NOT dual wan, bad app, painful configuration

Unfortunately, I have a lot of complaints:
- it turns out that this is NOT a true dual wan router, like it said. Each node can be hooked up to a separate network, but you still have two networks. These don't combine them into one. I just got off with their tech support. Grrrr.
- The app leaves a lot to be desired. Two Examples
(1) it keeps all your previous networks on there, and tech-support confirmed it won't let you delete them. They supposed to eventually disappear.
(2) They didn't even bother to implement dynamic text sizing for iOS, which means that if you use it on an iPad, the text is really difficult to read.
- Configuration is a nightmare. I have a degree in computer science and spent an entire night at it. I can't count the number of times I had to factory reset it. Still doesn't work!
I want it for the HomeKit enhanced security, but may end up returning it.

I'm very pleased with the Linksys Velop system. So much so, I've added 2 more nodes and 2 extenders. All work very well. Easy setup via the Linksys app.
I do wish Linksys would allow you to designate which node a particular item connected with, instead of randomly assigning a node that changes from time to time. Several Velop owners have requested this, but Linksys hasn't acted on it yet, but I'm hopeful.

These are fantastic and really over performed my expectations. We struggled with our WiFi in our home and there were numerous dead spots and slow connections. Once we installed these we had WiFi over our entire acre of land stretching to the furthest corners with fast reliable WiFi. They were extremely easy to setup with a very intuitive app to assist you. I would recommend these to anyone!

Love these guys. They are a little big but they do the job well. I had so many issues with the signal in my home, and these things cleared it right up. With 2 kids on it all day for school, me working from home, 4 smart tvs, kids game consoles, we have never had slow down issues. These are the ones to buy. Set up was simple, the app is easy to use, these are the go to for sure.

I bought 1 set of these and spent 4 hours setting it up due to a firmware problem. Linksys tech was helpful but spent 1.5 hours on hold. I ended up returning that package and tried another few routers but went back to a new box of 3 Velops. 2nd set was awesome. Very quick setup and fast speeds. The app is slow and advanced settings requires the Web ui. I wish it ran. Efficiency test like eero every night would be nice. But this system can only get better

An instant improvement in coverage over my prior high-end router. Only complaint is that there are only 2 Ethernet ports.

It does the job, but...

I live on two floors of an older home, which has two fireplaces and plenty of walls, plaster, furniture etc.
In found that a simple router struggles. I tried a Wi-Fi extender, a good one, but still had dead, or weak spots, and drop-offs.
Hence, a mesh network. I looked at them all and decided that a tri-band, as opposed to a dual-band was necessary. It was and is.
I bought the two tower set, but found that it was not enough, so I purchased a third Velop independently. It worked, giving me the signal I wanted across the two floors, even extending to the first floor.
So why only three stars? Well, I bought the hype that two would be plenty - and maybe they would, in an empty hall. But in the real world, two won't do the job.
Look, mesh networks are fine, but are as problematic as anything else. I had to really move the third tower around before finding the "sweet spot" where it connected. But when I found it, it popped.
Even a mesh network has to be pretty close to one another to push the signal along. Still, it works.
All I'm saying is don't expect miracles. They're good, but are no substitute for a good signal boost which doesn't seem to exist.
Give it a try. It worked for me, but only after buying a third tower and experimenting some.

I upgraded from a Wi-Fi extender to the Velop whole home system. With my amped extender, my upstairs bedroom was getting 15mb/5mb, with the Velop I'm getting 200mb/15mb (240/20 at the modem downstairs)!!!

I have a 2,392 sq ft two story home and would have WiFi lag issues upstairs. After I reviewed Linksys I decided it would be my best option and I’m very glad I did. It was easy for me to install and setup by myself. Best of all it works! My WiFi is working great, just like downstairs. All around our backyard our connection is great as well. I don’t hear anyone or myself complain any longer. So happy with this purchase. It made a huge difference in my home.

Works how it is supposed to, easy to set up. Samsung TV less than 20ft away doesn't always have a clear picture when streaming live TV. That is probably more on the TV side and streaming app than the Wifi.

Hi, MNCM,
The actual coverage of each node varies depending on your network environment. But, one thing that could help to improve the coverage generally is the proper placement. Make sure to keep it away from physical obstructions and wireless interference that could potentially block or absorb the signal. You may try placing it somewhere high instead.
If anything, we can be tapped at [email protected] anytime. Just include a link to this review as a reference.
