Cisco To Dump Linksys Name

John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, has confirmed that Linksys name is history.

It will all come overtime into a Cisco brand. The reason we kept Linksys’ brand because it was better known in the US than even Cisco was for the consumer. As you go globally there’s very little advantage in that.

Cisco might as well get the free advertising, having my laptop open now I see four “linksys” access points.
