WANT to connect your tablet, notebook and smartphone wirelessly to your home broadband Internet connection but not sure if you should get a router or gateway? Search no further. Cisco introduced a new addition to its X-Series product line, the Linksys X1000. This 802.11n Wi-Fi router with built-in ADSL modem can be connected to an ADSL line or to a cable or fiber modem and share the broadband connection wirelessly to all devices in your home. The new model is the first to feature the new X-Series design that matches the rest of the Linksys Wi-Fi portfolio. The new design, with a black matte finish, makes it a stylish addition to any modern home. As with all products in the Linksys X-Series, the Linksys X1000 is an ideal solution for consumers who want an easy way to install Wi-Fi solution for their home that works with both Mac and Windows computers. “In the early days, Wi-Fi products were mainly bought by technology aficionados, but that is no longer the case as Wi-Fi has made its way into many living rooms. Most consumers just want their Wi-Fi to work without thinking about it. That is precisely what the Linksys X-Series offers,” said Mohammad Meraj Hoda, Managing Director Emerging Markets, Cisco Home Networking. “The Linksys X-Series are easy to install, look amazing and most importantly, deliver Wi-Fi in a simple way.” Linksys X-Series products work with Cisco Connect Express, a free mobile app for smart phones and tablets that enables users to keep control of their home Wi-Fi. Connect a Smart TV to your Wi-Fi with a push of a button or enable the guest network for visitors and immediately send them the password through a text message or e-mail – all directly from your mobile device. The Cisco Connect Express App is available for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. — SG
