CLOSED. Giveaway: Cisco Valet Router

By

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

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.

    I think best feature is the security, was a victim of ID theft and that scares me to death and with websites today and certain routers, its hard to trust!

    With two young children, I’ve been thinking a lot about parental controls to protect them. This would take out all the guess-work!

    We would be able to use our laptop on the couch instead of a hard kitchen chair 🙂

    My favorite feature is the parental controls. I have a 13 year old son and I am always worried about him on the Internet. I trust him but I watched to many dateline shows that showed how easy it is for someone to lie about who they really are.

    Wireless = less cord mess. And makes it easy to use the laptops.

    i like that you can share with ease your connection with friends and family without them accessing your private network.

    I like the ease you describe with using this router! I am a non-techy and this product sounds right up my alley! I have a 6 year old who enjoys games on Lego so this would be great!
