A:AnswerThe Velop mesh system does require that the Node nearest the modem be considered Node 1, this node will connect to the modem via the ethernet port. I chose a rather inexpensive modem from BestBuy with dual ethernet ports to connect to Node 1. Have not had any issues since connecting everything.
A:AnswerI have several connected: 2 iPhones, an iPad, an iMac desktop, and a Ring Pro Video Doorbell with chimes and an Echo 5 display unit. I haven't even begun to stress this Linksys Velop. (Over the Holidays I had family visiting that added 3 more iPhones and a laptop to my network; still good.)
A:AnswerHello, sakaakir. You can just connect one node of the Linksys WHW0302 directly to the wall patch using an Ethernet cable and use a handheld device upon setting it up to your network.
A:AnswerPlug 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.
A:AnswerI use Fios and so far, so good. I disabled the wifi on the existing Actiontec router and plugged the first node into that via Ethernet. No issues.
A:AnswerThe nodes work together and need to be somewhat near each other. The app is required for setup and it checks to make sure the nodes are placed properly. If you took it outside or next door it might not be able to communicate with the other nodes.
A:AnswerAs long as the Velop system works with channels available Jamaica and you can download and use the Linksys WiFi app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, sure. Jamaica uses the FCC plan with 2.4 and 5 GHz devices if I remember correctly.
