Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to setup using your iPhone (cannot speak to android). Worked well right from beginning. The issue I saw was when moving from one location in the home to another ...where you'd assume that your device would be passed from one mesh router to another. What I saw is that some of my devices would do that... move from one router to the closest to you...but others would stay attached/connected to the furthest router with the weakest signal (which made no sense). I called link sys and spent a lot of time with tech support (bumped up to level 2/3 not the general first line tech support who just want you to go through the install process again). What I learned is that I'm not alone in seeing this (and to be honest I don't see it all the time and not with every device...) - it's a known issue which they are working on software to correct. Supposedly there is a release coming soon which should fix it.... but it's not out yet... thus I take one star away. other than this issue, I've seen better bandwidth than having a router/extender setup which this replaced. Overall I'm happy with this but for the price, this issue I raised above should not be there. The other minor issue is that the app you use to monitor which station which device is attached doesn't show all the devices which are connected... which is bad from a security perspective and clearly a software issue... hopefully also fixed with an upcoming release. I did contemplate giving 3 or lower stars due to the price and fact that such a pricey system should not have such issues... but generally this is working better than the system it replaced.

A very quick and easy setup. I wanted to add wifi to an outside building that is 150 feet from the main building. I programmed the units and made sure they were all on line. Unplugged one of the satellite units and moved it to the remote building and it just started up and immediately started working. It works so well, I am able to stream video with on issues. The system also eliminated the delay issues the son was having with playing his first person games. I have been extremely happy with this product.

I have quite a few smart devices and system hubs running on my network and some of the items we’re running slow or not at all. I decided the router might be slowing thing down so I decided to buy the Linksys Velop system and I am certainly glad I did. It was easy to set up via the app which is great and my Internet (cox) speed increased by a factor of 5!. I now get great coverage throughout the house which was not the case before. If you need a new router try this system out, I think you will like it.

The Linksys was easy to set up, boosted my signal, even covers my patio area. The price was competitive, but the brand cannot be beat.

My particular home has a strange setup where my home office/router is at one end of the building, and I have to envelop the entire home with Wi-Fi, plus my home is well-insulated with thick walls. I previously used an ASUS AC1900 which when installed in my office, it could almost reach the other end of the home on the 5G band (it would cut off in the back bedroom). I first tried a Cisco WAP371 which dropped the 5G band the moment I'd leave my office (since my router was a Cisco RV345). I next tried the Linksys Velop. When it functioned, it did blanket my home with solid Wi-Fi with decent speeds. However, due to the thickness of the walls between my office and other parts of the home, the satellite node continued to knock offline and could not hold a connection to the primary node, even though the app stated it was in an optimum location. I ended up replacing both my router and Wi-Fi through my local ISP who installed one of their cloud-managed Cambium routers and installed a Wireless Access Point in my ceiling hard-wired back to the router. After running walkthrough tests, it was the only way to get solid Wi-Fi throughout my entire home on the 5G band, and even then the signal slightly decreases at the back bedroom. For homes with less-insulated walls, the Linksys Velop may work well for you and provide solid coverage at decent speeds, but I live in a particular setup where the only Wi-Fi gear that will cover me is enterprise-grade equipment centrally installed and hard-wired to the router.

Overall very good product, nodes need to be closer together than I would like meaning that I needed more nodes to cover my house. Connectivity is very fast. App is functional but a bit awkward at times. Price is high, but worth it.

I purchased this additional Velop Tower to add to the three (3) pack I had already purchased. Having the four (4) units in my 5,000 SF home gives me complete coverage throughout the house. Best system on the market. A little pricey, but well worth it.

This thing works wonders i have perfect signal through my whole house even in the basement!

This is easily the fastest and easiest to install router I have ever purchased. Through the years I have always had issues with not getting the internet speed I pay for. Not with the Velop. Hands down it is the easiest router to set up and it gets me the 300+mbps I pay for. I put one node in the family room, one in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom. This is basically one node at each end of the house and one in the middle. Highly recommend it. You get what you pay for.

Have used this for over 2 years now and it still works great!

Very simple to install (they install themselves via your smartphone) and very effective. They have been flawless since installed. Admittedly, I have three in a 2,400 sq ft three floor condo (which is coverage overkill) it is far more effective and much simpler than the Linksys EA9500 it replaced. It’s a three band setup but I love the fact that you don’t have to assign 2.4, 5, or 5(2) ghz to devices. It figures it all out by itself, silently assigning the correct band to each device and one SSID is all you need to deal with. And no need for extenders!

Awesome… had problems with our wifi in the house and getting signal anywhere further than just downstairs where the router is and this solved all those issues. I have had one period where the node just sent-synced but I easily just reset it through the Lynksys app. Wish I made this move earlier. Super easy setup. I am a caveman when it comes to electronics and the app makes it so easy.

I was originally struggling to purchase this item due to the cost. My problem was all the different Wi-Fi routers weren’t covering my 3200 sq ft house effectively even with extenders. The setup was simple and it took 15 min to setup, and I was on the phone the same time with my ISP to make sure it went well. So far with my 14 different devices - 4KTVs, PS4, computers, tablets, phones, streaming devices, there have been no lags or spinny wheels of doom! To me, this is worth the cost.

First impressions are great. 1 week in and the family is all loving the Velop Mesh Network. Coverage and stability has provided a much improved wi-fi environment. Installation was easy too.

After doing research on a new wifi system for a couple weeks I settled on the Linksys Velop mesh system. I have had it installed for about a month now and could not be happier with it so far. I have one node located on each floor of my 2500 sq. ft. home, 3 total. Way more than I actually needed but I wanted to try to extend over as much of my 1.5 acre property as I could, so I can have wifi access while I am doing outside chores. Holy cow this thing is awesome!! It covers over an acre no problem. If I had a way to get the nodes a little further spread out I think I could cover even more. Setup was a breeze with the app. Took about 20-30 minutes to get everything up and running. Can have so many devices linked and prioritized and devices seemlessly transition from one node to the next without dropping coverage or slowing down. Great product!!

In general I am pleased with the performance of this product. It was easy to set up, and the app is useful. I do have to reset nodes occasionally. In one instance, a firmware update did not install properly. This was pretty annoying since I could not figure out what was wrong. But tech support was awesome, identified the issue and walked me through the fix.

I had to replace my previous router and this ended up being a great upgrade. Having the two nodes has increased the coverage for strong signal throughout the home. It was also very easy to set up through the phone app. The real test for me will be durability as my last D-link router only lasted 6 months. Interesting feature is the ability to prioritize multiple devices, so I'm presumably going to be able to get streaming video from my AppleTV without any lag and other devices will suffer instead.

The Netgear Mesh was installed in 4,200 sq ft home in early June. There are 4 TV's, a server and 2 phones and two laptops that are connected at any one time on the device. The Netgrear dropped internet signal consistently. Got tired of this and bought the Linksys. Easy to install, easy to access menu's. Coverage is excellent and so far has not dropped the signal.

The Velop is AWESOME! I tried another brand of mesh network and it was a pain to set up. This was easy, fast and works flawlessly with my ATT gateway. I've seen a spike in my speed up to 350s from the opposite side of my house. Awesome product.

Great reliable WiFi that is easy to install, maintain and monitor. The two components are small and pleasing to the eye, which means that they do not stand out like a sore thumb. Lastly you can control access with your phone on the mobile app.
