Linksys by Cisco Valet Plus Wireless Hotspot Product Details

Linksys by Cisco Valet Plus Wireless Hotspot
With Valet Plus, home wireless has never been easier. Valet Plus gives you the power to quickly and simply make your home wireless. The included Easy Setup Key gets you connected to the Internet in just a few minutes. Cisco Connect ™ software, pre-loaded on the Easy Setup Key, lets you quickly link your other wireless devices and manage your home wireless with ease. Remember when going wireless required technical expertise and hours of effort? Not anymore, the Cisco Linksys M20 Valet Plus Wireless Gigabit Router works effortlessly.

Set Up in Minutes
The Linksys by Cisco Valet Plus Wireless Hotspot gets you connected in a few simple steps. Gone are the days when wireless setup was a frustrating process with lots of complicated steps and confusing terminology. Simply insert the included Easy Setup Key to launch Cisco Connect software, breeze through the simple screens, and you're wireless. It's that easy.

Get Everything Connected
Your Linksys by Cisco Valet Plus Wireless Hotspot empowers you to enjoy all the benefits of your wireless home. Surf the Internet on your laptop, print wirelessly from anywhere in the house, check your email from your smart phone, and even stream your favorite movies and TV shows to your HDTV. Valet Plus makes it all possible.

Customize Parental Controls
Easy-to-use Cisco Connect software lets you set custom parental controls on the wireless devices in your home, so you can keep your children's Internet time safe and fun. Restrict Internet usage during certain hours, block unwanted sites, or ensure age-appropriate content with "Teen" and "Child" settings—and customize these controls by device. With parental controls, you're in charge.

Internet for Everyone
Cisco Connect makes it a breeze to give wireless access to visiting friends and family. Remember when getting a guest connected entailed finding a 15-character password you had jotted down on a piece of paper months earlier? Not anymore. Just open Cisco Connect, and with a few simple clicks of your mouse, you'll have a temporary password you can pass along to your guests—without having to share your personal passwords and private information. Managing your home wireless has never been this easy.

Great Hotspot

This hotspot has great range, one of the main reasons I got it, and the guest feature is great. It also looks great wherever you decide to put it. I would highly recommend it.

Not very happy with it

Very, very easy setup. The reason we bought it is due to the built-in guest account that allows isolated Internet-only guest wifi access (as a free wifi hotspot, although it is limited to 10 simultaneous guest logins). But the range is terrible. It sits right next to a Wireless-G 2WIREXXX DSL router and the signals are virtually identical in all spots. N should be way stronger, but this one is not. No way to add a better antenna. If you need the range, you're going to be unhappy with this.

Quality Product!

I will spare you the nightmare I had trying to install another manufacturers inferior product. Lets just say in comparison, this Cisco Valet Plus practically installs itself. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a reliable, easy to install, wireless router.
