    I never realized how fast my Wi-Fi could be until I ordered this product. It’s like a champion race horse. Great product, reliable product, and it looks great too.

    They work great. Occasionally they aren’t consistent with signal but not often. I get full speed everywhere in my home.

    This unit has made the entire house internet receptive. We always have had dead spots before and tried other products that only "sort of" helped. This one is PERFECT. Couldn't ask for anything better.

    The devices perform well and support wired backhaul, but network performance becomes sluggish after a week or so, requiring a restart of the Velop system.

    Best mesh network yet,. Expensive though, ended up returning and getting the google version for almost half the price as it was fast enough for my needs (streaming HDTV, laptops, tablets, phones connected)

    If you bought this recently from 11/19 and have not been impressed with the nodes dropping offline, it is only because they have updated the firmware to include a bunch of bloatware trying to sell you on their protection package...this is utterly unnecessary and has WRECKED a perfectly good product. You need to downgrade your firmware follwing the directions below. I took these directions from a person that posted them on the linksys community boards, followed the instructions and BAM it works perfectly! This would be a 5 star review when they fix their firmware... in the meantime, downgrade to the firmware called out below and TURN off automatic updates. Problem solved! PSA: 1.1.9.195026 is the last best stable firmware View in community Directions for manual firmware up/downgrade: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=274497 Linksys link to V1.1.9 https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/firmware/FW_WHW03_1.1.9.195026_prod.im... Linksys link to V2.1.9 https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/firmware/FW_WHW03_2.1.9.195026_prod.im... ---------- The only way for me to upgrade firmware to any later version is based on two factors: 1. They fix the 2.4GHz broadcast issue. AND 2. They allow end users to disable the useless Linksys Aware to stop the extra band from being broadcast.

    Setting up the first node was very easy. Because my set was part of the first batch released, there was a firmware issue that caused the addition of nodes to fail multiple times. Linksys Support worked with me and the issue was fixed by downloading the new firmware. You will probably not experience the same problem since they already have the fix and most people will receive the newer batches. Design is really good, coverage is excellent but here is where it really shines. I've had many wi-fi extenders and was never happy with performance even with the highest rated ones. Velop is different. I have a 100+ Mb fiber connection to the internet. With other systems I get around 111Mbps download/52Mbps upload near the main router and 29 Mbps/11Mpbs near the extender (first and only one). With Velop I get 111Mbps/52Mbps near the first and 2nd nodes and 83Mbps/52 near the 3rd and probably can get even better positioning that node somewhere else. I really am amazed by it . This really is a high performance mesh system not an extender. The only concern I have is that with the app you cannot change VLAN on the Internet port which is required by some ISPs using PPPOE like myself. You're stuck with the provider's modem/router. There was a back door to do that but was removed after the firmware update and you need to get their support involved to fix that. I do beg Linksys (Belkin) to add that capability to the app and allow access to settings through a computer. Despite the few quirks I experienced, I would recommend this to anyone who needs not only better coverage but also little to no loss in internet speed. Very happy with the results and with their support when I finally got a hold of them. I would have given 5 stars if weren't for the VLAN/PPPoE issue that affects my specific setup. Pros: . Nice design . Covers a big home with amazing performance . App is easy to use . Each node has 2 ethernet ports allowing you to connect wired devices to it if preferred Cons: . App has some bugs. Updates will surely correct them . App limitation doesn't allow some types of PPOE configuration without Linksys Support . No IPv6 which could affect a few people. No problem for me.

    This wi-fi booster definitely helped make the signal stronger in our house. A back room/'man cave' TV was having trouble finding the signal, and now it does!

    Great WiFi mesh from Linksys. But I still could find dead WiFi spots in my home no matter how arranged them. But, otherwise it’s well made.

    These are great for expanding your WiFi. I like the feature that it will manage itself if a node drops out. Awesome for use in a home or a business location.
