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 tri-Band system is super easy and super fast to use. My internet speed shot up to 900 MHz and I no longer have bead zones anywhere in my three story home.

    This product has been difficult to keep linked to my computers. It frequently goes off line and need reprograming. When working, its fine. I've called support for assistance several times and helps been spotty. Last time the agent tried to help reprogram the units, but half way through dropped the call and never called back. I've muddled through attempting to make the units work. Had spotty luck. Wouldn't purchase again. Pricey!

    I visited my local Best Buy with intentions of purchasing a traditional high end/hi-speed router that would offer coverage for a two level 3400 sq. ft home with multiple web device access via phones, wireless printers and streaming TV’s. After discussing my situation with the Best Buy associate he suggested that I also consider the Linksys Velop Tri-band 2-pk system. The price was comparable to traditional upper end routers and coverage seemed appropriate. Installation was simple and my internet speeds are awesome. Great product and very helpful customer service. A big thanks to the Best Buy associate as well....he had all the right answers and suggestions!

    Parental Controls Do Not Work

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

    Very disappointed with the Velop. Set up is easy, but the parental controls don’t actually work. You can set them - but they have no effect on your children’s device. Of course the teens don’t tell you this and I missed the return window. For such an expensive option, something as simple as parental controls should work. I also don’t like how devices don’t switch to the closest node. I would look elsewhere.

      Hi, JoeC,

      The Parental Controls of your Velop system should never be a challenge if you have installed the latest version of the Linksys App and your Velop Nodes are already working. We're glad that you posted this product review so we can get this sorted out. Please drop us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

    This was a huge upgrade to our in-house network. We now have high-speed coverage throughout the house despite our cable provider's entry point in the corner of our basement. The app makes the devices easy to monitor as well. The only challenge has been making sure the two units stay in communication, keeping the one in the center of the house clear from items or materials that would block the signal. I would highly recommend this to others and am considering purchasing the same units for my church to improve network coverage there. Great, secure units.

    Home is 2 stories and around 4200 square feet. I went from complete dead spots in certain areas of the house to almost no access in the backyard. I now have complete corner to corner coverage in the house and solid access in the back yard! Easy set up and app works well. There seems to be a delay in the parental controls. Takes about 30 minutes to shut off internet access on selected devices. Internet provider is AT&T 250mbps (which we all no nobody ever gets especially on a wireless test). Every wireless speed check in the house is above 60mbps with a general avg of 120mbps. So far it’s been a great experience. I have had this setup for a month.

    I thought this would be hard to set up because I never set up a router like this before. It gives you a setup booklet that takes you through every step and you just follow it on your device. I like how it syncs all 3 to combine the one. This thing is virtually future proof won't have to buy another set of routers for awhile. So that way your always updated. It also comes with its own app which tells you devices that are connected as well as you can have parental controls and I think it has a timer for internet. You can even kick off devices for when their time is up. I just thought that was a cool feature. Just don't abuse it and kick off your friends as a prank that's just cruel.

    From having the traditional modem/router combination, I knew I needed something better. Something that would eliminate dead spots. Walked into Best Buy with my mind set on another router but with a stronger signal and more antennas. Then I was introduced to the Linksys Velop by an associate. I explained why I was looking at a new router and he suggested a mesh system instead. I can tell you, definitely worth the cost. 3400 square foot home and no longer run into loss of signal or dead spots. At one time, can have up to 20 items connected and still works awesome. Very satisfied with my purchase and thankful for the knowledge of the Best Buy associate.

    Bought these over the Google Mesh system per recommendation of Best Buy Employee (these are about the same price so I didn’t get upsold) I live in a finished basement with other tenant in house above. Router for entire place is in upstairs tenants house so I put one node plugged into it, and one plugged into just electric outlet in my apartment downstairs. Vast improvement to signal and speed. Good option for situations where you can’t get your own connection or your room is away from the WiFi router.
