Chapter 1: Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Cisco Valet Connector. The

Valet Connector lets your Windows-based desktop or

laptop computer access the Internet wirelessly through

your Valet wireless hotspot or other wireless hotspot,

router, or access point. It also features Wi-Fi Protected

Access 2 (WPA2) encryption for security, helping to protect

your data and privacy.

Storing the Cap

When the Valet Connector is plugged into the USB

Extension Base or your laptop computer’s USB port, you

can store the cap by attaching it to the Valet Connector.

To store the cap, push it onto the top of the Valet Connector

until it fits snugly.

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

tabletops.

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.

Chapter 2: Installation
