EXPERT ADVICE: How To Create Strong Passwords
We live in a password-driven world, where between four and 20 characters are the difference makers in whether you're able to access your data, communicate with friends, or make your online purchases. The problem is that passwords should be different everywhere you use them, and that can make it difficult to remember them all. And, if a password is truly strong, that makes it even more difficult. That's why we've put together this helpful password guide. Follow these tips and tricks to take total control of your terms for access.

REVIEW: Netgear ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316
There aren't too many AP-management offerings in the SMB market, so the ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 is a welcome rarity. The $910 price tag may seem expensive, but most of the other devices on the market are more enterprise oriented and more expensive. Netgear has created a true SMB wireless management device that doesn't require the expertise of a dedicated wireless network administrator to set up and run. If you're running a shop with many Netgear APs already in place, or plan to create a network with five to sixteen of them, the Netgear ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 is well worth the price.

REVIEW: Netgear ProSafe 5AP Wireless Management System WMS105
Netgear came up with a grand idea: give SMBs a low-cost, centralized way to manage multiple access points on their wireless network. The company's Netgear ProSafe 5 AP Wireless Management Software (WMS105) program auto-discovers up to five Netgear access points on a network, and lets administrators manage them through the software's interface. It's cheap, it's easy to use, and it helps you gain control of otherwise unruly networks. What's not to like?
