Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/2500 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 5.9 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.8 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AX (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 5000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)

Micro-sized, But Has A Long Reach Into Dead Spots
The Velop Micro 6 Mesh router is a terrific option for anyone looking to conquer their home’s Wi-Fi dead spots and also don’t require “extras” like Ethernet ports on the child nodes, in addition to the parent node (router), or the very latest Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 7. What I like most is that the Micro 6 is powerful without being a giant eyesore. It’s significantly smaller than most other mesh systems. It truly is micro-sized and can easily hide in plain sight. MY SITUATION My previous mesh Wi-Fi 5 router (802.11ac) + two child nodes dates back to 2017. Frankly it’s all I needed for my 4 level, 1800 sq ft townhouse until now. Recently though the number of smart devices/IoT I’ve added to my home has multiplied to the point this router couldn’t handle all the traffic. The result was devices started randomly disconnecting or would be slow to respond to commands. Speed-wise, I was still fine since I only have 300Mbps up and down broadband and I few Wi-Fi 6E devices and zero Wi-Fi 7. So when I saw the affordable Velop Micro 6 Mesh router that included with two child nodes I thought I’d give it a try. The Micro 6 Mesh has what Linksys calls “Cognitive Mesh,” which, as I understand it helps better manage IoT devices, one of my big problems with my older router, just what I needed. SIZE AND PORTS This system is really shrunken down from the size of a typical mesh router, especially the child nodes compared to my older system. The main node is flat-ish, similar to a traditional MIMO router, but without the external antennas. It has a clean unassuming look. Don’t mistake that for lacking features though. It has four speedy 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports and one WAN port. There’s also reset and power buttons. The child nodes, on the other hand, are as basic as you get, just a single USB-C port for power. Perhaps because of its diminutive side, there is Ethernet port here. This may be a non-starter for those with, or planning to buy, IoT devices that depend on Ethernet or hub that requires Ethernet to work. An example here is the Philips Hue lighting system. With Ethernet only on the main node it limits placement of these kind of hubs and devices. Otherwise enjoy the child node’s diminutive size, similar to a 12oz soda can, that goes unnoticed on a shelf. You won’t miss not having Ethernet here. SET UP PROCESS Linksys also claims its Cognitive Mesh technology makes setup super easy. On paper that certainly looked to be true – plug in the router and nodes per instructions, install the Linksys app, snap a QR code on the user’s guide embedded with routers SSID and password, Select the router’s SSID on your device and follow the app’s instructions. The whole process at this point takes a couple of minutes to complete. However, I did run into a few glitches, but overcame them after a quick troubleshooting. I won’t go into detail because I believe these were one-offs as I had no problems the 2nd try, and this doesn’t impact my opinion of this router. But I will say I’m not a fan of the set-up process or Linksys’s app. For one it assumes the user wants “WPA2/WPA3 Transitional” security. To be honest, I don’t know the formal SSID and password requirements for WPA3. What I do know is, based on the demands in the app, I’d have to update my Wi-Fi settings in all my smart devices as my current SSID and password were a character too short and had no symbols, just alpha-numeric. Only after I set up the router could I go back into the app and roll back security to WPA2 with my old SSID and password. I will eventually go WPA3 but this was not the day and I didn’t like being “forced” before I was ready. PERFORMANCE Once set-up I moved the location of the two child nodes around to find the optimal rooms to place each in. The main router must always be on the first floor because that’s where my Internet cable enters the house. I’ll add that my house is an open floor plan – only the bedrooms and bathrooms have doors. As a reminder, I have 300/300 Internet service. I placed the two nodes in different floors and then do a speed check. “Rinse and Repeat” in different rooms until I was satisfied I tried enough combinations. My best result was a nodes in the halls on level 2 and 3. In this configuration my Internet speeds, with the bedroom doors open, were: level 1 300Mbps, level 2 300, level 3 250, level 4 175. For three of four levels that’s exactly or very close to my actual Internet service, something my previous mesh router never came close to getting. Even the 175 on level 4, while low, was better than I got with last router. Pretty impressive. But it’s not all glory, there is a “but,” here. Inside the bedrooms, with doors closed, speeds dropped 25%. I will note that the interior doors in my house are standard builder’s grade and hollow, so YMMV if you have solid doors. Actually, since every house is different, it’s all a YMMV, but it looks like the Micro 6 Mesh has the power to fill in any dead zones your previous router could not. At least that is true in my situation.

Another Great Product from Linksys
I have used multiple Linksys routers over the years, as they are one of the most well known and reputable companies in the space. This product met my expectations and it provides a terrific home WiFi set-up. Pros: - First, this device had the easiest and most pain-free set-up process I have ever had with a WiFi router. All I had to do was unplug my old router, plug in this new one, reboot my modem, then scan a QR code in the quick start guide. Then I was able to change the name and password for my WiFi directly from my phone. I didn't have to install an app or anything. This was great! - This device can handle up to 3 Gbps over WiFi. My ISP only provides 300 Mbps and it certainly handled those speeds with no issue. Thanks to the dual-band Mesh technology, I did not experience any latency issues while gaming, and our family of 4 had no issues streaming in HD on multiple devices at the same time. - The extra nodes that are included help ensure that you have coverage over a wider area. The two nodes that were included with my router were more than enough to cover my 2300sq ft home and also some coverage outdoors as well. - The extra nodes are nice and small, a bit smaller than a soda can, and can hide well in plain sight. Cons: - The cost of this WiFi product is a little on the high-end, but you do get what you pay for. The strong performance and thorough coverage of your home is worth it.

Homerun from Linksys!
The Velop 6 has completely solved my dead spot issues in my house. Single story, nothing too big, but I was having issues for what seemed like ages with coverage and “outages” within my network. First off, the devices themselves are very low key. They are not giant eyesores, but blend in nicely with my decor. That is a huge plus for me. The package comes with a parent node that plugs into your modem, and two child nodes. The child nodes themselves are simple, and easy to set up. The parent node has 2.5gb ethernet ports, power buttons, and a reset button. The system comes built in with a “cognitive mesh” that assists with managing your connected devices to help with optimal efficiency. Setup wise, you just follow the instructions (plug in first), install the Linksys app from your phone's app store, scan the QR code and let the app do its thing! It couldn’t be easier. Once the setup was done. Testing on my 1gb fiber I was able to pull between 650-850mbps depending on how close I was to a node and where in the house I was. Even on my front porch I was about to stream netflix with little to no issues. Overall, I am super happy with this small but mighty mesh system from Linksys. Highly recommend!
