Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System's ease of use, coverage, and setup, frequently citing its simple installation and strong signal. Many also praise the system's range and performance, reporting consistently reliable connectivity. However, some users experienced connection issues and noted the relatively high price. A limited number of Ethernet ports was also a recurring point of feedback.

    These work great if you are experiencing bad internet wifi coverage in a larger house or ranch.

    I went for the sales talk and brought this product. My area has such bad reception for signals, I truly don't believe this product made a difference. It did help my wireless thermostat work better.

    Wasn't sure when pick up this whole home wifi system how easy it would be to setup and use. Well, Linksys did its homework. I had it up and running in no time at all.

    Definitely better reception. Especially notable change during the busiest times of the day. But the blue light is too bright for me. I have to cover it at night. Would have like in black but not available. But I like that is more compact then my previous router. Two issues. I kept getting kicked out at the beginning but that went away. And, the directions are not quite clear. They should identify the parent node and the child nodes when setting up.

    Very impressed with this product!!!!. If you need technical support on initial setup Linksys is there. I did not have a problem, but wanted some information on how the Web interface worked after setup, it was easy to contact their Velop technical support team. But again, I have had no issues!!! This product has greatly improved the wireless connections to all of my many home automation devices. It automatically switchs to the best band (2.4 or 5 GHz ) for each wireless device you have. Would highly recommend this product.

    The coverage is excellent throughout the house. Speed reduces slightly near satellites, bug not noticeable. Better parental controls would have been great.

    Unreliable Linksys Velop

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

    I bought it as my entry into mesh network around reviewing few other products. However this Velop gave me a lot of problem during setup. Later when I switched over to wired connection it crashed and wouldn't come back up. When it was up, it's running fine but ... I returned this and bought Netgear Orbi and that has been working perfectly. I had no issue with Orbi during install and I had no issue with daily issue for 6 months now.

    Use to rate this product a 4-star for ease of installation and great coverage; while lacking additional ethernet ports. However, since I added a 3rd unit, the 2nd and or 3rd unit intermittently go offline and require a power reset. Each unit is withing 30ft of each other with single walls between them. I have dissected all the settings, manufacture reset the units, reloaded the updates, to no avail.

      Hi, TuscanRider,

      You can try to use the channel finder on the Linksys app to optimize the nodes and, try to relocate them closer for further isolation.

      For further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference, and we'll have our Escalation Engineers provide further assistance.
