Q: QuestionCan i select which band to access 2.4 or 5 ghz . for example i have an old chromcast that needs 2.4 and a new one the uses5. can i access the dififerent bands in different areas of my house simultaneously?

Asked 5 years ago by wally.

• A:Answer It uses the same wifi name for both bands. But the only problem I encountered was having to reconnect to the wifi for those devices that had previously used what had been named xxx-5g and was now just xxx. Otherwise, devices automatically connected at their highest possible speed.

Q: QuestionHow many devices does the Velop AC1300 support

Asked 5 years ago by Beatsfan.

• A:Answer Connected devices? I doubt if there is a limit other than the 254 available ip addresses. Being able to prioritize devices helps tremendously. I gave our computers and smart TV high priorities since that's where we want our fastest streams. But low priorities to most of our smart devices

Q: QuestionWill this connect to my Netgear wireless router?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I believe these have to be plugged into your modem, since these are wireless routers themselves. One has to be plug into your modem and the others wirelessly throughout your home. You do not have to change WiFi password.

Q: QuestionI have CAT5 cable drops in my house. Can I plug my router in the CAT5 hub and the nodes in into the CAT5 drops to create WIFI in those rooms?

Asked 5 years ago by hdyna06.

• A:Answer Yes. But since I have several ethernet devices that had been connected to my old router I had to get a gigabit switch and plug that into the node.

Q: QuestionI have a few devices near my modem which are hard wired to my current router. How will that work if I replace the router with this which only has 1 ethernet port? Will it work if I connect this to my modem, then connect my current router to the Linksys?

Asked 5 years ago by gccc.

• A:Answer Hello. Yes, you may connect the Linksys WHW0103 directly to the modem and have your existing router set as bridge mode to avoid issues, and so you can also optimize the feature of the Linksys Velop.

Q: QuestionWill the Velop dual band AC1300 work with a linksys EA6350 modem that I already have?

Asked 5 years ago by Kitty.

• A:Answer The Velop is a mesh network modem and will not be able to work with your existing EA6350. The Velop system would be a direct replacement for your existing router. If you wish to keep your existing router, you could add a range extender. Range extenders must be able to communicate with the base unit (EA6350). Range extenders can not be daisy chained to extend the range even further, for that the Velop system can have several units all daisy chained to provide a more complete coverage.

Q: QuestionIs this home Wi-Fi? If so how much a month?

Asked 5 years ago by Kay.

This question was asked about the related product: Linksys - Velop AC1300 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System - White

• A:Answer "Is this home Wi-Fi? If so how much a month?" implies you have something specific in mind but you didn't specify. Are you referring to a service like cable internet or a device like a router? As a general rule, the internet is provided by a service provider at a monthly rate. Once that cable enters your home, it goes to a modem\router setup which in turn provides wi-fi to your home. Again, typically, you are only getting a bill from the service provider for the service to your home and perhaps equipment rental if you get your modem/router solution from them. I hope this answers your question.

Q: QuestionI bought the Velop AC3900 but noticed it said Internet Plan up to 100 Mbps. Our internet plan is 200 Mbps, can I use this or do I need the Velop AC6600?

Asked 5 years ago by Becca.

• A:Answer I pay for 1 gigabit. The modem I got was rated to do 1 gigabit. The peak speed test in the app says I'm getting 514mbps but the speed test online says I'm getting less than 50, whereas with my 8-year-old router-modem combo (all of $100 back then) regularly got 80. If it halves your connection like it did mine, you'll be fine.
