Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the Linksys - Velop. Easy installation, excellent service!

It's fullfil the needs of my home. I don't feel any distraction during its use. I have pretty good load of about 20 devices on it, but as of now, no complains. I have tested it on multi video streamings simultaneously on different devices but didn't find any issue till now. It provides good security features to protect your network as well.

work well all around the house & decent outside at distance

Easy to set up! Provides excellent wifi coverage !

I bought this system for a large 4 bedroom house and when it works it's great but it often discounnects for no reason. Rebooting fixes it. Also the housing case plastic isnt very study, especially for the money

Once configured correctly they work great. But depending on your particular configuration, modem and router separate or combined in a single unit, can change network IP range. Manual modification of DNS is simple to update. Great value when the go on sale.

My house is large and has dead spots, so I was eyes several options. I talked to a salesman and he mentioned these are the ones he has and he loved them. Also, it saved me aboutn$200 as these things rock. My daughter's room went from nearly zero wifi to 95/95. The only issue I have is there is only one direct connect.

These were great for wifi but I needed some that I could hardwired a few devices as my roommates and I game on xbox and computers. With these you can only hardwired one device. It does however have an easy set up and great wifi range.

I have had this system for couple months now and it has done wonders for extending my wifi network in my house. The problem is that is drops connectivity at least twice a day. I have a device hardwired into my main mesh router and I don't have an issues with that device so I think it has something to do with the wifi signal. Based on my experience and the price of these devices I think I would look for a different system with better wifi capabilities or consistency. Product is easy to setup and app is easy to use. Support was good when I called in for other issues but it is frustrating to have to deal with this on a daily basis.

Easy to install an does everything its suppose too an more.

Extended high speed to the whole house. Easily worth the price.

This cost close to $500 but it did not even perform to the same standard as a sub $50 alternative. I was convinced at the local Bestbuy store by a Magnolia specialist that it was the porch of wifi networking routers. After close to 45 minutes of education and demonstration of its functionalities and the "great" value, I caved in and purchase the velour 3 system. I have AT&T 1GB service so the plan was to set my ism-provided router/modem combo to modem only, and use this as the main router in my 2-story house. I also have two apple AirPort Extreme (1st and 2nd gen) located in two separate locations in the house to increase wifi spread. main modem and velour were located in the game room on first floor where it was devoid of any wall interferences. Pre-velop, I was getting 500Mbps-650Mbps wired internet to the AT&T modem combo. 5Ghz Wif range from 250-320Mbps around the house helped by the two Apple airport extremes. Post-Velop, ethernet bandwidth dropped to 320-380Mbps. Wifi was about 200-250Mbps on the main node and a disgraceful 50-80Mbps on the two secondary and tertiary nodes. Speed several hours on the phone with Linkys tech support and they gave excuse that it was the AT&T modem that was not supplying enough to power the velop optimally. I was advised to contact AT&T to change the modem since I was paying for 1Ghz service which truly I was no where getting. Well, I did just that and new modem installed, without Velop, ethernet bandwidth increased to 960Mbps/890Mbps download/upload and wifi was peaking at 680Mbps/720Mbps. Installed Velop nodes again, and the highest speed was 390Mps/420Mbps on main node and 120Mbps-180Mps on secondary nodes. I have since returned the Velop and replaced it with the Linkys AC5300 4k router which initially had the same speed issue on first install but after getting Linksys support, I am now getting a decent 940Mbps/380Mbps down/up on ethernet and about 380Mbps/170Mbps down/up on Wifi at close range. Still very wifi poor speeds when not in close proximity to the AC5300 compared to stable and commendable 350+ speed from the modem/router directly. I am debating whether I truly need the Ac5300 now since my isp modem/router combo is doing a great job. Only reason why I want to keep the AC5300 is because of the other features such as parental control and device prioritization features. Even those are buggy at times as it does not work as advertised, which the Linksys support also acknowledged as known issues.

VERY GOOD SYSTEM WOULD RECOMMEND TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Let me first admit that I know nothing about electronics so when I purchased something I expect it to be easy to use/install. This equipment is far from easy for us tech tards. First, there are absolutely no setup instructions in the box, Nothing,Nada,000. That got me going right from the start. You had to download an app to install. So I did. Thought, maybe this will not be so bad. But no, now they want you to setup an account with private information such as email address and who knows what else. At this point I tried to do it myself without instructions. Got the Mother (they call it parent, had to be politically correct) node working. Even watched Netflix for a couple of hours before I decided to try the other nodes (children). Could not get it to work. Read some reviews and was ready to return. Decided to contact company and see what happens. Surprising it was easy to find a contact number and actually get a LIVE person on the phone with me. I saw some reviews that mentioned a long wait time so I was ready for that but it only took about 5 minutes for a person to answer. She had a strong accent and was difficult to understand but somehow we got through the entire installation process. I refused to give her my name and my email. They are obviously told to get as much personal information as possible but if not they can still help you. It took a while but we got the "parent" and "children" installed. Got the password changed to something reasonable and not the crazy password on each of the units. All this was done without downloading the app or giving them personal information. You have to however have a computer hookup for the installation process to work. So far, everything is working fine. It has only been a day. Upload speeds on my computer are great. This was the problem and why I was looking for a device to help. We have a very large ranch home and it is a long way across the house and you could forget the basement. Now everything works, even the basement. We will see what happens as I do have a Zoom meeting on Friday and hoping to have that in my basement. Even though everything worked out in the end, I will not be buying or recommending any Linksys product. My main reason at this point is the lack of installation instructions. I just hope that other companies read this and not go the way of Linksys. They make all sort of claims about how secure your information is, but we have all heard this before and we see all the security breaches in the news. I have at least 10 more days before I have to decide if I want to return the product. For now, I am happy with it and pray it stays that way. I am done with my rant.

Had this for about 2 months now, works great so far.

These work great and two was plenty for my 3000 sqft house

Good system for the home. Really easy setup and connection.

Works great has improved our network a lot. Our area doesn’t have reliable internet service and it was hard using all of our devices. Adding the Linksys allows us to have more user and we stream multiple devices unlike before. Highly recommend it if you need to improve your network quality.

Gives solid coverage to large home. The radiant barrier has caused other products to produce large dead zones., not the Velop though! Initial configuration could have gone smoother. Had an issue that required a firmware update and complete restart of the setup. Customer service was good and resolved the issue quickly.

The easiest thing I have ever had to set up. Truly outstanding
