a car would have been perceived as very risky in the early 1900s, but less so today as flight and automobile travel are common occurrences. Conversely, most people today would feel that riding a horse might be dangerous with a good chance of falling or being bucked off because few people are around horses.
The idea of perception is important, especially in investing. As you gain more knowledge about investments – for example, how stocks are bought and sold, how much volatility (price change) is usually present, and the difficulty or ease of liquidating an investment – you are likely to consider stock investments to have less risk than you thought before making your first purchase. As a consequence, your anxiety when investing is less intense, even though your risk tolerance remains unchanged because your perception of the risk has evolved.
By understanding your risk tolerance, you can avoid those investments which are likely to make you anxious. Generally speaking, you should never own an asset which keeps you from sleeping in the night. Anxiety stimulates fear which triggers emotional responses (rather than logical responses) to the stressor. During periods of financial uncertainty, the investor who can retain a cool head and follows an analytical decision process invariably comes out ahead.
3. Control Your Emotions
The biggest obstacle to stock market profits is an inability to control one’s emotions and make logical decisions. In the short-term, the prices of companies reflect the combined emotions of the entire investment community. When a majority of investors are worried about a company, its stock price is likely to decline; when a majority feel positive about the company’s future, its stock price tends to rise.
A person who feels negative about the market is called a “bear,” while their positive counterpart is called a “bull.” During market hours, the constant battle between the bulls and the bears is reflected in the constantly changing price of securities. These short-term movements are driven by rumours, speculations, and hopes – emotions – rather than logic and systematic analysis of the company’s assets, management, and prospects.
Stock prices moving contrary to our expectations create tension and insecurity. Should I sell my position and avoid a loss? Should I keep the stock, hoping that the price will rebound? Should I buy more?
Even when the stock price has performed as expected, there are questions: Should I take a profit now before the price falls? Should I keep my position since the price is likely to go higher? Thoughts like these will flood your mind, especially if you constantly watch the price of a security, eventually building to a point that you will take action. Since emotions are the primary driver of your action, it will probably be wrong.
When you buy a stock, you should have a good reason for doing so and an expectation of what the price will do if the reason is valid. At the same time, you should establish the point at which you will liquidate your holdings, especially if your reason is proven invalid or if the stock doesn’t react as expected when your expectation has been met. In other words, have an exit strategy before you buy the security and execute that strategy unemotionally.
4. Handle Basics First
Before making your first investment, take the time to learn the basics about the stock market and the individual securities composing the market. There is an old adage: It is not a stock market, but a market of stocks. Your focus will be upon individual securities, rather than the market as a whole. There are few times when every stock moves in the same direction; even when the averages fall by 100 points or more, the securities of some companies will go higher in price.
The areas with which you should be familiar before making your first purchase include:
- Financial Metrics and Definitions. Understand the definitions of metrics such as the P/E ratio, earnings per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE), and compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Knowing how they are calculated and having the ability to compare different companies using these metrics and others is critical.
- Popular Methods of Stock Selection and Timing. You should understand how “fundamental” and “technical” analyses are performed, how they differ, and where each is best suited in a stock market strategy.
- Stock Market Order Types. Know the difference between market orders, limit order, stop market orders, stop-limit orders, trailing stop-loss orders, and other types commonly used by investors.
- Different Types of Investment Accounts. While cash accounts are the most common, margin accounts are required by regulations for certain kinds of trades. You should understand how margin is calculated and the difference between initial and maintenance margin requirements.
Knowledge and risk tolerance are linked. As Warren Buffett said, “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”
5. Diversify Your Investments
Experienced investors such as Buffett eschew stock diversification in the confidence that they have performed all of the necessary research to identify and quantify their risk. They are also comfortable that they can identify any potential perils that will endanger their position, and will be able to liquidate their investments before taking a catastrophic loss.
The popular way to manage risk is to diversify your exposure. Prudent investors own stocks of different companies in different industries, sometimes in different countries, with the expectation that a single bad event will not affect all of their holdings or will otherwise affect them to different degrees.
Imagine owning stocks in five different companies, each of which you expect to continually grow profits. Unfortunately, cirplusstances change. At the end of the year, you might have two companies (A & B) that have performed well so their stocks are up 25% each. The stock of two other companies (C & D) in a different industry are up 10% each, while the fifth company’s (E) assets were liquidated to pay off a massive lawsuit.
Diversification allows you to recover from the loss of your total investment (20% of your portfolio) by gains of 10% in the two best companies (25% x 40%) and 4% in the remaining two companies (10% x 40%). Even though your overall portfolio value dropped by 6% (20% loss minus 14% gain), it is considerably better than having been invested solely in company E.
6. Avoid Leverage/Margin Loan
Leverage/Margin loan simply means the use of borrowed money to execute your stock market strategy. In a margin account, banks and brokerage firms can loan you money to buy stocks, usually 50% of the purchase value. In other words, if you wanted to buy 1000 shares of a stock trading at NPR 100 for a total cost of NPR 100,000, your brokerage firm could loan you NPR 50,000 to complete the purchase.
