Velica is our very first tri-band mesh WiFi router that is designed to become your smart home gateway solution. With its mesh technology, Velica can deliver consistent connectivity to your entire house or business, across multiple units.

Velica is more powerful than other home routes since it provides one 2.4GHz band, offering speeds up to 400Mbps, and two 5GHz bands, for speeds up to 867Mbps. A tri-band WiFi router allows more connected devices and less interference. Using Velica simply takes your WiFi network to the next level.

Say No To Hackers, Your Home Network Security Solution

There are numerous mesh WiFi routers in the market, but there are not many of them emphasizing security and privacy. Because of this, we created Velica based on your security needs in mind.

Velica provides the best encryption and authentication with multiple VPN protocol support. Same as our other GL.iNet’s products, Velica supports 30+ OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN service providers. Apart from that, your privacy and security can also be protected with Cloudflare and NextDNS. By using Cloudflare, your cybersecurity will be brought to the next level by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data via man-in-the-middle attacks. NextDNS also strengths your Internet security by offering ads, trackers, and malicious websites blocking service on all your devices, in-depth analytics about your Internet traffic, and the feature of shielding your children from adult content.

Block Ads Everywhere, AdGuard Home Supported

We know some digital ads are very intrusive and obnoxious, that’s why we collaborate with AdGuard Home, to offer you a built-in software for blocking ads and online trackers. AdGuard Home is a dedicated Internet filtering software that can not only block ads in your browsers, but also works in your apps and games to keep you safe from online trackers and analytics systems.
