    Linxsys WIFI Review

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

    I had recently purchased a Motorola Dual Band router that included WIFI and had nothing but issues with the slow wifi. Unfortunately I had to return the router and instead I purched the Linx wifi and a router seperately which has worked great for me. i have had no issues withthe wifi at all like before.

    I purchased this setup to upgrade from an older Apple extreme base station and expected extreme results lol. Mind you my only issues were Bluetooth causing interference with the 2.4ghz freq. and very random resets every once in awhile. Now as soon as I connected the velop setup my WiFi speeds “appeared” to increase extremely. Though functionality DID NOT and I barely notice any speed benefits when downloading or uploading content. Plus unless you have some networking experience the app or routers provide very little to no help when things DO NOT work properly. You can pretty much only turn off, unplug and move the routers til they come back online. Not 100% mad at the product though for the price… I would’ve been better off taking a networking class lol

    Bought this mesh system to replace another system that was constantly dropping out. System was pretty easy to install, and for the most part, holds a wifi signal. Does drop out occasionally, which is a negative. Overall, satisfied as this system is much better and more reliable than my prior system which I returned.

      Hi, Buyer,

      Check if the Velop system is already running on the latest firmware and try running the channel finder. If that won’t help, please get in touch with us at [email protected] so we can have our Escalation Engineers check what might be causing the challenge and provide you with recommendations. Don’t forget to include your contact information and a link to this review as our reference.

    I bought this system as per a recommendation from my ISP and it definitely has helped as I live in a 5000+ sq. ft house, but three nodes is not enough. What I've noticed after about a month of use, this is one of those systems that the closer you are to a node, the better/faster your wi-fi is. We have one parent node which is connected to our modem/router via an Ethernet cable in the basement of our house. I work in the basement, my desk is maybe 100 ft. away from the parent node, but it struggles to latch onto the wi-fi, so a temporary fix was moving a node from two floors up and moving it to my desk area. Now, I can work from my desk with blazing internet. Basically, put the nodes where you need the internet to be the fastest. Put one where you have a smart TV and put one where you work.

    Not Reliable

    Did a lot of research before finally deciding to purchase this system to expand the coverage in our home. My main priority was network reliability and consistent speeds, and that is exactly what I have had problems with. The previous router provided by the internet provider did not have this issue, only range issues which this system did fix. I have tried to fix this but haven’t had much luck and still find myself with occasional slow speeds and connection issues across several devices. Also one of the nodes started occasionally emitting a high pitched buzzing noise…

      Hi, Jim271,

      We understand how you're feeling towards this experience. Let’s make sure that the Velop nodes are running on its latest firmware version and we have a stable connection coming from the main Network. Let’s also try to plug the affected node with the buzzing sound to a different power outlet for isolation. Please update us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so our Escalation Engineers can further assist you. Include your contact information and the link to this post for our reference. We hope to hear from you soon.

      Regards,

    We made this purchase to help enhance the hone WiFi which was having issues as we used it with our devices and streaming. With the Links we are now able to rein multiple devices on the same system with limited to no interruptions with the services . We also the fact that you get two places to plug in directly. Great price and great product.
