We saw earlier, that the Linksys Velop is modular , and while each new unit must be independently setup, the procedure remains the same. Linksys has gone a step further and included a feature wherein the app tells you exactly which unit is inactive in case of a disconnection. The app has a slew of more user friendly functions, some of which are present on the dashboard, while the rest are found in the menu on the left hand side. At a single glance, we can see the number of connected Velop units, Internet connectivity, Guest access toggles and parental controls.
Connectivity wise, the Velop may prove to be a slight deal breaker for the more savvy users for two major reasons – The absence of USB ports and the inclusion of very few ethernet ports. However, USB Ports on routers and WiFi devices are not known to be the fastest so its not really a problem per se.
