Linksys made an excellent mesh WiFi system, but it's one of the most expensive, too
Business Insider
The Velop is best used as a "system," where you have several units placed throughout your home to deliver a fast WiFi signal wherever you are.
It sounds like a regular WiFi extender could do the same thing, but the Velop is much better. For one, the Velop doesn't need you to manually switch over your devices to a new band, or even to one of the satellite extender nodes. Everything is done automatically, which means you can roam around your house without worrying about switching connections.
The Velop excels as a mesh WiFi system, but so do the others systems out there. So while the Velop impresses with its performance, its comparatively high price tag might make it less tempting.
I tested the $500 three-pack Linksys Velop system for my 2,800 square foot home. Here's how it fared:
- Colon cancer rates are rising in young people. If you have two symptoms you should get a colonoscopy, a GI oncologist says.
- I spent $2,000 for 7 nights in a 179-square-foot room on one of the world's largest cruise ships. Take a look inside my cabin.
