I've got this setup only on my main level and the wifi signal reaches strongly everywhere in my basement. Strangely for this and my old Nighthawk(refused to connect to the satellites anymore no matter what I did) system it replaced neither can connect to their satellites through the floor, but these provide a much stronger signal for wifi down there than the Nighthawk system ever did. I'm not a fan of the app on these devices(in general, not specifically Linksys) and prefer the web interface which thankfully this still lets you use it. I do like that it notifies me through the app though if a node goes down (so far only caused by my daughter turning off the surge protector).

Easy setup especially if you plan ahead

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020

Style: 4500 ft, 30+ DevicesVerified Purchase

I’ve been using this system for about a month now and it’s been running very well (aside from some modifying my setup – luckily for most people noting too technical). My speeds have gone up from when I had a 4 year old LinkSys Wi-Fi router (middle of the road, $200-$250 model at the time) from about 15-18MbpS to about 30-35MbpS (we’re paying for 50MbpS – fastest available in my neck of the woods).

The largest plus is that you only have to wire one unit (your primary) to your modem. The others just need a Wi-Fi signal and act as good signal boosters. Installation is easy, too. Install the app and log in, connect the primary to your modem, plug it in and turn it on then follow the prompts in the app – this process takes about 30 minutes. Adding additional nodes is very easy, plug it in, turn it on, then add the device in the app, this takes about 10-15 minutes (most of the time is waiting for it to boot up and self-configure).

Each node also has 2 RJ-45 ports to wire a device (your primary will only have one available, though). Plan ahead with any devices that may need a wired connection.

I think my home is larger than the average home and we will be good with 4 (and it’s a little oddly set up). I think the average home will need 2-3 – but my suggestion below will help you see how many you’ll need).
I do have some suggestions, though:

First, plan ahead. Get an app that measures Wi-Fi signals (I use Netgear’s Wi-Fi Analytics – but that’s only available for Android) and measure your signal around the house (maybe even draw a map and your measurements). I wouldn’t recommend putting a node anywhere you get a signal lower than -65 dBm (we’re dealing with negatives, so -80 is worse or weaker, -60 is better or stronger). If your initial measurements show an area (or more) that is less than -70 dBm then remeasure after putting your nodes in. Install your primary then take measurements to see where they should go, using your map as a guide for weak signals (don’t worry if areas show a weaker signal, this can be normal).

Don’t be afraid to move the nodes, once they’re connected to your network you won’t need to re-add them.

Second, allow them room to breathe. Don’t put then in an enclosed area, they can overheat and can result in loss of connectivity (I had this issue – one didn’t have ventilation and was losing its signal constantly, I moved it just a few feet to an open area and it’s been a lot better).

Third, and this is just good networking practice, set any network printers to a static IP (or, preferably a reservation in the network). This will help with some stability in the long run.

Fourth, run the firmware updates as soon as you have your network set up. This is another good practice.

Their mobile app is good but missing some features that their old management software had (like usage by device). Hopefully LyynkSys will update it.

(Note: I did not rate their tech support because I did not contact them).

You need to go with it’s app step by step which took me total 15-20 mins due to IP reset with cable modem etc... basically it’s easy set up with some unplug original modem etc. minor trouble. I use the mesh router to replace original TP-link AC1200 router and extender since we have several family members need to work from home and required better bandwidth. I will keep update after using for period of time.

Tech support saves Linksys from a lot I think. Overall it works great

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021

Style: 1500 ft, 10+ DevicesVerified Purchase

Originally I had this product set up as wifi connection to my main wifi 6 node. And that wasn't great. It didn't work for certain things (like the nintendo switch. But largely the NS has a horrible wifi reception in general. So that's kind of on the NS).

I thought at first, well, I can just plug this into my ethernet in the secondary location and that should be better projection. But somehow doing this (or maybe it was coincidence) crashed my original router. I was so close to returning these products and buying another one from somewhere else. But tech support came through and really helped me out. I still don't know what caused the 'crash' that required me to reset the entire router/network system. But it's working now and I'm very thankful for their support.

Turns out the device IS smart enough to know when it should act as a node when connected to ethernet or when to use wifi. And now it's working as it should. I did not see this mentioned anywhere, but I honestly didn't look as hard as I could have. One thought if you are connecting this as an ethernet node: First, make sure you connect it using the app with wifi (just follow instructions in the app when setting up a child node). Next disconnect it, move to the hardwired location you want to use, plug the ethernet in FIRST and THEN the power. This is the only thing I did different that caused my initial crash. Again, maybe a fluke, maybe coincidence. But I'm just glad it's working now.

Bonus that this works with a newer mesh router (wifi 6 enabled). Obviously this device won't support wifi 6, but it's nice not to spend more than you need to.

Aún cuando no tengo muchos conocimientos de la instalación del producto, me fue fácil hacerlo por su simplicidad para tal efecto. Su tecnología es muy buena y no requiere ningún tipo de mantenimiento. Por otra parte aún cuando estos productos no están disponibles en el mercado mexicano, a través de esta plataforma me fue muy sencillo comprarlos y están muy de acuerdo a mis necesidades. Muchas Gracias.

The mesh router does help but the speed does decrease in the “dead” zones and is considerably expensive.

Best WiFi router ever

I have had several Wifi devices over the last 15 years and I can say that after having used the Velop dual band router, this is hands down the best device yet. It was fairly easy to install and it was worked seamlessly for the past 13 months without any glitch whatsoever. The range across my home is very very good and I am glad the whole thing works wirelessly (except for the first node connected through a RJ45 with the ISP).

Only con is the price you pay for such a good device. It is not only excessive (I paid 12400 for a pack of 2 nodes in July 2019) but one year later the price for the same 2 nodes is 16600 bucks! I wonder how is this even possible, aren't prices supposed to lower over time? Even a brand new Apple iPhone model costs lesser that it did a year ago!

Durante esta etapa de confinamiento por la pandemia, agregue este segundo nodo de Velop a mi red, para extender la cobertura de internet en mi departamento. Esto nos ha permitido a mi esposa y a mi, ubicarnos en distintas habitaciones y no tener conflictos durante nuestras conferencias de trabajo, esto sin sacrificar cobertura de internet y por ende calidad en nuestras llamadas. Instalarlo es cosa de niños, la app lo hace solito! Excelente compra! Tengo en mis planes comprar un 3er nodo para tener cobertura en el 100% de mi departamento.
