Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have tried a couple of solutions, Orbi etc and before I spent the $1500 on a hard-wired system with hard-wired access points i thought I would give this product a try. I have to say I have consistent speeds all over the house and couldn't be more happy. Well worth the investment.

This product is great, if you need internet boost. Works great for old houses with plaster walls.

It was the simplest router setup I have ever had. So far after about 2-3 weeks it is working fine

The nodes really do make a difference I am getting coverage in areas of my house where there were dead spots and higher speeds than my last router. However, it doesn't reach out into the street, which can be annoying when I'm trying to start up my gps or play music before driving away.

I have a two story house, where my old wifi modem/router sat on the first level at one end of the house. My gaming system was located on the second floor at the other end of the house. Long story short, I couldn't play online for more than a few minutes before losing connection. The solution? Linksys - Velop Mesh Wifi. Simply put, I now have strong signals throughout my entire house. Wifi is something that you shouldn't have to think about when you come home from work each night, and thanks to this system, I can just kick back and relax. Setup is very easy (mobile app needed) and satisfying. The app gives you full control over every aspect of the system, even allowing you to pick which devices you want the wifi to prioritize to. Stop struggling with poor internet connections, and make your life easy today. It is pricey, but most definitely worth it.

These were so easy to set up: just follow the directions. And the coverage is seamless as I wander around the house and even outside with my laptop. Where I used to have to switch to an extender, I now don't notice any switch as I move from one site to another.

Bought these in Early 2019 with a Geek Squad Plan. Glad I did as they started to fail in late 2020. I still think these are a good product that got a LOT of use considering our household at the time had almost 100 devices including smarthome connected stuff. Would recommend at a low price point like $300 or less for those that want a mesh system with extremely easy setup using just an app on your phone. For those that want easy setup and better WiFi, go with the Velop WiFi 6 MX5 or MX10.

This wi-if system is amazing. We are now getting wi-if even in our garage. The range is so vast.

The range a strength of the signal allows a house of 3,500 square feet to be completely covered.

Great purchase. Bought on recommendation from a friend. Easy setup. Advanced features may require assistance. App is easy to navigate. Use it to schedule device downtime for my kiddo. Great coverage for inside/outside the home

Very good product, very easy set up right out of the box. Coverage is very good I have 2 of these and have complete coverage of about 2100 Sg ft. I haven't had to restart them since I set them up 2 weeks ago so that's a good start. We will see as time goes on

Right out of the box, this system impressed! This was the easiest router that I have ever set up! I have my tv hooked up to one node via the cat 5 cable. Fastest speeds and no dropped signals. I would recommend this to anyone who has sulignal problems in their house. Great Product!!

I am getting into this whole connected home stuff and being a Best Buy employee I got this at a sweet deal. With my house as old as it is and as difficult as it is for wi-fi to travel within my house it was the perfect amount to completely cover my house with full bar wi-fi. For the average apartment and whatnot I recommend the 1-2 Velos. This really is overkill but the product and the ease of use is very worth it.

I had a single router before this, located centrally in the house. In the basement, I couldn't get through a Netflix movie without it dropping. Now, I have no problems. Coverage is uniform throughout the house. I'm very satisfied.

This product has been a game changer in my house. I had a standard wireless router and a wireless network extender before and they made going between floors in my house a chore and an exercise in frustration. I always had to change networks (to the Extended one) every time and broadcast issues, etc. With the VELOP system its all the same network, on every floor and for every device. This purchase was worth every penny!

We have a larger home and I purchased this product because it had the range we needed. It is more expensive than some of the other systems and I chose it because of the name reputation. It was simple to install with easy to follow instructions. I would purchase this product again.

This really worked great to bring wifi to our 2-story home, however, I really wished they would enable more user control. If you need to extend your wifi into a large home or to handle dead-spots this is a great system, however, it's pricey.

