Customer Ratings & Reviews

DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I bought this in June 2021 and it never worked well. Setup is tedious and hit-or-miss. I eventually had to run ethernet cables to physically wire these up to the router just to get wifi in a single room. To top everything off, last week one of the devices just stopped working completely. I tried resetting it, turning it off for an hour, nothing helped.

supposed to be, what i thought, a wifi extender...but it doesnt work as well...maybe i should "read" the manual? at this point isnt performing like i thought....

If I could give this negative 30 stars I would. Long story short bought it hooked up parent node no issue. I tried for 2 hours to hook up the other nodes nothing but problems. Called tech support no help. Supposedly firmware was different on each node??? Why?! Because junk thats why. Returned asap and got google wifi. 15 mins tops it was hooked up. You pay for what you get. Don't buy this. But hey you may get lucky and it'll work perfect... I didn't

Was able to get 1 router up and running then spent an hour and a half trying to connect the other two to the mesh system and was never able to do it. No matter how close my phone was to the router tying to connect or how close I put the other two routers to the main one it would never connect. Also the wifi from the main router barely worked. I'd recommend an eero router with a couple eero beacons, works much better for me at least.

Two week return policy. Nodes seem to loose connections periodically requiring reboot. Expensive product to still have to deal with connection issues.

It is a total waste of money. I bought this two years ago and had many problems with it. I had to restart them so many times. Now this will not work at all. The power went out yesterday, and now I can not connect any of them to the internet. I can not factory reset them. Customer support is worthless. I wasted $200 please stay away from this piece of garbage.

Took some time to hook up, coverage did not improve, To expensive for performance

The Linksys Velop Dual-Band Mesh system was literally the easiest setup of any device I've ever used. This was setup on a new internet install and was the first Wifi system installed. Setup from opening the box to online was less than 10 minutes. The system is packaged well and includes the 3 nodes, power cables, an ethernet cable and an install guide. Follow the setup guide, download the iOS app and walk through the steps. Basically you need to set up the first node and then add additional nodes within the app. I installed 2 nodes and it provides complete and solid coverage for our 2,000 sqft. condo. The app is also a great addition to the system, with many features to manage your internet connection, users, nodes, etc. I manage two different systems with the app and love it. Pros: - The Velop nodes are esthetically pleasing vs. the usual drone looking routers with antennas pointing in all directions. - Setup is a snap - Ease of use of iOS app for setup and maintenance - Blazing fast speeds and covers my 2,000 sqft condo with full bars Cons: - Can only be set up on Android or iOS phone – shouldn’t really be an issue for anyone at this point! - I have a handful of wired devices and needed to buy a switch to support them with the Velop system as there are only 2 ethernet ports on the nodes. - Large head on the power cord, doesn't not play well with my surge protector. The Velop System is the real deal, I would recommend to anyone looking to update their home wifi setup. This is the “basic’ dual-band model, but the speed and performance has been great since install. No issues with dropped signal, very pleased with the overall experience at this price point.

Router worked great for gaming systems but all our phones kept dropping Wi-Fi and reconnecting. It was a huge pain. Returned and picked up the orbi router...works flawlessly.

It did little to improve my in home network, so I returned it. Worked with Verizon who installed another router slaved to first router on other side of house, problem solved.

This mesh router set up is all new to me right. The concept is great the fact that you have individual routers and not repeaters is great. Each node even comes with Ethernet ports which is perfect for gaming in my situation. Set up really is easy as most routers are. No issues there. Design is simple but nice. New age I call it. Only issue (minor) is this model is great but just a little bit slower than my new model modem with built in WiFi. This has very smooth internet and works well. But the Speedtest showed slightly lower numbers so that gets me mentally. Although Linksys does have higher rated models and I’m sure those are even better. This is for basic internet. Even states this on the box. So fair enough. I think this version will suit the majority looking to upgrade. My internet speeds are very very high tho. So thats the reason for 4 stars. Great product overall. No issues tho with drops or connectivity. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Software engineer with plenty of tech experience here - and this product was a nightmare. Constantly had to reboot - takes forever to restart - phones connect to Wifi, but the internet is completely unusable - management UI is pretty awful. After months of trying - had to give up and go with another solution. Too bad, I have a small house - this mesh router should have been great. Alas, it doesn't deliver at all.

