Solved: Linksys Velop Keeps Shutting Off
- Update the Velop Firmware
Out of the number of reasons causing the problem, the outdated firmware is one of the common ones. There are chances that the firmware of the Velop nodes that keeps shutting off has become outdated. Thus, you are advised to have a look at the firmware version on which your node is operating. Just in case it seems outdated, you are suggested to upgrade the node as soon as possible. The node can be updated by accessing the Linksys Velop login portal. Simply, access the linksyssmartwifi.com login URL on a device connected to the Velop node, and complete the login process. Once done, check if the node needs an update. If yes, do not wait to do the honors. And yes, be very sure not to upgrade all the Linksys nodes at once. This can increase the problem instead of resolving it.
- Check the Node’s Location
Are you sure that your Linksys Velop node is placed in an interference-free area? If yes, then you need to ensure its distance from another node. Sometimes, improper distance between nodes is the reason why they keep shutting off. To make things possible, we suggest you decrease that distance. Try to keep the value between 8ft to 10ft. But make sure that you do not make this value zero. Otherwise, the signals emitted by both nodes will get involved in a clash and you will remain empty handed. And yes, how can we forget the WiFi interference thing. Just make sure that your Linksys nodes are not placed near devices emitting electromagnetic radiations, objects containing a large amount of water, objects made of metal, and lustrous surfaces. The placement of the node away from masonry constructions is also recommended.
The Final Words
Now that we have reached the end of the write-up explaining what to do if the Linksys Velop keeps shutting off, we are expecting that you have troubleshot the problem. Just in case nothing has worked, it is time to pull of the ultimate card of performing a factory default reset of the Velop node. You might need to reset all nodes and set them up once again.
