Linksys designed its wireless mesh router systems to
increase the wireless connectivity throughout your home and remove those
unwanted wireless dead spots. By creating a wireless mesh which encompasses
your floorspace using a number of different “router nodes” to boost the
wireless signal. Following on from the unveiling of their new Velop mesh router
system back in CES 2018 during January. Linksys have now announced the imminent
availability of the more affordable mesh router system will be available to
purchase in a few weeks time from May 15th, 2018 onwards.
Linksys will be making available single double and
triple packs priced at US$ 129, US$ 199, and US$ 299 respectively depending on your
needs. The price points are now considerably cheaper than the previous system
which was priced at US$ 200, US$ 350, and US$ 450 although the system is now slower than
the original. The newer more affordable routers are now dual band rather than
the more expensive tri-band routers previously launched.
Features of the Linksys Velop mesh included the
ability for it to self heal in case one of the nodes is accidentally unplugged.
As well as being able to connect devices to the nearest node depending on their
location within the house, for the fastest possible connection.

allows you to find out which router combination is best suited to your home
environment.
