QuestionAdding a satellite: I have this 3 pack and want to add another satellite. Which Linksys satellite should I purchase if I only want to buy 1 or 2? Thanks in advance.
Asked 3 years ago by Avellino.
- Answer Hi, Avellino. Technically, you can add other Linksys Velop and Mesh routers to the existing system. However, it'll be best if you'll add the same model to totally maximize the functionalities. Furthermore, it only comes in 2-3/Packs. You can check the Linksys website for details as well https://www.linksys.com/us/p/p-mx5502/. Take note that these are the same. The MX55EC3 is a BestBuy exclusive SKU.
