Cisco Systems, Inc. unveiled a new line of Linksys(R) wireless routers in Canada, designed to let its core audience of tech experts and enthusiasts take their home networking experience to the next level. The streamlined product lineup sets a new precedent for simplicity, power and performance and makes it easy for consumers to find the right technology to fit their needs. The line also includes new Cisco Connect software, which gives users tools for easier customization and control of their home wireless experience. With the addition of the new Cisco Connect software, the new Linksys E-Series is designed to make it easier for users to customize and control their wireless network settings to match their preferences. With a quick and easy setup, the software auto-assigns the WPA security passkey and SSID. Once those are configured, users can use Cisco Connect to easily manage their wireless home network by: Adding multiple Internet-capable devices to the network; Setting parental controls for each computer or device; Giving visitors password-protected Internet access on a separate guest network; and customizing advanced settings and changing the network SSID and password. The new Linksys E-Series line offers a full range of technology options to help users find what works best for them. The new line, including a USB Wireless-N Adapter, is available at Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, London Drugs, The Source and other select retailers. The new Linksys E-Series line includes: Linksys E1000 Wireless-N Router; Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router; Linksys E3000 High-Performance Wireless-N Router (Dual-Band); and Linksys AE1000 High-Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter.

Cisco Systems, Inc. is pairing its wireless technology leadership with the Flip Video(TM) simplicity-in-design approach to launch Valet(TM) - a breakthrough product line that makes home wireless simple and accessible to everyone. Valet is designed to transform how families use the Internet in their homes so they can enjoy the freedom of wireless access without the usual frustration and complexity of setting up a home network. Valet is the first wireless product line to make it simple for anyone to set up and manage a home wireless network. Consumers who have high-speed Internet access simply insert the included Easy Setup Key right into a USB port in their PC or Mac, and the Cisco Connect software takes over. Unlike other wireless products that require 20 to 30 complicated steps to set up a single computer, Cisco Connect takes the user through three steps from start to finish. The Easy Setup Key retains all setup information and can be easily inserted into additional home computers to seamlessly add them to the home's wireless network. Valet also provides a new level of control for parents with simple tools to manage their family's online experience. Valet's Cisco Connect software lets parents easily set controls on the fly, so they can modify Web usage for certain days and times of the week, or even for temporary periods. For example, if teens are spending too much time on social networks or gaming systems, parents can modify their wireless access so that they cannot go online after 9 p.m. on weeknights. For each personal device connected to Valet - whether computer, gaming system or smart phone - Internet access can be individually controlled or changed, and inappropriate content can be blocked altogether.
