Network of nodes

Every home is unique. Velop creates a modular mesh system of Wi-Fi nodes to provide wireless coverage throughout your home. Whether you have one node, three nodes, or more, we'll help you get them in the right spot - one at a time - for the best performance everywhere.

Velop Plug-in must be used with an existing Velop system and requires a Velop primary node connected to your modem with an ethernet cable.

Set Up

1. Open the Linksys app.
2. Log in
3. Find and tap "Set up a New Product" in the main menu.
4. Select "Add Another Node" and follow setup instructions.

How to restore factory defaults

You should never need to reset your Velop Plug-in to factory default settings—a very disruptive process. A factory reset restores your Velop Plug-in to the state it was when you took it out of its box, requiring you to go through the setup process again.

To reset your Velop Plug-in to factory defaults:

- With your node plugged in, use a press and hold the Reset button on the side. The light on front of the node will turn red and fade in pulses. Do not release the button until the light goes out and then turns bright red.

Velop System Settings

Using your Linksys app, you can view or change Velop system settings to make your Wi-Fi more secure or to work better with a device or game. You can access settings from anywhere in the world if you have an internet connection, but you can also access your Velop system directly from your home network if you are not online. To view the Velop user guide, detailing how to use the Linksys app go to linksys.com/support/Velop.
