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.
Bad idea…people associate Cisco with complex high-end hardware. Not exactly what my dad wants to buy when he needs a new router from Staples.
Linksys souns so 20th Century. I agree they should dump it. I got mine at a thrift store for $5.
