Cisco Valet Wireless Router Giveaway for Father's Day!
Giveaway sponsored by Cisco
If your father is still cabled to his router, or you want to set up a wireless in your own home but have been putting it off because of the complexity of setting it up, the Cisco Valet line is for you.
Cisco® is pairing its wireless technology leadership with Flip Video’s simplicity-in-design approach to launch Valet™ -- a breakthrough new product line that makes home wireless simple and accessible for everyone.
Quick Set-Up and Simple Management
Valet is the first wireless product line to make it simple for anyone to set up and manage their own home wireless network. Getting started with Valet is incredibly easy. Consumers simply insert the included USB set-up key right into their PC or Mac and the Cisco Connect software takes over. Unlike other wireless products that require 20 to 30 complicated steps to set up, Valet takes only three steps from start to finish. The Valet set-up key retains all set-up information and can be easily inserted into additional home computers to add them to the home’s wireless seamlessly.
Personalized Wireless Experience
Once set up, Valet gives you a simple way to manage your home wireless experience. The included Cisco Connect software makes it easy to: 1) add additional devices to the network, 2) set parental controls, 3) provide Internet access for guests on a separate guest network and 4) customize personal security settings such as passwords.
Valet also provides a new level of control for parents with simple tools to manage their family’s online experience. Valet’s Cisco Connect software lets parents easily set controls on the fly, so they can modify web usage for certain days and times of the week, or even for temporary periods. If teens are spending too much time on social networks or game systems, for example, parents can modify their wireless access so that they cannot go online after 9:00 pm on weeknights. Internet access for each personal device connected to a Valet - from a computer, to a gaming system, to a smartphone - can be individually controlled or changed as needed for the particular child or teen, including blocking inappropriate web content.
In addition, Valet makes it easy to set up wireless access when friends or family come to visit. With a completely separate wireless connection, guests can use their laptops or mobile phones around the house, while the main Valet home network remains secure and private.

It would make our world wireless and expand access to the net from anywhere in our home. It would also bring a smile to Dad on his day…
I subscribe and I’m going into college soon and this would help me get online when at the library!
I want it so I can be wireless in my home.

So hopefully I don’t have to go unplug it like I do my current model to actually get it to start working again
I’d like to win this Cisco Valet wireless router because I just got a laptop and would like to set up wireless network.
A great improvement for my old router. I’ve been hoping that the old workhouse wouldn’t die before I could get a replacement. This would be perfect.
Already a Linksys wireless customer, for several years now!! This would totally hook our house up allover, & would also be a much easier way to connect up all our tech equipment…phones, puters, Wii, etc. We could definitely use an upgrade here!!
I’m a subscriber. I can get my neighbors wireless connection easier and cleaner than when trying to access my wireless which is in the same room I am! Getting an iPad from work soon and i want to be able to take advantage of it!
I love that it has easy installation.Thanks for the chance.

Already a subscriber, My current router sucks, I constantly have to unplug it and wait awhile and then plug back in, Why? Who knows but it sucks. This would totally freak me out if I actually turned on my laptop and didnt have to go reset the router.
A subscriber. I would use this router to set up a network when I move for myself and the lady. The wireless and ease of use make this a very viable option.
Thanks.
I am a subscriber!
I love electronics and this is a fantastic wireless router! I love Cisco products and setting up a wireless network would make life easy! Thank for the chance
I subscribe and would love to win this because it would be so wonderful to get rid of a few more cords, not to mention the box I call a “router” right now. Thank you!
I’m a subscriber.
My family is still using an old wired router and I’d really like to upgrade to a simple wireless router.
This would make it so easy for me. I could finally get my sister’s computer hooked up with mine without more wires and my photo printer is set up for wireless also. I already subscribe.
I’d like the router to give me the freedom to work with my laptop in more areas of the house and yard.
Since I am a father, does it count for me to try and win myself?? Besides my father does not understand Internet, no matter how hard I try to explain, or get him involved. And yes I am a subscriber.
