Ciscos Cloud Connect is chaging the Wi-Fi Game!

Cisco has long been on top of the cutting edge of technology, and they have some recent changes that are going to be making a splash in their home networking devices, such as routers. The new Cisco Connect Cloud is the company’s way of embracing the changes in computing and the move to cloud computing that so many individuals and companies are doing right now. The Cisco Connect Cloud can support apps from third parties that can make it easier to work with a home network, even for those who don’t have experience or knowledge. In addition, Cisco is unveiling Linksys devices that will be able to support the 802.11ac wireless standard.

What Does the Cloud Offer?

Cisco Cloud Connect is a software platform that will work with Cisco routers, where they will find seamless connectivity that it is easier to control their devices and their network with the cloud. This free online service is already available, and will be built into the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi routers that are coming onto the market now. It is possible to enable the cloud in older routers through a software update, so you may not necessarily need to have a new router to take advantage of the features.

Some of the things that you will be able to use with the Connect Cloud include SimpleTap, which is an easy way of connecting devices to your network. It will be possible to connect printers, tablets, smart TVs and more with a simple press of a button.

Some of the other apps available include Device Monitoring to get updates on devices on the system, and Netproofer, which can let parents restrict access to certain sites.

Handling 802.11ac

The new generation of wireless tech is here, and it can offer speeds that are much faster than what we currently have with the web. Cisco is now offering the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router EA6500 that can take advantage of the speed that 802.11ac offers. Another piece of hardware that can be helpful is the Linksys Universal Media Connector, which can connect your current devices to the new router.

Cisco is making some changes in the way they do business with the cloud, and they are still on the cutting edge when it comes to providing customers with the best quality routers that can provide fast, reliable service.
