CLOSED. Giveaway: Cisco Valet Router

The Valet is  a new wireless router made just for people who are intimated by the traditional router. For those of us who may not be super tech savvy, this router has made it easy. You simply plug in a USB key and it does all the work for you.  Not only is it a reliable, solid router – it offers built in parental controls.

As a Mom of 2 little girls (who will be on the Internet sooner than I would like to think), the Internet security feature of the The Valet, is one I welcome.  I cannot imagine being worried about what websites my girls might visit or how long they will try to stay online at night. If you have a teenager, this is a great way to control the Internet usage, without putting software on the computer.

The Valet is made by the company who brought us the Flip video camcorders and it comes from  Cisco, a router brand that people know and trust. Along with its super easy setup, the Valet creates a guest network to go along with your main network. This gives your friends and family the ability to connect to the guest network – without disrupting your network.

If you would like to win the Cisco Valet, you get 3 chances to win!

This giveaway will run through Wednesday at seven PST.  Please be sure to leave a comment by clicking on comments in the lower right corner of this post.  (If you are viewing in a reader or on Facebook please click through to the blog to comment).  No entries via email, Facebook or Twitter will be considered.

REQUIRED ENTRY #1:  Tell me what you think the best feature of the The Valet is for your family.

BONUS ENTRY #2: You can like My Frugal Adventures on Facebook (or let me know you do!)

BONUS ENTRY #3: You can like  Cisco Valet on Facebook.

Please leave a separate comment for each!  Good luck!!

If you want to try for ELEVEN other Valets   you can check out the following sites:

So are you ready to get a giant box of these yummy bars for yourself?

This giveaway will run through Saturday 14th at noon PST.  Please be sure to leave a comment by clicking on comments in the lower right corner.  (If you are viewing in a reader or on facebook please click through to the blog to comment).  No entries via email, Facebook or Twitter will be considered.
