Overview
Tri band radios in each Velop node let one band carry traffic between nodes while the others serve devices. The kit spreads one network across a large home and is managed from the Linksys app.
A dedicated band for node to node traffic helps hold speed at the far end of the home. The older Wi-Fi standard and older security protocol trail current mesh systems.
Who it's for
Families covering several floors who value easy setup over peak speed. Users with fast plans and newer devices should consider a current generation mesh.
Pros and cons
- Tri band design
- Covers a large home
- Two wired ports per node
- Simple app setup
- Older 802.11ac standard
- WPA2 security only listed
- Thin listing details
Performance notes
Coverage depends on placing nodes within good range of each other, using the extra band for backhaul. Throughput at each node reflects the older standard's limits. Wired ports on each node let a TV or console connect directly.
