Quicker system setup, new Designer Series droplet design, and the power of WiFi 6E
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Linksys, a global innovator in WiFi technology, today announces the latest addition to its WiFi 6E product portfolio – the Linksys Velop Pro 6E, first of its new Designer Series using the “nature inspired” droplet design, along with advanced features that provide the ultimate WiFi 6E experience at an affordable price point.
WiFi 6E offers an extra 6GHz band connection that helps cut down on interference and improves speeds to your connected devices. Powered by the Qualcomm® Immersive Home 316 Platform, the Linksys Velop Pro 6E brings incredible range and coverage with WiFi 6E, enabling users to stream, download, or work with a faster and wider connection, and more devices on their network. Each tri-band node has one 1Gbps Ethernet LAN port for connecting wired devices to wireless networks. With the latest Linksys Mobile App, the Velop Pro 6E is easily set up in under 10 minutes*, and managed remotely with security and other useful features such as guest access, parental controls, and more.
“Today a Connected Home with ubiquitous Wi-Fi is the new normal, but people want the network devices to blend into their decor,” said Vice President of Experience, Jeevan Patil. “We have acted on that demand with our Velop Pro 6E, the first in our new Designer Series, using our droplet design, inspired by nature, in colors such as Carbon Black, Pebble Gray, and Pure White.”
“People not only want the home network device to blend in, but they want to install it quickly,” said Principal Engineer, Michael Forbes. “With our Velop Pro 6E, we reduced the setup time by two thirds, so a complete system can be setup and operational in under 10 minutes.”

The 1-pack covers ~3,000 square feet, the 2-pack covers ~6,000 square feet, and the 3-pack covers up to ~9,000 square feet.
