Based upon my usage in a 3 level home with about 6k sq ft to cover, I would suggest the Velop and get rid of the current router and power-line adapters. I replaced a router, two repeaters and 3 power line adapters and now have better performance with Velop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It works better for me
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Heck yea, I had 3 hardwired wireless routers and the velop works just as good. The power line adapters get slower and slower and must be reset often. I highly recommend the velop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should, but get Netgear Orbi or Google WI-Fi instead. Now that I've tried Velop, I've never been so eager to dismiss an entire series of routers. The only way to set them up and manage them is with the app, which is quite bad. At least with Google, the app and router firmware are actually good enough that you can let it do its thing and it's fine. With Orbi, it's absurdly fast, you have control over individual SSIDs and there's actually a web interface.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the same thing. I disabled all of the functionality (Wireless, DHCP, etc), changed the IP (from 192.168.1.1, as the Velop uses that IP as well) and changed the hostname on the EA9500 and set these up with the same SSID that I had on the EA9500. The additional devices only require power - no extra Cat5e/Cat6 cables needed. Since the Velop doesn't have a bunch of ports (just 1), I kept the EA9500 to act as a switch. Spreading out the Velop units DOES make the signal better with little to no impact on speed.
