Connection-Maximizing Routers

The Linksys Velop Mesh Router System will Make its Debut at CES 2017

— January 5, 2017 — Tech
Being that the home is quickly being filled with more connected products than ever, the Linksys Velop Mesh Router System is a new way to help ensure every inch of the home has WiFi.

WiFi dead zones in a home can quickly render technology ranging from smartphones, to laptops offline. While WiFi extenders have helped to somewhat solve this, they often throttle the speed and can sometimes create connectivity issues. The Linksys Velop Mesh Router System solves this with a router design that has multiple units that can be spread throughout the home to ensure complete coverage regardless of the location.

The Linksys Velop Mesh Router System turns a single Internet connection into an expansive network without having to worry about overworking a single router or getting kicked offline.
