Customer Ratings & Reviews

The system itself is easy to set up and the app is good. I bought these to add on to a system I already had in place for a several story townhouse. I added these two "child nodes" to an existing nodes because the speed of the velop system was slow. It was simple to add the new nodes to the existing velop system. But I still wasn't getting the speed I should so I called customer service. They spent a long time stepping me through fixing the speed. It took a couple of calls to finally get it right, but the customer service was really great. What I found out was that these mesh systems are limited and depend heavily on the makeup of your home. I would recommend these, but if you have a several-story townhome or large house you should compare this system versus some others to see what works best. (These were also pricey as compared to other mesh systems available today)

This mesh WiFi system was so easy to setup, and after more than a month, it has been super fast and reliable all over our large 2 level house! Though I have had to buy a switch to connect multiple wired ethernet devices (I have three devices near one node that do not have a wireless option) because each node only has two ports.

I was looking for a mesh network to cover my entire home as well as my detached garage and backyard. This router was able to do so and so much more. The router was extremely easy to setup and the app is great. I finally received the internet speeds that my provider said I should have.

We were getting slow internet speeds when we all started working from home. We upgraded the internet to 1 GB but the speeds we were getting over the cable providers router were less than 1/20 of that. Converted our wifi over to the linksys mesh system (main node connects to router by ethernet cord). Took less than 20 minutes to set up the 3 node system and the process is simple and very user friendly. Our wifi speed increased from the 25-30 mbps we were getting to over 600 mbps as soon as our devices connected through the mesh. Bonus feature is that the additional nodes are wireless network extenders-so now there is terrific wifi throughout the place. Pros: simple set up Up and running in minutes Great connection speeds Cons: make sure you know the login information for your router because you will need to change your routers wireless settings. This is standard and not truly a con, but you should consider having someone assist with setup if you are not familiar with changing router settings.

Linksys sytem was easy to set up an install. I have had for about 60 days and works very very well. Would recommend as a purchase.

I’ve had this over a week now. Setup was very easy with the app, and the app has some nice features like being able to see which node devices are connected to. Previously I had an old Apple airport that was having coverage problems in my 100 year old house that is two story with a basement. It had too many dead spots and I tried an extender up stairs. That worked ok but it required a new network setup for those devices and I was having speed issues through it. Another problem I was having was coverage in the detached garage. This product solved all those problems and I have full coverage in the house and garage. Some reviewers noted the limited number of wired connections. I could see where that might be an issue but I just distributed my hubs out and it actually worked fine for me (MyQ by the bedroom node to best reach the garage, Hue and Arlo upstairs to best reach all of its devices, and one to TiVo on the base node). So far, it’s been up and running great for a week now. I definitely recommend this product.

product has great performance and easy to install. Needs to download the App into your phone to make it work. Doing firmware updates can be frustrating as the app hangs up and the price is very high. used the Linksys - Velop Tri-Band to enhance wireless network at home. All connected from the Frontier router.

I've had coverage problems in our house and this router fixed them. Great range. I contemplated a three pack but two does the job. You'd have to have a monster house/area you need covered to justify a three pack I think. Setup was simple with the app but took a bit. A couple things to note is that the router can only be administered via the app. So some options you might want access to might not be available but I just read that based on requests, Linksys is adding options to the app for release this summer. I'll up my review to 5 stars when that happens as I want a few more options myself. Also there is no USB support for having a network printer or hard drive. I fixed that by using my old Apple Extreme router to join my network wirelessly and plugged the devices I wanted on the network into it. I am very satisfied with the mesh network experience.

I installed this Wifi Mesh system in December 2020. Three nodes would actually work for my house, but I did add a 4th node due to the irregular nature of the house layout. Installation is very easy - download the app to your phone, study up a little on YouTube tutorial, and away you go. The system recovers smoothly after a power outage. It has performed flawlessly. The wireless speed maxes out with what my ISP provides. So what else do you need? I have the entire house blanketed now. No dead spots. At first when reading up on the system, I had planned to install the hardwired ethernet backhaul geature. Since I'm a geek, that just seemed like a good thing to do. But I have to ask myself at this point, why bother? I'm clocking 200 Mbps. It's as reliable as it can be. So for now - I'm leaving it wireless. My initial research pointed to the Linksys Velop System - and so far, it has been a great decision. I will post should that change.

Great for 5000 square foot house, strong signal up to entire 1/3 acre lot. We had a range extender, that is thing was terrible and a waste of everything. Our house once was spotty and didn’t reach all rooms. With the Velop we had no problem over thanksgiving weekend hosting 12 guests all logged into WiFi, streaming on devices and Apple TV. Worth every penny. The design is very sleek vs. the more bulbous Orbi. If you have a large house, this is worth the cost. Give you Home the internet it deserves!

