Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up and great range. App easy to navigate. Would buy again, and may, to expand range to outdoor living space.

Needed to boost my internet connection evenly throughout the house. Streaming Apple Air Play from A/V receiver was impossible before installing this product. So far signal is strong and uniform through the entire house.

I needed a stronger Wi-Fi system capable of supplying a Wi-Fi throughout the house and able connect with smart devices.. That was my question to the Best Buy Sales Rep. The answer was a Mesh Wi-Fi. I chose Linksys Velop. A modern clean high tech design, it simply looks good. I can say the setup and management of the device is easy as 1,2,3 a very simple setup, and the speed and performance is outstanding.. In closing I am truly pleased with the product..

Working from home and needed a more reliable WiFi network. Bought a high speed modem and used this LinkSys mess. This mess system is unbelievable. With one node active I was able to deliver 200+ mb speeds to the majority of my house but when I added the second node and I am easily covering approximately 3+ acres of ground including the 4600 sq/ft of my house. I am simply amazed at the range of this system.

My wi-fi went out, so I bought this set. It was easy to get them set up, and they have improved the speed on my PC as well as on my iPhone. I placed one of these at my PC downstairs and the other at the other end of the house on the second floor. I now have faster and stronger wi-fi everywhere in the house. And, they look good too.

This is a fabulous mesh network solution. I actually bought these as an addition to the three that i bought originally. I now have 2 in one home and 3 in the other. With three in a two story 3100 sq ft home with 2500 sq ft of deck space and 5 acres...i can get access from almost anywhere on the property. Setup is super simple and easy. I've never had an issue with them. I can manage both networks from the app. It is just really a perfect solution for us.

Since I was interested in adding multiple wi-fi devices to my home network, I knew I would need a better home network. Previously had inconsistent connectivity and 'dead' spots in a few areas. This network not only eliminated the dead spots, it boosted the results on speed test. Now I feel comfortable adding as many smart home devices as I want. Reason for 4 out of 5 stars is because of the lag time in phone app and overall phone app needs improvement.

This system has fixed my issue of not being abke to get full coverage throughout my house. We have a 3,000+ sq ft home and is a great solution for coverage. My only issue has been that occassionally my xbox will lose connection. It's only for a moment (it's back by the time I'm able to check the connection), but it's enough to make me drop out of whatever I'm playing. Pretty annoying and why I'm only giving it 4 stars. Overall happy with the system though.

This was the second one I purchased for another location. Purchased the white satellites before and setup took hours for all the updates to complete. This version had the updates so setup was a lot less. Overall product has good range and speed for my use. Placement of satellites can be tricky but the app will help assist you. Wish it would also let you know how each node signal strength is and speed.

Short and sweet these are amazing. I replaced my Apple AirPort Extreme with these. Setup with the app took about 5 minutes per node. Speed with AirPort Extreme was 100mbps. With the velop it’s 175mbps. My ring cameras were barely connecting with AirPort Extreme but with velop they have twice the connection strength. Range is excellent, speed stays fast for nearly twice the distance of the AirPort Extreme. I will review again in a few months with an update.

I may have had a defective 9500EA but the customer service at Netgear is atrocious! Thank goodness I purchased at Best Buy as they were the ones who made a bad situation much easier to deal with. I have installed in a 2300 sf ranch-style single story house. The 9500EA (supposed to be one of the best) yet signal could not even make it to the kitchen which is not even 50 feet. I put 3 pods in and now I can get more reliable coverage. Construction of house is from the 70's and nothing special, not even 2x6 walls! The Velop allows signal much further. Surprisingly I now get signal about 160' away (through 1 wall/window) to the barn. I will say my DSL is not great (1.5mps) and I run 3 cameras 24/7 with full recording to HD and now I can get access 80% of the time from off site. 9500ea only gave about a 40% access from off site. On site is better so I think this is more the lack of DSL bandwidth (no options as I am in rural area). Did take time to set up and needed much patience as it took about 4 times for first additional pod and the 3rd pod, with over 2 hours separating times trying, finally ended up with pod within 10' of base pod to get it connected after about 5 tries. Cat watched 'periscope' when it was 'looking' for other pod but after the 3rd try... she gave up/lost interest. Takes patience as set up does take time. Downgraded stars for set up time and the close distance pods need to be to function with blue light all the time. If I could, I would wire these together but a 70's house is not wired like that ;) At least I can now use the internet in all seating locations in living room, not just in one chair.

I purchased this system along with an ac2200 mesh router to replace all of my existing Wi-Fi equipment in hopes of better performance and seamless use throughout my home. I was not disappointed. Excellent coverage on all 3 floors (one node on each). Noticeably improved down speed also. The only problem is that it was pretty expensive. Would recommend for any multi level dwelling.

I had a Netgear Nighthawk router with the range extender and it did a really good job but I was excited to go to a mesh router because I thought there would be no way of having any issues. For the most part it seems to be good but it claims to cover 6,000 sq. ft. but the third node will go from the blue color to the amber color meaning I don’t have great signal even though I only have an 1800 sq. ft. one floor home. Also, it doesn’t seem like the system switched your phone to the best node when walking around the house so at times my WiFi bars won’t even be full with 3 nodes in a home the size I previously explained. Also, the dashboard on the app doesn’t seem to be quite accurate, it will show that a device has one to no bars of WiFi signal even though you can check on the very device and it will show excellent signal. I wouldn’t pay $399, but for the sale price of $199 that I got it for I guess was worth it overall. None of the mesh systems seem to get fantastic reviews across the board.

Set these up in my in-laws place so that they could setup some ring cameras outside their house. Their place is about 2,000 square feet and these are providing great coverage. The cameras are WiFi and the video feed has been great. The phone and web apps are easy to use and you can monitor the network from anywhere. They were very easy to set up.

This does what it says it will do. I have stronger signals in every nook and cranny of my house, and I get consistently high Mbps numbers. At night late it's even over my published speed. Get one - but be warned the setup is a bit involved if you have a router/modem combo that you rent from comcast or one of the others. Doable and fine, just a few more steps. Great if you have cameras and roku and tablets and chromebooks and macs and pcs and gaming for sure.

Great unit with the ultimate controls via an app... Easy setup and use... I would recomend to anyone... I have a friend with a system with 2 nodes and has had no issues with moving from one node to the other.

Setup was a breeze, performance exceeds expectations. No dead spots, excellent speeds. Although pricey, highly recommend.

This product is totally awesome. It eliminated all my blind spots and even increased speed compared to my prior router. It is very easy to install. Just a recommendation to Linksys: you guys should put more effort in your App. It works perfectly well for installation; but then it is not accurate. It shows devices that you did not allow in your net; or devices showed as "connected" that are battery turned off or not even in the house. The App is definitely unreliable except for the installation.

I'll admit going into this I honestly thought these towers were just another piece of junk that I was going to bring back because it wouldn't work... Boy was I wrong... Took me a couple of minutes to set everything up and suddenly I started using speedtest on my phones and other devices... And I couldn't believe it. We couldn't even get any reception in our devices in the family room.. now it's running totally consistent 117... Parapapapa I'm lovin it

The coverage and the iPhone app is awesome. Great product to consider.
