Match the model and hardware version to Linksys support before pairing nodes.
Step-by-step workflow
- Confirm MX5500/Atlas Pro 6 identity.
- Add the parent and nodes through the supported app flow.

- Review firmware/recovery instructions before resetting a node.
Decision table
| Check | What it tells you | Safe next action |

| Exact scope | The page is limited to the named model, platform or provider | Match the current official source |
| UI or firmware | Menus and behavior can change | Check the exact version or revision |
| Unknown detail | No safe universal claim is made | Use the official support path |
Limits and verification
Mesh coverage and node behavior depend on placement, firmware and client support. Do not generalize to every Velop model.
