Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted wifi in the shop. Old setup wouldn't stay connected on a dry sunny day, this thing I get instant wifi all the time!

Very easy installation and works great. Just make sure you have a wired connection to your wifi or cable modem for it to work.

It does everything they say it does. I have three nodes and have perfect WiFi throughout my house.

Works as stated. I now have seven of these throughout my 3,000 square foot house, and 4,000 square foot shop.

Needed to resolve weak signal issues in network. Setup elegantly simple and issue completely resolved.

This is an add to my current Velope to even get further coverage. This is the most awesome system

This product does the job but it also seems to have connection problems from time to time.

This product was an easy setup and a great buy. I recommend this one highly.

I bought the 3 pak and wanted some more coverage. These items from Linksys are AWESOME

With kids and family my internet was getting scattered and this item boost my coverage with no drops

Easy to set up and use.has good range and lots of reatures

First node went fine, second node went fine, third node acted up. Once I got it going wirelessly, set it up to use Ethernet per manufacturers instructions. This worked but I noticed major drops in speed and node switching was almost non existent. This happened while it was set up wirelessly as well. App is useless, showed devices connected to wrong nodes, and wouldn't show some devices that were connected, I could ping these using the app, but wouldn't show them connected. This makes parental controls useless. Some forums are telling people to ignore the app....What? Linksys pushes the app from the get go, and makes the user hunt for the web interface, which doesn't seem to have all the same features as the app. This system was supposed to replace a well functioning Linksys EA9500. The app for that works fine. This app for this system, not so much. I would log in and it would show 10 devices connected, close the app and restart immediately and it would show 18 devices connected. It would report node disconnection when there was none. One node would get bypassed altogether by every device even if it was right next to it, the only way to get something to connect to it was to force it by shutting wifi off on the device and then turning back on. Even then after a few moments it would disconnect and move to any other node. These were not placed in a bad spot, was told by set up app that placement was,"just right". I even ordered three more nodes thinking I got a bad batch, and was planning on returning the first three. I tried every configuration for an entire weekend. Reset to factory settings, reinstalled, etc. etc., but no go, same issues as the first three. I really wanted this to work. When You look at the forums you'll see that every problem I ran into, is listed and talked about, These are not new problems. This is a very competitive market for mesh systems and it seems like Linksys rushed this out for people to buy and they would fix the problems as they came in. A very Microsoft way of doing things. For the price that's charged for these, you would think they would have tested this a little more thoroughly. I like Linksys, I have only used Linksys routers and switches but this product for me is a HUGE fail. I packed all six nodes up and returned to best buy. Unpacked my EA9500, which I had already set to factory settings to sell, and hooked it back up using the smart wifi app. Was up and running in 6 1/2 minutes...yes, I timed it. I would recommend holding off buying this until these issues have been addressed. Do your own research and you'll see.

So far working well for expanding my mesh network.

Very fast mesh router works very nice I would recommend to others

We added this to our existing network to cover the kids basement play area. Works great

this is the best router you can buy very easy to set up

Good quality WiFi 5 mesh system. Only bad thing is that if the internet drops (from your ISP) the Linksys often will not reconnect until it is powered off and on again. So if you are remote, you are dead in the water until someone can physically reboot the router.

So easy to do! I already had an internet switch for other devices but wifi was terrible. I plugged this in and made very few adjustments in the Linksys app. It connected to my existing Linksys 8300 tri-band mesh router through the switch and gave off solid wifi.

No more wifi dropouts! Velop Mesh is stste of the art full coverage for the whole home. Just purchase a node to extend wifi coverage in garage and other rooms which are away from the modem location.

Simple to set up, and simple to use, the app on your phone makes set up take about 10-15 minutes. The only hiccup you may incur is finding the right spots in your house to put the units.
