Velop is a powerful Wi-Fi modular system that utilizes dynamic tri-band technology to ensure a top-notch Wi-Fi network with seamless connectivity. Unlike traditional routers with range extenders, Velop provides a lag-free and buffer-free Wi-Fi connection throughout your home with its mesh tri-band system. Velop nodes are suitable for all types of homes. Since each individual node increases your wireless coverage, you can add more as needed to expand your network. The nodes work together to form a mesh system with a single network name and password, so you don’t have to switch to another network. Thanks to the compact, stylish design, the nodes can be placed visibly without unsightly cables. The Linksys app allows for quick and easy setup of Velop. We also offer a limited three-year manufacturer’s warranty and technical support for Velop.

The slim Velop towers are less conspicuous than the Orbi nodes, but are still more expensive with somewhat lower throughput. On the other hand, Velop runs on T-VDSL connections including IPv6 and multicast IPTV. Unfortunately, the Entertain streams are only available in the WLAN...
Velop offers significantly lower data rates than Devolo and Netgear via its 867 bridge. However, setup and operation of the expensive wireless solution via the Linksys smartphone app work surprisingly well.
With Velop, it is very easy to set up WLAN connections with a fast speed and high range. However, this has its price.
Velop delivers on its promise of continuous WLAN coverage when there is a usable 5 GHz radio connection between the nodes, which also depends on the structural conditions. The lack of AP mode is a major drawback, as it forces owners of forced routers - and anyone else who doesn't want to change their router - to change their network topology...
The Velop system achieves good values over short to medium distances, but beyond that the transfer rates drop significantly. The simple operation of Velop via the app is a plus point.
