Set Up
Download the Linksys app. You need this app to set up Velop.
Go to the app store for your device and search for Linksys.
Install the app, open it and follow the instructions.
Note—The app works with iOS 8.x and later, and Android 4.0.3 and later.
During setup you will create a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account so you can use the app to view or change
your Velop system settings from anywhere you have an internet connection.
Among the many things you can do with Linksys Smart Wi-Fi:
•
Change your Wi-Fi name and password
•
Set up guest access
•
Connect devices to Wi-Fi with WPS
•
Block internet with parental controls
•
Test your internet connection speed
7
Note—During setup we’ll send a verification email. From your home network, click the link in the
email.
Other than plugging in the power and the ethernet cables, the app-based setup process does the
work for you. Once connected, use the app to personalize your Wi-Fi by giving it a name and
password. You also can give nodes names based on where they are so you can identify them in the
rare case where things need attention.
What you’ll need

your nodes.

Dashboard
Dashboard is a snapshot of your Wi-Fi. See how many devices are connected to your Velop system.
Share Wi-Fi password and allow guest access to your Wi-Fi. Dashboard also shows you if any devices
have parental controls on them or have been prioritized for Wi-Fi access.
13
Devices
View and change details for all devices connected to your Wi-Fi. You can view devices on your main
network and your guest network, or display information about each device.
14
To view or change device details
From the Devices screen you can edit device names and change the device icons. You also can
prioritize devices, set parental controls, and see Wi-Fi details. Tap on any device to see details.
15
Wi-Fi Settings
View or change your Wi-Fi name and password and connect devices using Wi-Fi Protected Setupâ„¢.
16
Advanced Settings
Advanced users can change the default security type and Wi-Fi mode. Do not change these unless
you have a lot of experience with Wi-Fi networks. Channel Finder will search for the most-open Wi-Fi
channels in your area to ensure you get the best performance from your Velop system. If you have
more than one node in your Velop system, Channel Finder will find the best channel for each node.
17
Connect a Device with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup allows you to easily connect wireless devices to your Wi-Fi without manually
entering security settings.
18
Guest Access
Use your Guest Access to allow guests to get online while restricting their access to other resources
connected to your Wi-Fi. Send the password by text message or email.
19
Speed Test
Run a speed test to make sure you are getting the speeds you are paying for. Speed test also helps in
Device Prioritization because results determine how Wi-Fi is distributed to the prioritized devices.
•
Download speed is the rate at which internet content is transferred to your Velop system.
•
Upload speed is the rate at which you can upload content to the internet.
Note—Internet connection speeds are determined by a variety of factors, including ISP account
type, local and worldwide internet traffic, and number of devices in your home that are sharing
the internet connection.
20
Parental Controls
Parental controls allow you to control when your kids are online and what they’re doing there. Block
internet to specific devices, or block specific websites.
21
Device Prioritization
Choose up to three devices for priority usage of your internet connection. Those devices - -- wired
and/or wireless - -- always will have the best access when connected. Velop runs a speed test to
determine how to best distribute Wi-Fi to prioritized devices. Other devices will share the leftover
capacity. Prioritized devices appear on Dashboard.
