Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am pretty happy with this product. It set up fairly easy and takes up very little space. The one problem I had with it was that there were no setup instructions. It just told me to download the app and follow the instructions on there. This was a problem because the app would not download to my iPhone. It technically downloaded but would never actually open, so it was useless. Instead I had to use an old Android phone to download the app and follow the instructions from there. And the app could be slow at times (which could just be because I had to use the Android phone instead of my current iPhone). But once the first node was up and running everything was fine and it connected really easily. You can set up parental controls (which I did not do), set up device prioritization (which I did do), and allow guest access (which I did not do). You can also receive notifications if one of the nodes is offline. Additionally, you can test the speed of your connection. After it is finished testing the speed of your connection, it also tells you what your wi-fi can handle at the download and upload speed it found in the test. So it is a good product, which is pretty easy to set up, and I am happy with it overall. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I wish I could give no stars. This product is horrible when compared to standard router or even other mesh routers in the market. I returned your within 6 hours.

The setup process with the Linksys app is a cinch. Just open the app and follow the prompts. If you can read and tie your shoes, you can set up this system. Choose where to place the pods ahead of time, and it will go smoothly. The only small setback is the size of the power adapters. They are about 3"x3"X1.5", so arranging other plugs around the adapter may be necessary. The speed of the system is impressive. It effortlessly handles streaming videos and multiple gaming consoles at the same time. I paired my Velop with a Netgear CM1000 and haven't tripped on any lag yet. The broadcast area is amazing too. My entire home and most of my front yard, garage, and back yard have a decent signal. The whole of the house is a full-strength signal. Forget those wifi signal boosters. Those things are Band-Aids. Just fill your home with a high speed, consistent network.

These never worked for me. Almost every day I had to reset/reboot and reconnect. I returned them after 2 weeks and got the Netgear Orbi.

Mesh system is not good. Hard to setup and did not sync well. Would not recommend at all. Ended up returning for another brand.

Spent hours on the phone with tech support trying to get this system to work. After several days of struggling with it I gave up and returned it to BB.

Terrible. Nearly impossible to set up even with manufacturer help. Eventually returned.

Having recently installed Google Wi-fi in my home, I had some expectations from this system, and it did not disappoint. The installation was a snap. I configured the main (first) tower from my internet box, which took about 10 minutes using the app from the Google Play store. Once the tower was located, I was able to configure my router name and password without any issue. Adding the two additional routers in my home took about 5 minutes each to locate, configure, and test. This was similar, and in some ways better than the Google Wi-fi. Each connected tower showed on my app that I'd placed it in an ideal position for optimal wi-fi coverage. They say these towers will cover 6,000 sq. ft, regardless of what floor of the home they are on. This is the case. With Google Wi-Fi, I had to make sure that the additional wi-fi units were at least within 2 rooms of each other. With this system, I placed a tower in my master bedroom in the upstairs front of the house, and another tower directly below that in the living room. The main is located 3 rooms away, and coverage is still amazing. My home has nearly 20 devices connected to my wi-fi, and I'm able to prioritize what device takes priority. I'm also able to pause my children's devices, should I need to (during dinner and homework time). Overall, this system is highly recommended.

Once a day the nodes disconnect from the network and need to be reset. Googling the problem suggests it is unsolved and very common.

I installed all 3 items around my home. Could not get them to co-operate with my home wi-fi ( Frontier ). Returned product.

Hasn't made any difference in our speed. So disappointed!

It was terrible to set up Hard to get help when nocked off line It was a good choice

I dont receive good Velocity via wifi, not easy to config, to expensive for the result

Signal is very unstable, take forever to reset, signal keep dropping all the time, save your money and buy Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh.

Very slow speed. Returned and bought one model up and happy with current one.

The nodes for this mesh router system dropped connections frequently and created more buffering than the router I replaced. I returned It

I've heard great things about this router but not a fit for my household. I will be exchanging this item soon.

I have moved these to my second house instead of buying new. At first, the limitations of of configuration after coming from DD-WRT seemed annoying, but with local logon I found that it really did do what I needed including remote service to check local cameras and video storage. The signal strength, coverage and speed are super and since my phones and laptops and tvs don't use AX, this tri-band setup using wired back-haul gives me great connection capability throughout the home and even more than 100 yards away.

Disappointed in thus purchase, I haven't had it long and already having problems with the connections.

I've got Comcast Gigabit Internet and was worried that Velop wouldn't be able to handle it. I was worried needlessly. By connecting with an Ethernet cable I got the same 950 Mbps. speed as if I was connecting directly to the modem. My Wi-fi speed was equal to the Nighthawk router Comcast provided. As others have said, the connection of all three nodes was effortless. You need no technical skills whatever. Just follow the illustrated instructions on the free Linksys phone app. I had all three nodes operating in 15 minutes. All of my devices connected back to my network with no trouble and I've got a much better wi-fi signal all over my house. Two small negatives: 1) I wish I could manage my new Velop network from my desktop computer. When you sign in to the "Linksys Smart Wi-Fi" website with your username and password, you just see "Velop Wi-Fi can only be managed with the LInksys App" Disappointing. 2) The power bricks for the three nodes look like they're designed purposely to hog more than one AC outlet. Neither of these however would keep me from buying the Velop. It's great having high speed wireless connections all through the house with no coverage gaps like before.
