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.

    Initial setup was difficult since it didn't want to see the internet but I think it was my internet modem. Now that it is setup it works great and gives me great coverage in the whole house.

    Worst Router I've Had

    I purchsed the Velop mesh Tri-band to replace my Orbi mesh. The range was terrible and speed was unusable. I was getting good range with the Orbi but I thought having a 3 mesh pack would be better. The range with the Velop couldn't cover my 3500 sq ft home with a 3 pack. The speed went from 600mbps with orbi to 50mbps with Velop. Keep in mind, I'm a network engineer.... Returned and bought a wifi-6 router made by Ubiquiti.

      Hi, Raudy,

      One of the possible reasons why we encounter the range and speed issue is physical obstructions such as thick walls or metal objects. Wireless networks are susceptible to obstructions that may lead to low signal connection. We could have this investigate further with our Escalation Engineers as well. In case you need help with our products, don't hesitate to email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

    Best WiFi 5 nodes out there

    Good all around mesh nodes to have around the house. The range isn't quite as extensive as advertised -- will depend greatly on the construction material of your home. Still the next best thing to WiFi 6.

    Easy set up even though I had hard time to find location for the two towers to communicate. If you are planning to connect a TV to this device wirelessly the results will not be great!

      Hi AP27Goldrake,

      The Velop nodes should easily connect to each other. You can try to use the channel finder on your Linksys app to optimize the connection of each Velop node. Also, try to update the firmware of the nodes as this usually fixes some issues.

      Let us know the results at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference and, we'll have our Escalation Engineers assist you further.

    OK Router

    I'm not sure about this router. It installs from a smart phone, and nothing about the install was simple or went right. Spent four hours on the phone trying to get the system to work. Everything from the connects via bluetooth, and if you have multiple bluetooth devices around, it may connect to any of them and not the phone you want to connect to. Has trouble finding the nodes. It is finally working and is fast, but occasionally one of the nodes drops. For the pain, there must be a better alternative.

      Hi, JeepIdaho,

      Setting up the Velop system should have been easy but, you may try to use the channel finder on the Linksys app to optimize the nodes and, make sure to update the firmware.

    Overall an excellent purchase. Was worried about the cost, but all three nodes were extremely easy to set up in a relatively short period of time. WIFI strength is very good now in the basement, first floor and second floor, with streaming video working very smoothly.

    I needed a new router system because my old one wasn’t doing it for my gaming. This is a great device that reaches throughout my whole house and now there isn’t lag when I play online. Pretty easy to connect through your phone.

    Extremely happy with my purchase... Best Mesh WiFi out there at this time... Once you have the setup right, everything else is a breeze... If you have trouble setting-up the Velop, just call their Customer Service and they will walk you through it step by step. Enjoy it :-)

    Installing and setting up this router was simple. The result was having a WiFi signal throughout the house and patio that was very strong. The bandwidth was more than enough to support streaming to multiple devices. The routers are stylish, and look attractive in the house.

    I live in a 2500 sq feet condo in Evanston and needed more wifi coverage. After numerous reviews and help from sales associates I was recommended the Linksys Velop and it has not let me down. I have full wifi on my back porch and all the way to the front of the living room. Love it!

      Hi, Jaya,

      The Linksys Velop Tri-Band Mesh WiFi System can provide a WiFi coverage of up to 2,000 sq ft per node and provide a stable connection. You can try to relocate the nodes and use the channel finder to optimize the nodes.

    To avoid set up problems be sure to upgrade all nodes to the latest firmware together. I had hoped to use the supported Ethernet back haul which appears to work only to find satellite nodes started managing a few Ethernet devices and slowing them down.
