Back at WWDC 2019, Apple announced HomeKit would get a feature that promises to improve security on its smart home platform via Wi-Fi routers. This feature called HomeKit Secure Router works by applying firewall rules to HomeKit accessories connected via Wi-Fi or the routers ethernet ports.
During the announcement Apple said that several Router brands would roll out HomeKit Secure Router support, including Linksys and Eero. However, it was not until 2020 that we saw major adoption of this feature. As of September 2020, HomeKit Secure Router support is available for the Velop Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi.

So when support arrived, Linksys sent me over the Velop Intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi System, 3-Pack, AC6600. I have been using the setup for a few months now in my HomeKit setup in my Home. In this review/walkthrough, I want to share the setup process and explain what HomeKit-enabled routers offer. Along with my thoughts on what this feature could offer in the future.
