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.

Not Good For Advanced Users
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mesh setup might work for the average person, but it's not for me. From my experience with the system, it seems that instead of a higher power single wifi router, you get multiple lower power nodes to spread out and try to increase coverage. I have a 3 level house and placed nodes on each floor, but I experienced less range than my original setup with a single wireless router on the third floor along with an additional access point on the first floor. Also, I noticed that I was only getting about 1/2 to 2/3 of the speed of my internet connection and also increased ping times even though each and every node was hardwired. I did test connecting my computer via ethernet directly to the modem to find the full speed of my internet connection. The system also has limitations with more advanced features that are standard on other routers. For example you cannot change the class of ther internal ip address range. You're stuck with class C 192.x.x.x. I ended up returning it and went back to my original setup with one wifi router plus an additional access point.

Not Needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am giving this an average rating because it did not work for me, the the person who did the home survey said I needed the, however it conflicted with my Xfinity modem, because there was 2 security systems running and two firewalls there was always IP address loss. My furthest camera is only 30' from the modem so it works fine. I'm sure the Velop would work just not for me.

Great wifi coverage

Posted .Hi Juani18,
For the client to roam seamlessly, the device must support 802.11k and 802.11v. If the devices do support both 802.11k and 802.11v, you can try turning off node steering to isolate the issue. Also, make sure that the firmware of the Velop system is updated.
If the devices still connect to the farthest node and you've determined they support the standard, send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our quick reference.

Mesh
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to eliminate gaps my regular router couldn’t solve for. It works great and is easy to install. If you do online gaming make sure you switch it to bridge mode and it will work perfect.

Great product- needed help setting it up.

Am 71 female, followed directions but ended up call Velop and on phone with a level one tech, then a level two tech for about 4 hours. They finally got it set up and it works just fine now.

Worked for a year then not reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The velop system worked great for one year. Now I have issues with it every few days. I’ve called Linksys 9 times in the past 2 months for the same issue and they still won’t replace the unit. Easy to setup, I was very happy with it before I started having issues.

Not sure that these work?
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had our son set up as we are seniors and wouldn’t have a clue how to do it. We were recommended to purchase these by an associate, however I don’t believe we needed such an expensive system. As a matter of fact, we could have gotten the same results from a less expensive system! Is it working????? Don’t see any difference. Buy something less expensive, will probably work better.

Great WiFi extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We live in a somewhat remote area and don’t always get the best service. This system gives us great connections all throughout the house now. They are small and can’t sit on a windowsill or anyplace small and out of sight. Great product

Frustrating set up!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All packaged nice, seemed easy to get ready but it was hard for me to get set up. I read online people struggling to sync the nodes, I was definitely one of those people spent 4 hours trying to connect ( even put mode in the same room as the hard wired node and couldn’t get to work!!! Not sure what happened but the next day they where both working. So after all the hassle still not sure what the problem was.

Posted .Hi Akaviv,
It should be easy adding a node to your existing Velop system. Just make sure that you turn on the Bluetooth and, the light has turned purple to indicate it is ready for setup.
