- A: AnswerThere ARE issues in using the MR7500 with the original Velop. The original Velop will connect successfully with the MR7500 but there are two major flaws. The original Velop did not support 6ghz or WPA3. When you first install the MR7500 it will work great but once you add the original Velop you can find your speed drop considerably. This is due to the WPA3 protocol which is not on the original Velop. The MR7500 does not check for this. On the MR7500 you have a choice of WPA2 or WPA3 on the 5ghz band. On the original Velop the 5ghz band only supports WPA2. When your phone connects to the original Velop on 5ghz I have found an immediate speed drop since the parent node is also looking for the WPA3 protocol and it will not get it. So to correct t that issue you must make sure that you have WPA2 as the selection for your 5ghz band. Secondly, if you have the 6ghz band active, the original Velop will not see it. This has also caused problems. So until I upgrade my other original Velops, I have turned off 6ghz and WPA3 on the 5ghz band. This has solved the problems. Once I upgrade my old Velops, everything will work fine. I have the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Without correcting the above issues, my speed was app. 100 down. Correcting the issues, my download was over 400. I’m using T-Mobile Home Internet and get speeds up to 500.

Fantastic Router but will NEED firmware update!!
I love this router. Especially because of the fact that I got it for half the price during the Black Friday sale. This router will definitely help me future proof my devices for years to come as they got more advanced and as more devices adopt WiFi 6E. Literally, this router gives me great signal within the house. I actually haven’t seen it drop to two bars yet on the WiFi symbol. A constant three whole bars! Now, I’m not sure how it would fare in my basement but judging from how strong of a connection I get in my room upstairs, I would expect the same signal strength in the basement. Now, the firmware update! I have Verizon FiOS gigabit internet. As I unplugged my crappy FiOS gateway router, I then connected the Linksys Hydra router. Setup is super easy and simple through the app no problem. At the end it’ll say it needs to “update” to the latest firmware. Please note that this firmware update didn’t allow me to take full advantage of my gigabit upload speeds but it did allow me to get my gigabit download speeds. However, after spending time with Linksys support chat, they told me I needed to download the latest firmware from their website manually! This was a fairly simple process and after the router updated to the new firmware, I was able to get my promised speeds Verizon both Downloads and uploads. Again, fantastic router. I noticed things load very fast and snappy like on my computer Ethernet connected and on my WiFi devices!!

Lynksys Router -
Go this router to upgrade my old one, I dropped cable many years ago, all my TVs are smart, plus the smart plugs, lights, camera, etc, so far this router has been a great decision; TVs were pixelated sometimes in the past, now I don't get that, I thought it was the transmission but now I think it was my old router. Easy to setup, signal is good.

GREAT ROUTER WITH FAST SPEEDS/GOOD SIGNAL
I installed a new modem Motorola MB8711 and connected through Xfinity app in minutes. I have this paired with my Linksys Hydro Pro 6E Router and it works like a charm. I had an old Nighthawk C7000 modem/router and would get maybe 300mbps tops. After the switch to my newer set up, I constantly got 700-720mbps and 24up on my Note 20 Ultra 5G and Ethernet connection from my router to the PS5 around 600-650mbps. I have a 600mbps plan through Xfinity and it goes above that. Plan to upgrade to Gigabit speeds soon and I'm sure it won't disappoint. I like that the router is 6E capable and is future proof for now. Will add some devices soon to take advantage of the 6Ghz/6E soon. I have a 1800sqft home and have no problems with the drop off with the 2.4/5ghz bands in speed. I have the set up in the living room and can go to each corner of my home with great speeds. My son said his PS5 speeds doubled through Wifi. Happy with this router so far. I have atleast 15 devices connected and no lag. My LG OLED smart TV streams 4K while my son is on his PS5 and other deviices simultaneously without a hitch. I would highly recommend the Linksys Hydro Pro 6E.
