Linksys Adds Browser-Based Interface Experience On Macs And Windows PCs To Award-Winning Velop Whole Home Wi-Fi Modular Mesh System
PLAYA VISTA, Calif., June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys®, a leader in networking solutions for the home and business and the first to ship 100 million routers, today announced it has added a browser-based user interface for Velop® users. Similar to the browser-based user interface available with Linksys WRT™ and Max-Stream™ routers, the user interface is now available for Velop users to access advanced features as well as manage their home network from a Mac or Windows computer in addition to an iOS or Android device. Velop was built for performance, design and for ease of use in setting up and managing the home network with the Linksys App; but now with the browser-based setup, there are even more ways to control the home network for a better Wi-Fi experience. The new user interface is available globally to all Velop users now with the latest firmware update. "As the most awarded mesh solution on the market by media and reviewers for its strong performance, simple setup and elegant design, there was one feature that certain reviewers wished Velop had and that was access to advanced features from a PC through a browser-based interface," said Dan Albertson, senior product manager for software at Linksys. "Customers wanted a browser-based interface to access advanced features not found on the app or make changes to their network from their computers rather than their phones or tablets. So Linksys got to work and we are excited to deliver this feature to customers today."
Users can continue to enjoy the features found exclusively on the Linksys App, including:
Velop networks with Automatic Firmware Update enabled will automatically receive the new firmware overnight. If Automatic Firmware Updates is disabled, the new firmware can be downloaded and installed manually. Please check the Linksys support page for more details.
