Yes you can plug each one into ethernet. That what i did. I did it so I would have better coverage over a much larger area. The difference between tri band(3) and dual band (2) is one band for more traffic and one more primary device (laptop, pc, etc)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Tim, Yes you can plug them them in to improve speed, the tri-band uses one of the band for backhaul to have consstant connection among the Nodes to have the best connection and speed over all. Hope this help
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! If majority of your devices have the wireless-A, N, or AC standards that do media streaming and transferring music, pictures, and video throughout your home network, then it's best to have a tri-band Velop System. If you only access the Internet for simple browsing and email, then a dual-band will do. Also, since this is a Mesh System, it's recommended to utilize its features through wireless connections. Nevertheless, you can still connect wired devices for stable speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Each node has it's own Ethernet hook up on the bottom. If you need more at one particular point, you can always purchase a Netgear switch. They work great. The tri-band Velop is best suited for plans that deliver up to 300Mbps ― two dual 5GHz bands deliver the higher speed to more data-hungry devices at once ― whereas the dual-band Velop is best suited for plans delivering up to 100Mbps. It has twice as many antennas that can utilize beamforming technology to deliver a better signal farther away and you should realistically be able to cover an area somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 square feet. It has two 5GHz bands at 867Mbps each and one 2.4GHz band at 400Mbps. So, If you're living in a large home with five or more bedrooms, the tri-band Velop might make more sense no matter your basic internet speed. More people these days need higher speeds for their devices ― to stream, download, and game ― so one 5GHz band can get clogged up quickly if you're in a home with a lot of other people. The dual-band Velop is better suited to covering somewhere between 4,000 and 4,500 square feet, which is still respectable. One 5GHz band runs at 867Mbps and one 2.4GHz band is at 400Mbps. If you have a small apartment or condo, the dual-band system is perfect, though it can also work just fine in a standard home. If you're living alone or with one or two other people who are regular internet users, a dual-band Velop can likely serve you well.
