Meet The Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System

Having wifi at your business and home seems to be more of a need now. Truth is, people who go to restaurants, coffee shops, any business establishment for that matter would probably ask about your wifi password so they don’t get nervous or agitated when they’re not online. These days, people who manage these establishments have little to no technical knowledge about setting up wifi adapters, routers, repeaters, access points, modems or gateways, or even have time for it. Hiring people to do the job even costs a lot, not to mention the grueling maintenance of it. I’ve had the privilege of doing that work for years so I know it’s not that easy. You also have to worry about protecting your own network, mind the importance of data security and balance it with the need of your customers convenience at any time of the day.

Linksys has been in the industry for years now, and what they have been able to do is to service small offices/home offices with some of the world’s greatest networking devices both when they were still under Cisco and now that they are under Belkin. The Velop Home Wifi Mesh systems for example made it easier to set up wifi networks so you the ordinary user can set up good ones without complicating things as they employ propreitary setup softwares, making each step of the connection and management of it an easy one. They even employ security, new standard technologies that include tri band and dual band mesh systems so you get excellent coverage no matter where you are in the office or at home.

These systems are seamless, use only one wifi name and can even help you conncect everything together via an app, tell you specifically where to choose a location for the other access points so you get latency, throughput or repeater related problems to not happen if you’re setting it up. This means there’s no guess work, plus you can manage guest access, security, parental control, even automated firmware upgrades so you don’t have to do it yourself. That means if there are firmware issues/bugs discovered on the device or new features added on the Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System, it would need less maintenance (which is a great deal if you’re managing a business).

3 nodes you can place in different spots, making sure you have proper coverage inside your home/office.

The 2.4GHz and 5GHz band would be also useful for your devices who work in that frequency. This can also work with B, G, N and AC IEEE wireless standard devices, tri band or dual band can also connect with each other, so those old ones can work with new ones in the same network - without any hitches.

Good thing is, this works fine with ISP supplied modem/gateways. If you are also iffy about wireless connection for your other gadgets, the nodes have 2 ethernet ports each so go ahead if you want to. It also self selects the clearest channel for your devices, if you’re very OC like me, I’d be very satisfied with its performance. They also took time designing this with simple clean lines, white profile so it doesn’t look ugly at all.

Visit linksys.com and their social media channels if you want to know more about it. I’ll have it in my home very soon, you should consider these in yours too.

Linksys Launches New SMB Line

It was nostalgic to see the brand again; Linksys which I've been well acquainted "with" for the last 11 years has just recently launched their new business line tagged as Linksys Small Business which holds a few familiar network devices under its belt. If you remember, they had the RV series, some cameras and storage devices that were transferred to Cisco. Now that Linksys is with Belkin, they want to bring the legacy of the brand name back in small business. Hence, the aggressive release of a range of new gigabit switches, routers, surveillance cameras that are designed to meet the connectivity and security needs of small and medium businesses in the Philippines.

International Micro Village Inc. (Authorized distributor of Linksys in the Philippines) had a small luncheon in Conti's Greenbelt 2 a few days ago to brief the resellers about the new devices. Some press and online peeps were there too. Jai Thampi, Head of Product Management for Linksys in Asia Pacific, Japan, China and Middle East started by explaining about what happened with Cisco, Linksys and Belkin. In a nutshell, nothing has changed much. They will still exist as a separate brand and will continue to get the good things with Belkin and integrate that with Linksys products and vice-versa. They have been successful so far and starting off with new and improved products like these under SOHO devices will show how committed they are to make consumer lives better in the "network" and "Internet" side of things department.

Bringing back the heritage of the Linksys brand hence the best router in the market wrt1900. More technology and investing on more powerful hardware. Their brand research shows that their target market is still SOHO. They think about how the business grows and give the public fundamental working network devices. This is the Linksys SMB Product strategy, they will make their approach scalable so the network would be ready as your businesses becomes bigger.

He also mentions that pretty soon home automation on these products will be done much like the WEMO technology they do in Belkin products. Connect, Unify and Power. This is their call.

Shown above is their LINKSYS LCAD03FLN which is a 1080p 3MP Indoor Night Vision Dome Camera, LINKSYS LCAD03VLNOD 1080p a 3MP Outdoor Night Vision Dome Camera, LINKSYS LCAB03VLNOD a 1080p 3MP Outdoor Night Vision Bullet Camera and LINKSYS LCAM0336OD 1080p 3MP which is an Indoor/Outdoor 360 Mini-Dome Camera are all available in authorized resellers of International Micro Village Inc. nationwide!

