Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Velop AC1300 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System's ease of use, expanded Wi-Fi coverage, and strong signal. Many appreciate the improved range and performance compared to single routers, finding setup straightforward. A common concern, however, is the relatively high cost.

    The system was extremely easy to set up with the Linksys app. It has very good range, it goes about 100 feet from inside my house to our picnic area outside. Can control all the connections from the app also.

    This product was exactly what we need to manage and extend our WiFi network in our house. It could not have been easier to set up. The app walks you step by step. Absolutely recommend this product!

    Our signal was weak before in the house and it's a 2784sqft house. But now I get signal across the street at myneighbors house and all the way to the back fence over 35 feet from the back of the house

    The claims of boosting coverage are not an exaggeration BUT there isn't a disclaimer that the additional coverage comes at a cost. Speeds were drastically reduced even standing 20ft in front of the main unit with absolutely nothing (walls, desks, equipment) between the computer and the unit. Did it give me internet access across the entire property...YES. Did it give me the same speeds as a basic router...NO. The UI/UX is incredibly intuitive and the way the app works is truly awesome. The Velop system just doesn't give you the performance you'd expect for the price. After doing a TON of research I decided to return it and try the Netgear Orbi system and WOW does that thing live up to the specs they promote. Same exact placement of Satellites and Base unit as the Velop but the performance doesn't take a hit whatsoever. I get 100% of my advertised ISP speeds anywhere on my property. The Orbi app is great but not as good as the Velop as some of the more advanced stuff needs to be done using the web login which is a bummer but overall I cannot recommend the Velop. GO WITH ORBI!

      Hi JayC,

      Your Velop System has a lot to offer, and as what you have described, it's possible that the settings of your Velop nodes were not properly configured causing poor performance. We regret to hear that the item is no longer with you as we could have tapped one of our Escalation Engineers to optimize your nodes to fully maximize its potentials.

      Should you have other Linksys device that needs assistance, we'd be more than happy to serve you at [email protected].


      Regards,

      Jay

    Worked really great for the first several months. They it started dropping like crazy. Don’t know why. When it works it’s great, when it’s spotty it’s infuriating. I will say though that I have a lot of connected/streaming devices so perhaps it’s not a suitable for my needs. Really simple set up though that was excellent.

      Hi, BMoney,

      Have you checked if the connection from the modem is stable? If the nodes are already running on the latest firmware, we’ll have our Escalation Engineers help you investigate the challenge. Just send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact information and a link to this review as our reference.

    I am very pleased with the parental controls of this product however am disappointed with the lagging across all devices. Movies keep lagging and my sons Xbox (when we do allow him on it) lags terribly. The ability to block individual sites like youtube and instagram though is fantastic. Perhaps one of the upgraded models would be a better choice... Overall though, this product takes the fight out of turning the electronics off. The kids don't even argue about it anymore!

    Poor signal - repeatedly kicked off of internet

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Poor performer in a 2,200 sf home (rated for up to 4,500 sf). The signal strength was poor (about 25% of what it was putting out to the modem). Had to send one of the faulty nodes back to the manufacturer. Shortly after being replaced it went back to kicking you off of the internet. The system needed re-set (which is a pain) every 2-3 days in order to prevent being kicked out continuously. Eventually, I replaced it with a single router (no repeating nodes) from Office Depot which works flawless. I would return if I could get my money back. Bad experience - don't recommend to anyone.

      Hi, WhskyHntr,

      Indeed, it would be inconvenient to reset the system every time, and that’s not how we expected the nodes to behave. If you still have them, we’d like to have our Escalation Engineers take a look at your network setup and help you investigate. Just send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with your contact information, and a link to this review as our reference.

    Man these things are cool and easy to set up. We have a bigger house so location was key when using a single or double unit. The three unit package was perfect for us and our 4,000 square foot home.
