Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into modem first, then plug the other end into velop. Plug another Ethernet cable into velop and the other end into port on wall. Downstairs plug an Ethernet cable into port on wall and the other end into 2nd velop node. Then, plug another Ethernet into velop and other end into a switch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Velop has two ethernet ports on the bottom. Connect one to your modem and the other to your prewired home. If you have multiple ethernet cables coming into a central location then you may need a dumb switch to connect those all together. So one ethernet port on Velop to your modem and the other velop port connected to a switch that ties in your home ethernet cables. The velop will handle assigning ips both wirelessly and connected via ethernet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I hooked my modem to the first velop node, then used my router with the wifi disabled to keep all my Ethernet devices plugged into that. Made it very easy to swap out in less than 20 minutes. Hook up a second or third node with Ethernet in different levels and experience great coverage and speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are two ports on each node, you can connect one to the router and one to the ethernet in the wall. The bridges could be connected to the other nodes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later."The Linksys Velop can be connected together wired via Ethernet. If your home is already wired with Ethernet, you may want to take advantage of these connections to increase the range of your Velop system, maximize the speed, and reduce the risk of wireless interference". No switch needed as long as you have no need for additional Ethernet ports at your Parent node. The node has 2 Ethernet ports on the bottom. Just use one for your modem and the other for hard wire to to your next child node. Having said that, while Ethernet backhaul is supported, Velop does not yet support setup over this medium. First, set up the Velop system using wireless connection. Once setup is complete, simply unplug the nodes that are intended to be moved to new locations and reconnect both the power and Ethernet cables. The Velop will automatically switch to a wired backhaul. Sorry I have no experience setting up Philips Hue or the Sonos bridge.
