Sometimes I ponder about splurging on the ultimate mesh Wi-Fi system for my flat, you know? The shape of my place is kinda peculiar, so the Wi-Fi signal doesn't quite make it to every nook and cranny. And with two kids who are always gaming or streaming, congestion becomes a real headache. But then I take a peek at the price tag and, well, I quickly change my mind. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard about the Velop Pro 6E, the new and affordable mesh Wi-Fi system from Linksys.
Now, in case you're not up to speed on mesh networking, let me fill you in. It's like a wireless network that teams up with multiple routers to give you way better coverage than a lone ranger router can muster. Don't get me wrong, those individual routers can already reach pretty far on their own. But where mesh networks truly shine is when your solo router starts struggling to cover the whole enchilada. You see, when the signal strength dwindles, Wi-Fi speeds take a nosedive. That's where mesh networks come in, swooping in to deliver those five-bar signals wherever you roam.

I've been a faithful user of Linksys products since long before I became a parent. I can vouch for their rock-solid reliability. And let me tell you, the price of the Velop Pro 6E won't make your wallet cry. It's a reasonable £199 for a single unit, £379 for a duo, and £499 for a trio.
Let's talk about the juicy details of the Linksys Velop Pro 6E. This bad boy runs on Wi-Fi 6E, which makes use of a nifty third band, the 6GHz band, alongside the usual suspects, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, it means less interference and better speeds since the data on that 6GHz band isn't competing with your smart home gadgets or your neighbors' Wi-Fi frenzy. And let me tell you, this baby can handle a boatload of smart home gadgets—up to 200 devices at once! When it comes to connection speeds, we're talking a whopping 5.4Gbps.
Now, brace yourself for the impressive range this bad boy packs. A single unit can blanket an area of up to 3,000 square feet, give or take a few pesky obstacles. You double the fun with a twin-pack, which can cover a generous 6,000 square feet. And for those of you living in mansions or just wanting Wi-Fi coverage fit for a king, the triple-pack has got your back, stretching its reach up to a whopping 9,000 square feet. So, to put it simply, you'll need one unit for a cozy flat or a smaller house, two units for a spacious four-bedroom house, and three units for a grand mansion.

Now, I haven't had a chance to put this bad boy to the test just yet. However, our very own tech guru, Yasmine Crossland, got her hands on the Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E) Linksys Atlas Pro 6, and she had nothing but praise for its straightforward setup and hassle-free operation. It was a real hero when it came to solving those pesky Wi-Fi signal issues. And guess what? This newer product we're talking about here boasts even better speeds and supports a whole lot more devices. So, it seems like a mighty fine option for those larger spaces that demand nothing but the best.
In conclusion, if you've been pondering like me, trying to find a mesh Wi-Fi system that won't break the bank, the Linksys Velop Pro 6E might just be the answer to your prayers. With its top-notch performance, extensive coverage, and reasonable price tag, it's a contender that's hard to resist. So go ahead, boost your Wi-Fi game and bid farewell to those pesky dead zones. Your digital adventures await!
