Customers are saying

Customers love the Velop Plug-In AC1300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Mesh Extender's ease of use and the improved Wi-Fi range and signal strength it provides. Many appreciate its performance in extending coverage, particularly in previously difficult areas. While some found the price high and instructions slightly lacking, the positive experiences with setup and compatibility outweigh these concerns for most users.

    Set up a mesh system a month or so ago. Overall happy with the results. Adder this smaller plug in node and the speeds are MUCH slower than the standard nodes. Works for hard to reach places (like the garage, where any wireless connection is slowed down) but the benefit is the wifi range; not the connection speed with this node.

    Once you get this set up, it works great. The setup process however was a huge pain. Never before have I had to call support to help me get a networking device paired with a router. The setup process I would say is the only negative I would give this product, but as mentioned above, once it does get set up, it works great and allows me to extend the range of my mesh router.

    I trying to do this with one of my current nodes by moving it around, but it was really inconsistent and I thought that I may have had a bad node. I purchased this to get the extra area and it has worked very well. In fact while setting up it, a firmware upgrade was done and the flaky nodes seems to be much more stable. So far, so good. One other positive, is this is more discrete that the mini towers and their power cords. (Makes the decorator happier).

    Extending my Velop mesh network

    I got this to extend my existing Velop mesh network, but to avoids paying almost double for another node. However, looking back at it, I should shelled out the $179 for the extra node, as it would probably have made for a stronger and more stable connection. Product is not bad, but I have to restart it every so often as the signal becomes unusable.

    Before I got the Linksys-Velco Plug In AC1300 Band Wi-Fi Mesh Extender I could not get WiFi on my Sun Porch much less outside or in the garage. We plugged the Linksys Velop Plug AC1300 Dual-Band and WIFi is everywhere (Upstairs, Sun Porch, and even in the garage way from the house. This a great addition to your modem.