Didn’t work that much better then router. Exchanged for a Eero mesh network. That works great with no issues and quick WiFi speeds. I recommend buying that instead.

I bought Linksys - Velop AC1300 (3pack) two years ago. A couple of months ago it developed a problem. It can take a minute for a new page to load. Devices drop the connection. An internet search shows many people have this problem. It seems that the new firmware is unreliable and it is not possible to download the old reliable firmware 1.1.9.195026 any more. After wasting many hours I must now buy a new router.

Only fair transmission. Incoming signal was 100 MBS, but only got 20 MBS 40 feet from the router node. Quickly replaced.

Wouldn't really waste much time with this system. First off, setting these up are a pain. You pretty much have to set these within 10ft of each other or they won't connect. Second, the app tells me that my wifi is not connected, so then I cannot access the router settings and all but yet, I'm on the same wifi. Save yourself the hassle and headache and just spend the money on a powerful gaming router instead

Horrible product for the price. Having to plug up each one to a modem wasn’t what we wanted.

Was easy to set up but crap out after only 4 days had to return it.

What's in the box ----------------- Ethernet cable (3 pcs) Linksys Velop Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3 Pack) Owner's manual Power adapter (3 pcs) Printed documentation Pros ---- 1. Price, I think its a good value for a dual-band mesh router 2. Coverage - 3000 sqft (my house) with ease and excellent speed, no dead spots 3. Setup - Using the velop app, it was as easy as plug n play 4. Build Quality - Good, will easily take on a few drops 5. Automatic software updates Cons ---- 1. No USB Port , Cant use as a poor man's NAS 2. only 2x WAN/LAN auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports 3. Color - Why not Black? Review ------ I will be replacing my T-Mobile Hotspot Router which is nothing but a ASUS Dual Band Router (Asus RT-AC68U), so my review will be comparing a mesh router vs. my current ASUS router. I have a 3000 sqft home and i know where my dead spots are. My modem and router are in the living room and with my current router, i do not get a good reception in my kid's bedroom which is at the other end of the house. So I decided to upgrade to this router and could not be happier. For a 3000 sqft house, i get uniform signals across all the corners of the house with the Linksys Velop Mesh 3-piece router. Setup - The Setup is a Breeze, you connect it to the modem and follow the steps on the velop app which can be downloaded from the apple store or play store. For folks who wants the old school type of setup instructions, there is a printed instruction document in the package as well. I prefer the app and it is very straight forward as you connect one unit at a time. Test - I have 2 Fire TVs, 3 phones, 3 tablets, 1 Blink camera system, 1-Samsung smartthings hub, 1 desk and 2 laptops. Not all of them are running all the time, the camera system and smartthings are running all the time, others keep coming and going. With that said, i started the test with 2 velop placing one next to the modem in the living room and one at the far end at my kids room. With 100/100 Mbps line that i have with optimum, i was consistently clocking at 80-100 Mbps all corners of my home which i tested using the inbuilt speed check app. I also cross checked with the speedtest app you can find on the app store, came in the same range. With an additional router added on in my wife's office in the 1st level, i can get consistently 100Mbps speed in all the rooms. I liked the guest access feature since i do not get good cellphone reception at home, our guests are constantly asking for WiFi password, i can easily set this up using the velop app. There are parental controls which can be setup using the app as well. This is a great feature if you want to ration the internet for your kids, setup online time on a schedule and block it during certain hours. You can block some sites or completely block certain devices (app shows you the devices) from internet access. Automatic software update is the feature i liked the most. i do not have to worry about security patches and manually install them! I recommend this product!!

The setup was very easy, and the coverage throughout my home is very good and the speed is still there. The only two issues I have is that I am having issues making wifi calls on my cellphone. Also, this is a little pricey, there are cheaper options out there.