Was looking at the various options for the Mesh Network for my three story townhome. I have had ongoing problems with coverage with just one wireless point. I have a hardwired Ethernet in the house, but more and more devices are using wifi. I also have Verizon Fios with a MoCa interface with television using their set top boxes. Several options are available for Mesh Networking, but I wanted an ethernet backhaul, true Mesh Network with just one SSID, and MuMimo for a chance at some future proofing. Velop had excellent reviews on the various tech sites and I purchased a set of three. I believe it is important to understand my needs and underlying issues as I discuss what happened with installation and final setup. The box had three devices, power supplies, and an ethernet cable. A card was in the box that said to download the app and follow the directions. Linksys is trying to make this device as simple as possible to install for the everyday consumer. I installed the app on my Moto G4 phone and followed directions. It did not go well. Multiple attempts to setup the devices over the course of the day were unsuccessful. There was no way to log in by hard wire into the devices to set the device up. At least that is what I thought. I called the support number and within a few minutes, a very pleasant young lady worked with me to set the devices up. After 100 minutes of time, using a laptop and remote access through my laptop with Windows 10, she was able to get the three devices up and running. Kudos to her and Linksys’ 3 year warranty and 3 year 24/7 tech support. Now I had the three devices running, but wanted to use the ethernet backhaul. Plugged them into my network and the blue it’s working light changed to red. I had watched the tech support closely and realized that there is a way to access the more sophisticated interface via a browser. I had two networks, double nat and needed the verizon router to provide a guide and on-demand to my set top boxes. I disconnected the fios router from my home wired network and only connected it to the primary Velop router. The 2nd port of the Velop router was then connected to my home wired network. I then entered the fios router and made the Velop router a dedicated address and moved it to the DMZ in port forwarding. This makes the double NAT much less problematic. I then went into the interface of the Velop and changed the WAN port to a static address with appropriate DNS servers and the fios router as the gateway. All the devices in my house except the set top boxes and the Velop were on the Velop network. My various devices and computers had no issues other than being rebooted or reconnected through the wifi interface, but this was a minor issue. The red light changed to blue and the mesh Wifi was up and running with excellent speed test. My other issue is that I have two Slingboxes that my children use to watch TV via the internet when they aren’t in town. This was easily done, by finding the address and port the devices use and creating a port forwarding rule for each. Directions were on the Sling site. This could be done via the app or with the web interface. I also gave them dedicated addresses through the device. This also worked well. Sonos devices needed to be reconnected, but have worked well since. My dell wifi printer needed to be verified with all devices and worked well once old printer drivers were removed so they couldn’t accidentally be used on my Windows 10 computers. So, in summary, the Velop has given me an excellent Mesh Network WiFi with ethernet backhaul and only one SSID for all devices to use. Connectivity has been good and all my devices are working well. The double NAT is not an issue using the DMZ approach and allows you to use the Velop interface on both the GUI on a browser and the app on the phone which works well though is a bit more limited than the GUI. Linksys’ approach with only the phone app is honorable, but at the end of the day may not be the best approach given the variety of different setups that people have in the home. I would recommend Linksys be a bit more open about the web GUI with directions on their website to help setup the various options that people have. A more complete FAQ to help with issues like Verizon Fios should also be made available. Calling for tech support for every problem can be frustrating for the consumer. Overall, I am very pleased with the Velop. It is exactly what they say it is. It is not, however, super easy to setup. The android app appears to be an issue at this time with setup as well. I am uncertain if I would have had the same setup issues if I had used an Apple devie. Most consumers would have just returned the device if they ran into the problems I ran into. So, 5 stars for the device and 3 stars for the setup “simplification.” I am giving it a 5 star rating, because it does work very well and the phone tech support was excellent.

I have a 3 story home and initially had Comcast router / modem combo they provide. Wasn’t bad, better than I expected. But still had a couple of dead zones in the far reaches of the house. I went with the Velop mesh on a friends recommendation. Easy to install. Just follow the prompts after downloading the app on your phone. Has been installed for about a month and so far seems to be working very well. I like the security features. I’m not an expert but understand mesh is far more secure. The app lets you quickly offer a secondary guest access with the touch of a button. Easy to see your performance as well. I did have one of the nodes go offline but a simple plug in and out resolved it. For Security, ease of installation and use, this has been a very good purchase so far.

Set up is extremely easy! We now have a great WiFi signal throughout the house.
