    Pros: Looks great Relatively easy setup Great connectivity throughout my house, and covers most of my property (~6 acres - but not much in the way of competing signals near me) Cons - Only one wired port so plan on having switches if needed for multiple wired connections All in all way better than traditional router WiFi extender combos. Ideal for larger spaces especially if you are not getting good signal throughout.

    Just installed so not sure I can give a 5. I am writing this review because when I read reviews half of them I wonder if they are marketing lobbiest putting messaging out there. My old dlink dir880 was just not enough processing speed to handle my 5000sq home with three teenagers streaming and my wife and I working from home. Needed more bandwidth as well as ability to schedule away time for devices without subscription. I am probably an advanced user so the setup was fine. I saw one review where a person complained that you could not get into the router via your computer. That is not the case. You first setup via phone app very easy then you can get to it via an IP address. I changed the router up address to match my required ip range as I have a switch in my basement and have some hardwired connections. I am getting 200Megabit speeds now versus 90Mbps on old router. We will see once it really gets loaded but so far I am happy. I chose this over Orbi and eero due to the ability to schedule time away for my kids devices. The schedule feature interface is okay it’s kind of confusing when doing crossover and late night time off. All in all I like the app interface. I did signup for the more advanced website control to see how it works. I use open DNS which is another Cisco owned deal. You can select categories like teenage. My kids watch a lot of YouTube so not sure if it can filter YouTube or not.

    I replaced my Eero node with these. They were easy to setup and the performance over the dual band Eeros is outstanding.

    Went with this option after significant research and a recommendation from an IT friend. We had our floors replaced upstairs where our modem is and for some reason the subflooring that was used was like aluminum foil, and blocked all signal to our downstairs. With the three units, I was able to position one at the router, one at the top of the stairs, and one at the bottom of the stairs in line of sight. It cleared up all downstairs issues, and my bandwidth is more than before the floor work going through the floor.

    Awesome system to build a complete wireless system throughout your home. We have close to 4800 sq ft for internet to cover between 3 floors and prior to installing our coverage was awful at best. After installing we can get internet at expected speeds throughout our home. The app is great for letting you know when you are having an issue with a pod and you c as n quickly restore it.

    After over an hour, my tech guy couldn't get the 2nd and 3rd nodes running. The next day setup was easy for me. 20 minutes tops. Built-in speedtest always seems exaggerated on DL because ST at any individual wifi-connected device is always much slower. Wish the app showed current thru-put on each device like on NG's latest routers. Also wish the app also drew a star map like the NG R9000 product. Bottom line is 1000% better than Comcast's built-in router and that was my goal.

    I bought these along with a MR8300 mesh router to fill in some WIFI dead spots in my house. In the middle of my house is a large masonry triple chimney with two fireplaces covered on three sides with bluestone. WIFI signal doesn't go through it, nor through the 12 inch foundation walls, including the one that runs between the basement and garage. The router is over the garage, so I had good WIFI there, but none in the basement, the bottom back porch off the basement, or the back yard, and a weak signal in the other end of the house. So I put one in the other end of the house which is over the basement, one about 20 feet from the router which gets the signal around the fireplace, and one on the main level screened back porch which covers the lower porch and back yard. Yes, the one in the screened porch is operating outside of the environmental specs (I'm in upstate NY), but no problems so far. It's the only way to get a signal in the back. I tried streaming HD video and walking into my previous dead spots while watching the app to see which node my laptop was connected to. It seamlessly switched around without any video glitches. I waited a month before writing a review so I could assess the reliability, as some reviewers have had problems. So far, I have had none. I don't have any other signals around me to interfere with things either though. After a power outage everything boots back up fine and reconnects without intervention. All of my nodes are connecting directly to the router, so your experience may be different.

    It was a little tricky to set up the first node but the next two were a breeze. But it could have been from my secondary router interfering with them. I live in a small apartment so the three nodes are a little over kill and the nodes so close together can make some devices lag because they are trying to a stay connected to the initial node and not the closest node even though it gets full signal. Not a big issue speeds are still fast. I get 250 gbs/sec on my last node which is nice.

    We had difficulty getting good WiFi through our house with and Apple router. I had concerns about how all of our TVs and Apple TV would connect. I have 3 smart TVs, 2 Apple TVs and a tin of phones when hugh school kids are over and it all has worked great. We now have basically full speed that Comcast provides thoroughout our entire house. Took less than 20 minutes to set up. I could have gotten by with only 2 pods, so now I have one sending signal out to my entire back yard.

    I recently made the decision to move off of our old Google Wifi (original version, not the new Nest). After researching other mesh products based on features and customer ratings, I went with the Linksys Velop Tri-Band 3 pack. We're in a 1,500 sq. ft. ground floor apartment with 3 bedrooms so I set up the Velop and placed the units throughout the apartment approximately 30-40 feet apart separated by multiple walls. Setup was a breeze and earned a hearty "huzzah" and a cold beer upon completion. Unfortunately after a few weeks we started experiencing issues where a random access point would drop, start flashing red, then eventually come back on line. This happens around once every week now but since my wife and I are working from home during pandemi-corona-pocalypse, this leads to extensive cursing/weeping/gnashing-of-teeth. Parental controls were another deciding factor in going with the Velop and while they do seem to work most of the time, there have been occasions where a device that is schedule to have internet access and is showing as "on" cannot access the internet. This hasn't happened frequently to cause a household revolt, but it's worth noting. All in all the Velop is a good product with solid performance, robust features, and nearly effortless setup. I almost gave it 3 stars due to the random AP drops, but I'm in a good mood today so I'm going with 4 stars. It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
