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.

    I have a three story home and had poor internet and telephone reception. I went to Best Buy and talked to a salesman that was very knowledgeable about my problem, since he experienced that himself. He went over all my options and I decided on the Velop system. It works great. We are extremely happy with the service and the product.

    I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else is having issues with wifi speed and reliability. I have Comcast's 400Mbs internet plan, and for quite a while now have been having huge issues with the wifi provided by my nearly new, highly advanced Linksys mesh network devices. Speed tests would consistently show no more than 150Mbs and would drop precipitously as the test went on. After some research I discovered others have had the same issue. The solution is to downgrade the firmware on your new devices - from 1.1.16 in my case - to 1.1.9. Magic! I now get consistent, reliable and fast speed tests from all devices on the network. Ugh. Really, Linksys?

      Hi,

      The Linksys WHW0302 Velop Mesh System can deliver up to 400 Mbps (2.4GHz) + 867 Mbps (for each 5GHz). You may try to use the channel finder to optimize the nodes but, allow us to have our Escalation Engineers investigate your Velop system further. You can reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com and share more details with the link to this review for our reference.

      Regards,

    The mesh router has been a good choice between performance and price. It works better than a router that was only 2 years old, and 3x the price. I’ve even installed this same mesh router in family homes and there have been no complaints.

    Set up the system and could only get up to 10 mb throughput. After trouble shooting found that the supplied cable could only support 10. Switched to cat 6 and getting close to the 100mb that fios supplies. I love the parental features as you can cut off the internet at bedtime:)

    Cannot see where this did much good where we live. One of these always kept losing connection. Displaced from Hurricane Laura now and no idea if they are damaged. Won't buy again if they are

    Set up was the easiest ever. Entire system was up and running in less than 15 minutes. Coverage leave no dead spots in over 4,000 square feet on two levels. The app enables total monitoring and control. Very happy with the setup performance and control of this product.

    Not so wide coverage. The AP does not change to new connection like it should. The setup is not easy either. I would not recommend unless you had a large hose and the devices were stationary.

    This mesh system works better than our previous network. We had a base with an extender. The Velop AC2200 provides much better reception to the corners of the house. My main issue is that there is only one open port for hardwired devices.

    Great for WiFi only. Horrible hardwire design.

    Great signal strength/coverage though there is one overall major Achilles heel... The construction is horrible and if you even breath on the unit the AC adapter will fall out of the bottom of the unit causing it to lose power. Very poor design if running hardwire at all since the CAT cable presses right against the adapter and seems like that port is probably mounted with hot glue or souly the solder joint. Will likely return.

    I was expecting a bit more from this device considering the cost but overall it does provide wifi as well as my previous router although it does have a little wider range of coverage.

    Super easy installation, maintenance, guest wifi set up. Not as "great" on coverage. I have 4200 sq ft plus need to get to garage and outside equipment. Works but not great. Used all three and probably need at least 1 maybe 2 more to really make it do what it said 3 would do well.

    Excellent product, solved all slow WiFi and devices losing connection to the network. Also solves issues due to legacy devices with old 802.11 stds. Now WiFi speeds anywhere are the same as connected with Ethernet to modem and therefore the same Max as the plan offered by the service provider.
