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.

    This product could be a great product IF linksys would let you go in and change the settings on your own. Other than that this product works as intended 400/40 solid. The app could use a little work.

    I have spectrum. Disconnected their router and hooked up this one to their modem. Ran app set up account. Took a few minutes to set each one up on different levels of house but my entire house has excellent WiFi signal now.

    Speed performance is not its strength

    Honestly I'm quite confused with all those postings touting WiFi speeds similar to what's out the modem. I thoroughly tested the system and in no way this hardware is going to wirelessly deliver what it's promising. 1. Distance between nodes. Even when the db is between -45 and -55 for backhaul communication, I was able to get a consistent speed of around 50% to 60% of the total output. Because I did not believe what I saw, I contacted Linksys service. They could not figure out the problem, and that's because there is no problem, the system is just designed like that. 2. Mesh system as a glorified set of extenders: I made the mistake of reading lots of reviews rather than making my own technical research on network performance for mesh networks. Just because you have a software that automatically hands on a client from one node to another, that doesn't mean that you will get more download speeds than a regular extender. 3. Reliability: This mesh system is in no way more reliable than any affordable router. It all comes down to proper set up and maintenance. Back to point 2, if you feel you need to upgrade your router due to slow internet, chances are that you just need an extender or perhaps, reconfigure your router. 4. Speed, speed and speed: Streaming online in 4K requires about ~25Mbps. For most people, that's enough to carry on with their lives, which explains why so many are still happy with getting their internet speeds slashed in half by this system in lieu of reliability (read point 3 for reliability). Conclusion: I hate returning things to BestBuy as I love these guys, but unfortunately I cannot keep something that will not outperform a $99 extender. Pros: Nice looking device. Cons: Slashes internet speeds.

    I bought this at a local Best Buy store on recommendation of a sales associate because he commented the product offered superior speed over the eero mesh wifi device I had come into the store to purchase. It had to be shipped to my house because they did not have one in stock.. When I received the device showed that I needed to have an IOS or Android device and download an app to install. I don't own a mobile device with either. I then had the geek squad install install the network. The first time installed it didn't work right.. Works fine after a second visit from the geek squad. Be warned though that the device lacks enough Ethernet ports (only two on each node).

      Hi, MFPowell,

      Yes, setting up the Velop system is through the Linksys app using an iOS or Android devices as it automatically identifies the nodes to be set up and it provides animated setup guide explaining the entire setup process. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we'll share this with our Product Management Team.

      Should you need assistance with your Velop, don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-986-0518, or email us at [email protected], anytime. We have our Escalation Engineers always ready to serve you.

    Velop Tri-band was recommended by Best Buy associate, the set up was App based and not only walked me through the process, but did all the work. The system has greatly improved wifi speeds throughout the house, and is replacing an AirPort Extreme.

    I have a three unit Velop mesh in place but had some slower wifi speeds in certain areas. So I purchased this 2 pack and added members to my existing network. So easy to add and really helped with speed in my problem areas.

    I’m a little disappointed in this Wi-Fi device. They’re very expensive and when they’re working they’re OK but they dropped connection all the time.

      Hi, Justin,

      It could be that the Velop system is not fully optimized. If you’ve already tried updating the firmware and running the channel finder, please get in touch with us at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can check what caused the challenge. Don’t forget to include the LED status of the nodes, your contact information and a link to this review for easy reference.

    These were easy to set up, had them running in about 10 minutes. They are a little bigger than most other options, but are not an eyesore. One complaint I have would be that they don't have a USB connection for my backup hard drive.
