LINKSYS Velop Wi-Fi 6 AX4200 (2-pack) (MX8400)

Network equipment with an American pedigree under the LINKSYS brand is in demand both for the home and for the business segment. The Velop Wi-Fi 6 AX4200 MESH system will fit perfectly into a private country house or a large apartment.

Airspeed

The highlight of the model lies directly in the name — it supports high-speed Wi-Fi 6 networks. In total, you can squeeze throughput up to 4200 Mbps from the system: 600 Mbps at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, 1200 Mbps in one 5 GHz band and 2400 Mbps in the second 5 GHz band. LINKSYS Velop Wi-Fi 6 AX4200 uses the latest 802.11ax technologies, including WPA3 encryption, OFDMA transmission, MU-MIMO simulcast streaming, and more.

Design approach

The head unit of the kit is equipped with gigabit WAN and LAN ports (3 pcs.), a USB interface for connecting network storages, and four antennas are built into the central module of the system for efficient distribution of a wireless signal. In a similar stylish design, a repeater node with three gigabit LAN ports is made. Switching client devices from one system node to another is seamless — users will not even notice it when moving around the house.

Convenient management

The operation of the kit is managed through the configuration web interface or the LINKSYS mobile application. The programme has separate tabs for quickly setting up guest access, parental control functions, and viewing network status. Additional options include DHCP and IPv6 settings, MAC address filtering, and DNS settings. Upsets the model only for its high cost. However, it is not a sin to shell out a tidy sum for a high-class product, being confident in its reliable and uninterrupted operation for the benefit of providing a wide wireless network coverage area.
