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.

it might be affected by rain or other weather conditions.

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.
