Airtel Providing Linksys Velop AC 2200 Mesh Router with Fiber Plus Mesh Plan

Airtel said that its mesh system due to its “intelligent design” will be able “dynamically recalibrate itself” according to the environment resulting in “optimal speed and coverage” as compared to repeaters and extenders. The company said that the device with its multi-band technology will not be “limited by the constraints of backhaul” that typically impacts the speed of the connection.

The device is said to be covered under warranty for a period of two years and the company said that the installation will be completed within 48 hours from the time of registration.

The users are also said to be provided access to a Mesh App that acts as a “one point solution” to all the user issues.

“It shows if all the devices are properly set up and are up and running, the devices connected to the system, parental control, speed check, guest access,” Airtel said.

It has to be noted that the three pack Linksys Velop AC 2200 is available on the leading e-commerce sites for a price of Rs 39,999.

Linksys on its site highlighted that its mesh system consists of a primary router connecting directly to the modem and a series of satellite nodes placed around the house for complete WiFi coverage.

Further, Linksys said that the nodes could cover up to 2000 square feet “under normal use conditions” but that the actual range depends on factors like “wireless obstructions, operating environments and building material.”

The Linksys Velop AC 2200 also said to feature Linksys Shield that provides access to parental control features for filtering content and managing screen time on specific devices.
