Expensive Bricks and Garbage support
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not sure how these have such good reviews, but maybe I got a bad set. Regardless these disconnect from the internet constantly. IT is not my internet as I do not have the same issue with my old Google WiFi setup. The nodes will not stay connected to the main node and the main node will not reconnect to the internet automatically. If I manually unplug and plug it back in though it is fine, at least for a while. Also setup is annoying and customer support is as well. I talked to them several times, I went through all the re-setup steps when I talked to them previously and the nodes still do not function properly. I was told they could not approve a return unless I go through the setup steps with them again, even though I did it 3 times previously. This means gathering up all the nodes and plugging them in the same room (yes, they require you do this) then re-set the system and got through setup again. I did this 3 times. The app is also garbage, it is way too slow to load network status. All of this for $500? It is not acceptable to me. I went back to my original Google Wifi and now have 3 very expensive bricks. If you do buy these, good luck, I hope you experience is different.

Wi-Fi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little disappointed with the WiFi signal. And the configuration for limiting users too, is not so efficient.

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. Rest assured that this is not how the router should behave, especially if the ISP connection is stable and the system has been configured successfully. Allow us to investigate this with our 2nd Level team. Send an email to LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review and any other relevant information for our reference.

Not even a year and still having issues connecting
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this system less than a year and have has nothing but problems. Constantly having to reset the entire system just to use the wifi. Unable to connect with personal devices, cell phone and laptop even the Xbox but ipads, tablets and work laptops seem to connect. Don't know what the issue is and ready to get rid of this system. Don't waste your money.

NOT WORTH IT!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't usually leave reviews, but this one was so bad I just had to warn others. First off when it works its good it has decent coverage and good speeds. The problem is it doesn't work 90% of the time. Like others stated I've also had the problem of wifi constantly dropping. Mainly when I would turn on my laptop or pc. I didn't understand why and i tried changing the settings, moving the location of the router trying a different node to be the main one and nothing. Their customer service is one of the worst I've ever dealt with. They will literally have you doing 10-20 "possible solutions" to "narrow down the problem" before them considering taking them back. I've contacted them about 6 or more times and each one has a different suggestion but no real solution. If you guys stand behind your product you should have a limit to where you finally say you can take it back and replace or give us customers our money back. This things are expensive! Now I'm sutck with useless mesh routers and a company that doesn't care and won't do anything about it. And finally yes I know the router is the problem as my ISP already came out to my property to ensure everything on their end is working. I ended up going with google wifi mesh network and it works perfectly fine no issues, so yes the problems lies with the Velop routers themselves. I really do wish they worked since the wifi 6 does provide better speeds, however it is useless when it almost never works.

Spring for the Eero
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return these after two days of testing. These routers would constantly display connection problems, they would claim one beacon in the network would have problems. And the app, while currently well rated, is a web app hack job that takes minutes for things you could do in seconds on an eero. I switched from older Eero system to this and regretted it immediately. Save yourself the headache and spring for eero. The speed and reliability trade of and quality of the iPhone app is way worth it. They also got dirty immediately and barely fit back in their own packaging.

Posted .Hi, Ryan,
By design, the Velop WiFi Mesh System should give you a reliable, full strength connection throughout your home and the challenges that you’ve encountered may have been caused by several factors. Optimizing the system will greatly help to improve its overall performance.
Moreover, we respect your decision but know that we’re just here at LinksysCares@linksys.com should you decide to use Velop system again. Our team would be happy to lend you a hand.

Good when it works, not when it doesn't.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Helped provide a broader signal in our home that has really thick walls, however, multiple times per week the light goes red and the internet is out, or it shows full WIFI signal but you can't load anything.. and then I have to go into IT expert mode and try to fix it while my family of 5 complains at how slow I am at it. It's not the most expensive mesh system we could have bought, but I had higher hopes for the $500 we put into it..

Posted .Hi,
It is important to know if the connection from the upstream device (modem/gateway) is stable since the Linksys Velop Wi-Fi 6 system is dependent on it. A system reboot can help too. Share your observations to LinksysCares@linksys.com and we'll have our escalating engineers look for a solution. Please include your contact info, link to your review, and other relevant details.

Posted .Hi, ALogicalLad,
This is totally unexpected as we designed the Velop MX12600 to provide a connectivity speeds up to a 4.2 gigabits per second, and a Wi-Fi range 8100 square feet. Make sure that the connection behind the main modem is stable, use another Ethernet cable in connecting the main node from the modem, relocate or swap the child nodes if connected wirelessly, or check if they are equipped with the latest firmware. Our Escalation Engineers would love to assist and aid in experiencing the best out of the unit. Please drop us an email with your contact details and the link to this review for reference at LinksysCares@linksys.com.
