Makes Your Current WiFi Feel Like Dial-Up
WiFi 6 technology delivers true gigabit speeds throughout your entire home, with up to 5.3 Gbps and 12-stream connectivity. Next-generation OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access) increases efficiency in high-density scenarios, delivering high-speed WiFi to multiple devices simultaneously.
Increased Coverage Range
Velop's Intelligent Mesh Technology, combined with WiFi 6, delivers gigabit WiFi speeds to every corner of your home, including outdoor areas.
Supports Even the Biggest WiFi Hoarders
With 4x the capacity of WiFi 5, WiFi 6 provides enough bandwidth for as many as 50 devices. And MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology allows downloads and uploads on eight devices simultaneously.
Alexa Wi-Fi Access
With Alexa, you can easily manage Wi-Fi access for devices and individuals in the home, taking focus away from screens and back to what's important. Say commands like "Alexa, turn off Timmy's Wi-Fi" , when it's time for dinner or "Alexa, enable guest Wi-Fi" when you have people over.
