I'm not sure where others are getting their information, but here are the answers to your questions: - You have to have Internet access in order to get any network packets outside of this network. So, strictly-speaking, if you have no Internet access, the network can still operate. - Yes, it has built-in DHCP; for the other commenter, it would have to have DHCP, else it could never provision devices on the network! - Yes, the DHCP function works without Internet access (this is an internal network function; it has no basis for outside access) - Yes, computers connected to the mesh wifi network can communicate with each other without an Internet connect

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have an internet connection of some sort in order to download the Linksys app on an iOS or Android device in order to set the Velop up. It does provide it's own DHCP, but only on the 192.168.1.0 network. You can reserve IPs once they are assigned. Once the network is set up, with or without the internet, any connection between devices on the same network will be able to share files.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you need an internet connection for this to work; also a mobile device to set it up, since you can not set it up without a cellphone/tablet
