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.

    Velop was easy to setup right from the box. Unpack the contents, plugin the equipment, download the app and follow instructions. Takes no more than 5 minutes.

    I have been having issues with my home wifi due to many wifi devices. Upgrading to this mesh wifi resolved all that.

    Really expanded the reliability of the wireless signal in our house. Would like to have more control over it and be able to use the special setting/functions of it when in bridge mode though. Have too many things that are also wired to have the wifi also setup for DHCP. Another feature that would be nice is if the units would talk to each other via the network and not wireless, or have to direct connect them together. Maybe that will change in future renditions.

    I purchased this product, after a lengthy discussion with a Best Buy associate, who answered all of my questions in great detail. However, I failed to ask if this system was equipped with USB connectivity. Unfortunately, this feature is missing. I consider this a swing and a miss by Linksys. For those of you (including myself) who use an external hard drive or other home network device which utilizes a USB connection, please take this in to consideration. I would have rated this product with 5 stars, otherwise.

    Great Product Expanded My WiFi System

    Bought to expand my WiFi system to Back and Front Yards. Makes it easy to use one's cell telephone while taking care of the yard. Help tremendously with my Rind Security System. The Linksys Velop System actually expands the reach of one's WiFi network up to 1500 hundred feet. Purchased for a great price, Although the product was at a lower price the following week could not get off work for an appointment to get the reduced price. Guess a small price to pay due to COVID-19.

    Great mesh wifi for a large house

    Our house is large with an attached hangar. It was impossible to get full coverage from a single wifi device, and having multiples made the transition less than seamless. Installed this instead, and it is wonderful. I can roam all over the house and hangar without any issues. The switch between access points is seamless. I added a 4th node to another hangar 200 feet from the house, connected with a wifi bridge. Now I can roam between the two hangars with no issues.

    40-50% degradation of download speed!!

    Before purchasing a 2 pack Velop, I have read so many wonderful reviews. When I received the package I excitedly opened the package and configured it. Install/configuration was quite simple and coverage area was as advertised. HOWEVER, when I ran speed test it consistently showed a 40-50% reduction or more in wifi download speed, even when I am right next to the primary node. My DSL download speed ranges from 90-100 Mbps but when I test wifi speed it ranges only 35-55 Mbps. For whatever reason the upload speed was just fine. By the time I am writing this I have talked with Linksys customer service at least 4 different times and have spent at least 2 hours on the phone as my case was being elevated to "higher level team". Unfortunately they have not been able to resolve the problem yet. The last representative acknowledged that "many customers" are experiencing the same problem and their engineer team is working fervently to resolve it. They are hoping for a resolution within days to weeks! More likely than not I will be returning this and get a different router altogether if it takes them more than a few days. It seems like Linksys has rushed to release this product prematurely without resolving all the kinks out. Now I feel like I am one of their beta data collectors.

    To get coverage throughout the house I had to use a repeater. Which would be in essence a different connection. So if on a skype call it would drop the call when I moved from one part of the house to the other. The Velop solved that problem. However it's ability to change to access via the node closest to the PC is mediocre. I have a node 5 ft away from my desktop PC and it won't access that one, instead accesses one 100 feet away.

      Hi, Doughboy,

      It's odd that your desktop PC which is 5 feet away from your Velop Node is having an accessibility problem. We'll take this chance to have one of our Escalation Engineers probe the possible cause of this issue and provide you a resolution. We'd be more than happy to hear from you soon at [email protected] with your contact information and the link to this post.

    In my view the system is an unbelievable improvement over my optimum smart wi-fi router & netgear extender. I have three Roku devices that went from a good connections to excellent ones with this linksys velop mesh wi-fi system, I even get a great connection outside my home. I am very pleased, and chose this system based on consumer reports it's the only one with security settings which is important, aswell as the same best price for black or white and only at bestbuy.
