    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stable connectionI’ve tried the Orbi and Velopsystems. The Orbi was faster, but froze several times during my trial period. Throughput on Velop was slower, but connection was consistent. My Velop throughput speeds vary more than I would like but it hasn’t been a problem so far. Furthermore, Netgear help desk has been far superior to Netgear. For that reason I recommend the Velop.

I was unable to initiate the setup from the iPad app; but, after switching to my iPhone app the setup went very smoothly. We have almost 6000 sq feet; and, three VELOPs are giving us great coverage throughout the house. Additionally, there is virtually no loss of bandwidth from the modem to each of the nodes. Well worth the investment!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not sure if it's worth the moneyThis is to respond Linksys tech support. Yes, the first thing I did after setting the 3 nodes was updating the firmware to the latest. As mentioned in my previous comment, I used the channel finder and it didn't help. The house is not that big, 2500 sq ft and 2 levels without major obstructions in either the house structure or in the house between the nodes. The 2.4 GHz network devices are still stuck with the main node, regardless of their distance and signal strength. So, I see zero intelligence in the system.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Significantly enhanced my home networkMy medium sized house has many different levels and angled rooms and using a router with range extenders worked only modestly well. The drop off of internet speed away from the hard wired connection to my lap top was significant. Often more than 80% slower. I installed a 3 pack VELOP system and now have speeds equal to those at the computer throughout the house. The improved performance of my iPhone, IPad and other wireless products is obvious and even visitors who had experience problems in the past are not excited when using my guest network. I did have to play with the placement of the unit farthest away from the base but once I found a good spot, where it connected with the other units, it worked perfectly. A great buy, and while a little pricey, I certainly would recommend the system to everyone.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Resets too oftenSystem is great when working. However, when it loses power OR when the modem goes down for awhile, it defaults to the factory settings. I need to set up the whole system from scratch. Takes 45 minutes. Linksys needs to have it retain settings so it will come back on its own.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice! Easy install and works great.Before Velop, I tried several options to improve the WIFI in my house without any significant or lasting success. I even considered hardwiring the house; instead, I thought I would try Velop's whole house option before doing anything drastic. The setup requires a bit of patience but it super easy. Plus, the location of the Velop nodes is easy to adjust if necessary. The performance difference was immediate and phenomenal. All of my devices connect quickly and easily and I get great speed on all of them. I can manage and check the status of my network and devices easily, from anywhere, through the app on my phone or on my computer. Since it was going to cost more in terms of time, trouble, and money to hardwire the house, I have seldom been more satisfied with a purchase.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Makes set up reasonableAll in all this is a good upgrade for a home or small office set up. I had a few issues at first with connections to older model products like DVDs. Linksys help line was quick to respond, but the tech was slow to understand the problem. The application for controlling the router is slick, but there are some logic gaps that you have to work through because there is no manual. Example is there is no button on the routers to link devices using WPS. However, there is a connect option that you will ultimately find by searching. I still am not sure how adjusting the priorities for connecting devices works with the advertised automatic speed detection. The system seems to work well with just two routers in a one story 3400 sq ft house. I have a wish and an idea for Linksys. Show the user how the system works on a before and after basis. It is difficult to know how much better this system is when compared to the performance of my older two channel one. In any case, I give it four stars because of the ease of set up.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Velop and Network Attached Storage DevicesI'm wondering if you can setup velop to integrate with a NAS?Also Can I use a Ethernet to USB adapter to connect a storage device to the unit? Internet is great all over the home, but without being able to backup your devices or manage those backups, I feel is a real let down. The cloud isn't for everyone and I would like to backup my computers to an external HDD right on my network, so i'm hoping that it's possible somehow. Anyways Ill see how this whole home system compares to my standalone netgear X6 in the next 30 days. I'm hoping for consistency with this unit, because netgears products have speed drops constantly which becomes very irritating

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not quite ready for prime timeBrought he 3 pack. When your ISP goes up and down these VELOPs get confused, the remotes lose their connection, you have to power cycle them to get back on the network, there is a LACK of some commonsense RF signal level tools for placement and to make this thing work. Maybe in another year. When it's working it's really good. (about 80% of the time) when it's not is a PITA to get back running again. By the fourth or fifth time of reinitializing the base VELOP unit attached to my BB cable modem, I simply gave up and took them back to Best buy for a pair of WRT3600 Linksys - these work great and have accurate reporting information on what and who is on your home network (and you can use one SSID as well with them)

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Velop is an Awesome ProductI bought the 3 node system to cover my 3100 sq ft 2 story home plus basement. Bottom line - wow!I had a WRT1900AC i was trying to use to cover the whole house, tried hi gain antenna, had tried multiple access points and repeaters in the past. None of that compared to the speed and ease of Velop. The nodes all set up easily and all connected without a hitch. I moved one of them to a wired backhaul easily. Everywhere in my home now gets great speed and connectivity. Walking around the house my iDevices move from node to node without an issue. I also went ahead and put Velop in bridge mode to split the load of numerous wired devices (TVs, game consoles, Apple TV, desktop computers, etc) and wireless devices. This works really well. Painless setup and great performance. Although you do lose a number of features on ghe Velop system like tracking what devices are connecting to what nodes, etc. That known limitation aside, for ease if setup, speed. and flexibility thus product is an easy 5.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Transformed my wi-fiBeen using the three pack system for a little more than a month. I wasn't a fan of the price tag at first but after learning more about the system and how it works I decided to make the investment. Previously I was using two routers with one in bridge mode and it cannot compare to this system. The biggest benefit to me was its ability to redirect signals to your devices automatically; something my previous setup was not capable of. I would recommend this system for anyone looking to beef up their coverage. Other routers offrer more speed but you can never fully utilize it. At close to a Gb/s with your internets full upload and download speeds, this is a great choice.Recommendations I had a little trouble setting up the second node, skipped to the third and went back to it later and had no further problems. Released and renewed the IP to resolve a conflict. I also wish the app gave more flexibility such as turning off the status light at night considering it acts as a night light in the bedroom

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Full CoverageI own an older home with thick walls. I have tried range extenders to get decent reception in the basement bedroom, but not much luck. The Velop 3-pack is a bit of an overkill for the square footage of my house, but now I have a perfect signal all through the house and onto the patio and the deck. We can run simultaneous streaming services on 2 Smart Tvs without signal degradation. I love it and(because) my wife is happy.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wi-Fi Everywhere!I've used extenders in the past to extend the range of the Wi-Fi in my house and it was like putting a band-aid on a wound. It did extend the range but the speed was not the same. I decided to try out Velop because it claimed to not only extend the range of your Wi-Fi, but also maintain the speed through out any household. It also did this without having to create a new WiFi signal like regular extenders do. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

Velop must be configured through app and not using conventional default IP address from a desktop. Can't add DHCP ranges or reserve DHCP leases. Only two LAN ports??! Really?? So I need to purchase a switch if I wanted to hardware multiple devices. I repackaged my three node kit and saved until a firmware patch or something is created to allow for better customized settings. If not I will sell it off to someone who doesn't need advanced settings like my parents or grandparents.
