Tech review: The best router based on the size of your home

Your router is one of the most important devices in your home. The reason: It's how all your other gadgets get online! But a slow and unsecured router can create more problems than it solves, which is why you should choose carefully when buying a new one. It's not as simple as shopping based solely on price. Don't worry — we're here to help.

Getting my new computer set up

Q: I have a hard drive that's failing. I'm going to replace it, but I need to get a backup in place first. What's the best way to do this?

A: Off-site or cloud-based backup is your best bet. I always recommend my sponsor, IDrive, because it's just so easy to use. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. You can back up all your devices to one account, too. It's so handy to have just one login to access all your files.

You really can’t beat that price. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.


Need an app for me and the family

Q: I'm moving across the country to be closer to my kids and grandkids. I live alone. I want to know the best way for my kids to know where I am or how to find me if I would have an emergency occur when I was out hiking with my dog, exploring the area, etc. I have an iPhone.

A: I bet you're thrilled to be closer to family! I have the perfect app for all of you to try: Life360. It's the first-ever family safety membership, and the plans include so many helpful features. You and your loved ones can keep track of each other, get directions to each other and have access to emergency services in case of an emergency. You will love the features to keep an eye on the little ones, too.

You can try it out free for 7 days. Visit Life360.com/Kim. Good luck with the move!


Help! I'm over QuickBooks

Q: Is there ANYTHING I can use besides QuickBooks for my financials? The more I use QB, the more disgusted I become! HELP!

A: Sounds like you're drowning in spreadsheets. Don’t let QuickBooks slow you down, and stop paying for multiple systems that don’t give you the information you need when you need it. It’s time to upgrade to NetSuite by Oracle, the world’s No. 1 cloud business system.

NetSuite gives you visibility and control over your financials, HR, inventory, e-commerce and more — all in one place — instantaneously.

Want to check it out? Let NetSuite show you how they’ll benefit your business with a free product tour at NetSuite.com/Kim.
