A:AnswerYes, all 3 nodes are identical but have their own SSID/Password/Recovery Code sticker on the bottom just in case you and 2 friends want to split these nodes up to run them separately in your respective homes. By connecting one node to your internet modem and using it to set up a new network within the Linksys App, you are designating it to be the primary node. Any other nodes you add to it will become secondary nodes. Please note that you cannot daisy-chain secondary nodes. Each secondary node must have a good connection to the primary node.
A:AnswerIt does work with existing AC Velop. I suggest you make the AX4200 the primary node. I was in a similar sitiuation and chose to rebuild the Wi-Fi network using the same name and password, and remove the AC nodes since these are faster and with better range
A:AnswerActually, you can use one pack, two packs or three packs. It all depends on the size of the home and how much area you need Wifi. I would begin with a two pack. Any of the units can be used as the router, which would be the one you connect to your gateway. The other unit(s) will serve as extensions to that pack. You can buy a two pack system now and if needed, you can extend it by obtaining an additional pack. Decide now which Wifi network you wish to install. Linksys has their network wifi mesh systems in either Wifi 5 or the newer Wifi 6 standard. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerHi. The Velop MX4000 Series Wi-Fi 6 System will only broadcast one Wi-Fi name for the entire network but, you can customize the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band settings.
A:AnswerHi, Rawkfist1501. Our Linksys MX4200 now works with Apple HomeKit to add an extra layer of security to your smart home. You may use the Home app to control which services and devices your HomeKit accessories can communicate with within your network and on the internet.
A:AnswerFirst, it will depend where you have placed your device. I have one placed on an outside wall as close to my outbuilding as I can get ( I have the 3 device mesh system). My outbuilding is about 65 ft from the closest device. For about 50 ft or so between the buildings I get a good signal. At the outbuilding I had limited signal - sometimes it would connect and sometimes it would not or drop. I already had range extenders from my previous wifi system and when I added a range extender on the house's second floor and one in the outbuilding, I got a good signal in the outbuilding. So I would expect you should have a good signal if you are only 10 ft between the two structures. But once again it depends upon where your wifi device is located in relation to the outbuilding.
A:AnswerHi, BillArmy. Yes, as the Linksys MX12600 nodes are compatible with all Velop products. Also, since the unit is a Tri-band system, then it is best to set the Linksys MX12600 as your main router.
A:AnswerI don’t think you can use it as a direct replacement, I have FioS as well and have this plugged into my FioS router. Each node has 4 Ethernet ports and a USB port. I have both of my wired connections (PC and a networked Printer) plugged into the parent node and I’ve turned off all WiFi on the FioS router so the only connections go through the Linksys system and then into the FioS router and so far working great.
A:AnswerHi, shakamar,
Yes, you can setup the Linksys Velop MX4200 as your default router (DCHP). Visit this link for more information: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=317563.