The use of borrowed money “levers” or exaggerates the result of price movement. Suppose the stock moves to NPR 200 a share and you sell it. If you had used your own money exclusively, your return would be 100% on your investment [(200,000 -100,000)/100,000]. If you had borrowed NPR 50,000 to buy the stock and sold at NPR 200 per share, your return would be 300 % [(200,000-50,000)/$50,000] after repaying the NPR 50,000 loan and excluding the cost of interest paid to the broker (which is usually 16% and over).
It sounds great when the stock moves up, but consider the other side. Suppose the stock fell to NPR 50 per share rather than doubling to NPR 200, your loss would be 100% of your initial investment, plus the cost of interest to the broker [(50,000-50,000)/50,000].
A margin is a tool that can go extremely bad in a stock market like Bangladesh.
Final Thoughts
Stock investments historically have enjoyed a return significantly above other types of investments while also proving easy liquidity, total visibility, and active regulation to ensure a level playing field for all. Investing in the stock market is a great opportunity to build large asset value for those who are willing to be consistent savers, make the necessary investment in time and energy to gain experience, appropriately manage their risk, and are patient, allowing the magic of compounding to work for them. The younger you begin your investing avocation, the greater the final results – just remember to walk before you begin to run.

Kickstart Your Own Awesome Podcast
While half of the population of the United States is a loyal listener, many Nepalis are unfamiliar with the phrase “podcast.”
Podcasts have been popular in the United States, and they have the potential to becoming so in Nepal, because they may be listened to at any time. You may listen to your favorite podcasts on your commute, while working out, or while doing domestic tasks.
So, if you plan to establish your own business as a Nepali, you will have an advantage because this market has a lot of potential and is still unexplored. You may get the worm by getting up early. The best thing about starting your own podcast is that it costs very little money. All you’ll need at first is a microphone and a nice laptop.
You can start with it as a side hustle and work your way up to full-time status after it has gained a significant following. Here are some pointers for getting started with your own podcast.
1. Plan ahead
Consider the theme. There will be a theme for the podcast. It might be centered on political debates, or you could give life hacks. Also, consider if you want it to be completely scripted or completely spontaneous. When you choose a theme, you can listen to similar podcasts to gain a more in-depth understanding and better assistance for running your own show. You’ll understand what you need to do to stand out and engage your audience.
2. Be consistent
Once you’ve started, you’ll need to be very active to keep the users involved, or you’ll lose their attention. When Instagram only had 100 users, the app’s founders were more concerned with keeping those 100 users than with attracting new ones. As a result, if you do not update on a regular basis, you will lose users. Setting a deadline and making sure you meet it and release a new podcast when it’s due is the best way to go about it.
3. Keep a track of your audience
On top of that, you can monitor your audience’s response on your social media accounts and construct your podcast around it. You should review analytics data if you want to expand your user base and keep existing listeners engaged. In this case, you can use a hosting platform like Blubrry (https://www.blubrry.com/) to evaluate listener demographics.
4. Do not lose your focus
When your target audience is specialized, you must recognize that you cannot lose sight of them because they have been addicted to your podcast as a result of your targeted content. If your podcast is about how students may make money through side hustles, for example, you should not switch to another successful podcast with a large audience and instead start publishing podcasts about the current fashion trends.
5. Keep a relevant name
If your podcast is about startup success stories, you can call it after the type of content you provide. Because it allows users to find your podcast without having to read the details and then decide whether or not to listen. If your podcast’s title does not provide listeners a clear indication of the topics you cover, they may merely scroll through the list and never opt to click on your podcast. The ideal marketing technique is to keep a very distinct name.
6. Give your audience the best listening experience
Because podcasts are all about listening, it’s critical that the audio quality is excellent. You’ll need a microphone, microphone stand, USB box, compressor, and headphones to make a podcast. You must ensure that they are of the highest possible quality. Tim Ferris demonstrates how he sets up his podcast in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxVEcbh-Dk).
If you are just beginning, you can use your smartphone for recording voice. Don’t worry! these days smartphones come up with kickass microphones and can do the job very well.
7. Unravel the astonishing details of the story
If you want to make an impact, you need to unearth the most obscure details of the tale you’re presenting your audience. Guy Raz, a well-known podcaster, advises his guests that if they dive into their past and share previously unknown stories, people would be able to relate to them better and want to speak with them.
8. Get feedback before you launch
Inquire of your parents, as well as sincere friends or mentors. If you’re still in college, request that your teachers listen to you and provide you with valuable feedback. This will assist you in making final modifications, and you can honestly treat them as your listeners, using their comments to make changes as needed. Of course, you are the one who makes the decisions here, so you may choose which advice to disregard and which to follow.
Always keep in mind that overnight success is a fiction, and you’ll need a lot of patience to build and improve the podcast you’ve always wanted to do. Make a name for yourself in the podcasting world.
Best wishes!
