Cisco Valet Wireless Router Giveaway for Grads!
Giveaway sponsored by Cisco
Congratulations to Linda from Winchester, CA for winning the Cisco Valet!
If you have a child graduating from college who will soon be living on their own, 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.

I want this Cisco Valet Wireless Router so we can rid ourselves of all those cords snaking throughout our home…and because it is an excellent product.
Thank you. 
I would use this when my friends come over to visit. I have one who comes at least once a week.It would also be for my daughter.
My old D-link router is giving up on me. Recently I just start having a lot of dropped and weak connections. So this would be a great replacement to my old router, and it can finally rest in peace.
Already a subscriber…My parents are 81 years old and the grandkid just bought then a laptop so they can keep in touch with the great grandkids when they fly away for the winter…This sounds like something they could hook-up themselves…..thanks
Amazing timing. I constantly have to reset my router and it is driving me bonkers! I have to go unplug it and wait awhile and then plug it back in again. This would be wonderful. Thanks!
With one in middle school and one starting college and both at home computers are a necessity. It would be nice to not trip over all the cords running through the house.I am already a subscriber.
I would love to have this for my daughter who is going to college in the fall. I am a subscriber.
I am an email subscriber! I would love to win this for my son who will be going away to college!
I subscribe. I have had nothing but problems with my current wireless router. My new house has only one line coming in for the DSL making a working router all the more necessary.
I am a subscriber (FB and email) and would love to get this because I was JUST looking at these online and thinking about getting one! Booya!
I am a subscriber, I would love to win this because i’m always’ on the internet getting things’ done for my extended family, and would love to have a new router, because my old one has been giving us nothing but trouble. thanks for this chance
This one would be welcomed in my home. It would help with my spaghetti cables problem (only myself to blame there). I’d be able to walk around my home without wondering if today I’ll break a leg (literally) or something else.
This is the first home router I’ve seen that makes provision for a separate “guest” network. This would really be useful for me!

I’m a subscriber - and I’d love to have the new Cisco Valet for my niece, who now has an apartment of her own and will be studying music at the university!
i am a subscriber and love all the info. i would love to win as we now have 2 computers in the household and hope to get a laptop soon - this would come in handy.
We are all switching from desktops to laptops in our home office, and aside from being the accounting department, office manager, inventory control and customer service I am also somehow multi-platform ‘tech support’ here in my ‘free’ time, this usb key made me do a ‘tim the toolman taylor grunt of satisfaction’ which means it’s VERY HIGH in my MUST HAVE list!
Awesome! Who wouldn’t want a Cisco Valet Wireless Router? Once you set it up, you can print to a wireless printer from anywhere in the house. In fact, with spring being here now, taking your laptop outside to enjoy the great weather would be fabulous! Thanks for the chance to win this great prize.
