The Linksys Velop WiFi 6 AX4200 Mesh Wi-Fi Tri-Band System takes streaming and gaming in your network to the next level and supports up to 40 devices. That's a lot of devices like laptops, TVs, and smart home systems that can all be easily operated simultaneously. With its simple setup, advanced security settings, and parental controls, the Velop WiFi 6 AX4200 is a perfect upgrade for any household with up to 4 rooms and can be set up in just a few minutes. Since it sends and receives multiple data streams simultaneously, WiFi 6 (AX) has 3.5 times the capacity of the standard WiFi 5 (AC). The BSS Coloring technology minimizes congestion by blocking interference from nearby networks and ensures a strong, clear Wi-Fi signal even in remote corners of your home. As with all Velop Mesh Wi-Fi nodes, the wireless coverage can be easily expanded by adding another Velop Mesh Wi-Fi node. Additional USB and Ethernet ports provide versatile connectivity options.
