Linksys heeft twee nieuwe features aangekopndigd voor hun Linksys App. Linksys heeftr de Bridge Mode toegevoegd voor Velop™ en een ouderlijk toezicht plansysteem voor Velop en alle Linksys App Enabled Routers (voorheen bekend als Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers) van zijn Max-Stream™ en WRT™ product lijnen.

“These two new App features have been among those most requested by our customers”, aldus Dan Albertson, senior product manager voor Linksys software. “Many Velop customers need the ability to configure Velop in Bridge Mode to allow them to keep their existing router or gateway from their service provider in place for other services such as voice or IPTV while leveraging Velop’s whole home Wi-Fi coverage and performance. Parental controls scheduling has been a feature in the Linksys browser-based interface but our users have told us they need the flexibility to manage internet access schedules for their kids’ devices from the Linksys App. These are just two features among many we’ll be rolling out to the Linksys App in the coming months.”
