Wi-Fi routers offer better wireless performance and maximum throughput.


Moreover, its offers support for Cisco Connect Cloud, the
next generation of Cisco Connect software, which provides simple anytime,
anywhere management of multiple home networks.


Cisco said it is working with top device manufacturers to
simplify their networked products, such as TVs, entertainment devices and home
appliances, enabling new consumer experiences in the future.


“The proliferation of wireless devices and the
explosion of video streaming have redefined the importance of the home network.
Today’s connected consumer has high expectations for reliability, simplicity,
and software and apps that grow with them over time,” said Brett Wingo,
vice president and general manager, Cisco Home Networking.


The new Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers deliver the latest
home Wi-Fi technology and offer a range of prices and performance for active

Linksys EA-Series is now app enabled, to provide consumers with all-new,
anytime and anywhere experiences and solutions in areas such as home control,
entertainment and protection.


Cisco is currently working with Whirlpool and more than
two dozen other companies, app developers and service providers who view the
home network as a new frontier for providing innovative solutions for
consumers.


“We are collaborating with Cisco to create
compelling consumer solutions in the smart grid and connected home space,”
said Warwick Stirling, Global director of Energy and sustainability for
Whirlpool.


New apps coming from Cisco and partners will deliver
additional capabilities for connected devices, so that consumers can benefit
