The final giveaway in our Back to School Bonanza, is a super cool tech gadget from Cisco Valet! Kids and computers now go hand in hand, as they are using the internet more and more for school projects and learning. But wires are no fun and can create tangled messes!

Valet gives you the power to quickly and simply make your home wireless. The included Easy Setup Key gets you connected to the Internet in minutes.

Cisco Connect software, pre-loaded on the Easy Setup Key, lets you quickly link your other wireless devices and manage your home wireless with ease.

Remember when going wireless required technical expertise and hours of effort? Not anymore—Valet just works.

This gadget is especially handy for guests. They simply plug in the USB to their wireless device and are instantly connected to your home network! How cool is that?

My mom recently moved to Texas, and she LOVES her Valet!

Oh, and did I mention it can also work for wireless printing? As in, COUPONS?

    OH, to be able to print wirelessly…& have the kids on their game system at the same time as I am online…oh the possibilities!!! Fabulous prize!!!!!

  34. Lonnita C says

    Eliminating a lot of cords in my house, which can reduce a chance of an outlet fire, is what I like most about this product.

  44. Stephanie Wade says

    I love all the options in the parental controls. That would allow my husband and I to not have to hover over our 8 year old that uses the internet when she’s on and give her more of a feeling of independence!!

  85. Linda Long says

    I think wireless routing is the only way to go when you have more than one laptop in the home.

  96. Debbie says

    If I won the router, I’d give it to my mom. It sounds like the perfect set up for her, simple, simple, simple!

  104. Lindsay says

    I would love to be able to buy books for my nook from any room in my house! I also love the parental controls and guest network of the Valet!

  105. Stephanie G says

    I love being mobile and having everything connected to the network so we can share things across computers/devices.

  118. Margaret W says

    OMG!!! I sooo need this!! The only place my router and modem can be in in my living room, and my headstrong 10 month old, even though we tell him “no touch” he still pulls at the wires!!! This would be a life saver!! I am totally a fan!!

  121. Cindy says

    I NEED this one – everyone laughs cause I e-mail things to my husband at work to print just so I don’t have to go downstairs to the printer

  140. jennifer clark says

    would be nice to have so everyone can enjoy being online gaming or surfing the net for deals.

  149. Michelle says

    We would probably use the wireless printing. Our printer is downstairs in the office, and I’m usually upstairs on my laptop, and it’s inconvenient to go down there and hook everything up!

  156. Elizabeth Marino says

    I would love wireless printing! I decided to go to college, and I have to drag my laptop to the basement to print, such a pain when I am in a rush!!

  192. Jennifer Oleson says

    less wires and for my kids (and husband) to hook up the Wii to challenge our cousins in New York 🙂

  195. says

    I NEED a router to take full advantage of my fancy new “wireless” printer I have 😉 And to get all our devices hooked up on a wireless connection… I am on DSL and have been researching routers and found the Cisco Valet on a website this morning and it caught my eye. Now there is a giveaway for it!!!!

  206. linze anderson says

    No Wires! Oh that is the best feature of all. I hate having to deal with those messy wires. It just takes up so much space, not to mention they are always in the dang way.

  223. Martha Coller says

    I could do my medical billing from the comfort of another room and not have to email or save and print later, I could print right away!

  231. LisaR says

    I follow you on facebook. I would love to work and from kitchen wirelessly while child is doing work in same room.

  242. Kay Heath says

    I would love it for the wireless printing for my home daycare to print our pictures and crafts.

  245. Sarah says

    I like not having all of the wires. I really have to watch it when I put our Roomba to work to make sure that all the loose wires are cleaned up around the computer.

  266. says

    I would love something I could place on the shelf above the desk, I know it’s a small space, but we need all the space we can get 🙂 Thanks!

  285. Rose says

    I like the parental controls best. My kids will be safe while on the internet with the Cisco Valet

  287. Erica says

    I would love to have wireless internet at home, especially since we are getting ready to move into a new home.

    I’m a follower of KFM on facebook, as well as Cisco.

  291. Sonia says

    i like that everyone is in the same room – we all sit together with our laptops and watch the Tigers on TV

  301. Janelle says

    I like that there are no wires to trip over or worry about. I also like the convience of being able to go anywhere in the house.

  304. Kim P says

    I would love that everyone could be connected at the same time if we needed wanted to be and that it has parental controls too.

  312. Lauren Peterson says

    My hubby and I are both students, so it’ll be great that we can both be doing schoolwork at the same time!

  315. Shannon says

    I love the wireless feature of this! My son is almost one years old & loves to go for the computer cords. My family would appreciate this if we won!

  321. Tammy Lacer says

    Being able to print from my laptop while sitting on the couch!! Wireless printing would be awesome!

  324. Carole Spring says

    The fact that we would have access from anywhere in the house and that when my daughter comes home and brings her work laptop we wouldn’t have to move everything around in order to get her hooked up so that she can work.

  336. Amanda says

    best feature would be to not have to take the laptop into the bdrm to plug into the printer to print one page 🙂 I know tough right?! LOL!

  342. Henry Lum says

    What I like most about a home wireless system would be , being able to stay on a reliable connection with all of my family members. Currently , we use different connections. Meaning that , we have several routers to connect to support everyone’s internet access.

  343. Henry Lum says

    I’m a fan on facebook.

    I like the security features of this product. We have three people trying to use the internet – this sounds great 🙂

  437. Eliza Klinger says

    I like that it is easy to to use, wireless printing, and being able to be on the computer as the same time as kids are on their game consoles

  444. Richele says

    definitely wireless printing! So much more convenient than having to move the printer from computer to computer!!

  456. Margaret says

  458. Jodi G says

    Printing! Both my husband and I would be able to print and have the printer tucked out of sight!

  460. Nicole says

    I often get on the internet after I put the kids to bed and I lose track of time. I like the idea of using the limit online time feature to get myself into bed on time.

  483. Rebekah J says

    Wireless gives me the freedom to be able to use my laptop all through the house which keeps me free to watch the kids.

  490. Stephanie M says

    A wireless home gives so much more freedon and being able to enjoy while on the laptop the outside will be fantastic.
