Does this provide wifi in an area where cable providers can not go, or do you have to have a monthly internet provider to go with this product? null

Question

To my knowledge, you need a monthly internet provider. My Velop system works great, I have Xfinity for internet.

JimH · Answer

You do have to have some form of Internet access already. This is a WiFi router that is designed to daisy chain together to cover a broader space. The first (base) module has to have a wired connection to your Internet, either directly to a cable modem, DSL modem, or another switch or router with Internet access. The base can then extend itself over a wider range either wired or wirelessly (with a dedicated 5 GHz channel) to the other Velop modules. You can even purchase more modules to continue daisy chaining for more coverage if necessary.

Hi! Before installing the Velop System or any Linksys router, you'd still need an Internet subscription along with a modem or gateway.

No, you must have an internet provider.
