I purchased the Linksys - Velop Plug-In AC1300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Mesh Extender to help the weak WiFi signal in my laundry room. My new LG washer and dryer has WiFi capability but my WiFi signal was being dropped of and on. After I set-up the Linksys - Velop Plug-In AC1300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Mesh Extender in my laundry room, the connect has been solid with no interruptions.

Works great with my MX10 and MX5 system. This solved my problem of my 2 Alarm.com cameras being blind to the WiFi. Interface is not as easy to use as Apple but speeds are great.

I am running 4 nodes in my house, with 2 child nodes using a wired backchannel. I purchased this extender to fill out coverage in some hard to reach areas. This extender simply will not connect to my other Velop nodes. I tried multiple times and event went so far as placing the extender in the same room as the wired parent node and still no luck, only flashing red lights (time and time again). I will be retuning this product.

I have a 3 node Velop mesh network (AC6600) and had one problem area in a room where the walls are lined from 2 sides with aluminum backed insulation. You can imagine how this effects any wireless transmission. I used this plug-in to establish basically a "corner flow" instead of a direct line from current nodes - to go through one not aluminum backed wall instead. Installation is smooth and completely painless. It takes literally less than 5 minutes end to end, and most of this time is just waiting until the extender boots, connects (this can take >30seconds the first time), updates to the latest software version, and reboots again. It is great that it uses the same colors on the status as other nodes. Since the installation (about 3 weeks ago) it works very stable is it continuously pulls 2 zoom sessions over it at the same time (we are a household that runs many times 4 individual zoom sessions at the same time in addition to music or TV streaming). This extender does not have the connectivity to further nodes, just back to existing mesh nodes, but this is what the function of an extender is. Signal strength and performance are great.

As an addition to the mesh system, this work. I bought to add to an existing VELOP system, and it pairs and works great with the system even though it is not the tower style that the other three nodes are. Do beware that the MESH system is tricky to set up and Linksys is difficult to get help from. . conflicting tech support (this isnt unusual in the tech field Ive found) and often the advice is "unplug it and then plug it back in" - sigh. .5 stars for the individual product, 3.5 for the VELOP system, 2 for LINKSYS tech support (I was hung up on many times, including once in the middle of workarounds)
