Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does not work consistently. Falls off often and disconnects frequently. Support is non existent from company. Go with any other brand.

The design is pretty slick and the setup was very effortless. It uses the Linksys Smart Wifi app and connects to the routers via Bluetooth. I was able to get the network up and running in about 10 minutes. The modules stand out a bit and are fairly tall. These routers are a tri-band system and I'm able to effortlessly stream 4k content on my network to multiple devices with no hang ups. This system is a little overkill for my 2 bedroom apartment, but with all 3 setup I get strong signal everywhere which is wonderful. For 90% of people these routers will be perfect as they look good, are easy to setup, and offer a good number of options for the moderate power user. There are quite a few advanced routing features available for tweaking your network, but keep in mind that this system is designed to be very user friendly, so don't expect the fine grained control you find in something like the WRT series. Unfortunately, like most mesh network routers, there are no USB ports so you can't plug in your hard drive or flash drive to act as a shared network storage device. This isn't a huge deal, but something to factor into your decision if it's something you require. An Amazon Alexa skill will eventually enable the ability to turn on and off the guest network along with speaking your router's password. I wasn't able to test this, but assuming it works well it will be a very handy feature.

Has a hard time picking up signal thru walls. You have to be fairly close to it

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. Had this systems for about 18 months. Very expensive and very UNRELIABLE. It drops your Wi-Fi in the middle of everything... System is wired (means nodes are hardwired). All the sudden in the middle of the day, with no reason, Wi-Fi is down. Firmware is updated, etc. Nearly $450 wasted. I will go back to an old router.

Set up was easy but speed dropped from 900 mbs to like 8 with this router.... called my service provider and they sent a tech out...I have fiber 1gig speed. Turns out the Ethernet cord that came with the router was bad.

The audio from Netflix or prime breaks up but regular tv is fine

Overpriced for whatever improvement in wifi coverage

I ended up returning this router mesh system due to the fact I was getting very low speeds compared to my previous system. I tried to set it up in different ways to fix this problem, but I decided it was the product and not the software. I ended up going with the Google Wifi mesh instead.

This has you running Ethernet cables all over your house to these things. Do not like this at all. When it would not connect to internet the download referred me to a number in the Netherlands. No thank you.

Wasn't easy to connect. Need instructions not picture

I returned this item. The app set up is good the first time, but when the signal fails and the light turns red from blue, it's hard (impossible?) to retrace your setup. I wasted 8 hours altogether with this product. not strong enough to get through walls, floors, etc.

Reasonable performance, can't say I was blown away by the speed improvements - but likely down to my broadband provider., Set up was not easy at all. Old firmware and no automatic check for updates feature essentially meant i was on the phone with Linksys doing a manual update for 1.5 hours.

Routers have come a long way since I set up my first, geeky-looking unit years ago. However, the latest advances seem to be a quantum-leap. The Linksys Velop Whole Home WiFi System is a prime example. I got the 3-piece complete system. • The packaging is very attractive and well thought out and impressed me before I even began setting the system up. • Setup was the smoothest I have experienced: Get the App (iOS or Android), Unplug the old router, plug in a Velop unit and use the App to walk you through the 2 steps needed to get it online. What that involved was clicking the 'continue' button twice! Oh, and also indicating what room in the house that particular unit is in. • Once the first unit has been setup, you place your other units in appropriate places, plug them In and, once again, use the App for set up. For the additional units, the set up includes an evaluation of whether or not the location is optimal or not. After indicating the room they are each in, you're done. • A smooth, simple setup is great, but what about function? The Velop system promises to deliver optimum speed at each location and I found the speed constant and very fast. • The Linksys App is also a step up from previous versions. Very easy to work with, adjust settings, apply controls, prioritize devices, etc. • The Velop nodes also have a nice look for being set up where they can be seen. You wouldn't identify them as routers without prior knowledge. • The Velop system is not cheap, but it is solidly in line with comparable systems. It does not offer USB connectivity. However it does offer Bluetooth capabilities and will work with Amazon's Alexa. The only other consideration is that you must use the iOS or Android App to set the unit up. The bottom-line is that this is an excellent system that delivers on it's promises and represents the best of the new breed of wifi systems.

I asked him do you help me with choosing a product that going to give me Wi-Fi throughout my house and they chose this for me They told me it will be fine in the Wi-Fi would Work but it doesn’t work like they said it would

Helped with problem but not perfect for the amount of money spent

One works ok other is red all time no matter where I put it

Easy to set up using the ap. For some reason though it made my internet signal weaker. I didn’t call the help line but was very disappointed especially since the blue shirt guy said it was great and people loved it. Returned it the next day.

Seems ok but didn't work for my application. one of the points kept losing connection a least once a week. I gave it a chance for a month before I returned it and went with the much better, much more expensive Eero Pro 6.

Has improved the range of my WiFi signal as advertised.

Everything is done in the app, which at first seems super easy, and the first connection is easy. Then when you are trying to set up the nodes, its doesn't connect. There is no way to try and do it manually. At one point I had the 2 nodes physically touching and the app said that they could not locate the additional node to connect to the network. The help line is no help, as you just wait on hold for a very extended amount of time.
