GREAT PRODUCT!................... HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had my mesh network up and running in just a few minutes.

Works great and expands my existing Linksys Velop System.

Its ok, but speeds at periphery ate disappointing.

Worst ever. 1hr set-up and mesh wifi does function for the home. After that . . . . sigh . . . just give up. 4hr later . . . Android App - don't bother, won't connect. IF it ever does - think 5 tries - it will tell you the system is offline, even though it isn't. Try GUI to manage the router - you'll never get in. I work in IT and there are not even words to describe how awful the experience is.

We had an old Linksys system that was amazing! We had it for 5+ years with no issues. We decided to upgrade to this system and we have been regretting it for an entire year! This system is super glitchy and frequently needs to be reset. Speeds are no better than our old system (even though our internet and modem both produce faster speeds).

I was looking a for a better router/mesh for my house because I had a 10-year-old router, I came across this one and more because they were on special and because they have 6E, after installing them, for 1 day they were fine after that my internet slow down and lag a lot, so I connect the old router and was good. don't bother to buy this Linksys is not as good as they were.

Upgraded my system to this when my parents needed to replace an obsolete Orbi. I upgraded from a Linksys AX3000 mesh to this. 6 hours later and multiple factory resets and trying every node as the main router and I give up. Just like others have said...app issues left and right. My favorite is trying to set it up and saying I wasn't using the internet port...but I was. My previous Linksys mesh worked great. Guess I shouldn't have tried to upgrade.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the experience others had. This router has not worked as intended since purchase been in contact with the company twice and when I follow instructions of the settings changes it would work for a day or two. I find myself reatarting the routers once or twice a day. For all the troubles I would NOT RECOMMEND this product to anyone. I previously had an Orbi wifi 5 set up and I will be pulling it out again.

I do not recommend this router, so much network issues since it was installed, it is not stable. (Network was working way better with the Spectrum provided router)

Reliability is horrible. When its working, its good, but too often,no internet connection. Customer support from Linksys has been abysmal. I'm asking for my money back.

Very sleek looking mesh nodes compared to the ones I was using from Linksys, probably 20% smaller. I had a 2 node system and it was working actually very well. But with this 3 node system Im getting way better connection and speed with the 6E connectivity on my 6E enabled devices than I was on my previous Linksysy mesh system. I have fiber so my download and upload speeds are very good. This Mesh system really makes it scream. The set up is very easy and straight forward. After unboxing all three nodes from the box and after unplugging my previous nodes set up took me about 30 minutes. All you need is the Linksys app on your phone and set up from there is simple. Just follow the instructions to a tee and you will have it done in no time flat. I placed my nodes like the instructions said, approx. 30' apart from one another and they are all connected with an excellent signal. Im super impressed with the sleek nodes and their ability to make my whole home a wifi dream. There isn't a dead spot in my house. My speed tests have been 100 to 200 Mbps more than my previous system. That makes this a worthy upgrade In My Opinion. Currently have 16 devices connected to the Mesh system and they all seem to be working well. TV's stream without issue and my Wifi 6 Chromebook is so fast when loading up web pages. I think to take full advantage of this Mesh system you need wifi 6E devices which i know are coming more and more. The next iPhone will have wifi 6e and that makes me excited now that I have this new Linksys Velop 6E mesh system. If you haven't joined in on the Mesh wifi world yet you should. It makes a ton of difference.

We can only make the main system work the satellites don't connect

Compared to my old mesh system, the Velop Pro 6E really took my network to a new level. Linksys claims that the Velop Pro 6E is capable of coverages up to 9,000 square feet and is intended for 4+ bedroom homes. My house is just about 3,000 square feet with five bedrooms, and during my test of the Velop Pro 6E system, I had no coverage issues whatsoever. Set up was as easy as it comes. Download the Linsys app, install it on the iOS device, run it, follow the directions, and set up the network. This was the fastest wireless network setup I have installed in my home. I'm used to spending quite a bit of time waiting for firmware updates, boot up times, and running through the WiFi wizards. The Velop system cut that time substantially. I don't think it took me more than ten minutes to get everything up and going. In practice, the Velop Pro 6E is the best mesh network to grace my house. It plays nice with my Verizon modem, something that my last mesh network struggled with at times. It is fast in every corner of my house, sometimes reaching speeds that are 50-60 MBPS faster than my old system. I've noticed a difference in video streaming, downloads, and connectivity to the internet. Over the last week I've not had one single issue. No reboots, restarts, dropped internet, nothing. The Velop Pro 6E just works. Highly recommended.

