- Fast WLAN
- Range of base and satellites top
- Weak child safety lock
- No USB ports
If you don't need USB and fewer LAN connections and can do without a comprehensive parental control system, Linksys Velop is an affordable alternative to Netgear Orbi. Thanks to the third frequency band, the Velop satellites also provide high WLAN coverage.
- Separate WLAN backbone
- Roaming support
- expensive
The slim Velop towers are less conspicuous than the Orbi nodes, but are still more expensive with somewhat lower throughput. On the other hand, Velop runs on T-VDSL connections including IPv6 and multicast IPTV. Unfortunately, the Entertain streams are only available in the WLAN...

- Quick
- high range
- Expensive
With Velop, it is very easy to set up WLAN connections with a fast speed and high range. However, this has its price.
Velop delivers on its promise of continuous WLAN coverage when there is a usable 5 GHz radio connection between the nodes, which also depends on the structural conditions. The lack of AP mode is a major drawback, as it forces owners of forced routers - and anyone else who doesn't want to change their router - to change their network topology...
The Velop system achieves good values over short to medium distances, but beyond that the transfer rates drop significantly. The simple operation of Velop via the app is a plus point.
