    I have purchased and returned several mesh networks and this one is the only one that gives me full speed and power all over my house. It was extremely easy to set up. I highly recommend it.

    Not as powerful as the orbi but not as ugly and large. If they are going to be out in the open I would suggest these but if you want the most powerful the orbi is stronger.

    Solved my home wireless coverage problems!

    Because of various addtions, renovations, etc, wireless coverage in our home has been spotty and difficult to keep up and running. We replaced a netgear wireless router with 3 repeaters/signal boosters with these three units. We now have much better coverage in the home, including areas which previously have had no signal. Not only has it has been very reliable, but speeds tests are much better than we expected. . We had some confusion with the initial setup as we failed to realize it would also act as dhcp service for our wired connections also, the end result being managing our home network even easier now.

    I finally have a wi-if signal everywhere I want it at our address. For too long, we struggled with no signal upstairs or in the backyard. Often we would have to reboot just to get the signal again. We had a traditional router and extender with limited results. Now it's quite a bit better, even our streaming. The only negative is you can only connect one additional Ethernet cable to each node. At the main, we would like to connect a personal cloud hard drive. However, we have the line coming in and our cable there, which is a must-have. I'll have to set it up with one of the additional nodes to see how it goes.

    We oringinally planned on getting an Orbi system but were strongly advised to get a google mesh system by one B.B. employee and then the Linksys Velop by another. After some deliberation we went with the linksys system and everything has been great. We have a 2200sq, single story, house, and the 2 node setup provides strong coverage over our entire house and outside in our yard. Our home office is on the other side of our house from where our cable comes in, so we placed the remote node in our office to hardline our equipment. The only downside to the linksys system is that each node only has 2 Ethernet jacks compared to 4 with Orbi.

    Good wi-fi extension

    This is a pretty good system and it does work to extend your home wi-fi signal well. However, I don't agree with their squarefootage estimates. I have a 2story house that's about 2500 sq ft with router downstairs in a corner and a 2 node system (1 required to be plugged into router) wasn't enough range to reach my movie room upstairs at opposite end of house. I recommend the 3 pack over the 2 pack if you are in a similar size dwelling. I actually now have 5 nodes and my wifi is equally strong (250+ mbps) all over the house. Its worth the big cost if you want the performance

    Good when it works

    Like the title says, when it works then it is good. The location of my modem is on one side of the house and can’t be moved. So the other side of the house which has a lot of walls between it creates quite a barrier for the signal to get through. So this allows the signal to be just as strong and consistent. Having the second node with ports out allows me to have other items centralized like my Arlo camera base as well. There’s some other security features on there that I don’t really use that some might find useful. Now for the cons... I found that my units were literally placed about 6 inches too far from each other. It used to drop the signal every few days and I would I have to reset the units. I have since then moved it from the back of table it was sitting on to the front and the dropping problem has seem to go away for the most part. It still has the occasional drop. Now when it drops it typically takes about 3 tries of unplugging and resetting the units before it finally comes together. Quite frustrating! Secondly, you would think the device trying to connect with the WiFi will choose the stronger node, but it seems the device will attempt to connect to the main node first. I have quite a few devices that are closer to the second node But still connect to the main node. This wouldn’t be a problem but sometimes it seems to then have a lower quality on videos, because the signal isn’t as strong. Would be nice to have an option for devices that don’t move to connect to be permanently on the closer node... You also can’t decide what frequency your device is going to use. With all that said if I hadn’t spent so much on this unit, I would probably look at getting a different brand.

      Hi Jpk08,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. There could be multiple factors that is causing the intermittent connection from the Velop system. Also, your devices should connect to the closes Velop node since this is the intended function of the mesh system.

      Allow us to have our Escalation Engineers look into the challenges that you are having so that they can provide a solution.

      Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

    WiFi is substantially faster and reaches all over our house. The fact that there are two different nodes greatly impacts the connectivity speed. Phone support very helpful and the Mobil app is great as it makes parental controls easy and enforceable- great and knowledgeable customer service

    With three of us working from home and sometimes participating in separate Zooms simultaneously were having a lot of problems with internet speed and what seemed to be outages. Our ISP was able to verify no problem with our line or modem. We switched to this mesh kit and it seemed to solve our problem permanently. We suspect our many HomeKit devices were also helping to overload the single router. These three units seem to divide the load nicely and our internet connection is now much faster and more dependable.
