Hi. There is no maximum distance on where you can place your node. The best spot for your node is wherever you want coverage, but it should still be within the range of another node (Parent or Child). 0 of 1 found this helpful.
How far apart should Velop be?
As a single unit, the Velop was about as fast as most 2×2 routers, with a top speed of 383Mbps at close range (less than 15 feet). When I increased the distance to 70 feet with one wall in between, it then averaged 209Mbps; again, about the same as similar routers.
Can Velop nodes be too many?
You can add as many Velop to your home as you’d like since every home is unique. Take your home’s layout into consideration when figuring out the optimal number of Velop nodes you need for your home.
Where should I place my Linksys Velop nodes?
Ideally the Velop connected to your modem is centrally located in your home. It’s okay if that’s not possible in your particular setup, but we recommend doing so when you can. We typically recommend one to two Velop nodes per floor.
How do I maximize my Linksys Velop?
Use the Channel Finder feature in the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app to optimize the performance of the Velop system. You can find it in the Menu > Wi-Fi Settings > Advanced Wi-Fi Settings > Channel Finder. If the light is still yellow, try placing the node closer to the primary node.
Can Velop nodes be too close?
It works brilliantly too, provided the nodes aren’t placed too close together (more on that later). If a node loses connection, the remaining nodes self-heal and re-establish an Internet connection through other nodes in the network.
How far apart are Velop Linksys?
Linksys Velop review: Performance
| AmpliFi HD | Linksys Velop | |

| 5 feet | 368.17 | 412.34 |
| 15 feet | 377.73 +2.6% | 527.10 +30% |
| 50 feet | 350.83 -4.7% | 459.35 +11% |

How many Velop nodes can you add?
The Velop network can support up to ten nodes (which would cover approximately 20,000 square feet!); but as powerful as they are individually, you might only need a couple (I know that in my modest 3B/2B I could have easily stopped at two).
Can mesh nodes be too close?
If they are placed too closely together, devices may not smoothly switch (roam) from node to node due to too much overlap between mesh nodes. Too-close placement also means coverage may suffer because APs are not getting close enough to the areas they need to cover. Home construction materials also matter.
Can you have too many mesh WIFI nodes?
Joel cautioned, however, that you shouldn’t overdo it: There’s such a thing as adding too many nodes/beacons, which can start to cause wireless problems.
Can you mix and match Velop nodes?
A: Yes, we can mix and match a couple of the new units with key nodes in our existing Velop system.
How many Linksys nodes do I need?
Linksys recommends one to two nodes per floor. You can always start there and test out various ways of placing the Velop to maximize your coverage. Ideally, the parent node should be centrally located in your home. Since every home is different, you can always add an additional Velop where it is needed.
How many mesh nodes can I have?
Most mesh kits include 2-3 nodes, one will be connected to the modem and the others will be placed around your home. Essentially, you can have numerous nodes; some mesh systems support up to 32 nodes. Before you go and spend all your hard-earned money on 32 nodes, figure out how much coverage you’ll need.
How do I make my mesh network faster?
Here are a few things you can do to get the most out of your bandwidth.
- Measure your speed.
- Check your network.
- Buy enough bandwidth.
- Move your wireless router.
- Change the channel.
- Move to 5GHz.
- Get a Wi-Fi extender.
- Get a mesh network.
How can I make my Linksys router faster?
What can I do if Linksys router is not getting full speed?
- Power cycle your router. The quickest workaround for speed issues concerning a Linksys router is to power cycle it.
- Change the MTU size. Open a web browser.
- Check Media Prioritization settings.
- Try disabling WMM.
How do I optimize mesh WIFI?
Make sure the Nest Wifi router and points are evenly spread out but not too far from each other. Start at your router. Now, think about where else you want a strong Wi-Fi signal in your home. Place your point about halfway in that direction, but no more than 2 rooms away from your router or another point.
How far apart can mesh nodes be?
A good rule of thumb is to place the second node halfway between the router and the dead zone as you would with a range extender, but limit the distance to no more than two rooms, or about 30 feet.
How do you reset a Velop child node?
With your node connected to power and turned on, press and hold the Reset button on the bottom. The light on top 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.
How do you test Velop nodes?
How to do a Speed Check using your Velop system
- Log in to the Velop’s web interface.
- Once you’re in the dashboard, click on Speed Check.
- Once you enter the Speed Check section, a test ping will automatically begin.
- Once the test has completed, you should be able to see the Results based on your current internet setup.
What is the max speed of Linksys Velop?
5.3 Gbps
If you opt for Linksys’ Velop WiFi 6, then you’ll find four Gigabit Ethernet ports on the router (plus one input), along with a USB 3.0 Type-A port that’s designed for network-attached storage. Internally, the routers include a 2.2GHz quad-core processor and offer a maximum theoretical speed of 5.3 Gbps.
Should Velop be in bridge mode?
It’s likely they’ll recommend you enable bridge mode, but doing so can disable a host of features. If you have a Linksys Velop mesh system, for example, bridge mode turns off most of the useful features, such as parental controls, device prioritisation, MAC address filtering and other things.
