Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Linksys Velop wifi mesh system after reading a lot of reviews and talking to people familiar with the product. I own a tri-level home and my current router and extender combo was unsatisfactory. I purchased the Velop system and easily installed it in twenty minutes using the Linksys app. The performance is everything I'd hoped for, this system delivers on its promise of a robust wifi mesh over every square inch of my home. The very competent and helpful service tech helped me configure the parental protections that are not yet available through the app, but are executable through a back door router command and works great. I am very satisfied with this product.

I had two nodes of AC2200. Setup was very easy. I was not getting enough bandwidth on my TV with wireless connection so I used ethernet cable connection from one of the nodes and my issue resolved. A little expensive but very flexible solution for the wifi need of the homeowners. Recently I added two more nodes (AC4400). I added AC4400 as extra node to my wifi using phone app in less than ten minutes without any issues. Later I decided to change my primary node to AC4400 from AC2200 to get better bandwidth, I ended up called support tech and they helped me configure it by resetting two nodes.

Before we bought the two Velop nodes we had to have a second drop from our ISP that cost us $60 a month. Our guest house was about 150 feet from the main house and the ISP's modem router wouldn't reach that far. They tried a repeater/booster but no help. So we bought an Arris SBG6580 and two Velops for about $350 total. The Techs from Linksys got on the phone and walked me though the running. We turned off the router function on the Arris Modem and tuned the Velops. We now get 100mbs+ in the main house and 50-60mbs in the guest house. So eight months of savings have paid off the Velops. And we can treat Netflix - no problem.

My old home wifi was a high-end consumer wifi router and a range extender, with a second wifi in the basement as a backup. I found myself constantly having to manage which I was connected to, and to go from the front to the back of the house required resetting my wifi choice in 'settings'. I also found myself constantly rebooting the router (or listening to my wife a daughter complain that the wifi isn't working). The VELOP system eliminated all the problems and drudgery, AND IT IS BLAZING FAST! We also have UHD TV and streaming is flawless as well. Page loads are lightening fast, and walking around the house is seem less. This is what wifi should be. My dreams answered!

I wanted to wait 3 months after I purchased this item to see what it can do with my daily wireless needs. I have gone through a few wireless routers, but this unit out performs them all. I had dead spots in my house and I added extenders, but never got the results as the Linksys Velop. I currently have 250 Mbps as my plan and roughly 14 devices running at the same time. All my devices downloads at high speed. The unit is a bit pricey, but as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". This is high quality and it provides what I need. I highly recommend the Linksys Velop especially if you care how fast your wireless is throughout your home.

This thing is great. Coverage is consistent and when you drop out of range it picks itself right back up. Internet monitoring is great. I wish you didn't have to sign up for the Linksys Account right off the bat. Also, some sort of offline set-up would be helpful for those offline network applications. Wired setup is easy once you have all the stations working. Word of caution. Set up each individual node as its own network, update, reset. Then create the mesh network. If the firmware versions are different, you're going to have a bad time. A very long, and painful bad time consisting of nodes just not connecting on the very last step.

Very easy to set up and recover after I had an internet outage and power outage too. It works great with no difference apparent in speed between the nodes. Very good strength of signal.

I was amazed at how easy setup was. Even connected an existing router for even better range. Great speed. Incredible appearance. So far I've been extremely impressed

We have 5 smart phones, many ipads and computers. Our old router would drop connections often and had to be rebooted often. The Velop system sets up easy and has been flawless.

As an IT professional with 20+ yrs experience, I can tell you this product is near flawless. I often see it compared to the Orbi but IMO there is really no comparison. The Velop is easy to setup, true mesh, and allows for ethernet backhaul -- something the Orbi simply lacks as of today. Wifi signal is great throughout the house and I have yet to experience a serious hiccup. For any techies out there like me (advanced users) you will also enjoy a great web interface experience which goes well beyond the functionality of the smartphone app. Bottom line -- if you're looking for a solid mesh Wifi solution, look no further. This is it, period.

I love this router. I have a two story home with about 2,500 square feet. It covers my whole house with no dead spots. This is far better than any other router that I have owned.

This has been a great purchase. allbeit a little pricey but i have not had any wifi issues. or dead spots. Good bye range extender

Read extensive reviews trying to determine if Velop would work with my Uverse NVG599 Gateway. My house is 2 story about 3300 sq ft with my Uverse gateway upstairs in a bonus room over the garage. I simply turned off the NVG599's two wifi radios, plugged the first Velop node into the a port on the switch attached to the gateway and ran the Velop app on my IPhone. Very simple setup of all 3 nodes and I now have great reception all over the house at the speeds better than I used to have standing next to my gateway!

This thing doesn't lose signal or strength. I have a long half acre and it reaches almost to the front of my neighbors house all the way to the back of mine and probably some more

This Whole-Home Wifi system is almost flawless and gives me more speed than my ISP charges me for. Initial setup is the easiest Ive ever seen. Love this product overall.

Mesh coverage is great. Had slow internet for a period of time but the linksys tech support helped me get back up and running fast.

This system was really easy to set up. I had to get a 8 port switch to replace the LAN ports that were on the ASUS router I had but everything worked fine with just a straight forward plugging in the cables. Downloaded the app to my iPhone and followed the directions with no problem. BTW, my internet provider comes in via an ONT rather than a modem but that was no problem. As has been reported, some of the device information is weird/wrong, but so what - no big deal. Awesome range, which is why you buy it. My speed was super originally but as you add devices, it does slow down as you'd expect. I have 17 devices on it as of now.

I had the standard wireless router from the cable company and the signal was not sufficient for my new home. I eventually bought an extender and still was good enough. Once I purchase this system I haven't had an issue with WiFi going out or needing to be reset. It supports all areas of my home and all smart devices. Very easy to setup and the application is awesome and user friendly. It let you prioritize what devices you want connected and also you can set up schedule to disconnect other devices. Also I am able to block access to individual devices. I definitely recommend this product.

I bought the three pack and used two in one apartment and one in another and it works great. I got full speed using two nodes even though there are three walls in between them.

The quality of this router is top notch. The tangle free chords, great build, and high quality packaging all screams quality. So far it's downfall would be the setup process. It requires you to download the Linksys app in order to setup your router. If you're using an iOS device, you're fine. Not so much for Android users. I tried completing the setup process using the Android app. It kept locking up and freezing constantly. It never allowed me to complete the setup process. I then dowloaded and installed the app on my iOS device. I had no issues. If you're using an iOS device you will be fine. If you're using the Android version of the app, you may run into the same issue I had. Hopefully this can be addressed.
