Meet The Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System

Thursday, August 02, 2018




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.

Kogi Bulgogi Fun Meet and KPOP Chicken!

Monday, April 28, 2014


My love affair with Kogi Bulgogi started way before they knew me. Each time I go to a lunch break or dinner, I would immediately think of them as first on the list. The thing I love the most is their Dolsot Bibimbap and I just jazz it up by putting more chili sauce because I love it super spicy. Aside from that, I also order a family size Kimchi Salad so it would present a cold contrast to the hot bibimbap. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. As far as I know, it's the best Bibimbap in town and price wise, it's reasonable so there is no contest on this. We also went here for the Kogi Fun Meet which they hold I think on a regular basis, so follow them on Facebook if you want to join that.

Then we had lunch served!


The California Roll is good and filling. They make this fresh and only serve it while you order. There are other good items on the menu that are worthy of praise but this one's good.


This is Pa Jun or Korean Scallion Pancakes. It is more savory than eggy. I guess that is the effect of the scallions on the pancake. It's smell permeates throughout the egg and it would be a really great thing to eat for starters. We had more things ordered but this next one is free!


Korean Banchan are starters to any meal in Korea. It is also served every time you order a meal in Kogi Bulgogi. They are keeping it authentic unlike some restaurants that would probably charge you a fee just for this. I love the anchovies and of course the hot kimchi!


All time favorite Japchae! You can't leave Kogi Bulgogi without ordering this from he menu. Word of advice though is to eat this while it's hot. It tends to stick to each other when it gets cold but nonetheless it's absolutely good and tasty!


The piece de resistance, this is Kogi Bulgogi's KPOP Chicken. It's their answer to the latest Korean chicken craze. It's a household favorite in Korea which they commonly call as Yangnyeom. This is their KPOP Chicken Sweet Soy Flavor. It's not too salty, crispy but must be eaten while its hot. It is the favorite of the kids. For those who doesn't want it to be too spicy, please order this version of KPOP Chicken! It's available in 4, 6 or 8 pcs.


My favorite is the Kogi Bulgogi KPOP Chicken in Spicy Soy. I love the wings dipped in this spicy sauce and it's so good if you pair it with the hot Kimchi Rice which I think is only found in this restaurant. I can't wait to try it again so I'll go back this weekend just for the KPOP Chicken goodness I've been craving for!


Plus I love the Banana Ice Cream which totally beats the heat!


As for me, I still love Kogi Bulgogi front and end. They even have me immortalized in the shelves of Kogi Bulgogi in Gateway Mall in Quezon City. Whatever it is they are serving from these restaurants, I love the food, I love the shots of Lemon Soju, I love the Bibimbap and the new KPOP Chicken. They are making everything interesting and I will surely go back for more. Need I say more?!

Linksys Launches New SMB Line

Sunday, March 16, 2014



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.
