Customer Ratings & Reviews

I couldn't get as much range as I needed for streaming in the guest cottage so I upgraded to Linksys Velop tri-band and greatly improved the range versus Google mesh with 4" hockey pucks".

I never realized how fast my Wi-Fi could be until I ordered this product. It’s like a champion race horse. Great product, reliable product, and it looks great too.

Had issues with my wi-fi coverage in my home until I purchased this Linksys Velop Mesh wi-fi system! I'm very happy with this product, it has solved my problem.

If you are struggling with internet strength/speed at your home, I HIGHLY recommend this! This greatly alleviated my struggles and I have no complaints.

Great WiFi mesh from Linksys. But I still could find dead WiFi spots in my home no matter how arranged them. But, otherwise it’s well made.

Linksys Velop were recommended to me and I am glad I listen to that advice. Multiple streaming devices work flawless and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

This is a great product. Because I have an Iphone I had to call and get help setting it up. Yet they helped and made sure the product was working.

I have a 3 floor house and this is the only unit that can cover the entire area. I have 3 nodes, one on ground and one upstairs, and one outside. This setup covers my remote WiFi camera mounted 500 ft away.

These were so easy to setup and we have definitely noticed a better internet connection! It’s so easy to check the connection with your phone!

Didn't have enough ethernet ports in the back for all the smart home accessories, returned the product.

These are great for expanding your WiFi. I like the feature that it will manage itself if a node drops out. Awesome for use in a home or a business location.

In terms of coverage and speed, this is the best router I've ever used. In terms of customizing the routers settings, many of the typical settings are missing or not accessible with this router. However, if all you need is a router that will provide the best coverage and speed throughout your home, than picking up at least a pair of these will accomplish that task. Please note, before I go into further detail about the pros and cons of this router, it should be noted that I am using the 3-pack. One Velop router (tower) can be purchased and setup as a stand alone router, but the real strength of this system is achieved when two or more routers are used together. I'll explain later. But first, Here are some Pros: -Coverage/Distance -Tri-Band (one 5GHz frequency dedicated to the back-haul) -Wireless Speed/Data Transfer -Reliable (stable internet connection) -Simple and fast installation through App -Can be used as a bridge for network capable devices that can only connect through Ethernet cable -Aesthetically pleasing Here are some Cons: -No USB ports -Limited to basic router settings (port forwarding, guest access, mac address clone, mtu, MAC filtering) -Limited Parental Controls -Cannot customize local network beyond reserving an IP address -No VPN options -No DMZ options -cannot remotely reboot router -cost of each unit Again, if you do not have a need for diving into the detailed settings of your router for heavy customization, then this is the perfect router for establishing a strong, fast, and reliable network. So if coverage is an issue, a pack of two or three of these towers/units will provide you with excellent wireless internet throughout your home. Each unit can easily cover 1000 square feet. So if you have a large home, by strategically placing them evenly apart (every 1000 feet or so), you will get reliable coverage. If you constantly have dead spots in remote parts of your home, this system will address this. Returning back to my comment about setting up at least two of these units, here's an explanation as to why this system works best with more than one router. The Velop is a "mesh" network. It is a tri-band router that uses two 5 GHz networks/radios and one 2.4 GHz network/radio to connect your devices. The benefit of this system is that one of the 5 GHz radios is solely used to communicate between the small stand alone routers. This is called the "back-haul." While the other two radios are used to provide the wireless connections to your devices. Having a separate 5 GHz network (radio) dedicated for router to router communication allows for maximum data transfer speeds (throughput). It bypasses the limitation of a range extender, which potentially can reduce data transfer speeds by half. Overall, I'm really happy with this router. I would have given it 5 stars if more of the standard features were available to customize. Unlike every other router I've used, this router doesn't allow you to log into it's local IP address to view and change settings. If you attempt to go to the admin page (192.168.1.1), you're presented with a page that tells you to download the App to manage the router. Maybe, eventually, Linksys will make additional settings available within the App, but that remains to be seen. Aside from these limitations, the network this router creates is exceptional. Again, if you need to cover a large area/house, and want to get rid of dead spots or unreliable internet, this router will not disappoint.

The devices perform well and support wired backhaul, but network performance becomes sluggish after a week or so, requiring a restart of the Velop system.

this was a great option as part of replacement of my cable vendor's rented router/modem. It works really well in my large home and upload/download is great.

If you bought this recently from 11/19 and have not been impressed with the nodes dropping offline, it is only because they have updated the firmware to include a bunch of bloatware trying to sell you on their protection package...this is utterly unnecessary and has WRECKED a perfectly good product. You need to downgrade your firmware follwing the directions below. I took these directions from a person that posted them on the linksys community boards, followed the instructions and BAM it works perfectly! This would be a 5 star review when they fix their firmware... in the meantime, downgrade to the firmware called out below and TURN off automatic updates. Problem solved! PSA: 1.1.9.195026 is the last best stable firmware View in community Directions for manual firmware up/downgrade: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=274497 Linksys link to V1.1.9 https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/firmware/FW_WHW03_1.1.9.195026_prod.im... Linksys link to V2.1.9 https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/firmware/FW_WHW03_2.1.9.195026_prod.im... ---------- The only way for me to upgrade firmware to any later version is based on two factors: 1. They fix the 2.4GHz broadcast issue. AND 2. They allow end users to disable the useless Linksys Aware to stop the extra band from being broadcast.

do have some drop out and loses signal wish i could find a single unit in black to cover other side of 2nd floor. Setup and use of the app couldn't be easier

Works well. We don’t have the best internet coverage in our area. These have helped tremendously to make sure all over the house has a reliable signal.

My Condo is poured concrete with heavy rebar. The master bedroom is at the end of a corridor and my WiFi signal was nonexistent in my room until I installed the linksys system. Works wonders!!

We have a two story home that had poor wifi coverage in the upstairs bedrooms. I bought the Velop 2-pack which provided great coverage for our home. Setup was easy and only took about 15-20 minutes.

One of the three nodes won't connect with the other nodes, even when it is next to it...only had this for a month...would recommend otherwise...
