Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought the Netgear Orbi System based on other sites reviews. Tried to setup but the satellite routers would not stay connected. Turned that project over to my son who worked in Geek Squad and Computer departments at Best Buy. He couldn't get it to work, returned and bought the Linksys Velop. He had it setup and running in 30 minutes. All nodes on line and great WiFi coverage. Highly recommend!

I've owned eero's mesh as well as orbi's product. I've now switched to the Linksys Velop mesh system. Best of both worlds in that it is a true mesh product with either wired or ethernet backhaul for no loss between each node. I've not experienced any buffering to date with Netflix or Amazon streaming. The Linksys app is also more advanced than that of orbi's. Long live the new king of wi-fi mesh systems for the home.

I don't do reviews, but this is an exception. This mesh system is for inside a house. We live on a farm with many outbuildings. Nobody would believe this, but these three nodes cover large distances between three buildings. We stream movies and more with no problems. Highly recommend.

Bought this to try to fix the dead spots in the house. Very easy to set up and works great

I've been a long time network 'expert' trying to get full wifi coverage in my various homes over the years. I've run very expensive routers and wireless access points, of pretty much every vendor you could imagine. The Velop is the first time I've plugged something in and its just worked - don't be deceived those techies amongst you, less is sometimes more. At the moment there are a lot of restrictive features in the app (incl. the way it makes you setup with a phone/tablet and no web interface), but there is a back-end engineering/support interface that gives you more of what you would expect. I have ethernet cables in a lot of rooms and the Velop allows you to use that as a backhaul, effectively making this a mesh of access points that you can put wherever you want. None of the other mesh vendors currently allow this. I have to say though even as a power user I'm quite enjoying the low maintenance aspect of just plug it in, setup the basic networking info and let it go. Is it 100% perfect? No , not yet. There are some kinks in the management app, and the way some odd devices connect will always need some refinement (nothing new there) but in general I can walk from one end of the 3000sqft/2storey house to the other end, on a factime or VOIP call and it never drops once. I think despite all the rough edges on this , thats what I (and probably you reading this) will like the most. It finally solves the issue of whole home wifi coverage without needing expensive cabling to wifi ninja planning skills.

My house is not large but I always struggled to find a wifi router that covered both floors and my patio. This seems to be working great. Would be 5 stars if base price was lower. I got it on sale, plus BB had a promotion for 15% off if you recycle an old router. That was significant for this high end system. Without those discounts I would have gone another route(r).

Whole house wifi and expands Ethernet capabilities

I read lots of reviews did a lot of soul searching and finally decided to purchase the linksys-velop mesh wi-fi system and I have no regrets. It handles 3 computers 3 iPads 7 tvs 3 Playstations 1 Xbox 5 phones, 3 apple tvs and a Ring doorbell, Ring floodlight, and a Ring security system . I love it . Parental control, 4k streaming, Customer support excellent. Setup easy.

I love my three Velops! Very easy to setup and I noticed huge performance bump as well!

Using WIFI extenders to increase wifi speed in my house did not work. The signal strength was degraded the farther away from the router it went. After installing the Tri-band 3 pack Velop mesh system I have the same internet speed though out the entire house. I can now have 4K Smart TVs in any room I want and my laptop even works in the garage. I love this system.

Super easy to setup and has full house coverage. Even have back yard covered now.

This system is exactly what I need to extend the Wi-Fi. Could not of asked for a better product or customer service. Top notch all the way around. Thanks!

We have a large house 7,000 sf) and this gives good signal all over. Easy set up.

I had an reasonably new Linksys router which was placed on the second floor of my home. My entertainment system is on the 1st floor and had trouble getting a good signal. Even on the second floor, there were areas where the signal was bad. After contemplating 2 or 3 piece Velop system, I opted for 2. After the easy install, all my devices were getting a great signal, even outside my home.

Excellent wifi connection, beautiful, easy to install, faster, excellent signal

Easy initial set-up. Great coverage. No more problems with overloading our router.

3 year review: one node has quit working but other two are OK. Have to unplug every now and again to get the system to work again

Easy setup. Great speed. No more lag complaints from kids playing xbox ones.

I have cable modem with Wifi from big Philadelphia area provider augmented by an Asus router in WAP mode. In my 2 story house, had some issues with coverage and support for the 25-30 devices we have: iPhones, iPads, Sonos speakers, smart TVs, Wifi printers, laptops, thermostats, and adding more all the time. Initial setup went very smoothly, but Sonos didn't work (well documented issue) and wifi printer didn't work from wired devices. After quite a bit of online searching (and finding issues with both Sonos and wifi printers), I resolved the problems by putting it into bridge mode via the VERY OBSCURE "CA" setting on the bottom of the online web form. Between Linksys and Belkin (who now owns them) you'd think there was enough experience with the management UI and Use Cases for in home wifi management. It seems they have not really benefited from the lessons learnt with previous web & app deliveries. Overall, these appear to be providing better quality and access. Handoffs between nodes is smooth and non-disruptive. Bandwidth is consistent. And I'm getting more 5GHZ (i.e. faster) on devices that support it. From the technical perspective, fairly solid after initial integration hiccups. Management interface really needs some help.

Superior after purchase technical support 2 years+!
