I protect with kim doc. Here's the deal. Your router is a gold line for data finding everything from banking details to personal messages. If left unprotected, hackers can watch your online activity, but there's something else they can do, hijacked or network for larger attacks by adding IT to a botnet.

Think of that like an army of infected devices, where each router, smart T, V or device, is used to Carry out, ordinate attacks without the owner ever knowing. So how do they get in these chinese hackers? Focus on writers that never get updates or have easy passwords.

Once the last time you check yours, if it's been a while, lock IT down. First change the faul password if you're still using ad minor, one, two, three, four, you're just inviting them in. Sign up for my free newsletter.

And IT has to be twelve, and more characters ready passes here to end the madness for good. You're gonna love this. You can forget jugged dozens or even hundreds of passwords.

Ds, you only need to remember one password that's IT nor passed. Remembers in auto fills. S, all your passwords, credit card and personal information details so that you can focus only on what matters most.

I love all the extra features, such as the data bridge scanner that let you know if your credentials were exposed in a dad league, your passers will be stored securely because nord pass uses the strongest military grade encryption, making IT impossible for hackers to crack your credentials.

Let's see. How about we start this hour with key in long beach, new york. Hello, there are keys.

Hello, kim, I don't know if you can help me, but I have purchased so many different. Go to text. Uh, I am talking you good ones uh yeah play thongs s and such and they just the the the connection was just drop off and whether it's my computer or myself self uh and you know it's like, I don't know what i'm doing on, but i'm looking for something that I can depend .

on and so what what's happening is that just losing the connection in the middle of a cold. Is that matter whatever you using are you want to mac or windows?

I mean, uh so uh actually when I spoke with your assistant of a little bit a did called disrupt on on my yeah yeah it's somebody say IT just happen but IT is no pattern. There's no constant. And you know this is this is my my business line as you will so I need that phone to .

work um you know all the basics. You know you got all the updates for all the devices um and is that windows or mac to .

reducing IT? Is windows and .

then what kind of phone .

I have a one plus seven that should work .

all that should work pretty fine. Um and you know just let you know like the range before blue tooth, you want to keep that around ten feet that sounds like you're probably than ten feet, right?

I'm inches away.

alright.

It's really hard sometimes to diagnose and do tech support on the air really is course. I can tell you that you know if you are using ear buds um that you may have Better luck with that because it's maybe the latest technology and that IT may be more inclined to work with the newest stuff like the one plus phone and the windows laptop maybe then something like a plan chronics.

Um i'm all i'm all apples, so I am using apple airports and they work fabulously. John, our text, our tech guy here is who's just great about everything. He keeps his samsung earbuds and all day long.

So so maybe instead of looking at a headset, maybe we look at you, look at some of them. And I am happy to point you to like even rk on those are fabulous herods and they're like eighty box. And so maybe might have Better luck and pairing those devices.

But if you have all the system updates for your devices and that includes your phone, and I mean, you really shouldn't have those type of issues. You could have maybe some interference, but even those problems have been solved over the years that now you just if you have a pair of earbuds, it's just like, oh, you have earbuds which you like to connect to yeah okay, you know. So it's not like you have to go through all these generations.

The only time that I find where my blue tooth might not work properly is if I have multiple devices that are attached to IT. And so where I have the airports attached to my macbook, my phone and my car, that sometimes it's like, okay, i'm confused. Where do you want me to be? You know so i'm like like i'm confused too. So you know, that's where you have actually pick IT IT off the list.

So I would try and I hate to make you good bye something else, but I would try know if you go to rake on reconduct command if I think if there's if you know there are a sponsor on our podcast, not here on the show, but I use rans as well as that if you do, if you use promo code, kid, I think you're going to say like fifteen percent or something like that. So reconduct com, and i've used them. I've tested them before I put my name attached to them.

I did make sure that they worked with a lot of devices. We test to them here in the studios two. And you can go on amazon.

There is like a thousand different area buds, and I know that. So that's where you know you have samsung. You wanted get those if you're on anything else, you won't take a look these recons.

And if you're on apple, it's really hard to beat the ipod pro. I mean, I know they're super expensive. They're like tribble the costs at the rate cons, but they are pretty darn good. And especially when you start working with all the all the electronics that go along with IT.
