    HATED!!! Bought because of reviews. & returned because of horrible performance! Spent 8 hours with customer service in the 3 days we used so we returned and bought EERo. EERO was so much better!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I deal with tech all the time and have always been frustrated with available routers and the difficulty in setting up. I decided to take a chance on Velop and wow - I was completely set up in what felt like 15 mins, but I'm sure it was likely 30 mins. So easy - especially adding towers to extend the signal. My kids went crazy because suddenly the entire house was red hot in wifi!! Wooohoooo!! Thank you Linksys!!

      Hi, Roversport,

      We're glad that the easy setup process worked as expected. As for the speed through the Velop System, adjusting a few settings could help optimize it. It looks like you've returned the device but should you need help or for inquiries about our products, do not hesitate to email us at [email protected].

    Ok, prior to this Linksys Velop Whole Home Wi-Fi system, we had the Linksys EA9500 and I didn't think any router could do any better. Well, the Linksys Velop whole home system is a best as it can get now. Very easy set up using the Linksys app on your smart phone. My system came with 3 towers. One for the living room, Master bedroom and guest bedroom. The first one connects to your modem/router and then each of the others connect wirelessly and plug into wall outlets. Takes about 10 minutes for each tower to connect using the Linksys app on your phone. I have 1 desktop, a gaming computer, 3 laptops, 2 tablets, 3 cellphones and 3 Rokus connected. The Rokus stream wonderfully with no buffering whatsoever. Laptops and desktop move from page to page without slagging or the dreadful wheel turning. You can also purchase and add additional towers if you have a very large home. I'm so happy that I have this Linksys Velop Whole Home Wi-Fi system! Highly recommend!

    It requires a smart phone which luckily my son has but I am still holding out. Once you open it the only instruction are to get the app and follow the instructions on your smart phone. It took about an hour to set up all 3 nodes. The first one had a glitch that required us to start over and re boot our cable modem. Once we did that it connected after a few minutes. You can plug 2 wired ethernet items into each node. I plugged the cable modem into the #1 node as required which only left one plug open. I plugged my Vonage unit and my Samsung TV into the #2 node. and my upstairs Samsung TV and Compute Stick into the #3 node. You can make 3 items a "PRIORITY" connection that gets the fastest speeds. We messed around with those and noticed a big difference between a priority connection and a non priority connection. With high priority i could connect to the Internet at about 50 MBPS and without priority it was about 20 to 25, So it did make a big difference. We are still messing with it and trying out different settings. I kind of expected the outside range to improve but it did not seem to increase the outside range at all, But the inside speeds are all ROCK SOLID CONNECTION and FAST! So take these all into consideration when spending this much on it. Hopefully there will be updates to the firmware in the future ti increase the outside range, Otherwise IT WORKS GREAT!!!

    Great wifi system, very easy to set up

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is by far the easiest router of wifi mesh system that I've ever had to set up! Just download the linksys app on my phone, opened it, and it walked me through the process with ease. The app configured all the IP addresses automatically as well as let me add 2 more Velop units with my initial one. The range of this system by far is the best feature. You can set up one Velop as your main unit next to your modem, and put up to 2 more units elsewhere in your house. I've had a terrible dead spot in my house prior to purchasing the Velop system but now I'm reading my full internet speed at the 5G band in the same spot while streaming Amazon video in 4K. The addition units really sold it for me bc i was able to set up one Velop on the top floor, one on the bottom floor, and one on the opposite side of the house where I stream tv in 4K. I've never had any problems with streaming since using this configuration and installing this system.

    So Far Excellent Purchase

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was an early adopter of home mesh systems with a GoFundMe buyer of a LUMA WiFI system. After using it for several years, and having probably every single one of my original units go bad, I decided to try a new system. After reading the reviews, I went with this product. So far, not disappointed with ease of setup and use. Speed and coverage are excellent, I have a 3 story home (including basement) and have situated nodes on each floor. No areas have loss of coverage as far as I can tell. I may purchase one more tower separately to see if I can add on to performance. I have a Gigabit outside fiber line and a combo of hardwire and many wifi devices. So far no hiccups. The APP is far richer in features than Luma and I've just started looking at it. Word of advice is to restart your modem before installing your first tower.

    WiFi Never Felt So Good!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Simply amazing WiFi performance from Velop! My home is old and large, but even a single Velop node has impressive range, let alone the whole home coverage I get with multiple nodes. The speed is actually faster than what I pay Comcast for too! My WiFi speeds are roughly 20mbps above my speed plan! Setup was very simple too, thanks to the easy to use app. Couldn't be more pleased so far.

      Hi, Eternity,

      Factors we need to consider of having issues with the connection is the firmware of the device not being up to date, and its placements. Please email us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post so we can have our Escalation Engineers to provide a further diagnosis.

      Best regards,

    Once the devices are set up and working, it's an OK product. The big disadvantage for me was the systems incompatibility with SIP (VOIP) phone systems. Still working on a fix.
