Customer Ratings & Reviews

I reviewed the common wireless mesh networks that are currently on the market and decided that since I run a home based business, i would "splurge" for the most expensive option. The ratings on speed and reliability were what really sold me though. I am a stickler about making sure my equipment is not bottle necking my ISP so I run multiple tests each day (I did before getting the Velop also). Not once in the last couple of weeks have any of my speed tests dropped below my ISP package max speed. I also utilize WiFi calling on my cellphone due to marginal cellular reception in my home. With my previous set up I would have noticeable delays both up and downstream, making conference calls an absolute nightmare. Since hooking up this system I have had absolutely zero delays in my WiFi calling and am experiencing blazing fast streaming on all my mobile devices. There were some reviews that I read that said the user had issues getting the nodes to be recognized or that the 2nd or 3rd nodes would not attach to the mesh network properly, but I had no issues at all. I had all 3 nodes up and running within about 10-15 minutes. I am extremely satisfied with this set up. The mobile apps interface is pretty self explanatory and does not seem to be super rich in features, but I do like some of the customizability such as I have labelled all of the normal devices in my home and created prioritization for my work devices. Features such as guest networks and parental controls are there from a network access level, which I think is really cool, but I have not had the need to utilize them yet.

Worked like charms. Even with HomeKit. More protection.

I love it and saw the instant boost in dead zones. From 5-10 mbps jump to 50-90 mbps depending on the time of day. Recommended toa few friends and each saw similar results!

Excellent product and customer service support. Keep up with the great products.

I've been looking for the last few months for a way to get a better wifi signal in my kitchen and middle floor area. We have a tri-level house and our XFinity gateway is downstairs as far from the kitchen as could be. We were using a basic extender where our devices like phones and tablets would log into whichever gateway or extender had the better signal. That worked, just not very well or reliably over the last year or so. So, i started looking at "mesh" systems like Velop. There are some good ones and this one had the best reviews so we tried it. I installed it about two weeks ago and 2 Velop nodes in our house. Our house is about 2600 sq feet in total and was worried that the 2 node pack was not enough but after using it, it has been just enough for us. One node installs at the gateway/router, and then we put the other in the kitchen on the other side of the house and that was enough to cover all of our dead spots. We initially installed it in a corner and the app told us that was a weak spot and to move it. We moved it about 20 feet away and that was perfect. And, it totally blends in in our kitchen because we chose white as the color. In total we now have complete equal and fast wifi in our house. Our speed was only about 30mbs before and after we were able to get up to the 150mbs it should have been all along that we were paying for.to our internet provider. The set up only took a few minutes per node which was awesome. Totally happy, and think this system is worth every penny

This is by far the BEST way to stretch your wifi without adding a range extender that ultimately slows you down. After setting this system up and using it for a few days I called the cable company to do a speed test, we were getting better speeds than we were paying for! A huge noticeable difference! The best part is the flexibility, you can bring the fastest speed to you rather than hunting down the 'sweet spot' in the house.

Are you a little bummed that technology has advanced and you're having to replace a router-extender setup that seems perfectly good, except for a little dust and except for that fact that it no longer works as well? Well, get over it, because for a sprawling house or for the house-andnext-door-cottage setup that we have, the Linksys Velop is a perfect solution. The Velop was a great suggestion, recommended by Best Buy sales associate Vanessa after she consulted with John of the Geek Squad. I appreciated the extra care that was taken to make sure this product would do the job. The sleek, unobtrusive design of the "nodes" is rivaled by the simple, elegant design of the packaging -- very Apple-esque. On a desk, table, or windowsill, the nodes take up a small footprint and have no flashing lights or ugly knobs. Cord management is excellent and unobtrusive. Setup using the downloaded app, with all of its simplicity and friendly encouragement, seemed like it would be a breeze, but I hit a snag. It turned out that passwords for this system should use only letters and numbers; I had thrown in a couple special characters. So, I had to contact customer support -- but wow, was that a great experience. Linksys has a specially trained, dedicated support team for the Velop. Shai helped me dial back the setup process, stuck with me through the setup of the third node, and both called and emailed to follow up. The app allows me to test download and upload speeds, which are more than satisfactory. Highly recommend this product.

This device works much better than eero or a single router/modem. I have 3 nodes and they all receive a fast, strong signal. I'm out in the country and 7 megs is what I can get, this velop gives me wifi all over my home, shop, and gym. I can also surf in most of my yard. Instructions say if I hardwire the system will work even better. Don't need to but nice to know I can make system stronger.

This was easy to set up and covers the whole house, backyard, and garage. Very happy with it.

Overall good unit. Easy to setup and use. It boost range and connectivity.

Once I (and the tech that was helping me) got all the components installed and verified, and made sure it all connected to the cable link for the wifi - it worked great. I have had, not only excellent coverage throughout my home, but the speed has improved as well. Thank you for a terrific product! I also like the app that helps with set up and future checking for connections and speed.

Very user-friendly, easy to set up, extremely fast and reliable. You need to buy this. Period.

We bought the Netgear Orbi System based on other sites reviews. Tried to setup but the satellite routers would not stay connected. Turned that project over to my son who worked in Geek Squad and Computer departments at Best Buy. He couldn't get it to work, returned and bought the Linksys Velop. He had it setup and running in 30 minutes. All nodes on line and great WiFi coverage. Highly recommend!

I've owned eero's mesh as well as orbi's product. I've now switched to the Linksys Velop mesh system. Best of both worlds in that it is a true mesh product with either wired or ethernet backhaul for no loss between each node. I've not experienced any buffering to date with Netflix or Amazon streaming. The Linksys app is also more advanced than that of orbi's. Long live the new king of wi-fi mesh systems for the home.

Was great when we bought in 2020 no issues! Would buy again

I've been a long time network 'expert' trying to get full wifi coverage in my various homes over the years. I've run very expensive routers and wireless access points, of pretty much every vendor you could imagine. The Velop is the first time I've plugged something in and its just worked - don't be deceived those techies amongst you, less is sometimes more. At the moment there are a lot of restrictive features in the app (incl. the way it makes you setup with a phone/tablet and no web interface), but there is a back-end engineering/support interface that gives you more of what you would expect. I have ethernet cables in a lot of rooms and the Velop allows you to use that as a backhaul, effectively making this a mesh of access points that you can put wherever you want. None of the other mesh vendors currently allow this. I have to say though even as a power user I'm quite enjoying the low maintenance aspect of just plug it in, setup the basic networking info and let it go. Is it 100% perfect? No , not yet. There are some kinks in the management app, and the way some odd devices connect will always need some refinement (nothing new there) but in general I can walk from one end of the 3000sqft/2storey house to the other end, on a factime or VOIP call and it never drops once. I think despite all the rough edges on this , thats what I (and probably you reading this) will like the most. It finally solves the issue of whole home wifi coverage without needing expensive cabling to wifi ninja planning skills.

Bought this to try to fix the dead spots in the house. Very easy to set up and works great

I have had good service with these for 2 plus years

My house is not large but I always struggled to find a wifi router that covered both floors and my patio. This seems to be working great. Would be 5 stars if base price was lower. I got it on sale, plus BB had a promotion for 15% off if you recycle an old router. That was significant for this high end system. Without those discounts I would have gone another route(r).

I love my three Velops! Very easy to setup and I noticed huge performance bump as well!
