1. Wi-Fi Generation: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac).

1. Speed Rating: AC1300 (867 Mbps on 5 GHz + 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz).

1. Band Support: Dual-Band (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz).

1. Coverage:

1. 1-Pack: Up to 1,500 sq. ft
2. 2-Pack: Up to 3,000 sq. ft.
3. 3-Pack: Up to 4,500 sq. ft.

1. Processor: 716 MHz Quad-Core CPU.

1. Wired Connectivity: 2x Auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports per node (WAN/LAN).

1. Antennas: 3x internal antennas and high-power amplifiers.

1. Intelligent Mesh Technology: Works seamlessly with all other Linksys Velop nodes. You can mix and match this Dual-Band node with Tri-Band or Wi-Fi 6 Velop nodes to customize your coverage.

1. Ultra-Compact Design: These nodes are significantly shorter (about 5.5 inches tall) than the Tri-Band versions, making them much easier to tuck away on bookshelves or small side tables.

1. Seamless Roaming: The system creates a single network name (SSID). As you move from the bedroom to the kitchen, your device automatically switches to the strongest node without dropping your connection or video call.

1. Linksys App Setup: Guided, animation-based setup that takes about 5 minutes per node. The app also allows you to manage guest Wi-Fi and perform speed tests remotely.

1. MU-MIMO Support: Allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, reducing wait times and improving network efficiency for busy households.

1. Node Placement: Since this is a Dual-Band system, it doesn't have a dedicated "backhaul" band. To maintain high speeds, ensure the nodes are within clear "line-of-sight" of each other as much as possible, avoiding heavy walls or mirrors.

1. Wired Backhaul: If you have Ethernet ports in your walls, plug the nodes into them. This "Ethernet Backhaul" effectively turns the system into a high-speed wired network, giving you the full AC1300 speed at every node.

1. Guest Access: Use the Linksys App to create a separate "Guest Network." Its safer for your main devices and prevents guests from accessing your private files or smart home gear (like cameras).

1. Firmware Updates: Ensure "Automatic Updates" are enabled in the app. Linksys frequently pushes security patches that keep your home network safe from new online threats.
