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 owned this system since July, 2018 and I have not experienced anything great but constant drop-outs and restarts from the app. I have attempted to reach the customer support via email and from within the app as well and I am left on my own each and every time. It's a great concept to extend connectivity for most areas of the home and I do have a very fast and reliable network provider, but this device does not perform to its full potential.

      Hi, Anthony,

      Several factors may have caused the setback such as physical obstructions and wireless interference. Keeping the Velop system running on the latest firmware will also help to stabilize the connection and improve its overall performance. Allow us to pull up your support experience by sending your case number at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can review what happened. We'd also like to hand you over to our Escalation Engineers for further assistance. Don't forget to include your contact information and a link to this review as a reference.

    Set up is complicated. Connection to the internet and responding to multiple questions required. Then because they did not tell me that I could not have my previous network running concurrently I had to spend a full hour with one of their representatives to get the system to work. THEN after less than 24 hours, the new system crashed. Another full hour with a representative finally got the new system back up and it has functioned well since then-about a month ago. Before this system I had two networks operating at the same time without problems.

    a little too soon to see if there will be any problems but so far the Velop seems to work well.. periodically check the app to see if all is good... after the short amount of time I've had it, no complaints..

    WiFi everywhere and not skipping out. It has improved my ability to stay online everywhere in my house. Why rent one from your service provider if you can own it yourself?

    What a great system! No more multiple routers/extenders having separate passwords. Now it'se a seamless connection between towers. I was even able to use the app from over seas to make some changes for use of my Slingbox. LOVE IT...

    Great mesh router at a good price. WiFi 6 was too expensive but this one wasn’t. Check to see which is cheaper (black or white) if the color does not matter to you.

    Love the concept of Mesh. It works great then doesn’t work at all. Not sure if it’s my internet provider or this system? Just been having problems last 6 months or so.

      Hi, Denise,

      You can isolate the challenge by connecting a computer directly into the modem. If the connection is stable, get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have our Escalation Engineers diagnose the Velop system. Include your contact information and a link to this post as our reference.

    System works Great. My electronics challenged girlfriend set this system up by herself and loves the symplicity of the app to control her kids use. She has had over 25 devices connected at a time and never had a drop connection.

    Purchased these to replace my airport extremes and these were a breeze to set up. My network runs faster and is more reliable then it has ever been. I recommend these if you are looking for wireless mesh network.

    The system works great except one cell goes off line in an area of the house that is farther away. It doesn't always recognize the system. Otherwise it works great!

    This is difficult to install. There are no clear detailed instructions. You are supposed to rely on their 'app' to do all the work, but you can't go back and make changes. Took me best part of two days to get it done. Coverage isn't a whole lot better than what I had (modem and router). Says each unit will cover up to 2000 sq. ft. My house isn't a lot bigger than that but it has difficulty covering the whole thing. I will say it looks better than the cables I had strung through the kitchen, though.

      Hi, Frank,

      The Linksys Velop System (WHW0303) should be able to provide a total range of up to 6,000 sq ft. but, can vary with the placement of nodes in the system. Actual ranges will vary depending on wireless obstructions, operating environments and building material.

      However, you can try to use the channel finder on the Linksys app and try to update the firmware to optimize the system. Please reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference. We'll have our Escalation Engineers provide further assistance.

    Works pretty well, definitely better than my SOHO w/an extender. Individual nodes will lose connection randomly and then reconnect after a couple of minutes.

    I don't have the biggest of houses, but a 2 pack of these bad boys covers my one-and-a-half story 2700 sq ft. home and then some. Bonus: I did not even think about swearing during the setup. Easy as can be!

    Very happy with this wifi solution. I had a great stand alone router that just couldn't cover my entire home, especially for wireless cameras. and these provided great coverage.
