Review: The best WiFi network I've ever had - I thoroughly researched the market before buying this product, looking at improving WiFi coverage around the house and finally decided to order the set of three units (AC6600). This system is a bit unusual and as a result some people, even those with network configuration experience, may find themselves confused when they set it up. I read several reviews complaining about what you cannot do with this system, however I found that it works very well for my needs and in my opinion it can satisfy the needs of most average users. So here is how it works: First of all, this system is not a modem and has to be connected to a device that can function as a modem, connect to the internet, acquire a public (WAN) IP address and then allocate a local (LAN) IP address to the mesh network. Most, if not all, the modems/routers supplied by the usual internet providers can do this. If you are looking at buying this product, you most likely already have a modem and WiFi router at home. To connect the Velop, just follow the incredibly basic and simple instructions. Essentially the process consists of creating an account with the manufacturer, download an app to your mobile phone or tablet (I use both the Android and Apple versions and they both work seamlessly), connect one of the three bases to the modem/router with the provided network cable and follow the process as instructed. One key element is to be patient and once the first base is configured, adding the other bases to create the mesh network is straight forward. Note that the Velop will create its own WiFi network, separate to the WiFi network provided by the existing modem/router. Most likely the modem/router will create the usual LAN with a 192.168.x.x IP range, whereas the Velop will create its own LAN with a 10.120.x.x IP range. Anyone with even just a basic networking experience knows that the two networks WILL NOT communicate with each other so there is no point in keeping, for example, a printer linked to the modem/router and a computer linked to the Velop network as you won’t be able to print. For either network to work as intended all devices have to be connected to the same network. The best thing to do once everything is configured, is to switch the old modem/router’s WiFi network off and just use the Velop network – you will never look back! It goes without saying that if the Velop has to work completely wirelessly, the bases MUST be able to communicate with one another and therefore be within their WiFi range. They do not necessarily have to communicate with the unit directly plugged into the modem/router, so long as there is a path to it, such as: base 1 connected to the modem/router, base 2 connected to base 1, base 3 connected to base 2. In this case base 2 will bridge the connection between bases 3 and 1; meanwhile all three bases will provide WiFi connection locally to them and roaming from one base to the others will be seamless. The system can work even if the bases are not in each other’s wireless range so long as you can connect them via a cable or via power line adapters. Once you have configured everything, you will have a great network able to provide high speed connection (subject to your internet provider’s maximum bandwidth). This system allows a lot of settings such as various WiFi configurations and options, parental control, device bandwidth prioritisation, remote monitoring of the home network via the app and online account, DHCP or manual settings, port forwarding (single and range), uPnP, MAC filters, separate WiFi guest network, etc.. I know there are people who are not happy about creating an account or having to use an app (though in fact you can also use a browser on any computer), however all taken into account this is by far the best network I have ever had at home and I had no problems to configure it to meet my needs. So much so that I bought another two units. I am now running a mesh network with 5 units in total, which covers the whole house with no gaps, plus a sizeable area around it. A real five-star network that you'll be happy with.
Review: Easy setup, stable, excellent throughput - WHW0303 Whole Home Started off by watching a couple of YouTube videos re the set-up of the Velop system; download the Linksys App, IoS in my case, connect the first node to your modem or router, power on follow the app instructions, set-up the other 2 nodes in the same app session, in the same room then relocate them around the home as required. Worked pretty much flawlessly (app did hang when finalizing node 2, had seen this mentioned online so closed the app, restarted app and it carried on from where it left off). Point to note, be fairly patient it does take a couple of minutes for the setup to c I used WiFi Sweetspots app to measure the device to node WiFi speed; most other apps I have tried check the broadband speed so this app was very useful. Quick note I have both IoS and Android phones; on the Android app the WiFi signal strength in dBm is displayed, not on the IoS version. My setup has Node 1 as router into BT fibre modem, node 2 hardwired via ethernet via a couple of switches Node 3 pure wireless. I now have excellent coverage over a 2 storey house; Node 1 centrally upstairs 2 nodes downstairs. In the same room as a node I now get about 480Mbps, to lowest of about 180Mbps furthest from any node. A great improvement over my previous 2.4GHz only AP. Nodes are proving to be very reliable / stable after a couple of months use. Linksys app is very good allowing you to see what is connected, rename devices so you can readily see what is connected. You can choose 3 devices to have priority; I have chosen my BT small cell, Google hub and an iPad. Also have 13+ Meross plugs and switches attached (2.4GHz only) swapped straight over no issues (I called my new network the same as the previous BT hub, and same password). Have subsequently added more and connected straight away no issues. I also used the Linksys wall mounts, a bit pricey but work well and match the units. On the back of this experience I purchased another for my son; 3 story house, Sky router and Q on the ground floor, seemless setup (1 room at the same time) then distributed 1 per floor; top floor went from 2Gbps, 20s responses to internet queries to 450Gbps, instant responses. Top floor node also connected to network switch and PCs, printer, laptops etc. Turned the Sky WiFi off, but kept the sky router as DHCP controller (easily sorted during app set-up). Works a treat. Recommended; easy setup; ethernet or bridge WiFi; 5Ghz backbone; stable; excellent throughput; good app.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I run 30m Ethernet cable to shed and connect this via a switch box, will I get wifi in the shed?**
A: I have four velop nodes, one is the DHCP server connected to the modem and then a netgear switch. The rest of my network are six more netgear switches and there more velop nodes (all connected to the home ethernet). This works for me, most of it is truly plug and play (serving up the velops needs a little time with a pretty user friendly app).

