today we're going to be having a look at the Cisco valet wireless router so you
can see this was actually sitting on my floor for a couple days and my cat
chewed the corner of it but your box won't look like that all right so from
the worldwide leader in Wireless networking Cisco we have what is
apparently a home Wireless Made Easy
style product so over here you can see there's also an easy setup key for
WorryFree setup and I've unboxed this one before and I'm actually going to do
some testing with this guy uh well with both of them together to determine
exactly how easy it is to use the Cisco
valet family of products so the idea I
suppose with vet L being the name is
that it is all taken care of for you and
you don't really have to do much setup so they've got award-winning 24/7
customer support as well as Okay so we've got speed and range of Wireless N
we can link computers games and devices to the internet I'm going to turn this around so you can see it we can manage
parental controls with ease and give internet access to guests cool stuff so
let's open it up and have a look at what is inside the oh the side side of the
box is actually open so I could have just taken it out that way okay welcome
to the new home Wireless experience with a cat bite in it okay
here we have oh okay no so oh the thing
on the outside of the box was not the
wireless adapter that I had already set up this is interesting plug into your
computer and click connect to your Cisco Cisco valet to get started really that's
kind of neat so I get it it's a valet key
haha oh that's clever okay hold on I'm just going to put this here so I don't
lose the sticker and then I'm going to show you guys the valet key so this is
just a USB and it is an easy setup key so we'll
have to definitely try that and this is just a box box and this is cardboard
okay so this comes up here is the Cisco valet router oh it's blue look at that H
wow I'm getting like tricked all over the place I must be tired I saw this and
it looked like this was the router with like a blue like halo around it but no
the router is actually white and baby blue so we've got indicator LEDs on the
front here for uh the Ethernet computers
that are connected we've got a uh connect button here we've got Wireless
we've got internet and then power indicator LEDs on the oh okay neat so
here's your ventilation right here so
air is going to just passively from convection be drawn by the heat rising
up through these vent holes uh it'll be drawn in through the bottom and that is
what is going to keep your Cisco valet running cool enough so here at the back
we can p plug in easy setup key to get started okay so we're going to pull this
off and that is where we will discover all of the business end parts of this router
so here's our Ethernet internet port
here are four Ethernet ports here is a reset button and there is the power jack
so here is the documentation for yeah really this
doesn't explain anything this just says what you can do with a wireless router
so that's good um and then here we find
the power plug as well as a e an ethern
cable so really this this product is going to come down to how easy is it to
set up and I don't have the answer to that yet but hopefully I'll have a
follow-up video for you guys shortly showing you just how easy it is to set
up the valet is this something that you can recommend to your grandma who wants
a wireless network to buy or is it something that you're actually going to
have to go and set up for her stay tuned to my video blog don't forget to
