Get faster online with Windows 8

With Windows 8 makes it easier to go online when you're on the go.

Microsoft promises that it will be easier to connect to mobile broadband and wireless networks with the upcoming Windows 8 According to Building Windows 8-blog . In the future you no longer need to install special drivers or other software to connect to mobile broadband. Today, typically a special program from its telecom operator to connect to 3G networks. It will be different with Windows 8, which Microsoft has developed a hardware specification and a common driver together with the industry. This driver should work with virtually all 3G modems and kept constantly updated through Windows Update. Microsoft uses the so-called Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM), developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). If you have a 3G modem without binding to a single operator, one can also freely choose their provider and data packet directly to Windows 8, then the settings sent directly to the modem. It's all managed through the control panel in Windows 8, where you can both manage connections to wireless networks and mobile network . You can also enable and disable each radio chips such as WLAN, Bluetooth and 3G, or switch them all over in flight mode. It recalls the features known from smartphones. The properties of the individual compounds can also see how much data traffic is sent over each connection. It can be handy if you pay a certain amount of traffic. Windows 8 also sees to automatically switch between different networks. Basically preferred WLAN over mobile networks. If Windows 8 will find a wireless network, the connection to the mobile network and the modem is switched off to save power. Users can even create a list of preferred networks. Moreover, the new operating system be able to create a WLAN connection significantly faster than its predecessor. According to Microsoft, it takes about 11 seconds to restore a wireless network connection when Windows 7 wakes from sleep mode while Windows 8 can do it in just one second. Typically, Windows 8 online even before the screen is on. Windows Update now distinguish between the different connection types and only downloads updates if you are using a connection without traffic limitation. It does not apply to critical security updates. Here the user can also change the settings at any time.
