Comments about Cisco by Linksys Valet M10 Wireless Hotspot:
Very easy to setup wireless-N router. Comes with a USB stick that you plug into each pc that needs to connect, and after 5 minutes you have a secure wireless connection without additional setup or the need to remember a password.
It's very compact and has no visible antenna, so it's easy hide in a closet or under a couch.
The unfortnate thing is that I've had it for about two weeks, and it seems that it takes an extra 5 seconds to load a new website. Once I'm there, I can click quickly between pages, but each new website seems to have a delay. This only happens on one of my pc's, and may be due to the router checking to ensure it's a safe site, which is one if its features.

Installing it into my Macbook was very easy. Now I can use the computer anywhere in the house instead of being tethered to my desk.