Was looking at the Disney Wi-Fi product but was guided to this product. The app was definitely the selling point, easy to control the parental controls from my phone, setting up restrictions for my kids, and turning on the guest wi-fi as needed. It was definitely more money than I was expecting to spend but my coverage has improved in my home having two spots and we haven't experienced as much lag when someone is gaming. So far it has been worth the investment.

I picked this up on sale for about half price on Black Friday. It gives consistent coverage across a 5000 sq. ft. house (one unit in basement, first, and second floors) with 5+ people and 10+ networked devices running. Installation was easy and the app is intuitive.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I now have a mesh wireless solution that reaches every corner of my house and wireless speeds are incredible. I have over 20 devices that never disconnect. The setup was as easy as downloading an app and walking through a few screens. The only think i would like to see is a way to set static IP addresses for things like printers or smart home devices. This is the only reason I did not give the product 5 stars.

Our house is too spacious for a single router, no matter how powerful. And given how much streaming and gaming we do, we need strong WiFi coverage throughout. Our new Velop mesh is doing the job perfectly. Set up was a breeze with the cool phone app, and the system has worked perfectly since. I’m thoroughl6 impressed.

Purchased this WiFi router system to replace an older router that was starting to fail. Using the recommendation of the Best Buy salesperson I selected this Tri-Band WiFi 5 system. Since I am not a gamer or have a houseful of kids the 5 seemed appropriate over the more expensive 6. The Linksys App made it super easy to setup and place the two units. The app does provide a lot of capabilities but making use of them is out of my technology expertise level. I do have a couple of tech pieces (Nest Smoke Detectors) that will not connect. Something to do with the older dual band vs the new tri-band connectivity. Overall they work well and we don’t have any issues with streaming, multiple users, or online meetings. Would recommend knowing about your older devices as a part of the purchase process.

Works great. Had an Apple router and this has made coverage throuout the house much better and faster.

Best purchase ever!. Did considerable review on Mesh Network equipment on ZD Net, Amazon Reviews, Linksys Home Page and other non OEM related sites. Using iPhone App downloaded from the Apple App Store, I experienced a 30 minute constantly visually prompted color mode indicated installation integrating 2-Node Velop Mesh System working behind a ATT Model 5268AC U-Verse Wifi Gateway.. Note: I sequentially installed two Linkedsys Velop Mesh nodes. Key: After you are completely done with the Velop install ....shut down completely all ATT and Linksys equipment, then restart the ATT Gateway WifFi & Router (FIRST) and then restart the Linksys Velop Mesh Netwoks Nodes (start them up in sequential order of your original Velop install!!) . I had researched the online "bridging mode" enablement on the Linksys Web site, but this was apparently taken care of during initial setup since the Velop initialization program asked me if my Velop Mesh Network was behind an pre-installed internet gateway. I now can see all end-point devices on each Velop individual mesh network node, their connection type and test system network downlink and uplink. This Velop System gave me tri-band coverage on all 3-floors of my home eliminating all previous low or non signal areas. Don't waste your dollars on standalone Internet Router Extenders, buy the Velop Mesh Network and communicate 100%.

Since we got the new Frontier Fios Quantum router, the speed in our house has been great, that is if you are very close to the router!!!! If you cannot see it, it cannot "see you" and you often get kicked over to the guest network. Then the speed goes down, and the line is no longer password protected. Worst of all - the gamer teenage son became most unhappy, when he did not have the correct speed for his games to be fluent. Enter the Linksys - Velop Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System. After an easy set-up of just one unit, gamer son was very happily back in the forefront of his game, and the rest of the family is off course running on the new Velop network as well, and all are very satisfied, with better reception of the Wi-Fi signal. When each family member have 3-4 personal devices, and the common devices such as the TV, the BlyRay player, the home entertainment system, the printers etc all compete for spot too, having a good WI-Fi signal throughout the house is a must. We went from an SNR ratio of 18-22dB to 50dB +/- 3, so it is absolutely an improvement worth the money.

This Wi-Fi mesh system is perfect for my home. I never have any trouble with coverage, and the system is very easy to install. Definitely an upgrade from my single Wi-Fi access point and the plug-in extenders. A little pricey BUT so far it has been worth it.

Was kind of pricey but works great. Fast speeds. Easy setup. Linksys keeps updating firmware etc. very happy so far.
