Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wifi speed not as high as I had expected. I have about 940k speed at router and only get about 150k on the wifi.

so far no problems and picks up well outside of the house, upstairs and down the basement

I bought this item when it was discounted as a half price. It is so great. Our internet doesn’t disconnect...

Seems to work better, thought I would get better coverage with three of these. May need one more.

Love it. Salesperson was very knowledgeable about different brands. Just changed to fiber and love it.

No more laggy or dead zone spots anywhere in the house, upstairs, or in the basement. Works perfect in the backyard too.

We absolutely love our Linksys system. Also their technical support is SO HELPFUL!

This WiFi system is very much like my previous reviews of Google WiFi and other such node-based systems. Great unboxing, simple packaging with everything you need to connect to an upstream modem over Ethernet, and the three power cords and the three small towers that act as the hubs. As with competing systems, the Velop comes in a 3-pack and features power and uplink/downlink Ethernet connections. One of the cool things about the Linksys set was that there were reset and power switches on each node device. I did notice that these use proprietary Linksys AC Adapter plugs instead of the much more welcome USB Type C of some competitors. All in all I noticed excellent coverage of my newer home of approx. 2500 sqft. Where the complexity of the home's layout and the far end location of the office and modem make this house too much for any single router configuration. This was the first of the node systems where I saw consistently high speeds at every far corner of the home regardless of distance from, or which, node I was connecting with. I also liked the fact that with Linksys, device priority (the only thing closely resembling QoS in the admin interface) could be assigned to up to 3 devices instead of the usual 1. This allows for all of my work devices to be a priority by day, or maybe our XBox or AppleTV to be a singular priority when needed by the family at night while other downloads and activity occurs. The only downside I found which isn't specific to this attempt at the app-enabled, IoT inspired, multi-node WiFi game is the mobile app's lack of options or customizations. With Linksys, you don't get to give custom names to your nodes, nor can you do things like specify the internal network subnet. It's 192.168.1.xxx for everyone, which while not a big deal, is a security risk if someone gets on your network and wants to find key end points. My guess is the default IP range they'll try is the one you get here. The only other complaint and this one is common to the format also is the lack of Ethernet ports to build out a local network in the primary room of the modem and initial hub. I almost wish these systems came with a traditional 4-5 port router with these nodes as extenders instead of all the devices looking alike, which, if you need more ports, now requires a third device in a 5-port switch or the like. I'm not knocking the core functionality here. Simple. Strong. Fast. Elegant in the home. Just about perfect. I'll go online and begin researching the nerd stuff.

I have a 2300 sq ft home and my WiFi signal was very weak in my bedroom. Once I installed these my signal increased significantly.

Wanted to extend the range of our WiFi and these were easy to install and seem to be working beautifully.

I've owned this mesh system for nearly two years. I am not sure why I haven't replaced this with another mesh system as it is super unreliable. I live in a relatively small house (approx 1600 sq ft) and have three nodes in different areas where wifi is needed. The mother node which is hard wired to the AT&T router/modem works just fine - of course you would expect that because its at the home point. Walk 20 feet around a corner and the wifi drops from 400+ Mbps to about 100Mbps. Continue down a hall and it drops to 16Mbps. I decided this would be a good place to put another node - wow, a huge increase to 17Mbps...unreal. This is not a wifi extender but an ornament for a room. A reliable mesh system should be able to carry the home signal more than 15-20 feet away. My next door neighbor's internet comes in stronger than this mesh system. The other node (#3) is in my garage which is detached and has become the home office due to Covid...let's just say at max the Node will produce 40Mbps. Not sure why it is such a crappy mesh system and slow speeds in both the bedroom and garage - both within eyesight and near direct line site of view to the home node. Do yourself a favor and look into another brand. I am sure Linksys knows of the issues and really could care less about solving the problems. The Best Buy salesman said this would be a help to the slow internet holes and patches in my house - hope he got a commission on the sale. The other issue is remaining connected - these little nodes like to flash red the go blue then back to red on a daily basis. I have set this thing up and re-set it up several times. Its super annoying and frustrating to say the least...Lastly - if you decide to buy this, dont say you werent warned...JUNK!

Ended up exchanging this one out for the 2 node one, if you have a gigantic property than this will be perfect for your house.

Easy setup, took about 15 minutes. The problems are that is does't emit enough range for a 5,000 sq. ft. house and the signal strength can be weak at times. Lastly, through the Velop application, I can see that the device(s) in the home aren't connecting to the closest pod to them. Customer service is good but maybe this Velop pod system is better off in a smaller house with some minor software and application upgrades.

The system was really easy to set up and it has done a great job of spreading the WiFi throughout the house.

Our home WiFi was spotty, was hesitant due to the price but MAN this has made such a tremendous improvement

We struggled with a weak internet signal for years. Installed our Velos and solved having no WiFi issues in all corners of our home.

This product has been fabulous so far. No issues, and my Wifi strength has increased tremendously. Awesome addition to my home electronics.

All I have to say is wow. I can truly say it's the best wifi system I have ever purchased. There are no more dead spots in my 3300 square foot home.

I’ve always struggled getting WiFi on one end of our home but not anymore! Would recommend this to anyone who struggles with reception

THese work great, I have internet all through the house!! 2600 sq ft and the basement!
