Kitguru Says
The Linksys Velop uses mesh technology to provide larger WiFi coverage than a standalone router

Dedicated connection between devices, Strong throughput at medium range, Uses latest Wi-Fi technologies
Inconsistent results during lab tests, Expensive, Lacks USB port

I like the approach that Linksys is taking with Velop – provide customers who want a wireless mesh or whole-home coverage offering, but with the backing, knowledge and expertise that a wireless veteran is known for. In addition, it's good that Linksys isn...
