  • Google To Release Software Update for Nest WiFi Pro Routers To Fix Slow Internet Speeds

    Google To Release Software Update for Nest WiFi Pro Routers To Fix Slow Internet Speeds

    San Francisco, Nov 13: Google will release a software update for the new Nest Wifi Pro early next week to address the slow Internet speeds being experienced by some users.

    Sanjay Noronha, Google Nest Wifi’s product lead said that “the company is currently investigating reports of a small number of users experiencing reduced Internet speeds on Nest Wifi Pro routers, and that its teams are working to roll out a fix,” as reported by The Verge. Twitter $8 Blue Subscription Service To Return by End of Next Week, Elon Musk Confirms.

    Google launched the Nest Wifi Pro mesh router last month, touting support for faster Wi-Fi 6E, which is capable of speeds of up to 5.4Gbps.

    It also adds a 6GHz band to help reduce network congestion and automatically adjusts “network performance to minimise disruptions.”

    However, many users reported on the Google Nest community forum about an issue causing capped download and upload speeds ranging anywhere from 40Mbps to 90Mbps.

    Users said their old Nest Wifi Pro, which only supports Wi-Fi 5, outperformed the new device, according to a media report. Mass Layoffs: Sacked Tech Employees Find It Difficult To Get Jobs As Companies Freeze Hiring Amid Global Slowdown.

    These issues do not affect everyone who purchased the new router, though.

    As confirmed by Google, it primarily affected the users in the UK who used point-to-point protocol over ethernet (PPPoE) networks.

    Many digital subscriber lines (DSL) providers use this system, which requires users to configure their router with a username and password before they can connect to the Internet, according to the report.

    Based on the reports on the forum, the issue has also been reported to be affecting users in the US and other parts of Europe, as well as those with fiber, the report added.

  • Wordvice’s Free Citation Generator Speeds Up Document Preparation for Academic Researchers

    Wordvice’s Free Citation Generator Speeds Up Document Preparation for Academic Researchers

    A free citation generator released by Wordvice, the global leader in language editing and proofreading, will help researchers properly format the references and in-text citations of their research documents.

    The Wordvice Citation Generator automatically applies the formatting rules of specific academic style guides, allowing for formatting consistency. The free tool, which is also free of ads and third-party content, is an easy solution for authors looking to speed up the manuscript preparation process.

    It can also format citations in a number of the most common academic styles, including APA Style, MLA Style, Chicago Style, and Vancouver Style. Most online citation generators offer formatting in only one or two styles.

    Wordvice’s tool also comes with corresponding citation style guides, giving advice on in-text citations and clearly explaining the updates in newer editions. Authors can build reference lists, save their citations, and – for Microsoft Word documents – copy-paste citations directly into their paper’s References section.

    Wordvice CEO Jonghwan Lee said that, with increased competition in the online freelance services market, it was vital to offer editing that was not only competitively priced but provided users with added value.

    He said: “We have expanded from a simple admissions and academic editing company to a one-stop shop where authors can find answers to any questions they have about writing and formatting research content, publishing in their target journals, and fixing basic grammar and punctuation issues.”

    As well as the hundreds of academic resource articles published on its website, Wordvice has now added user-focused content on English language rules, including a guide to editing and proofreading.

    These materials are designed to help readers improve their writing and proofreading and to use Wordvice’s English editing services once they have drafted and self-edited their journal manuscripts.
