Linksys - Velop Plug-In AC1300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Mesh Extender - White
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Speed: 1.3 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (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: 1500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- 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.)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 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.)
- Antenna Type: Internal
- Number of LAN Ports: 0 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (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.)

Product Manuals
A: We got the "3 -pack" of the dual - band system for our multi-story house and then purchased a plugin for the garage. One of the "boxes" acts as the router and the others carry the 'signal' Works great for us. Can't tell you anything about the Tri but had been told it was better for improved streaming and such. Would advise checking that whatever you add is compatible with what your already have.