They presented also two vpn routers, LINKSYS LRT214 and LINKSYS LRT224. The difference is just the 2 Internet ports. It also supports OpenVPN and EasyLinkVPN which makes things easy if you need to access your network remotely. IPSec VPN throughput is at 110 which is higher than other brands. They briefed the resellers pretty much with just these selling points.

I wish I could test these devices out in my home soon especially the VPN routers. Other than that, their security cameras looks promising. I didn't like what it aesthetically looks like though it might be a standard that they are following that's why it' looks like that (compared to the old WVC cams they had). Will I get to test them out soon? I hope so.

The Strategic Choice: SEO

The Internet has been my second home since its inception. The Philippines has been in the forefront of producing some of the world's best hackers, red hats, white hats, black hats; and network geniuses. This goes the same with the whole region and the market that this creates essentially needs to invest in full proof on line presence so people checking them out would be able to see them on great search engines. If you are being mentioned in one or more reputable web sites around the globe, then you have achieved Link Building power. This is important for any web site and essential for businesses if they depend heavily on clients from this medium. I invested a lot of time and words to have my own site to exist and this is the same concept that they employ also. Marketing strategies are continuing to evolve; none of which are only stuck on information commercials as seen on TV. This medium reaches a wider audience. If the plan is going out of the country, regional or even just off state markets, it would be easier to present a professional looking portfolio via the Internet. Did I say it costs quite less too?!

Getting cost efficient and a little prudent on spending is but a natural occurrence at these times. The government is also doing the same thing so business can stand up faster without compromising quality. Make a noteworthy choice in the marketing industry and invest in some steps that would be a better alternative than going direct to consumers. People after all are on line more these days and if you get to that audience more than those on free TV, print, cable or other media then it would be beneficial for your business. Making the right choice is crucial for the survival in these hard times. You know what to do so make sure you do it right, for all the good or bad reasons! Take it from me; I'm saving quite a remarkable amount because of it! SEO is the strategic thing to do!

Something like it's child Linksys; Something More: A Cisco Certification!

I am not as naive as you think when it comes to my work and how I plan to pursue bigger things in my career, paths taken here and there would not materialize with any corporation that I plan to work with in the future. If the proper certification does not take place and with a very reputable company, I'd probably end up in Row 4...just a few steps after the garbage bin. Now here's a little story how I somewhat changed my life... a turn around of events.

I started a couple of Modules while studying in my University was not far fetched; this was always going to be a part of my career path. I worked in the IT field for several years. Mind you, almost all the high paying jobs applied for required you nowadays and most when I was applying had to have Cisco certification

This is just under their belt. Sometimes, it even has its specialization on specific technologies such as security, IP telephony, and wireless. I am not a stranger to that of course coz since day 1 of my Linksys/Cisco work the jargons were like staple food. Data Communications even on my Electronics and Communications major subjects came into reality in this specific filed I entered in. That is... real network and computer HARDWARE.

So I went on and punished myself with 4 modules, a review and a couple of pointers from previous certification passers. Then I mustered up everything including the payment for the examinations and tried this on one generous morning. I was really really afraid because some of my former classmates in the review center (from what I heard) did not pass. That's just detrimental to the plans I'm shooting for... First things first..the step is the Routing and Switching...which I painfully repeated to myself over and over and over again... it became a norm so I hope that would purge my nervousness from taking the exams.

So ladies and gentlemen... I passed... not that high of an average but it’s just enough to pass the exams...and waited so anxiously for the ID to be mailed… Let us all praise God! A big "THANKS" to him for taking good care of me. ^_^


Yeap!, now the picture seems a little bit clearer. After working a couple of years for this IT corp., I can now plan ahead and put these dreams into reality...one by one. I am in a bit of a hurry, to climb up the corporate ladder, this particular year included so I plan to get the open positions. It may be technical, administrative or managerial in nature but my forte would probably fall still in the same category. Now the certification even made me enjoy the perks, now that it is also long known and recognized worldwide I could seize opportunities elsewhere too. You can have the same opportunities that I had; just make sure you get it from the one and the best… only CISCO! Only their Cisco certification
