Linksys Velop Micro 7 review

The Velop Micro 7 is a small Wi-Fi 7 node for homes that do not need the biggest kits. Linksys's product page lists dual-band Wi-Fi 7 with multi-link operation, coverage of up to 200 m² (2,200 sq. ft.) per node, a quad-core processor and one 2.5 Gbps auto-sensing Ethernet port for multi-gig internet. Linksys says the system needs no app and collects no personal data. It ranks last because the features overlap with the Orbi 370 and Deco BE25, which publish larger rated coverage per kit, and because Linksys's store showed prices in another currency from our location, so we could not verify a USD price. Check the US price against the Orbi 370 2-pack before buying. For a small home where looks and size matter, it remains a reasonable Wi-Fi 7 option. We compared documented features and published prices only.
