QuestionTrying to decide whether to try this. Range extenders are very slow repeating; slows when older devices take up radio time. I have over 2Gbs LB internet and servers with 10Gb cards. Can I backhaul ethernet for speed and if not in range of each other?
Asked 7 years ago by David.
- Answer Yes, you can use Ethernet for the backhaul. It also has a 3rd wireless band dedicated to the backhaul too but obviously hardwired is the way to go if you can.

QuestionHow is this different or preferable to a basic wifi extender that costs a whole bunch less?
Asked 8 years ago by Rcknrll.
This question was asked about the related product: Linksys - Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System (3-pack) - White
- Answer Very different technology. Each node is essentially a separate router. The main router talks to the nodes using a wireless backhaul channel. Some extenders aren't fully compatible and may just create more issues than fix the coverage issue. Also another issue would be speed deterioration. With a regular extender your speed will slow down no question about it. And if your speed isn't all that great than this will make it worse. Over all the velop and mesh systems alike beat any extender any day and quality is expensive. If you want whole home wifi and consistent speeds get a mesh system.

This question was asked about the related product: Linksys - Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System (3-pack) - White
- Answer Yes it does, however it is tricky to get to it. Linksys wants you to use the app for this and makes it difficult to get into it any other way. Go to google for instructions on how to currently get to the web gui as patches change the process.

QuestionI have a few devices that I connect to my old Linksys router such as a Raspberry Pi and Philips Hue bridge. Can I attach a switch to the Velop that's pugged into the router? Which switch is recommended?
Asked 8 years ago by ericp.
This question was asked about the related product: Linksys - Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System (3-pack) - White
- Answer Any switch should work in any of the nodes to increase the number of available wired ports. I'd recommend a gigbit switch, though that's up to you.

QuestionWill these work in a garage that is not insulated? Concerned about the cold & heat. The main router is upstairs and we have one of Velop AC2200's downstairs but we can't connect to our ring floodlight cams. We thought these would work for outdoor wifi
Asked 4 years ago by Sammy.
- Answer I had the same issue with my Ring outdoor stickup camera. I purchased a wifi extender to plug into an outlet in my garage. This did the trick, now my Ring outdoor camera is connected to the wifi extender, I rarely have any wifi connection issues anymore with the stickup cam.

QuestionPlug in the parent node into the Modem and wirelessly send the signal to the satellite node., Can I plug a satellite node into a Computer that needs a direct connection? (Computer doesn't have wifi capability)
Asked 4 years ago by InsightDragon.
This question was asked about the related product: Linksys - Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System (3-pack) - White
- Answer The satellite nodes are referred to as "child" nodes in the Velop literature. To answer your question though, you can plug a child node in near the PC you'd like to connect to the wifi. Make sure the node is connected to the parent node via wifi. (the Linksys app is great) You then plug an ethernet cable into the child node and the other end into the ethernet plugin on the back of the pc. You should then be able to access the internet

QuestionAll our devices/clients are connecting to first node only. If I wire an ethernet switch to the first node and connect node 2 and 3 to the switch (wired backhaul), will this help to even out nodes/clients? Otherwise system does not seem to work well.
Asked 5 years ago by Av8rtrav.
- Answer This system is designed to extend your Wi-Fi without the use of Cat 5/6 Ethernet cables, but if you have the ability to daisy chain them, I believe you can. My setup is running as expected with only the Parent Node connected to the modem. I suppose you could have some signal degradation if the Nodes have to be too far apart and/or the construction materials in the walls are blocking the Wi-Fi signals.

QuestionIs this a router? can it support 802.11n and 802.11ac protocols?
Asked 5 years ago by Helen.
- Answer It does support older 802.11n, 802.11ac and is considered a "wifi 5" system. Not quite wifi 6, but it is also a tri-band system. One 2.4ghz signal, and two 5ghz signals (one 5gzh a/n and one 5ghz ac signal). It is backwards compatible with older devices if that is what you are asking.

QuestionI am a little confused. I currently have a linksys router and extended, but not great coverage. Would these work in conjunction with my existing router ( like extenders) or would they REPLACE my existing router? Is there a PICTURE of the setup?
