3rd Blogoversary Giveaway | Cisco Valet!

via
This month marks Copy Cat Chic’s third year blogoversary! I can’t believe it’s been three years already. And like I do every year, I have a GREAT giveaway for you guys thanks to the generosity of my friends over at Cisco! They’ve offered up a free Cisco Valet Plus to one lucky Copy Cat Chic reader! I know I usually focus on furniture and home decor, but I just had to go a little techie with this one. I’ve been having issues with my wireless network lately…and to a full time blogger, that’s not good news. And I figured I needed to share the love with my loyal readers. (For more giveaway details and how to enter see the bottom of this post.)
I just received a brand spanking new Cisco Valet Plus to review. I was pretty stoked about the offer because my ole’ Apple Airport was slowly giving up the good fight. I hadn’t figured out what I was going to replace the Airport with, but the Cisco folks came to the rescue! I was considering the Apple Time Capsule but the $200 price tag was enough to make me stop and think. I’m happy to say that the Cisco Valet Plus is only $89!
I created a little video showing the set-up process – Which ended up taking less than 5 minutes!! I have to admit I procrastinated a little in setting it up, because I was worried about network downtime. It was sooo easy, I’m still in shock. And the network is working great for me, no signal dropping and there’s even a separate network for guests! LOVE it.
Here’s a short clip of me setting up the Valet Plus. I’m just starting with this whole video thing, so I apologize in advance 😉 lol
My boy Nate is a fan of the Cisco Valet Plus too…here’s his input! His video is just a tad bit better than mine 😉

    I am a fairly new follower of your blog (a few months)and I am really enjoying your pursuit of bargains! Our wireless is on its last leg so a new one would be perfect for ongoing CopyCatChic.com reading! Happy 3rd Blogaversary and Keep up the good work!

    Oh I really need a new wireless router. Mine has been so terrible lately that I have to be directly connected at all times. Or else "borrow" the wireless connection from my neighbor! Thanks for the giveaway!

    I'd love this. Recently moved my computer to my workspace in the kitchen and the printer is in the office. I need to print wireless. This is awesome!

    Firstly, I just discovered your blog a couple of months ago and l-o-v-e it! I have tons of ideas for our next casa.

    I would love to win a Valet for my husband. He is trying to work his way into freelancing from home and considering entering the blogosphere. An upgrade from our ancient router would be a huge boost and a nice little surprise for him.

  15. stuplarosa says

    Wireless! That would be so nice! Thanks for the blog.

  16. Heidi says

    January 26, 2011 at 11:50 pm

    Would love to win this! We love Cisco around here, and are currently in the market for a wireless router (would make life so much easier!) Even though this post isn't about furniture, it still fits in with your design theme, as the Valet is so slim and pretty to look at! Thanks!

    Well since I bought my MAC (two years ago) our router never seems to be able to connect with the computer properly. Every time I wake the computer up from sleep mode I have to go and unplug the modem so the two can communicate!!! (A little annoying) I'm getting a bit tired of this so… the Cisco Valet Plus seems like a great solution!
    Happy Blogoversary!
