The Linksys Velop mesh Wi-Fi system across the dual- and tri-band models.
The Linksys Velop MX4200 is the brand's second Wi-Fi 6 mesh router after the MX5300 I reviewed. Despite the lower model number, it's not really inferior, and the two are physically indistinguishable in looks and dimensions.
The Linksys Velop MX5300 Wi-Fi 6 launched in Singapore on 20th February 2020 for S$569, initially exclusive to Challenger and Hachi.tech. It's the third Velop mesh system, effectively the successor to the original tri-band Velop.
A key gripe with the Linksys Velop (Tri-Band) was its price, S$349 to S$749 across packs. The Linksys Velop (Dual-Band), launched 28th July 2018, solves that by being roughly half the price, making mesh Wi-Fi far more wallet-friendly.
The Linksys Velop is Linksys's first Wi-Fi mesh system, launched in Singapore on 12th April 2017, the second after Netgear Orbi. Like the eero I've used since January, mesh lets your whole home share a single SSID.
