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.

    You can also get it in black. I was excited about the white for a the home setting. But actually the black is really nice looking as well. Wouldn’t pick anything else for mesh WiFi. I only used the 3 units in the box. I didn’t add additional ones as WiFi reception was beautiful with just the 3 units.

    I've been working in IT for 20+ years and haven't had more trouble than getting this system running well. I originally tried to operate it in bridge mode using my current router but it took a Loy of playing around and multiple resets to get the nodes up and synced. Always had trouble getting the third one going even when I switched them around and they aren't more than one room apart. I finally decided to get third of my current router. Took another full night but I finally got all 3 going well. There are a couple known issues with these. You can not turn off the very bright LED light on the node. A problem if it's in your bedroom. Second, you can not choose which node to connect a device to or force 5GHz unless you set it up with separate 2.5 and 5 GHz signals. This can be a real pain.

    These have made the Wi-Fi in our home consistent. Setup was not easy, but after trying to call, found the chat worked better. Used the standard IP address to complete setup on the first NODE, then the second and third Nodes worked as expected. Since setup they have worked great.

    Where we live the internet is much to be desired. Bought this gadget to help with getting better wireless internet throughout the house. Easy to set up with an ap on your phone to see how it is running. It has helped with wireless service and have not been kicked out as much as before.

    Replaced a Netgear Nighthawk X4 with this 2 module Velop. The Nighthawk was a huge improvement from my old budget router, but still couldn't get signals in the far reaches of the house.Now get wifi throughout the house. Approx 2300 sq ft house, plus 60 or so yards outside the house in the yard wifi coverage. Extremely happy with the purchase.

    My client needed a wi-fi solution for their two story home. Following instructions, my clients son downloaded and installed the app on his phone. I then walked him through configuring each individual unit to connect with home combo modem/ wi-fi router. After the setup was complete we walked from room to room to room without loss of connection.

    I have been a long time Airpot Extreme user and fan, after moving into a new 2 story house over 4000 sq ft on half an acre it was time to upgrade the WiFi. After reading a lot of reviews and comparing multiple website recommendations, I went with the Linksys Velop system 3 pack. After set up and testing I was disappointed to see my speeds dropped in half from my aging Apple router! Tried all the troubleshooting before exchanging it for the Eros Pro 3 pack, what a difference! Double the speed of the AirPort Extreme with the nodes in the same spot as the Velop system, SOLD! Save your time and money and get the best with the Eeros. Hope to save you some headaches...

    We have a 3,000 sf. single story home, and a 4,000 sf. shop in the back yard. With seven of these unites we have Wi-Fi everywhere we need it. Set up is pretty straight forward. The only problem we have is that one of the nods stops working in middle of the night out in the shop, but luckily it resets it's self.

    I have a 2 level townhouse and for some reason it was impossible to get decent WiFi signal on both levels despite spending hundreds on high quality routers. This product definitely solved my problem. I'm not a huge fan of the setup process as it failed a few times trying to add on the second node but eventually I was able to get it to connect.

    The Linksys - Velop Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System was referred to me by a Best Buy sales rep for my current needs at home as a wifi extender and I have to say he was "SPOT ON"! Because of where my "ISP" has located my internet base at home the Velop has defiantly provided the coverage to my entire house and then some.

    Works excellent, had some trouble to get the WiFi working off the router. Contacted Tec support and they where awesome they linked into the system and had the wifi up and-running in a short amount of time after locating the issue with the cable company supplied router. Excellent TEC. SUPPORT!

    The Velop system was easy to set up with the LinkSys app. We have not had any problems with devices on the system. One WIFI for the entire house is nice and coverage is excellent. The two Ethernet ports also make it easier to incorporate into our wired Ethernet system. I think the slim towers are more attractive than the NetGear Orbi.

    We have a tri-level home with 1,440 Sq ft on each level. The modem is in the lowest level but having these on each upper level gives easy Wi-Fi connections and speed. We run several TVs, laptops and hand-held devices simultaneously with no detectable lag in bandwidth or speed.
