Customer Ratings & Reviews

This wi-fi booster definitely helped make the signal stronger in our house. A back room/'man cave' TV was having trouble finding the signal, and now it does!

Works well. We don’t have the best internet coverage in our area. These have helped tremendously to make sure all over the house has a reliable signal.

Been a great product so far! Had to call assistance hotline on getting setup since the three towers wouldnt sinc together so that took a couple of hours but all worked out!

We can now sit anywhere in our home, as well as outside on the patio, and receive a strong wifi signal. Thanks to the tech guidance from best buy! and the holiday sales!

Let me start with this. I had to call Linksys tech support because there was issues setting up a child node after the parent node had been configured. On the matter of linksys support they were awesome about the whole thing. We went over what I had already tried and he put me on hold a couple of times to talk to an engineer. The whole process was great. One of the best customer support experiences I have had with a tech company in a long time. The issue. Initial setup albeit a little annoying because you can't use a computer and have to use their smartphone app was not too bad. If there were any complaints it would be that initial boot takes a little longer than it feels like it should. When you get the First node setup with all your network settings it then ask if you would like to add another node. The first node (the parent) works fine by itself at this point, and in a smaller apartment you won't need more than one of these as the signal strength is actually really good for such a small device with no external antennas. The problems for me started when I went to add a second node (the child node as they call it). I got through the first part of connecting the device fine but then it got to a point where it says "checking your nodes location" and the progress bar got about half way and just stopped. I had the same issue with the third node when trying to attach it. After about 2 hours on the phone with linksys we finally determined that I had to set up one of the two that was a child node as the parent node and go through the setup process again. After changing the parent everything connected without issue. As far as using the nodes these are actually really decent as far as connection and speed goes. I have not had any connection problems and you can use the child nodes as wired access points for hardware that you want to hardwire but can't get a wired connection to. So if you have a system that does not have wireless or you just want to use ethernet plop one of the child nodes near that device and plug into the node. Works without any extra setup at all. If I had any complaint at all it would be that for something at this price point it feels like it's missing some advanced features that would be useful such as VPN. But I understand that this product is meant to be easy and simple to use so I guess that's why those features are not included. Also the mobile app is not the most intuitive to use and as it is the only way you can manage/configure your VELOP system that is kind of a turn off as well. As far as the way the system looks and the space it takes up this is a very high point for me. I love the simple rectangular tower as its no bigger than a hefty book end and it takes up much less space than the standard desktop router I was using, which helped me get a good portion of my desk back. Unfortunately due to the size you are limited to 2 ethernet ports in the bottom of the units which if you have a lot of wired devices in one spot may be a drawback. But i happened to have a very small 5 port switch that i was able to use to alleviate those high cable count areas. Overall I had to dock the VELOP three node system a star for those reasons, a lack of some advanced features and limiting the way it can be managed to a mobile app are low points for me. Otherwise the system functions better than my single EA9500 from linksys which is a beast in its own right.

Works ok. No major improvement from what I had. Replaced internet provider model so I am no longer paying through the nose

Bought this to improve reception, but it is not much better than the old router I had. Drops face time chats and youtube.

This unit has made the entire house internet receptive. We always have had dead spots before and tried other products that only "sort of" helped. This one is PERFECT. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Bought to replace an ASUS that couldn't reach the far expanses of my palatial Estate :-) LOL. Also tried a Luma, I have both available if anyone wants to take them off my hands cheap!

The installation was simple and straight forward. The problem was it continued to lose a node and then restructure and would not work for TV. In a days time I could reboot a half dozen times a day and not know which node was off as all of them were blue. (Total of 6) After numerous tries and long waits I was able to get tech support from Linksys and figure out how to tell which node was off and how to "reboot". It worked but was a pain to continue to restart. I was going to pull the plug on ATT U-Verse but backed out because of inconsistency. Returning to Best Buy for different product. When it worked it was great, but not reliable!

This product works great if you have a big house especially if you have an upstairs, downstairs, basement and/or attic. I never had any problems with it.

Best mesh network yet,. Expensive though, ended up returning and getting the google version for almost half the price as it was fast enough for my needs (streaming HDTV, laptops, tablets, phones connected)

80% of the time my picture is clear, but every now and then the fizziness come in. Not sure if it is Linksys - Velop Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System or my Spectrum wifi.

I replaced several conventional routers with the VELOP mesh system. Now, my wireless network is seamless with the coverage I want and need throughout my home. Great product!

Installation was a breeze. Wifi coverage seems very good for our 2 story, 3600 sq ft house. One node in office, one in family room and one in loft.

Getting good wifi coverage all over the house. Only issue is sometimes the downstairs spot loosing connection with the upstairs unit which is connected to the gateway.

Great product. I have a larger home and had issues with wifi coverage by settting up the velop nodes around my house I was able to get complete wifi coverage in all the rooms in my hone.

Setting up the first node was very easy. Because my set was part of the first batch released, there was a firmware issue that caused the addition of nodes to fail multiple times. Linksys Support worked with me and the issue was fixed by downloading the new firmware. You will probably not experience the same problem since they already have the fix and most people will receive the newer batches. Design is really good, coverage is excellent but here is where it really shines. I've had many wi-fi extenders and was never happy with performance even with the highest rated ones. Velop is different. I have a 100+ Mb fiber connection to the internet. With other systems I get around 111Mbps download/52Mbps upload near the main router and 29 Mbps/11Mpbs near the extender (first and only one). With Velop I get 111Mbps/52Mbps near the first and 2nd nodes and 83Mbps/52 near the 3rd and probably can get even better positioning that node somewhere else. I really am amazed by it . This really is a high performance mesh system not an extender. The only concern I have is that with the app you cannot change VLAN on the Internet port which is required by some ISPs using PPPOE like myself. You're stuck with the provider's modem/router. There was a back door to do that but was removed after the firmware update and you need to get their support involved to fix that. I do beg Linksys (Belkin) to add that capability to the app and allow access to settings through a computer. Despite the few quirks I experienced, I would recommend this to anyone who needs not only better coverage but also little to no loss in internet speed. Very happy with the results and with their support when I finally got a hold of them. I would have given 5 stars if weren't for the VLAN/PPPoE issue that affects my specific setup. Pros: . Nice design . Covers a big home with amazing performance . App is easy to use . Each node has 2 ethernet ports allowing you to connect wired devices to it if preferred Cons: . App has some bugs. Updates will surely correct them . App limitation doesn't allow some types of PPOE configuration without Linksys Support . No IPv6 which could affect a few people. No problem for me.

Great system. I am currently using it oversees and it works fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to have wifi coverage in their big house.

Software isn't always readably available. Had to install, uninstall and reinstall to get it to work better (still not always dependable)
