Next up in our Dads Rock Giveaway Bash, is a super cool tech gadget from Cisco Valet!

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? I know my mom will appreciate that during her frequent visits to Texas.

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

    The best part? I hate cords! I also love the fact that guests to my home can easily connect to the internet.

    I don’t like our internet company; we’re apparently in a bad area with not great coverage, so this would be great to hopefully find and keep the internet.

  11. Terra Jones says

    I would love that my husband would stop complaining about our current wireless setup, lol! 😉

    thanks!

    I like the idea that when my husband is off and we finally get our daughters down for a nap, we don’t race to the kitchen to see who can get online first, now we could work across the table from each other! Or on a day when we need to be alone- across the house HA!

  23. Lorrie Ward says

    I would love to have one so that my husband, my son’s and myself can be on the internet at the same time.

  38. Leslie S says

    What isn’t there to love about a home wireless system! I can use my laptop everywhere

  42. says

    Wow, besides no cords! The best reason would be so i could do homework upstairs while my twin toddler girls are downstairs with their dad.

  52. Amy says

    Anything wireless would be great in our house. . . keeps all the little hands away from cords!

  57. carolyn b says

    Printing without having to plug the laptop in…especially all those coupons I find!

  58. Laurie L. says

    Due to the fact that our house “eats” wireless routers, this would really come in handy. 🙂

  62. Sonia says

    love having multiple laptops all in the living room together – bonding while surfing!

  64. jamie kelsey says

    I would love being able to go somewhere else when the kids are being loud or going out on the swing.

  78. Alexandra says

    What would I like best about a home wireless system? Well, the coupons sound great but I don’t totally understand new gadgets. My hubby, on the other hand, is going to school for computers and I know that he would have a million and one fantastic ways (if that many is possible, lol) to use one of these!! I’m sure that most of it would benefit me and the kids too 🙂

  86. Alivia says

    My Daddy works from home on his laptop. With the Cisco Valet Home Wireless System, my daddy could be in my playroom instead of me being stuck in his office.

  87. Brooke says

    Would LOVE to have a wireless system… too many cords runnin’ every which way :)!

  88. Betty says

    I would love this.to be able to get rid of all the cords.Plus a big bonus to be able to print coupons without having to plug in my laptop would be awesome!!!

  92. Anne says

    At the moment we are a desktop computer family, with dreams of being wireless with a netbook (or 2 as well) – this would be great to help give us that freedom we need. Desktop + 2 toddlers doesn’t always work!

  97. Julie says

    We have a wireless router already, but it stinks. I can’t use my laptop in the bedroom because the signal is too weak 😛

  100. Kristin says

    Would love to win this! Then I wouldn’t be stuck in one room and could visit other places in my house 🙂

  103. Cassie says

    Having one of these would be great – it would allow me to look up recipes in the kitchen while I’m cooking! Thanks!

  104. Christine Bonds says

    I would love to be able to use my laptop while laying in bed…not be tied down to one area.

  105. Sio says

    Oh, this sounds like bliss! Hooked up with just a push of a button – the ease of it all!

  126. Sharon J. says

    What I like best is that my husband just asked about how to make our house wireless. This is timely!

  128. Traci says

    I would just love the EASE of having a home wireless system. Too many gadgets with too many gizmos. I think this will help me be organized!

  140. Jessica Allen says

    I would enjoy connecting the Wii to the computer wirelessly to watch movies! 🙂

  144. says

    What I like best about wireless system is being able to go in a room, and lock my kids out, and being able to concentrate on the things I need to do on the computer.

  148. Sarah H says

    I would love that I could get my netflix on my tv if I had a wireless connection!

  162. Allison says

    This sounds like such a wonderful wireless hub! We have a wireless connector now, but with such frequent guests, the Valet one would be awesome!

  165. Jolynn Rood says

    I watched the clips over & over because this is so amazing.
    I like parent has control of how much time is spent on the internet.

  168. Linda Palmieri says

    It would be so nice to curl up on the sofa and be able to log onto the internet.

  176. Milian Ortiz says

    I agree with you, the best part of the home wireless system would be having things like coupons print in our upstairs office while I relax with the kids in the family room.

  198. Kari says

    I would love a home wireless system that works. The one in our home constantly has to be reset!

  206. hippie4ever says

    I would LOVE not to be chained to one spot. My husband and I could follow our son around and still get work done

  211. Tressy Siers says

    wireless network would allow me to print coupons sooo much easier!!! We also would probably chat w/ our daughter who’s in FL working for Disney World for a college program. We’d really love it!!!

