Many also praise the system's range and performance, reporting consistently reliable connectivity. However, some users experienced connection issues and noted the relatively high price.

    Covered many of the dead areas in my home, but not all of them. We still struggle to get service in the bonus room.

      Hi, Sp28,

      We recommend using the spot finder technology as the placement of each node is one of the critical factors in order to maximize the throughput and improve the range and signal strength of the Velop system. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can lend you a hand. Include your contact information and a link to this review as our reference when you reach out.

      Regards,

      Rosalyn

    I got these on sale and they are awesome. I in particular like the ethernet ports on each one for those of us that like a hardwire connection (semi-hardwire connection in this case but it's still great). I do a lot of gaming and these work great. My only complaint is that they are not Wi-Fi 6 so they may need to be replaced in the semi-near future for those of us who really enjoy technology and the best internet experience you can get.

    I had 13 devices pulling on my Wifi with many interruptions and disconnects WiFi speed with a wired connection were ranging 200 -230 MB’s but WiFi were lucky to get to 23 MB’s with disconnects. After installing the whole house system with 3 nodes WiFi speeds are at 180 - 230 MB’s depending on activity levels. System is easy to install the only con is it is expensive but performance exceeds my expectation. Also range covers my entire half acre of property as well as the 4000 sq house. It’s been working about 6 weeks with no issues.

    expensive, but very good mesh router system

    a relatively new concept in the consumer space, mesh networking is definitely not cheap, but it is very effective if you need wifi coverage for a large space and a typical router doesn't quite work. there are cheaper alternatives to the velop system (which i admittedly have no experience with) but i can certainly recommend it without reservation, albeit at a fairly significant price point. pros: design - elegant design, certainly no issues placing in full view, unlike many standard routers. setup - only available via mobile app, the setup is quite easy and intuitive. adding additional nodes was also painless, all added to the same network system (same SSID name). incidentally, though there are both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, there is only one SSID. the system itself steers the device to the proper channel. stability - rock solid in my testing, zero outages or disconnects. speed - using my iphone 6, i saw a consistent 150-200 Mbps all over my 2 story home (my macbook pro saw around 500 - 600Mbps when relatively close to a node, but never less than 200Mbps even at the furthest point). as a comparison, using the EA9500 i had significantly lower speeds in quite a few areas, as well as quite a few dead spots. the velop system fixes both issues. seamless handoff - i've tried other 802.11r 'fast roaming' systems, without much success. mesh networking seems to work much better, no issues moving around the coverage area and staying connected to the fastest / strongest signal. configurable (secured) guest network - this has been missing on some of the linksys lineup. nice to see it back here. cons: only 2 ethernet ports - auto sensing, which is nice, but 2 physical ports may not be enough for some. missing some advanced settings - access to some of the more advanced configuration settings seems to be missing, but may or may not be an issue. for example, i haven't found how to set a static IP, but i was able to reserve an IP address, effectively accomplishing the same thing. port forwarding was also not an issue. in other words, if you're looking for something like DD-WRT, this is not the router for you. if typical configuration is enough, it shouldn't be a problem. miscellaneous: only configurable via mobile app - not exactly sure of the reason, but there is no browser configuration available. that being said, mobile setup was quite easy and intuitive, and the network admin features were fine as well. overall: while certainly expensive, my experience thus far has been very positive. i've got full coverage in every part of my 2 story home, which is definitely a first for me, without having to manage my own access points and multiple networks (1 story homes may not need the 3rd node, 2 is probably plenty). if the price is not an issue, i can absolutely recommend the velop.
