How to submit your article to a journal/arXiv:

1. Open the overleaf and check for everything one last time. Compile it. You should be satisfied with yourself for the submission.

2. Go to submit in the upper section and select arXiv. This will give multiple options — but select the ‘download file with .zip extension.’

3. After a while, it will download a .zip file containing all the necessary files, e.g., .tex files, a .bbl file, a .bib file, and a file containing all the plots (remember that the plots should be in .pdf format to get compiled in arXiv and any other journal).

   1. After downloading the project from overleaf, the plots will be in .eps format, because you have used it. Open the .tex file on your desktop (using texmaker or something like that) and compile the project once. It will create a copy of the .eps files in .pdf format, which can then be renamed for future use (use the same name used in .eps format).

   2. Once the renaming is done, change the .eps extension in the .tex file for each plot with .pdf and recompile it. At this point, the graphics path also should be removed, and all the plots in the project should be kept in the same directory as the .tex file.

4. Make a directory with a name as you wish and put the main .tex file, associated .text files,  .bbl file (reference file), and all plots with .pdf extension and compress everything in a .zip file.

5. Upload the .zip file to the arXiv/journal server. It should compile the project without any errors.

6. Go ahead with the submission.

Cheers.

WiFi Router configuration

Here I will discuss a very important troubleshoot to configure your WiFi router. Once you have a wifi router (a new one or an older one), reset it using a reset key backside. If it is new, you can skip this. Afterwards, follow the steps below:

1. After plugging it to a power supply, put an active LAN connection to the WiFi. This can be from any working outlet port in your house or office. 

2. Different light indicators of the router will start blinking. Once you see the steady green light from the LAN connection, you will have to connect to default SSID of the WiFi.

3. The SSID can be found from the sticker from back/beneath the router. You will also get a default password to connect. Join the network.

4. To change the SSID and password, go to a browser (stay in the WiFi network) and type: https://192.168.1.1 (default admit page of any WiFi connection).

5. It will ask for a username and password. Default username is admin, and for password, check the sticker again (there are two passwords given--one for connecting to the WiFi for the first time and other is to login in the admin page).

6. After the login is successful, you can configure everything from this page. For example, changing SSID, 2G/5G bandwidth, limit on the users, adding network points, etc.

Note: You can even change any default SSID provider by the service provider (e.g., Airtel_ for any Airtel networks). 

Cheers.
