Linksys Velop WHW0103 Mesh WiFi System
The Linksys Velop WHW0103 is a 3-node dual-band mesh WiFi system designed to blanket homes up to 4,500 square feet in reliable wireless coverage. It replaces your existing router and connects directly to your modem from any internet service provider.
Key Takeaways
- Covers up to 4,500 sq ft with three dual-band AC1300 mesh nodes, ideal for 3 to 5 bedroom homes
- Supports 30+ simultaneous devices with combined speeds up to 1.3 Gbps (867 + 400 Mbps)
- Works with any ISP-supplied modem and sets up in minutes through the Linksys app
Coverage and Performance
Each of the three Velop nodes broadcasts on dual bands using 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi standards. The system delivers combined wireless speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps, split across a 2.4 GHz band (400 Mbps) and a 5 GHz band (867 Mbps). That is enough throughput for 4K streaming, online gaming, and general browsing across 30 or more connected devices.
The intelligent mesh technology continuously self-organizes to find the fastest path to the internet. Unlike a traditional router paired with range extenders, every Velop node delivers a full-strength signal under a single network name and password. You can connect nodes wirelessly or link them with Ethernet for a wired backhaul.
Setup and Management
Setting up the WHW0103 is handled entirely through the Linksys app on iOS or Android. The app walks you through connecting the first node to your modem and adding additional nodes to expand coverage. From there you can manage network settings, create a guest network, set parental controls to block content or pause internet access, and add more nodes as your household grows.
Design and Connectivity
The compact white tower design has a footprint significantly smaller than a traditional router and blends easily into any room. Each node includes Ethernet ports for hardwiring devices like smart TVs, game consoles, or desktop computers. The system is secured with WPA2 wireless encryption.
