WordPress Custom Page Template

To create a custom page template make a new file starting with a Template Name inside a PHP comment. Here’s the syntax:

<?php
/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/

Once you upload the file to your Theme’s folder, the template name, “My Custom Page”, will list in the Edit Page screen’s Template dropdown. (The select list has a maximum width of 250px, so longer names may be cut off.)

A custom page template file can be in a sub-folder, or, if using a Child Theme, in its Parent Theme’s folder.

NETGEAR Genie Setup

NETGEAR Genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. To use NETGEAR Genie to set up your router:

  1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
  2. Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.
  3. Launch your Internet browser. •
    1. The first time you are set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR Genie screen displays. •
    2. If you already used the NETGEAR Genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR Genie screen.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR Genie setup. NETGEAR Genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.

How to setup a Raspberry Pi with a hidden wireless network

After you install Raspbian to a SD card, boot up the Raspberry Pi and perform the following:

Launch a repository update
$ sudo apt-get update
Run a system upgrade
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Make sure that the latest Raspberry Pi firmware version is installed
$ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader
Install the wpa_supplicant utility
$ apt-get install wpasupplicant
WLAN setup and configuration for a hidden SSID wifi network
Generate a PSK version of your WLAN password with wpa_passphrase utility (Quotes are needed for whitespace)
$ wpa_passphrase "Your Wifi SSID" "Your Wifi PASSWORD"

Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto RSN WPA
wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP
wpa-group CCMP TKIP
wpa-ssid "Your Wifi SSID"
wpa-psk Your PSK Value
iface default inet dhcp

Save the changes and shutdown the Raspberry Pi. Power on the Raspberry PI and wait for the wireless to get a IP.
My router statically maps a IP to the network interfaces MAC address. If there are any issues, some helpful commands to detect hardware are the following: lsusb, lsmod, iwconfig
