Linksys

Linksys is an American networking brand that began in 1988 in a California garage, founded by a husband-and-wife team convinced that home networking should not be reserved for tech experts. It grew into one of the names that brought WiFi into homes, and its WRT routers became a reference for open-source firmware communities.

Today the company, part of Linksys Holdings, builds mesh systems and routers such as the Velop range and the WiFi 7 Velop Micro, with a privacy pledge that its software does not track, collect or sell user data, and materials including recyclable aluminium and recycled plastic. It reports more than 35 years of activity, 170 million devices shipped and presence in 209 countries.
