Be prepared for LOTS of tech support help. June 26, 2018 Size: 2-PackStyle: VelopVerified Purchase The idea is good, but the implementation of this mesh networking system is just terrible. I spent about $500 on these things getting enough coverage in my home. They are supposed to automatically connect to the internet and update their firmware. They all came with firmware that was incompatible with doing this AND such that they would not work when set up automatically. I had to spend several hours with tech support on the phone getting it to work as it should. But.... Once I did get it up and running and providing the WIFI coverage they claimed, I am having serious issues with the router dropping the internet for minutes at a time. Download speeds show 126Mb/s from my cable modem, but I am often getting only 6Mb/s at the actual devices in question. WHen I set a ping monitor up, it drops out for many packets at a time as packets are lost. This, when I set the ping to only ping within my actual network itself. Then there is the issue of how many units you actually need to cover things. They claim 3 units for up to 6000 square feet. My house is about half that and I needed 5 units. I got better coverage from a single standalone top end wifi system. This stuff is just overhyped and under performing. So, this is really a lousy crummy product. It doesn’t work as it should, it’s essentially engineering beta level product and not ready for actual usage. Now I’m stuck with 5 units worth about $500 and it doesn’t work and I’m faced with round two of tech support nightmare. Oh, and by the way, I’m an electrical engineer so I understand this stuff. I don’t how else to describe this stuff as junk. It doesn’t work right at all.

May 18, 2018 Size: 3-PackStyle: VelopVerified Purchase Goal: to eliminate all dead WiFi zones in my home. We have tried multiple routers and a WiFi repeater without success in obtaining 100% signal coverage. Summarized result: all dead zones within the 1600 square foot (ranch-style) home were eliminated. Some outdoor locations where I would like to also have a signal still have dead zones, pending additional tests over the coming days. House specs: 1,600 square feet, ranch-style, single story home, 4 bedrooms attached garage. House is long and narrow, adding to some signal challenges. 3 node setup. Primary node (node 1) is hard-wired via Cat 6 to home network in a guest bedroom that is in the center of the house. 2nd node (21 feet away, signal passes through one wall) is in the living room nearest to the garage wall. 3rd node (25 feet away, signal passes through 1 wall) is in 2nd bedroom for coverage to the master suite and that bedroom at far end of house. Wireless devices connected: 14. Initial Setup: I followed the 'quick guide' setup and was successful out of the gate with 2 of the 3 nodes setting up properly. I used a smart phone (iPhone) and the Linksys App to do the setup. The 3rd node struggled in the auto-configuration, resulting in a blinking red (no connection) issue and unable to be recognized by the iPhone. I did the recommended reset and the device came back online and configured properly. Be aware that there will be a step in the process where the device will go to a blinking red state when it finishes its final configuration and then come back online. I recommend setting up all 3 nodes in the same room to start so that they are configured, then moving the secondary nodes to the desired locations, observing signal strength. First test cycle scenario (5/16/18): router mode, running its own DNS server and connected to a Frontier FIOS router. Frontier's router is proprietary, so typically one has to use it, unless you decide to be creative or purchase an officially supported one. Yep, this means 2 routers on the network at present, but the IP address ranges are completely different to avoid collisions. The Linksys has faster processors than the FIOS router, so my expectation is that it will route traffic more effectively, although this is TBD. I chose this configuration as it will be common for many homes where one node serves as hard-wired, with the 2nd and 3rd nodes simply being plugged into the wall and obtaining their internet from the primary node wirelessly. Results of 5/16 test cycle: 1) Garage signal test. My first location of the 3rd node had a signal drop off that was unacceptable for use in the garage at my workbench where I am typing this review. I moved the node to a different location on the same wall and achieved an acceptable signal in the garage. My speculation is that the prior location faced the challenge of sending a signal through additional cabinetry and a garage wall where the main electrical panel for the home is located (electromagnetic interference). 2) Living room signal test. Performance acceptable. 3) Walking down the hall test. I had one brief moment (2 seconds) where the signal dropped when my iPhone switched between nodes, but it came back online. 4) All other rooms (bedrooms, bathrooms, front porch, back porch) receive an acceptable signal. 5) Unplug one of the nodes test. I unplugged a node while streaming video on a laptop and it automatically switched to the nearest node without dropping the connection. Overall, I am pleased thus far with performance.

May 28, 2018 Size: 3-PackStyle: VelopVerified Purchase I was prepared to order the first version of the Velop, but Amazon posted that a new version was going to be released in a couple weeks at a much lower price. The description did not include what the changes would be to the product, if any. As it turned out, when I received the new version, it was a smaller and less powerful mesh system than the original. Attractive and easy to set up, I was disappointed when my Ring doorbell (about 25 feet away from the main node) complained of poor signal strength. My signal strength was significantly reduced over my previous non-mesh system (Linksys WRT 1900 and a range extender) all over the house, and even with three nodes the signal would not reach our detached garage (which gets a fine signal with the range extender). We have about 2700 square feet, well within the parameters of the new Velop description (except, of course, for the garage). One of the reasons I wanted to switch to a mesh system was that my husband complained of having to switch to the range extender SSID when he's working out in the garage. One other weird problem that I had was that I could no longer connect to our Canon wireless printer from a wired Windows 10 computer on the same subnet. Both the computer and the Velop main node were plugged into our AT&T Gateway. I could, however, connect to the printer if I disabled the ethernet connection and connected the computer to the network wirelessly. But who wants to do that every time you want to print? I had no connection problems with my Apple products (iPhones, iPads, MacBook Air) when I went to print. I returned the Velop. I still may order the stronger version (now $50 more expensive than when I originally put it in my cart); I installed a two node older version for a friend and it works very well. I reinstalled my old system and once again we have a strong signal throughout and I can print from ethernet. Don't buy the extra warranty as it comes with a thee year warranty already.
