Before you begin installing your Linksys Velop mesh network system in your home, it’s important to understand how the gear works.
A mesh network comprises numerous WiFi broadcast stations dispersed across it, all of which signals interact with one another to provide wireless coverage throughout the entire home. In contrast to earlier WiFi, which frequently only had a single wireless router that was either included into or connected to your Internet provider’s modem, this new WiFi has many wireless routers. Since that one router can only transmit WiFi from where it is in your house, obtaining coverage everywhere may be nearly hard depending on how big your house is.
Mesh networks’ important feature of modularity. As a result, in addition to the core Velop Node that is connected to your Internet provider’s modem, your home network will also include up to two “satellite” Linksys Velop nodes that collectively broadcast WiFi. The number of nodes you need will be significantly influenced by the size of your house. Linksys offers choices for homes ranging in size from 1500 to 6000 square feet. These distances are simply estimates, and other factors could change the number of Velop nodes you need to ensure a strong WiFi signal over your entire property.
