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.

    It really works. Increased my connection speed in the one area that was furthest from my wi-fi router and near impossible to stream on a smart tv in. Set these up and problem solved. Able to stream on the tv, run a ps4.

    Downsides are that linksys wants you to set this product up using your phone and setup can take a while. Once setup, they provide great wireless coverage for larger homes. I have used up to 6 of these in one home and with little issues.

    This product does extend our wifi coverage, but due to the size of our home - it's performance is sometimes inconsistent. We probably need more of these - so the performance is likely due to our home size and not the product.

    This is a great mesh wifi system to blanket your house with steady and strong internet connection. I was lucky to pick these up on sale and I'm glad I did. Mesh V.6 is not needed for the size of my house.

    Purchase but never used and returned. I bought Ring products and was concerned about my internet speed in the house. I then ran Speedtest and was in good shape so I returned.

    We had very spotty WiFi in our home when just using the modem. This product is fantastic for fixing those WiFi dead zones in your home. It's incredibly easy to install an the app is really helpful for monitoring and installing.

    This item has minimized the buffering a great deal. I am now able to utilize the laptop the phone and the TV all at the same time without the frustration of buffering throughout my devices. KUDOS to the genius who created this product.

    I have struggled with Wi-Fi in my house since it first was introduced by my cable company. There were always dead zones and I couldn't stream on my smart TV, because it kept dropping the signal. Now i have a signal all over my house and even outside.

    We get much better wifi in our house now with these. After the setup, the system as been rather stable. There is not a lot configuration and flexibility in the system, but there is enough to do what I needed.

    Used to have spotty wifi in my room since it was far from previous router. Now with this new one, I have not had an issue once! Easy to set up and the look of it is sleek and doesn’t take room! Love it!

    I bought this at a local Best Buy store on recommendation of a sales associate because he commented the product offered superior speed over the eero mesh wifi device I had come into the store to purchase. It had to be shipped to my house because they did not have one in stock.. When I received the device showed that I needed to have an IOS or Android device and download an app to install. I don't own a mobile device with either. I then had the geek squad install install the network. The first time installed it didn't work right.. Works fine after a second visit from the geek squad. Be warned though that the device lacks enough Ethernet ports (only two on each node).

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we'll share this with our Product Management Team.

    I bought these last year and could not get it to play nice with my modem. I finally hooked it up to my old router and put it in bridge mode. That was fine, but I never really used it. I recently upgraded my home internet and decided to fix the Velop, after an hour of messing with it I finally got it to work. Since then I am constantly getting disconnected. I have 2 nodes downstairs and one upstairs. The nodes downstairs are in eye sight of each other. I can see one of the nodes from my desk and am constantly getting dropped. The upstairs is even worse. I had the node upstairs and moved the node to the stair well to see if that helps and still see no benefits. I called support and the only real help they said was to wonder around my house until the lights are blue. Which they are all the time and still disconnect.

    I am sooo happy with this purchase - it took me less than an hour to get everything up and going and it reaches places in my house that no wifi extender ever did. I am very happy with this purchase and so are the other 5 people in this house!

    I allways had problems with my wifi allways dropping. After I got this I can use all my devices and my speeds are to the fullest. The only thing is you have to watch where you put them to make sure you are getting even signal distribution.

    Velop Tri-band was recommended by Best Buy associate, the set up was App based and not only walked me through the process, but did all the work. The system has greatly improved wifi speeds throughout the house, and is replacing an AirPort Extreme.

    These were easy to set up, had them running in about 10 minutes. They are a little bigger than most other options, but are not an eyesore. One complaint I have would be that they don't have a USB connection for my backup hard drive.

      Hi, tmartinz2,

      If you encounter dropping connections with the Linksys WHW0302, then one of the possible reason why it happened is network traffic. Try to run the channel finder feature in the Linksys Velop App, and update us on how it goes via email at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have this reviewed with our Escalation Engineers. Send along your contact info and the link of this review for our reference.

      Hi, John,

      If your Velop Nodes are properly relocated and the firmware is up-to-date, we expect that it should provide you a stable connectivity. Please keep on observing how it behaves and should you encounter any setback, don't hesitate to email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have you assisted by one of our Escalation Engineers. For easy reference, indicate your contact details and the link to this post.
