Many also praise the system's range and performance, reporting consistently reliable connectivity. However, some users experienced connection issues and noted the relatively high price.

    This is an outstanding mesh wi-fi system. Installation was very easy even for this novice. I now have the full power of the internet throughout my whole house. No more weak signals, good bye to buffering.

    Large house. 4 levels. Coverage everywhere including basement. Vast improvement over previous router. I was interrupted while installing. Instructions were not clear about resuming installation. But common sense led me to do the right thing (add a new unit).

    The cable company stopped supporting their WiFi amp So we had to buy a replacement. This works better than anything ever offered by the cable company. There are no dead zones on our property which is almost 2 acres. Very Pleased!

    I’m very pleased with this purchase. No more dead zones in my house. Each unit can work independently or as a network And at night we usually turn the ones in the bedrooms off. It was super easy to set it up.

    Speeds are good when it works. My area gets power outages several times a month during the hot summer. Problem is, is the Velop system wont reconnect to the modem after a power outage. I always have to sit and mess with the Velop system to get it to reconnect taking up to 1 hour to get it working again. Rebooting everything 20 times. For 400 bucks, the thing should be serving me ice cream every night, along with what its supposed to do! I give up with this system. Looking to find a better solution.

      Hello Kirk,

      The Linksys Velop should not take that long to boot up after a power outage. To help optimize its performance, make sure that it's running on the latest firmware version. Also, to help you further with this matter, please email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with the link to this review and your phone number; we'll hand you over to our Escalation Engineers.

      Regards,

    I really needed better Wi-Fi coverage in my house, so I decided to investigate mesh Wi-Fi systems. A BestBuy associate recommended the Linksys Velop system and it definitely does the job. I did have to call Linksys support for some help getting it set-up, but they were very helpful and I didn't have to hang on hold at all. The tech stayed with me until everything was up and running.

    I have a shop 86ft from the house and tried several ways of getting WIFI out to it. The salesman at BB told me this would work and boy was he right . This is great coverage and distance , easy to set up. Have not had 1 issue.

    This product was very easy to setup. Setup took less than 1 hour. Probably closer to 30 minutes and I am not very tech savvy. I have been very pleased with the performance. A great improvement over my previous router (of course it was several years old).

    After quizzing three helpful store employees about how to network our new multi-generational house (multiple living spaces shared by four generations, from 9 to 95 years old), they redirected me from attempting multiple routers to a meshed system. After hearing their recommendations, the Linksys Velop won out. I was able to set up our new Arris modem and install the Velop system, even without a laptop (using only my Android smart phone.) 2 Velop access points easily provides coverage throughout the 3 stories and ~3000 sq ft. We haven't noticed any dead spots or lag in the wifi, and attain up to 120 Mbps (we pay for 100 Mbps service). Currently we use it for phones and tablet devices; as we settle in, we will connect a variety of smart home devices, laptops, and TV streaming services. I am confident the system will support all of our diverse needs.

    Works well in providing coverage where you need it. The App is easy to use. Had some issues on connecting new nodes but restarting the system before adding a new node seems to do the trick every time.

    ...you have wired back-haul. These are overall great devices with great performance and coverage. If you are getting 3 or more it is ideal to have them all connected via Ethernet for best performance and unlimited placement flexibility

    Very happy with this product, this mesh system really help me improved the reliability of the wifi in my house. I was a little concerned with some online reviews about complex setup but it was actually very simple. I've distributed the 3 nodes across our house and all our connectivity issues went away. I work from home and we have several netflix users but I'm able to prioritize my devices and rarely have an issue with bandwidth on voice calls. The effectiveness became clear a few days ago when I accidentally powered of one of the nodes and immediately the devices on that corner of the house started having intermittent issues. I powered it back on and everything came back to normal.

    I moved from a single WI FI router to the mesh system. The system works great and handles/balances load to all my devices. I've also put one unit in my home office which is a separate building and signal stays strong and allows me have my IP phone plugged in as well. Setup was simple and took me less than 45 minutes. A lot of the time was spent waiting for the units to talk to each other for setup purposes. I did have an internet outage 12 hours recently that caused the units to go offline. I had to reconnect unit 1 and then it communicated to the other units quickly and I was back up and running. I recommend the Linksys Velop system - it has worked flawlessly for me (as long as Xfinity doesn't go down)
