    These got returned. The wifi was strong but slower. Barely topped out my old Google wifi. Spent less for a to link mesh with better results.

      Hi,

      The Linksys Velop Mesh WiFi 6 System can deliver Wi-Fi speed of up to 600 Mbps (for 2.4GHz), 1200 Mbps (for 5GHz), and 2400 Mbps (for 5GHz). You may try to use the channel finder from the Linksys app and update the firmware on each node to optimize the performance.

      For further assistance, you can reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com and share more details with the link to this review for our reference.

    Not Cellular WiFi Compatible

    This device will not work with a cellular hotspot such as the Netgear Nighthawk using the hot spot’s ethernet connection even though the ethernet out gives me great speed and stability connected to my iPad. Wish this was made clear on the product information page. I am now out of the return period and am stuck with expensive door stops. Linksys should include this on their product page and online information links.

    Compatibility Issues

    I was using this system with an Arris S33 modem for many months, without an issue. Along came a firmware update and the routers constantly lost their internet connection. After months of troubleshooting I gave up and replaced it with an Arris Mesh router. Lesson is: This system clearly has compatibility issues with certain other brands of modems.

    Not as described, buyers beware. The mesh range is poor even when it says it’s rated up to 6000 square feet plus the system has trouble multitasking. The internet on the tv could be working fine but then your phone or tablet takes minutes trying to understand where to direct the signal.

      Hi,

      We appreciate your honest feedback as we continue to improve our products. The Linksys Velop AX4200 can cover up to 2700 square feet per node combined with WiFi 6 that sends and receives multiple streams of data simultaneously. To avoid intermittent connection, make sure to place the node away from possible interferences
      Nonetheless, our Escalation Engineers would love to help. Just email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with your contact details and the link to this review as our reference.

    I was sold the wrong merchandise. Sold home equipment when I needed office equipment.

The sales person knew the items needed to be for a business, discussed in details our issues.

    Product is amazing! The service was awful! Was told by salesman this product is not recommended and I should buy a different system... He said you will need to buy the service plan because it will break that's for sure. I felt stupid spending 500.00 bucks on a product that best buy doesn't endorse but too embarrassed to take it back.... I works like a charm and that guy should be fired☹️

    Complete junk, worked fine for about a month and now the unit just randomly throws a red light and stops routing a few times a day. It’s not my internet router, I only have to reboot the main Linksys unit and then it’s back up for a few.

      Hi Chad,

      We truly understand and respect your feedback. Rest assured that this is not the expected behavior of the Linksys MX12600 especially when properly setup and when the firmware is up to date. Moreover, our 2nd Level Team wants to know more about the challenges you had with the system. You may email us at LinksysCares@liksys.com with your contact information and the link to your review for our perusal.

    During my installation the Geek Squad member suggested to my wife that an Eego system would be better and is actually $300 cheaper than the Linksys. He mentioned that he would take the Linksys back to the store and get me my refund. This still has not happened and no one can tell me anything about this credit.

    After a year of struggling with this system I have given up and purchased a new mesh system. Daily reboots are routine, and the app is terrible...usually have to go in through the web using my laptop to complete even the easiest task. Super disappointed.

    This is an amazing upgrade. I installed in a large house and I have an acre of land and I am able to get WIFI outside. Easy set up and never had issues so far with connection and speed. If you are looking to purchase a wifi system that connect to outdoor TV, Gaming, etc.. I would purchase. No lag when playing my Xbox and PS games. And streaming is fast since I hooked the system up.

    I was in the market for a new WiFI system and thought I would give Velop a chance as I upgraded from my AC Orbi system. Boy was a in for a headache speed and performance are not consistent with this system, I quickly returned it and gave Orbi a second chance whit the AX4200 (I will write a review for that one).

      Hi ScottH,

      This is totally not the kind of Wi-Fi experience we'd like you to have! We can stabilize the connection from the unit by making sure that it runs the latest firmware, and the connection behind the main router is stable. Our Escalation Engineers would love to help you out and learn what's causing this to happen before setting it aside. Please send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our easy reference.

      We'll wait for your updates.