Had these for 2 months. my wifi is constantly down nodes will randomly disconnect. customer service is no good, after several attempts of rebooting and moving nodes around no luck. waiting for a lvl 2 tech from velop to call.

It is not good the speed drops drastically when you go away from the node

The system works great, but if you have problems with a malfunctioning unit, customer service is non-existent, unknowledgeable, and you will not receive assistance. Purchase a eero wifi pro 6E system, as I did. I've had no problems with their equipment or customer service, amen!

I purchased this as an upgrade to the AC2200 mesh system. Worked for a day. Exchanged it for another brand. This has been my second linksys mesh system that has failed on me.

I wanted to love this Wi-Fi system, mainly because of the fact that it leverages the new 6E protocol and wanted to see if it really could go toe to toe with traditional Ethernet speeds (and dare I say reliability??) However, I was quite disappointed in this system. There really is no excuse now and days for Wifi to be hard to set up, especially a mesh system like this. Like many others have expressed, the configuration was a pain. For someone who is not too tech savvy, it would've been a call to support. The first time trying to set up the system, it just would not pick up the other two nodes, so I just retried the steps again by closing the app and retrying. Same thing, so then I power cycled the two other nodes that needed to be added, force closed the app, re did it, and finally it took. But then came trying to update the firmware... The first-time updating firmware, the app glitched out. It said "installing" but it never made any progress after 20 minutes, which I know is way too long for a simple firmware update to a home router system. I once again, force closed the app, and re-tried and this time it worked. Besides setup not being so easy going, the app is terribly buggy besides firmware update woes and setup pain. Even now as I write this review, every time I try to open the Linksys app, it says that my router is not connected to the internet and there is no connection to the cloud. Yeah.. that's not true. Because when I log in via a web browser on my computer to the default gateway admin console, everything is normal and checks out. I of course rebooted the modem, and the main node (the one which apparently cannot connect to the internet), but still, the app refuses to work. I know I can get it working again by probably either reinstalling it or just doing a factory reset, but that's ridiculous. For a $500 product, that absolutely should not be the case, the app should just simply, work. The customization you can do is extremely limited in the app as well. If you want to do any true modification to really anything to your Wifi settings besides just changing the password and doing some basic reporting tasks, you have to use the gateway via a browser. It just adds another layer of complexity to a system that I am pretty sure was not designed to be complex. I would much rather have the settings more readily available in the app, but I also understand wanting to make the app simpler. My last gripe is the coverage when spreading out the 3 nodes. Before this, I had another 3-node mesh system, I placed the nodes in the same exact spots as the old system, one in the main office, one in the living room, one in the garage. Doing that setup with my old system yielded great coverage, even in my garage which is downstairs and outside a hallway. However, I have no clue what happened with this system, but placing the nodes in the same spot and even trying to fuss around with the one in the garage with positioning, it just BARELY holds a connection to the one in the living room. Like it is hanging on by a single thread. The speeds in the house go from 520/25 down to 3/.2 when in the garage. I will just say that with my old system, I would at get at least 20/3 in the garage. Very disappointing that whatever sensor this device uses to connect to other nodes is weak. Also... only one ethernet port ;(. I understand wanting to force Wifi but... one ethernet port just isn't enough especially if this is designed for 50+ devices ya know? Besides the woes above, I will tell you, the speeds are fantastic when you are in a good coverage zone. They really do compare to Ethernet speed, almost an exact match. The reliability is good, I have had some slow connections but that could be a multitude of reasons, same with some dropped internet, most like ISP fault. I haven't had any issues with it negotiating between 2.4/5/6 GHZ with devices, which is great. I appreciate that device prioritization is off by default and even tells you that it is not needed if your bandwidth is high enough to avoid issues. I do hope that as time goes on, this product improves via Firmware and also app updates, but right now, I just do not see the price justifying the means here. Room to improve, but it is a great alternative to Ethernet in a house.

Despite 12 hours on the Linksys support hotline - manual fw upgrades, multiple primary swap outs - no luck. Returned it.
