    This wi-fi booster definitely helped make the signal stronger in our house. A back room/'man cave' TV was having trouble finding the signal, and now it does!

    The installation was simple and straight forward. The problem was it continued to lose a node and then restructure and would not work for TV. In a days time I could reboot a half dozen times a day and not know which node was off as all of them were blue. (Total of 6) After numerous tries and long waits I was able to get tech support from Linksys and figure out how to tell which node was off and how to "reboot". It worked but was a pain to continue to restart. I was going to pull the plug on ATT U-Verse but backed out because of inconsistency. Returning to Best Buy for different product. When it worked it was great, but not reliable!

    We have a 3200 square foot condo that is very long and narrow. The modem is at one end so even with boosters we could not get internet on the other end. Now we have the same strength everywhere. We love it!

    Great after you get it set up and running

    Let me start with this. I had to call Linksys tech support because there was issues setting up a child node after the parent node had been configured. On the matter of linksys support they were awesome about the whole thing. We went over what I had already tried and he put me on hold a couple of times to talk to an engineer. The whole process was great. One of the best customer support experiences I have had with a tech company in a long time. The issue. Initial setup albeit a little annoying because you can't use a computer and have to use their smartphone app was not too bad. If there were any complaints it would be that initial boot takes a little longer than it feels like it should. When you get the First node setup with all your network settings it then ask if you would like to add another node. The first node (the parent) works fine by itself at this point, and in a smaller apartment you won't need more than one of these as the signal strength is actually really good for such a small device with no external antennas. The problems for me started when I went to add a second node (the child node as they call it). I got through the first part of connecting the device fine but then it got to a point where it says "checking your nodes location" and the progress bar got about half way and just stopped. I had the same issue with the third node when trying to attach it. After about 2 hours on the phone with linksys we finally determined that I had to set up one of the two that was a child node as the parent node and go through the setup process again. After changing the parent everything connected without issue. As far as using the nodes these are actually really decent as far as connection and speed goes. I have not had any connection problems and you can use the child nodes as wired access points for hardware that you want to hardwire but can't get a wired connection to. So if you have a system that does not have wireless or you just want to use ethernet plop one of the child nodes near that device and plug into the node. Works without any extra setup at all. If I had any complaint at all it would be that for something at this price point it feels like it's missing some advanced features that would be useful such as VPN. But I understand that this product is meant to be easy and simple to use so I guess that's why those features are not included. Also the mobile app is not the most intuitive to use and as it is the only way you can manage/configure your VELOP system that is kind of a turn off as well. As far as the way the system looks and the space it takes up this is a very high point for me. I love the simple rectangular tower as its no bigger than a hefty book end and it takes up much less space than the standard desktop router I was using, which helped me get a good portion of my desk back. Unfortunately due to the size you are limited to 2 ethernet ports in the bottom of the units which if you have a lot of wired devices in one spot may be a drawback. But i happened to have a very small 5 port switch that i was able to use to alleviate those high cable count areas. Overall I had to dock the VELOP three node system a star for those reasons, a lack of some advanced features and limiting the way it can be managed to a mobile app are low points for me. Otherwise the system functions better than my single EA9500 from linksys which is a beast in its own right.
