    Purchased when it was on sale at 3 nodes for the price of 2. Was easy to install and greatly extened our wi-fi to cover our home and into our detached garage and yard. Good speed. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    After some difficulty getting the nodes to link initially, we have had no issues with this system. I works just as advertised. Seamless WiFi throughout the house. Front of the house and back of the house. Nodes are easily placed in unobtrusive spots in the home.

    I upgraded my WiFi to a mesh with this. If you only want that, then great! It advertises as being HomeKit compatible, but that is only promised not yet delivered... which is why it got only 4 out 5 stars.

    I am moderately impressed with the Linksys system that Best Buy installed for us. One or more of the nodes however will periodically time out necessitating a reboot by unplugging and replugging. Overall works pretty well and we are pleased.

    Great buy! In the times of pandemic and work from home situations, my wi-fi has not always been reliable. This has surely helped to create a mesh network and improve the reliability of my network throughout my house.

    I was having problems streaming. Spectrum remotely “checked” the strength of signal and said that was not the problem. Installed a new modem and Linksy WiFi. I got the two pack. It was easy to install and my streaming is greatly improved.

    Before installing these routers we had several wifi dead spots (or at least "weak spots) scattered around our house. With the Mesh WiFi routers we installed we've had no further connectivity issues. The product performs well.

    I bought the two pack for my home that’s 3k sqft. One on the main floor and one upstairs. I pay for 400Mbps with Comcast and this thing gives me over 400Mbps consistently anywhere in my house. I would recommend this over anything I’ve ever used before hands down.

    The Techs followed COVID 19 protocol in providing the installation service for the Linksys for my home. They were professional and showed technical expertise during the installation. They did a great job. Thank You.

    Good system. Disappointed that one was broken when I first got them. Took 3 hours of calls to be told to take it back. After return though the new ones work great. My video calls are so much better.

    I bought the Eros from Amazon first, didn’t work well. Switch to the Linksys Velop and I love it. My family is all online (3 of us) using Zoom at the same time...no problems, and it has self healing programming.

    The Velop whole home wifi system has given my entire home full bars wifi throughout my home and my backyard (good for streaming music while grilling and swimming). Wifi speeds are just as fast as being hardwired into the router! Definitely worth every penny!

    A must have for home and office Wi-Fi. This system works great, allowed me to receive Wi-Fi signal no matter where I was in the office and when I tested it at home. I would recommend having a smart phone before purchasing this product because it's easier to set up.

    I recently moved to a bigger two story home and had issues with internet up stairs dropping. My house has 3 PS4s, 4 smart phones, 3 smart TVs and 3 laptops. Since I purchased the Velop system nothing has dropped and online gaming hasn’t suffered on any device.

    Very effective but expensive wi-fi system

    I have been playing with this gadget for almost a week as I wanted to give it a decent amount of trial time before giving my reviews. I must say that I am a bit disappointed with Velop considering it's high price as compared to its competitors. I love its pleasant look. The functionality is very limited. It's a Dual band wi-fi system which includes 5GHzs & 2.4GHz. Apart from that, Velop has a dedicated 5 Ghz backhaul channel which helps in linking the units (or nodes) together. The primary router unit utilizes one band to send the signals to a satellite unit, and the satellite uses one of its 5GHz band only to receive that signal. Then it uses the other two bands to rebroadcast the signal to clients. If you have a small home (up to 2000 sq. ft), 1 unit will suffice. You can connect it to the ethernet wire and it will work just like a regular router but if your home is big, you can put more units to automatically extend your internet range. It will be highly useful if you have a multi story house. Velop is capable of delivering upto 400 Mbps of high internet speed. The good think about Velop is that there is no drop in internet speed. I have a 75 Mbps internet and usually get around 70-72 Mbps. After the speed tests, it was proved that we do not lose any speed. Sometime I even get more than 75 Mbps, not sure if it's because of the unit or from network itself. Setup was super easy. Took me about 10 minutes per node. However, it does not come with any instructional manual, just a card that asks you to install the linksys app, which I did and it walked me through the whole process. You will need to create an account with linksys to set up the system. The app will show all the devices that are connected to the network and you can then control them the way you want. For ex. if you want to block any phone user from opening facebook on their phone's web browser, you can simply go on to the list and then select that particular user and block that website. The person won't be able to open facebook.com anymore but he can still use the facebook mobile app. I hope they take care of this issue in their future updates. Other than that, Velop works great and does the job it says it will. The only drawback is its high price. So if you are in a tight budget, you may want to look for something else or you can get a single pack or 2 pack system of Velop.

    After some initial firmware issues causing nodes to drop off I’m happy to say this mesh system is working perfectly. Seamless transitions for devices and software to control all the features I need.