  213. Jay says

    The thing I would like best is the smile on hubby’s face when he is setting it up. He would think it was so cool if I won.

  220. Charlie says

    I am a computer guy…we like questions…good questions..the only bad questions don’t get asked!!!Keep on keepin’ on..Cisco…

  230. Maggie M. says

    I love being able to take the laptop outside to finish a few things up and watch the kids play at the same time! This would be so much easier!
    Thank you,
    Maggie M.

  231. says

    My hubby would LOVE to have a home wireless system. So a happy hubby is what I would love best about a home wireless system 🙂

  239. Danyiel Wise says

    My husband would love this because maybe then his wireless function would work, the wireless system that we have currently works fine for my laptop but does not work for his, so he still has to connect with wires

  242. Jennifer Seitzinger says

    Our kids could be on the internet at the same time. Less fighting in the house.

  245. Melissa says

    This would be the perfect gift for dh. He is wanting to get Netflix. If we have this we could watch movies instantly throgh our Wii.

  247. Karina House says

    I am learning about so many great man-gadgets during this giveaway group! I like how this one sets itself up and enables company to use the wireless.

  252. terri says

    I subscribe! My husband would love this as he is the computer geek in our family and proud of it! 🙂

  263. Tricia Andrews says

    I love the ease of the set up. I am not tech saavy (hubby is!) so even I could set this up with the directions!

  264. Tricia Andrews says

    I follow your blog via email subscription and I “like” you on FB – Tricia Gatte Andrews

  274. Amy Brewer says

    To walk around the house and go in which ever room I would like is what I like best about the wireless system.

  278. Caitlin says

    I like the long range so that if we ever move out of an apartment (here’s to wishing:)!) I could still use this.

  285. Shannon says

    The best thing about the wireless is the lack of wires!! I love being able to use my couponing blogs on the living room floor where I can spread out and plan my day! I love getting recipes online and being able to pull them up right in the kitchen! But I also specifically like the privacy and controls this system has to offer!

  287. Constance says

    What’s NOT to love?! It has range, printing, no wires… everything in one, which means less stuff for me to potentially break/mess up!!! This prize is calling my name!!! 🙂

  293. Tracy says

    What I love about wireless is that I can be anywhere in my house and be on the internet, or streaming from the network or even printing in another room!

  310. Jodi G says

    I would love wireless coupon printing. I’m sure my husband would find plenty of other uses!

  311. LYNDA M says

    I love the freedom the home wireless system provides, no more being tied to the desk.

  318. Stephanie says

    I’ve been wanting to buy a wireless printer, and this would be great for that!

  326. Adrienne S. says

    What I would like best is no 50′ long bright blue ethernet chord snaking from our office to our Netflix box in the living room!

  330. Lisa D says

    I’d love wireless to be able to look up recipes in the kitchen for dinner! I hate running back and forth to check the PC for my recipe!

  351. Rachella says

    I have a laptop, and my wireless router stopped working. I’d love to win this. I like the freedom wireless gives you. you can go on the computer anywhere in the house.

  356. Tina Williams says

    being able to use wireless devices with no problems!!!!! I still can’t get my wireless printer to work wireless!!ha

  358. Jessica M says

    I like wireless because if I need to do something while my kids are awake, I could bring my laptop downstairs to their playroom to be with them. Thanks!!

  363. Tabathia B says

    the ability to connect all wi fi electronics to one wireless system

  378. Stephanie G says

    being able to have everything connected without tons of wires would be sooo nice

  385. Jason Gray says

    I would love to replace our old router with this one. Really need it for my Ipod touch’s wifi.

  392. Cyncha Loo says

    Hello — I hope this finds everyone doing well.
    I’m a part time online student at Sta. Monica College and there have been times (granted few and far between) when my Earthlink connection was down and I have had to go to my work Westside (across town) to do my school homework and tests. This would have been a great back up for me so I didn’t have to trek to work. Thank you.

  397. Elaine Pool says

    I like the fact that I can take my laptop anywhere in the house & still be connected

  398. Amanda M. says

    I love the freedom that wireless allows. You can access your equipment anywhere in the house!

    “Easy Setup Key”… sounds like a great feature to me. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  427. Shelly says

    I’d love having another computer that we could use as a family. Right now, it isn’t wireless and is too far away to be connected to the internet. We need to get up and running.
