Do you have to have internet connection to make it work null

Question

The point of this is to distribute wireless internet connectivity around the house. If all you want to do is to network computers, there are far better options. And I didn't find this system to be very good at doing what it was designed to do. Buy something else for less money.

Yes.

BillFromKC · Answer

For initial setup, yes, you need a way to connect to the internet that provides an ethernet port. However, once the system is configured, it can run without an internet connection so locally-connected computers and other devices - both wired and wireless - can talk to each other.

Strictly speaking, no. The reason why is because this is a wifi network, not unlike all other wifi networks in existence, except this network creates its own mesh topology (just a fancy way of saying it has a way of including more physical nodes to create one logical network).

Internet access is required, however, if you want your devices to reach the Internet, and if you want the VELOP network to update itself.
