    Disappointed that is Decreased my Internet Speed

    I had high hopes for this Wi-Fi system but the results were terrible. My internet speed is 400mbps and my upstairs computer would only get about 100mbps because of the distance from my original router. I thought that with the mesh system that my upstairs speed would go up. But, once set up my upstairs speed dropped to only 15mbps. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support and they had me try just about everything and they checked my computer remotely and tried different configurations for the Wi-Fi system. After all their work it got my upstairs speed from 15mbps up to 70mbps. Not exactly what I was looking for when my original router (from Spectrum) that was supposedly not very good could get me a faster speed compared to this product that advertised boosting your speed by putting one of the routers closer.

      Hi, Mark,

      The Linksys WHW0302 Velop Mesh WiFi System should not decrease your internet speed. But, allow us to let our Escalation Engineers assist you on your Velop system further, and we will investigate what happened to your support experience. You can share your case number at LinksysCares@linksys.com for us to review your case, and include the link to this review for our reference.

    Our old router was upstairs and we had a lot of buffering issues when we were streaming television shows. I’m very pleased with this new Velop mesh system, no more buffering.

      Hi Milt,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is possible that signal interference is the cause of the intermittent connection between Velop nodes. You can try to bring them closer to check if that improves the connection. Also, make sure that the firmware is up to date.

      Should you continue to have the same challenges, we can have our Escalation Engineers contact you for further troubleshooting.

      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.

      Regards,

    Great for a home environment

    The Linksys Velop is the second mesh WiFi that I have installed for clients and I would have to give the Velop an edge over the competing brand. The Velop setup software runs through and IOS or and Android device, which makes for a simple setup, but limits your control over manual settings, although this should not be a problem for most home users. Just remember there is no web based control panel for the router. The major Velop advantage is that the Velop modules can be daisy chained to increase coverage rather than radiating from a central hub, without a decrease in signal strength or speed. The IOS or Android installation app doubles as a decent system monitoring app, which helps in determining if your home mesh system is operating at full effectiveness. The documentation prompts you to remove your current router, but your can set the Velop behind your current router and allow it to act as a gateway. In my case the client needed their current router, as it was used to host a point to point VPN for their home office computer which was hard wired to the VPN router. The Velop system setup on a different subnet from their hard wired network, so no device on the Velop WiFi could see any device on the wired network, but internet access was not effected. Speed tests on the Velop WiFi system showed that the WiFi devices were taking full advantage of their 27 mbps DSL connectivity. The Velop system has a 2.4G and a 5G band and the third band is used to connect the modules, which enhances network performance. I cannot say that the Velop system is attractively priced, but it did supply full coverage for my client's 6000 square foot home.

    When I went to the store I was looking for another router, but an official directed me to buy this according to my house and need. When I started using I was surprised.
