I have always found Linksys / Cisco products to be the easiest, and most reliable routers on the market. This was a perfect match for me when I was offered to do a review / giveaway of a Linksys / Cisco Valet wireless router.
The Valet comes with a “Easy Setup Key” for configuring your device/devices fast, and easy. The Valet is a router capable of “N” speeds. There are also enhanced parental controls that help aid in restricting keywords, sites, and even time that a computer can surf. Different than previous Linksys routers that I have had this one has a “Guest” account so that your login information is different than anyone that may be visiting, and using your router temporarily. This Valet handles 4 wired computers.
Within 10 minutes of unboxing I had this router fully working. My network required a bit more time because it is on a Server so I reconfigured some of my computers to a seperate network for this purpose. I recommend this router for anyone that has ever had a problem getting a router installed, or anyone that just doesn’t want to have a computer technician come out to install a wireless router. The only thing that I didn’t like was the color. I got used to the blue/black coloring of the original routers, and also I just don’t like white.
Cisco Valet wireless routers (www.thevalet.com) are the super-simple fool-proof way to set up wireless in the home in 3 easy steps and the perfect companion to all the hot consumer electronics this season that require wi-fi. Since it’s so simple to set up, Valet is the perfect companion to consumer electronics gifts and also the best way to make sure even your most tech-challenged friends or relatives have a wireless connection. So no more visits to the coffee shop for your wireless connection when you’re visiting them unless it’s actually for coffee!
