Linksys Announces New Velop Dual-Band Mesh WiFi System

Linksys, celebrating thirty years of networking and WiFi innovation for the home and business this year, today announced the availability of its latest addition to the Linksys family of Velop Whole Home WiFi Mesh Systems, the new Velop Dual-Band Mesh WiFi System. The new Velop Dual-Band Series is a smaller and more affordable WiFi System that is designed and built as the world's first mass-market flexible WiFi System. It also provides all the same award-winning and powerful software features found in the Velop Tri-Band offerings including Intelligent Mesh , advanced parental controls, website blocking, Amazon Alexa compatibility, as well as ease of use and set up with the Linksys App but in a smaller form factor with Dual-Band technology at a more affordable price.

"Velop is now the most flexible whole home mesh WiFi system on the market," said Justin Doucette, senior director of product management at Linksys. "We have a Velop offering that fits any home or small business environment as well as options for different broadband service packages to deliver the best WiFi experience for all the devices on the network. Our new Velop Dual-Band provides the price for performance that customers are looking for plus all the intelligent software and security features that continue to be updated for real time access to the latest enhancements."




New Linksys Velop Dual-Band Whole Home WiFi Mesh System
Linksys is expanding its Velop family to include a Dual-Band modular mesh WiFi system, (available in 1-pack, 2-pack and 3-pack options) that can be installed in various mesh configurations to support any type of home, floorplan or WiFi footprint. Velop is compatible with any ISP modem or gateway. Both Dual-Band and Tri-Band nodes are 100% interoperable and interchangeable and allow for easy upgradability based on a customers' need. Velop Dual-Band nodes are designed for performance as well as elegance; they stand about two inches shorter than the Velop Tri-Band solution and small enough to be placed anywhere with a clean and attractive look that appeals to everyone - which is unique to the mesh category of solutions for the home. Also coming soon (planned for June) is a Velop Wall Mount to put Velop in high locations on the wall or remove from shelves for a clutter-free environment.

The nodes work together as a WiFi system to provide reliable wireless connectivity throughout the home. Each Velop "node" is a powerful Dual-Band AC1300 device that can act as a parent node or client node to deliver WiFi all around the home while providing future proof technology customers need as they bring new and more devices into the home. Individual nodes may be connected wirelessly or by Ethernet for the fastest, most reliable connection. This is an ultra-simple and powerful system that uses only one WiFi network name and password to give users seamless and highly secure WiFi.

Velop Dual-Band leverages Linksys Intelligent Mesh Technology, which is an evolution in Home WiFi engineering that combines Linksys software and hardware to deliver WiFi via the fastest path to the internet for the best experience possible. Intelligent Mesh Technology helps provide better speed at distances, improved client handling between nodes, and dynamic improvements to back-haul to always ensure the best connection to the Internet.

Easily set-up the Velop system from an Android or iOS device using the Linksys App. With a few easy steps, Velop can connect to form a mesh network that covers the home in strong and reliable WiFi. After setup is complete, the Linksys App serves as a powerful WiFi management tool with useful features such as guest access, parental controls, device prioritization, and insights that help Velop users get maximum performance and utility from their network.

Dual Band Wifi - Lumia 1520

Dear all,



Thanks for the reply.......looks like the forum is more helpful than nokia's online chat support system......the person I was chatting didn't know that 1520 has dual band wifi......

 

Whether the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual SIM Mobile phone being sold in India has dual wcdma bands or quad wcdma bands

The link for 3G version is at http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/mobile/phone/lumia640-xl-dual-sim/specifications/ it says that lumia 640 xl has quad wcdma network bands and supports the following wcdma bands

• WCDMA network: Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz)
• But Amazon India website says that

its has dual wcdma bands and only supports WCDMA, 1900/2100 MHz.

When you are saying "The listings would be correct" then you are referring to the listings on Microsoft link or Amazon link. Whose listings are correct? Amazon or Microsoft?

So, still it is not clear Whether the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual SIM Mobile phone being sold in India has dual wcdma bands or quad wcdma bands

Can anyone please clarify?
