so this is a product from Cisco this is the valet connector and I'm going to
start with the unboxing right away because there's actually not a great
deal to say about it because what this
is is basically a USB wireless adapter
okay but what's interesting about the valet connector is how simple it is to
use so I'm actually going to be following this up with a video showing
the valet connector as well as a valet router and I'm going to show you guys
what steps are involved in connecting the valet but obviously in order to do
that I had to open up the boxes at some point so here I am opening up the box so
you can connect your laptop to a Hotpot at a coffee shop hotels and airports
okay so that's pretty much what a wireless adapter does thank you for that Cisco and then it is Wireless N
certified okay also good to know it is a
wireless USB adapter for desktop okay laptop PCS excellent and award-winning
24/7 customer support well that's a good thing to have all right so let's see
here are the instructions one insert the valley connector into a USB port on your
computer two click set up your Cisco Valley connector neat three follow the
onscreen instructions to install Your Valet connector is that
it okay well let's see what there is in terms of accessories so first we have a
welcome to the new home Wireless experience connect play Work Li live
smarter and get started okay so to get
started you just plug the valley connector into your computer
interesting and then in here oh just a
couple things so basically we've just got the valley connector itself and a
USB extension cable as well as a cap for the valley connector should you wish to
take it off and put the cap on it oh I dropped it that's a bad thing
okay so this is not really weighted it has a bit of a fuzzy foamy base okay so
that sits wherever you happen to put it it's just a USB extension cable
basically and this is the valley connector itself so there's a USB port
there's a little serial number Mac Address looks
pretty much like any USB key so it's going to come down to the software how
easy is it to use is it as great as Cisco says it is or not stay tuned to
find out and also stay tuned for the unboxing of the valet router that goes
with it
