Roomba Roomba cha-cha- cha

When all is said and done, buy a broom or control your bot

Buy the cheap Roomba. It can’t connect to Wi-Fi. It just, you know — vacuums your floor.

Buy the fancy Roomba and disable the cloud sharing function in the iRoom Home app.

Set up MAC address filtering on your router. This is a bit tech-intensive, but it boils down to this: every device you connect to the net has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address You can give your router a list of MAC addresses, and tell it not to let anyone in unless they’re on the list. This works to stop any Wi-Fi-capable appliance in your household from connecting to the net. Check your router instructions; it’s worth looking into.

And one we should all be doing to stop hackers- change default passwords on all devices that have not been changed from the original or for a fairly long time. Have you heard or read about the powerful botnet dubbed Mirai?

It sounds dramatic, but regular people’s internet-enabled devices – routers, webcams, printers, roomba vacuums, and so on – were used in a massive online attack that shut down a huge part of the internet for hours one Friday morning last October.

Does your Internet security provide you with access to scan for vulnerabilities in your home networks?

Until you do a scan, the question remains, how smart are you about your smart home?

till next time ...

About Fran Klasinski

Hello and welcome to a bit about me.

After 20 plus years in the internet marketing game, the little bit becomes a whole lot. I am a copywriter and a blogger.
My first love is writing and it has stuck with me during my online career. Googling Fran Csaszar and Fran Klasinski, will paint a more detailed picture. as will reading two of my blogs listed here on my Profile page.

I run the gamut from woman to wife, to mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, (In a few months I make the great great-grandmother level). My family is large and my pride and joy. The older they all get, the more it scares me. Do I really have to admit I am getting ahem older?

I like working with new and experienced people alike on the net. Getting to know you is fun as we find out we have so much in common. It becomes easy to share mutual knowledge to help you make better choices that result in you realizing your dreams.

Easy Business Builder is a wonderful platform providing me with all the tools to create pages that could just fit nicely on my websites. My practice board so to speak. A place we can again share what we learn.

What I can't get over, is the complete list building tools that include unlimited autoresponders and tons of emails to fit what I am promoting - EBB for certain, as everybody needs what it provides. It has saved me a fortune in separate tools costs; relieved the worry of running out of space on my various autoresponder automation; and provided me the time to learn and use the saved time wisely learning and implementing the full meaning of 80% marketing and 20% seeking new prospects.

Does that mean? Leads + conversions = income. And I have the time to look after each of you because of time saved

I look forward to meeting you. IF You use skype: then add me. Lets connect and get to know one another.
