How to choose the best mobile hotspot to stay connected everywhere

If your old router is giving you problems, it’s time that you get a new one – with these tips.
By The Editors | editor@themetrognome.in

Choosing a router can be a tedious task as there are so many in the market. Here are some tips that will help you to decide on the perfect router.

1. Wireless standards

Make the best of a fast Internet connection. Get a router that offers 802.11ac or Gigabit Wi-Fi support. This wireless standard is supposed to be twice as fast as the previous 802.11n with a 1,300 Mbps throughput at the base level. This wireless standard is also compatible with older devices. However, with older devices, you will not benefit from the extra you get as in the case of newer devices.

2. Hardware

While selecting a portable router, it is important to ensure that it fits your pocket and is lightweight and easy to carry around. These routers also come in different colors, shapes, and designs.

3. Life span

Your Wi-Fi router is never going to last forever. Every day, it goes through a lot of load as it handles the Internet connection between your phone, computer, laptop, TV, and every other device at home or elsewhere. As more and more devices are connected to your router, the list keeps on increasing. This leads to degradation in your its performance. Also, wireless standards change often that make your router obsolete sooner. Depending on how many devices your router can connect to before showing a dip in performance as well as its technology, the life span of the router may be determined.

4. Coverage

This is a very important thing to consider. Even if you may carry your router anywhere and everywhere, you do not want to use the Internet while hugging your router. Ensure that your router has enough coverage for you to manage it. You could even use your old router to extend the Wi-Fi range

5. Cost

There is a wide-range of router prices. However, if you just need a portable router for simple daily tasks, you may want to skip the extremely high-end ones. Another reason to skip high-end ones is that changing technologies would make the router obsolete after a few years. Depending on your needs, look for a budget-friendly option.

What to do with your old router once you get a new one?

Once you get a new router, it is very easy to just connect to it and throw out the old one. However, even this old router may be really useful. If your old router is working, you could use it to extend your Internet connection to a wide area. This will let multiple people use your router even if they are in different rooms. You could even exchange it with your service provider or retailer for a discount on your new router.

Before buying a new router, keep all of these points handy and make sure that your router meets them well. So, choose the cheapest, fastest, and most reliable router and enjoy a seamless experience with the high-speed 4G Internet.

What are the benefits of GST?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced by the Government of India with the aim of normalising the tax law.
By The Editors | editor@themetrognome.in

The indirect tax regime was introduced to simplify the process of tax registration and filing and to bring all the goods and services under a single umbrella.

Compared to the old taxation system prevalent in the pre-GST period, the new rule has a number of advantages. Some of the GST benefits are as follows:

  • Cascading effect

The new tax regime would prevent the tax on tax effect, which is the cascading effect on the taxes applied. This would prevent double taxation.

  • Single law

GST would harmonise the taxation law in the country. It is a single law, which caters to all brackets of goods and services.

  • Competitive edge in the international markets

GST would provide exporters a competitive advantage by the medium of neutralisation of taxes, which would positively affect their cost price.

  • Investments

The law would encourage investments and would lay grounds for more apt investments in the country.

  • Reduced tax burden

The average tax burden on the companies would come down. This would help them in reducing prices of their products and services. This would insinuate the production and would provide impetus in industrial improvement.

  • Reduced tax leakages

The new tax system has provided online mediums for registering and filing taxes. This is a much simplified medium for payment of taxes. This would help in reduced tax evasions. This medium would provide stipulated and common timelines for the tax payers.

  • Common procedures

The system has introduced common procedures for registration and filing of tax. This makes the taxation uniform and simplified.

  • Transparency

The new system is much more transparent in comparison to the old system. It provides more transparency, more efficient and effective compliance, impetus to the industries, manufacturers, common people and the overall GDP growth.

The new taxation can also be looked in the light of impact on trade and consumers. In comparison to the old system, below are the benefits of GST for trade, commerce, and common man.

Benefits to traders (Industries, e-commerce, other business enterprises) Benefits to consumers (citizens)

 
·     Single law, no multiple taxations ·    Simplified taxation
·     No cascading effect or double taxation

 

 ·    Reduction in cost/price of production due to elimination of cascading effects
·     Impetus to exporters ·    Uniformity in prices
·     Simplified rule ·    Transparent taxation, common law
·     Fewer tax brackets ·    Boosts economic growth and benefits the consumers

 
·     No parity between goods and services ·    Helps increase the GDP

Thus, it is quite evident that the new taxation regime would not only be beneficial for the common man but also help in the development of the overall economy of the country.
