    Excellent

    So far so good. I have always had trouble with consistent wifi with a good connection for the longest time. My router is set up upstairs on the other side of the house and I have spent approx. $200 multiple times for high end routers. Downstairs in the living room on the other side of the house where my family and I are at most of the time, we were never able to use our laptops, phones or stream Netflix on the TV due to the fact that whenever our wifi worked (rarely), the connection was really slow even though we have 100mbps. So far the linksys velop has been working smooth and consistent. So far we all love this product as we are finally able to live in 2017!

    works fantastic throughout the house-only downside was more instructions needed in the packaging-just the basics-called into Linksys and got the answer right off but could have been easier.

    Excellent Product, Solved All of Our Problems

    We are extremely pleased with our Linksys - Velop 3 pack purchase. We have been having connectivity problems for a couple years even though our home is relatively small. It's amazing all the items we have that require Wi-Fi connectivity in one way or another, cellphones, tablets, TV's, laptops, stereo, speakers, headsets, security systems, solar reporting systems, game consoles, etc.. Everything connects quickly, runs fast and smooth. It's terrific, the Nodes are portable and sleek looking, no more hiding in the highest point of the house. Amazing!!!! The customer service at Linksys is equally as awesome!!!

    System was extremely easy to setup using the app. Haven't encountered any data loss anywhere in my house (3,000 sq ft) and speeds are consistent amongst all the nodes. Excellent product.

    I love this product. We couldn't get anything else to work consistently and fast in my 7,000 sq ft, multilevel home. It was so simple to set up also. I would recommend it to everyone.

    Lots of hype

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

    I consider myself an expert in home electronics. First, despite the setup instructions, I had to set up each node individually just to get the latest firmware. Once the firmware was updated for each node, then I had to reset everything and start fresh. Once I got everything setup and running. The ping times were worse than my current setup (2 Apple Airport Extremes). I went from 3ms to 9ms! Switching to bridge mode brought it down to 4ms, but then you can't use the parental controls and cannot use the built-in speed test. The built in speed test could never show my 1Gbps Google Fiber connection. I could get about 700Mbps down and 800Mbps up. Other missing things: no built in switch, which means it is hard to wire up lots of devices without an external switch. No USB means you cannot connect a network drive. The coverage is good, and the wireless speed is strong, but not better than the Airport Extreme. But the benefits are just not worth it for me. I was really hoping for more, but I don't think these are worth the price. Lastly, I see that Belkin was just bought by Foxconn. I just don't see the support being there long-term. Even though Apple has stopped supporting the Airport Extreme, they still did release a security update. So I guess I will just keep buying them as long as they are available. I hope Apple decides to resurrect the Extreme line.

    I thought it would help, but I installed two of the three and saw significant improvements in all my devices. Streaming doesn't hang, websites fly across all platforms. I'm amazed.

    My internet issues have been solved. I installed this product in my house and I went from an unreliable 20mbs to a very reliable 127mbs+ service instantly. Would highly recommend.

    Easy installation with Linksys app. However the connection distance between two nodes isn't that great. Great fast internet connection makes it well worth it.

    Works as stated AFTER long call to tech support.

    This system, once it is setup, is great as advertised. The problem is, it is not 1-2-3 like the setup guide says. Had tremendous issues following the easy app. The app couldn’t be simpler, however, it would not connect to my internet. Finally got main node hooked up, and the “child” node would not connect to the main, because the firmware was different. One hour on hold for customer support, but the agent was knowledge and guided me through upgrading firmware to match. Now it is setup, running 10 devices, and I’m getting lightning fast bandwidth throughout my home.

    Excellent WiFi for the beginner through expert

    Velop does exactly what it says and practically sets itself up. It automatically configures the main router and all the nodes for maximum speed and signal coverage. The best WiFi channel is automatically selected and the iPhone app even tells you if the node is placed correctly. If for some reason you do want to change the settings that option is available also. The WPS capability makes connecting devices with the WPS option a one button operation. My WiFi runs at maximum speed, I get a strong signal outside on my deck and dead spots in my 2500 sq ft 2 story home have been virtually eliminated. Velop is well worth the money.

    Great Mesh Network

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

    Like many other ratings, I have a substantially large wireless network consisting of home automation products (Wink) and video streaming through 7 nest cameras. The mesh network solved the bottle neck as well as devices going off line. I had the Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router which could not handle the size of my network. The auto channel select always failed and if I found a channel that worked, it would later fail. I had to reboot the router daily. With VELOP, I have had zero issues. Granted I have only had the network up for 4 days but I have seen significant improvement in response and downloads.

    I purchased this to replace an older unit that did not provide complete wifi coverage for my large home. This one was easy to set up, about 10 minutes and works beautifully.
