Wi-Fi Becomes Easier


Recently Cisco is aiming to make Wi-Fi easy with its first router for homes. Well this popular company is behind the best-selling Flip video camera, therefore now they want to show there talents for home networking what they did for video. They just want to make it drop-dead easy.

Recently Cisco, the networking giant released its first consumer router, the $99 and $149 Valet. It definitely promises to take the hassle out of setup and automatically puts a Wi-Fi network together.

According to Cisco eighty percent of there routers are sold to experts and the 20% of the mainstream who buy them to end up returning them because they are just too hard to use and set up.

But it is definitely not that complicated as this Wi-Fi router need a USB dongle which will be inserted in the USB slot on the computer. Your passwords and your Web keys will be automatically set via your Cisco's software. And if you want to add additional computers to your Wi-Fi network, just insert the USB into each machine.

You can choose your Valet models from these two options. First one is $99 version for small to midsize homes and a $149 for larger homes that require a bigger signal.

If you want to set up the Wi-Fi network manually, you can bypass the automatic settings. Therefore let’s hope that these apps will push people to buy the new Wi-Fi routers.
