    Had issues with poor coverage with the traditional modem/router combo. Decided to try Velop. Super easy to set up. Awesome coverage throught the entire house and basement.

    Linksys Velop for very solid wifi

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unfortunately with the foam insulation in between my walls, I have had a pretty poor wifi signal to reach my entire house. I previously used a wifi extender with little luck. I took the three velop system out of the box, downloaded the mobile app and within 10 min had the my the entire system up and running with ease. You really need no technical skills to get the system going. Once up and running I got a very strong signal throughout the entire house. My house is a two story 3500 sq foot, but I think it would work fine if my place was bigger. I put 2 units upstairs and the remaining down stairs. I honestly couldn't be happier.

    Works amazing, no dead zones in the whole house

    I was a little skeptical when the BestBuy associate spewed the usual sales pitch about how amazing this is and how it would really speed up my Wi-Fi. But when I got this home and tried to make it work with my comcast gateway I could not get it to detect the internet connection. So, I contacted Linksys tech support and they helped me so through the set up and determined that the firmware needed updating and once that was complete it set up quickly and the three pods are setup throughout my home and the WIFI has no dead zones anywhere. I am so pleased how this system works and highly recommend it.

    Noticable Improvement

    The installation was trouble free and easy. The WiFi speed on first floor increased 2-3 times as fast. Rather expensive. Time will tell if it is worth the price.

    After investing in 6 nest cam I ran into issues where some were working intermittently because of wifi issues. Decided to buy the Linksys whole house wifi system and it did the trick. Being an IT guy I also decided to hard wire it into my home network since I already hard wired my house 2 years ago while I was doing some DIY renovations and setup a cat6 network throughout my house. I daisy chaining them together and then back to my Ethernet switch and what a difference in speed. Wish nest made a cam that can be connected hardwire since that the best connection but thankfully this Velop remedied my situation.

    I don't want to rehash everything that has already been stated about how great this product is, so I will just say that it does exactly what I wanted...and well. The one hitch I had is that I wasn't getting the same speeds as my ISP supplied modem - dropped from 117 Mbps to around 70. I worked through troubleshooting with both Linksys and my ISP for more than 6 hours. Just before I gave up, I decided to try one last thing. I removed the Linksys supplied Ethernet cable and used my own. I was immediately getting 117+ Mbps again...throughout the entire 3100 sq ft house. Great product.

    Was a journey

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Since I got it figured out it has worked absolutely flawlessly. My only concern is I spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support to get it set up. Now the rep from tech support was very knowledgeable and did her best to make it happen as quickly as possible, but she also told me with the latest firmware update their were a few situations like mine where it took more than the "minutes" described in the box. It was a journey and I hope they keep striving for improvement, but the set up was a bear at first and for that reason I can only give it a 4 star.

    Works as advertised

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So far so good. I've had my 2 node system up and running without a hiccup for a couple months now. Linksys tries to force the use of the phone app for setup (although there is an unadvertised way around it, which you can find by searching the internet). Ultimately, I chose this mesh wireless routing system over the many others on the market for the fact that I could get around the app only setup that they advertise. I couldn't seem to find any others that allowed setup outside a mobile device app. I have a 3 story house on just under .4 acres and I have coverage everywhere on my property.

    After researching about wifi mesh systems for over a month and looking for the best out there, I decided on the Linksys Velop...and boy I am sure glad I did! I have had it for over 1 week and it has not failed me yet. I have a 3300 square foot home and have a very strong signal throughout my home. I have over 40 wifi connections and this system works like a charm! Never a slow down, its like you are connected over wire! Love the pause feature for my kids...need to have family time at night and this makes it happen. I would highly recommend this over any wifi mesh system out there!

    WiFi router I don't need to replace!

    Solid wireless in all areas of a 4000 sq ft house with the 3 pack. I probably could have used the 2 pack but didnt want to risk it. First time dead spots don't apply! Setup was easy and simple controls. I wish there was a built in security portion showing any attacks or open potential problems but maybe in the first firmware update. I love how easy the app makes it to prioritize speed and turn off connections. I wish there was a child control setting to turn off Internet for certain devices at a certain time. Overall very good hardware and software app that can be amazing with a few addons.

    Great for larger homes

    Nice upgrade. Had the lower grade version but as kids got more devices, more home devices, etc the need for more power was obvious. Much smoother handling of devices with minimal buffering issues. Sometimes have to reset the system to jump start speed but there may be some other way to accomplish this if I sat down and really worked through the options. Overall happy and having good outcomes with over 35 devices connected to it.

    I have purchased 4 of these for different locations each one has been a breeze to setup and has worked without any issues. I had my doubts about the product I didn't think it would have full speeds at the end of my home or the one I put in my parents house but now I get full speed wifi where I never thought I would without an access point after running a cable and making a new ssid . I love the feature that allows my devices to auto switch connections to be best router for optimal connection and speed. Never have had an issue I've used them for about 3 months now this is my 4th purchase
