 This Valet is Awesome Baby! September 9, 2010
CALI BOP
I have never worked with a more efficient product. 5 minutes and I was connected. No more creating bridges, etc. Valet Plus Rocks!
 Easy setup concerned about range September 7, 2010

Incredibly easy to set up. However, I had a WIFI product in the next room (Airport Express) and my streamed music was fading in and out. Only one drywall separated the two.
Much better than our previous router. September 6, 2010
Jennifer (Troy, MI)
Our old router wouldn't allow wifi from the driveway or the back yard (where I often am with my son while he plays)...hooked up the new router, and BINGO! Good enough for my phone to not default to 3G. I also get a much stronger signal on my laptop than I did before (a strong four bars vs. a varying 2-3). Hubby said it was a breeze to set up as well--he was worried because there was no documentation included at all, but he said it was just plug and go.
Absolutely Incredible! September 6, 2010

This product is the one router that you need!
I consider myself to be extremely technologically advanced, but I was having problems at home.
I bought two new computers this week, and was having serious difficulties getting everything networked.
I decided to upgrade my 4+ year old router, and went with the Valet Plus. I could not have possibly made a better decision.
In just 25 minutes, I had connected my entire house.
My home is two levels, and just under 4,000 square feet.
I connected 1 desktop (Win 7), 3 laptops (2-Win XP, 1-Win 7), 1 netbook (Win 7 Starter), 3 Xbox 360s (2-360 Elites, 1-360 slim), 1 Nintendo Wii, 1 Nintendo DSi, 1 Nintendo DSi XL, and 2 Android Phones (1-Samsung Moment, 1-EVO 4G).
I simply inserted the included flash drive into the first computer, and we were off to the races. I even changed my network name (SSID) and password after connecting the first computer. The setup was just amazing.
The speed in phenomenal, and my entire family is able to enjoy the connection.
Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS ROUTER!
A tip I picked up while doing research, keep your cable modem powered off until the absolute last minute. The flash drive will not boot, and it will tell you to check all of your connections. Plug the router up then, and hit the RETRY button. The installation will take less than 2 minutes, and each addition will be just as fast.
I am totally satisfied.
LOVE IT!! September 4, 2010

I bought this in the hopes of solving the wireless network issues in my home. I had a basic Linksys wireless router that sometimes did not do the job and made it a hassle to set up new devises to my network. Let me admit up front that I am not a computer whiz. I saw a commercial for the Valet Plus and thought it was worth a shot. I have a bunch of wireless devises that I do not use due to network issues and if this could solve those problems, sweet!
The Valet Plus was super easy to set up although NOT quite as simple as advertised. I had my main computer connected to this new wireless network within 15 minutes. Directions to connect your DSL connection to the Valet Plus were easy to follow and if you have any questions or problems, their customer support can help you. I love that their customer support is U.S. based, very knowledgeable and eager to help. Actual customer service, imagine that? Next, you have to plug the included key (looks like a USB flash drive) into your computer's USB port. In 5 minutes or less you have a network name and password provided. You can easily change these if you do not want to use the automatically generated ones by simply going into your "Start" menu, clicking on "Cisco Connect" program, "Valet Setting" and then "Personalize." Here you can change the network name and password but remember that if you change them after connecting other devises to your network - you need to reconnect them using your changed info.
It was easy and now I looked forward to connecting other devises. I had my fingers crossed that the "Key" would easily connect devises to the network as promised. My first attempt was my Sony dash Personal Internet Viewer. Piece of cake! It recognized my network and prompted a password which this Valet Plus made easy. Waited less then 2 minutes for the connection to be made and My Dash was up and running! Under my old network, the connection was easily lost and a hassle to reconfigure so I didn't bother with the wireless features of My Dash. Next, my laptop. This was also very easy once you insert the Valet Key.
Once, I did loose connection to my computer but not any of the other devises connected to the network. A quick call to Valet customer service (1-877-500-8070) fixed the problem. I did find out that the Key was for computers only and they could not guarantee that it would work for anything else but I have found that if your devise has built in wireless connection and an USB port, it works.
I highly recommend this wireless network system. It made connecting printers, computers, laptops and other devises a breeze! I am sure my brother is happy I made this purchase too since I no longer bug him with networking issues. This Valet Plus has made my life much easier and combined with great customer service, well worth the price paid.
