Notes Unfortunately last month I came back to my Vauxhall Astra MK4 only to find out someone had reversed into it with a tow bar. Upon inital upset I found a new replacment bumper for my ASTRA MK4 on ebay in my exact colour ( Matt Black ) for £30 ( £45 Inc Delivery ). This wasn’t too bad I thought as my other bumper did have some wear and tear! After I recieved the bumper my next task was to swap the bumpers .. easier said then done. Luckily I found an online guide here
Here goes my Guide ( Click on pictures to get a larger version ) :
Tools : No.20 Torx Bit 
Small Flat Screw driver 
Long Nose Pliers 
Step 1
Using the Torx 20 Screw Driver , Under 2 Screws on inside the right and lef wheel arch as shown via the picture. If difficultly getting the screwdriver in , turn the stearting to full right and left lock depending on the side
Step 2
Get undernearth the bottom of your bonnet. You are looking for 3 Clips as shown
. Use the flat head screwdriver to leaver the top of the pin out, after this has come out , Pull the rest of the pin out with the long nose pliers. After these have been removed , gently pull the sides away of the wing’s of the bumper as shown to loosen them
Step 3
Open the car bonnet ( Leaver by the side of the driver footwell! ) and find 2 more clips on the top of it. Use the screwdriver again to leaver out the top of the pin, then use the long nose pliers to pull out the whole pin. Once these are out you can gently pull away at the side and the front and the bumper should come right off!

Notes 
WET54G Close Up
Recently after setting up a Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G
to bridge an Xbox 360 to a wireless network rather than using a Xbox 360 Wireless Card
, it randomly lost its configuration. Reconfiguring this device should of been easy , but not when Linksys try and make it hard as possible to get the information out!
- Right , so first port of call , hold down the reset button for 30 Seconds to reset to factory configurations
- Linksys’ “quick guide” states that you need the CD to start the Configuration Launcher .. Who Keeps CD’s Nowadays?
- Try and find the Software on the WET54G Page with My Version 2 Product
- Nothing! , Contact Linksys 24/7 Chat Support , After 10 Mins , shows me back to the download Page
- After more investigation this is only available on the Version 3 Product Page ??? Here’s the link you need! WET54G_Wizard_2_13.zip
- Installed the Configuration Software however if you are doing this remotely for a friend via his Wireless Internet and the Bridge is connected to the Ethernet Port , the software can’t check both ports even if if windows can ping it!
- Right , Go to it Manually , its standard IP address is
IP Address : 192.168.1.226
Username : *Don’t Enter one!*
Password : admin
From here you can fully configure the product and rejoin it to the wireless network!

Notes
- ATM Quality
- On the Fly Trade Up Between Raw Capcity of Line and Quality
- Backhaul is how one Wimax tower would speak to the other ( 5Ghz Range )
- Needs to be Lower the 10 Ghz Due to the Technogy for Long Distance
Non Line Of Site ( Convient forMobile Users )
- Lower Frequency ( Under 10 Ghz )
Line Of Site ( Higher Bandwidth Lower Error Rates )
- Higher Frequency (10 – 66Ghz )
Inverse Fast Fourier Transform is used in a WiMAX transmitter
Fast Fourier Transform) is used in a WiMAX receiver
How It Works?
- Base Stations want to communicate with WiMax Access Point By Random Interupt
- MAC uses scheduling Algorithm
- Once Completed they are given a Slot at the access point which can be adjusted and will remain the base stations untill not needed
- QoS Is Balanced By the access point depending on the users QoS Settings
