Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System's ease of use, coverage, and setup, frequently citing its simple installation and strong signal. 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. A limited number of Ethernet ports was also a recurring point of feedback.

    Vast improvement in WiFi signal over my nighthawk router. I’m getting close to the 1000MB download speeds my IP advertises. Bonus is that it works with the stand alone circle device I have to manage my kid’s internet time etc.

    I bought another mesh product and after a week I took them back. Bought a high end competitor device was not happy. Third try wife said just buy it! In a 4884 sq at house this thing is absolutely the best! Easy to setup performance is outstanding.

    I had an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation before this, which was very reliable and worked well until I started adding more bandwidth hungry devices. With Velop, I'm now able to run a household full of desktops, laptops, iPads, iPhones, Apple TVs and security cameras without so much as a hiccup. Worth every penny!

    Works great, wish the main nod had 4 Ethernet ports. Had a high end router was a bit faster but did not have the range this one has. With the size house I have would not go with anything else. But technology is still improving can’t wait to see what they put out in a year or two.

    I used the Linksys Velop wireless router based upon a recommendation of the Best Buy salesperson. I had the Geek Squad set it up and it did a great job providing whole house wireless internet using 2 nodes, one on the first level and one on the second level.

    Great product over all and I get great wifi throughout my house where I have had issues in the past. Could use more advanced functionality though like being able to change my local IP subnet and some extra security features I like to implement. Other than that a month in and great product.

    I am using Verizon FIOS router but it is not strong enough in the house. I've tried other extenders but didn't work. This Velop is working great so far. Good product for Work at home situation with kids who are doing online class.

    Bought the Velop to increase coverage in our house. It was fairly easy to set up, and seems to have improved our needs for WIFI coverage. We use WIFI for our ROKU. Still freezes up once in a while, but this has not been a big issue. If you need extended coverage, check this out.

    We live in a large stone house, so getting wifi throughout the entire house was difficult. The mesh wifi network makes that much easier to get wifi throughout the entire house. Allows you to prioritize devices.

    after each power outage, the nodes may lose its linkage. Essentially has to reset each node like its a brand new setup, and it could take an hour to do it with the Linksys appt. When you have 4 nodes, its very tedious.

      Hi, Fatcat,

      Although you would lose the connection during a power outage, the Velop Nodes should regain its connection in a couple of minutes without doing a factory reset. If you will encounter the same issue in the future, reach out to us at [email protected] so we can have you assisted by one of our Escalation Engineers.


      Best regards,

      Jay

    Solved Our WiFi Problems

    The Velop two pack effectively extended our WiFi to areas of our house that we previously had either weak, or no, WiFi service. Performing speed tests now in these areas shows the same speed as the room in which the modem is located. We can now get WiFi in our detached garage and on our front porch.

    It took about an hour to set up. Once online, all the devices connected to the main node even when there was a node in the same room as the device. I attempted to use the “select the best channel” feature and it went on for about an hour Pick the channel. Then the whole thing crashes and I had to start all over again, including deleting the app and nstallmgvit again. You can’t select between 2.4 vs 5.0 for your devices, that prevented the smart hub (5ghz) from connecting to the smart bulbs (2.4gHi).

    There are no instructions except to download a app and could not do the installation unless you call a tech. Linksys should make it easier to connect as it took over a hour to get it running with the help of the tech. Otherwise it is working fine.

    easy to set up and the app on your phone lets you know if one of the nodes is not maintaining good connection with the modem we were even able to extend coverage into our garage where we have a space set up to have visitors during the pandemic

    Has definitely improved our wifi and remove the spottiness of it throughout the house. Have had some issues reaching into the basement and so had to add another node and more recently an extender. Linksys customer service is very good.

    setup was a little problematic. I think the issue wound up being the app. when trying to setup the 3rd node, i had difficulty. After being on a phone call with support for about an hour, everything is now working fine.
