Features
Overview: The Cisco Valet Connector (AM10) helps you connect your Windows-based computer to a Valet wireless network or any other wireless network for quick Internet access. The Cisco Valet Connector provides wireless internet access for USB-enabled computers so you can connect your home PC or laptop to your home network's wireless router or a retail hotspot.
Minimum System Requirements: To use the Cisco Valet Connector (AM10), your desktop or laptop PC must have an available USB 2.0- port, running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, or Windows 7. Your computer must also have a 1 GHz or faster processor, and 512MB or more of RAM.
Note: A wireless router or hotspot with an internet connection is also required. The Valet Connector is not compatible with Mac.
Simple Setup: Installing the Cisco Valet Connector (AM10) is easy and only take minutes. Simply insert the Valet Connector into the USB Port of your desktop or laptop PC and follow the on-screen instructions of the pre-loaded Cisco Connect software. The wireless USB adapter will install for an Internet connection in just minutes.
Note: It is recommended that you disable your Internet security or anti-virus software before installing the AM10. This is to prevent the AM10 from being blocked by your anti-virus software or Internet security. Once installation is complete, make sure to reactivate all of your security settings.
USB Extension Base: The Valet Connector comes attached to its USB Extension Base. Using the Valet Connector in its Base may often improve wireless signal performance, especially with desktop computers that may be located under desks or tabletop. To use the USB Extension Base, make sure the Valet Connector is connected to the Base, and then connect the Base to a USB port on your computer or laptop.
Note: The AM10 comes with a plastic cap to protect the unit's USB connector when not in use.
