Cisco has recently unveiled two new wireless routers for users. The new routers are suppose to be much more simpler for installation and setup process. Cisco target market seems to be for home and small office use. The routers are called Valet. this is the first time cisco uses its name for consumer wireless. Cisco does own linksys a dominate home router. this another step towards cisco goal to become a house hold brand.
According to a study one and four consumers return wireless routers due to the fact they are unable to setup it up properly. Cisco goal is to make the wireless setup and use as simple as possible. the cost of the routers will be $100 and 150 for the longer range model. Cisco router will come with a flash drive for installation part instead of CD's like other routers.
I think since more and more computer users are not tech savvy even a little bit Cisco had to come out the simple way. But also who likes lengthy setups anyway. I'm for the easy setup. Cisco wants to tap in the home market so they had to make it user friendly.
I really don't know how much more easy they have made it ...I guess it was already quite easy but anyways this would help people who are not so fond of computers and the way they operate.
