Hands on with the Cisco Valet Plus Router

For the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to use one of the new Cisco Valet Plus routers in my home/home office, a device the company has just announced publicly (http://home.cisco.com/en-us/press/articles/us/release_valet_033110.aspx). The premise of the new products is to make home networking easier, to appeal to both current home network users that would like to upgrade as well as to those consumers that have yet to install a wireless network. ABI Research estimates that only 30% of US households have a wireless network, despite the fact that around 70% of households subscribe to a fixed broadband Internet service (cable, DSL, or fiber).