**Q: Will this work with virgina media router? if yes will i need to put virgin media router into modem mode to alow it to work?**
A: It works with Virgin media. To get all the functions put your router in Modem mode which takes under a minute. All the details were on Virgin Media's website when I did it.

**Q: How long is the length of the AC cable? Thanks**
A: Hi, Andrew. The length of the power cable is about 60 inches long. It is approximately about 64 inches if we include the adapter.

**Q: I currently have airport extreme and airport express and curious if this system would work better? has anyone upgraded from airport?**
A: I did just that. its great. The signal much better as wifi access points. I use it in bridge mode and my airport extreme remains as main router with wifi turn off. This is because my NAT drive doesn’t work automatically with a change of network setting. I don’t remember how to manually reset it, having to retain the old network setup. Also need to retain the Apple back up drive plugged into the usb port on the airport extreme for my time machine back up.
The wifi signals are max everywhere around the 5 bedrooms house.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Latest firmware fixes all of the early adopter bugs and this is now a stable and superb product.
*by S***R on 9 December 2017*

*Have updated again at the bottom* *Have now returned it, updated with reasons why below* Let me preface this by saying that I know my way around technology, I know my spanning tree from from my VLAN's, my preferred way to configure a router is via a command line, I've built Linux servers from source code (Linux From Scratch) and have been an IT specialist for over 20 years, in other words I generally know what I'm doing and am not usually beaten by technology. These devices made me want to throw them at the wall and then put the remains back into the box and ship them back to Amazon. The first node configured without a hitch, the app saw it, I configured it, the firmware updated, everything was good in the world. The second node kept getting as far as having joined the network, then the app would say it was testing to see if the location was optimal, then the whole thing would finally fail and ask me to restart the process. I tried again about 4 times, then I factory reset the second node and tried again, then I moved the node so that it was only about a foot away from the first node and tried again, every time I had the same issue. Then I thought that maybe the second node was faulty and tried to configure the third node. The third node did exactly the same and would fail when it was detecting if the location was optimal. I then factory reset the third node and reconfigured it as if it was a brand new setup, this worked fine and allowed me to update the firmware. I then factory reset it (thinking that now it had the latest firmware maybe that would fix the problems), this time it failed at roughly the same point but with a different message and the light on top was red. I tried to add it again and then had the same issue. I then tried turning off every node and restarting just the master node again. This rebooted fine just as expected. I then tried powering on the third node and adding it again, it worked! I then moved the third node to it's proper location and it still seemed to work. I then tried to add the second node again and it again failed where it did the other times, however I did note the light on top was solid blue which the things I could find online said meant it was working fine. At this time I was tired and frustrated and decided I would pick it up again in the morning. Two hours later just before I was about to go to bed, on a whim I decided to check the Linksys app, and was surprised to see all the nodes were listed, all were shown as being updated to the latest firmware and all said they were working fine. I've now done some tests and can say that the speed and coverage is awesome. 4K direct rip content streams perfectly from my plex server, I'm getting at least 200mbits from every device when testing my internet connection, local network transfers are blindingly fast, I'm getting no drop outs anywhere. Basically, setting these devices up is one of the most frustrating technology experiences I've ever had, but once you actually get them working they are truly superb. *Update 19/12/17* Other than providing whole house WiFi, one of my other requirements was to be able to wire in certain devices such as my NAS for home media serving. I kept noticing that may connections to my media server would keep disconnecting with no seeming reason, so on the assumption that maybe the node serving the top of the house was maybe having signal issues, I then purchased an additional two node Velop system so that I could place one node in the center of the house and use the other node at a future point. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference, and infact, although initially the two furthest nodes would show as connected to the new mid point node, after a few hours they would go back to being connected to the master node. After some more investigation, I kept noticing that the network connection on my media server would every now and then (a few times an hour) show "Link Disconnected" and then a minute or so later "Link Connected" on the Ethernet connection. Thinking that maybe it was the ethernet cable, I switched it out for a brand new one with no difference. I then tried it connected to a gigabit managed switch, with no difference, I then swapped the satellite node with another one to see if maybe it was the node that was faulty, no difference. I also noticed that once I disconnected the Ethernet connection from the Xbox in the living room from the node in there and configured it to just use the WiFi, suddenly the intermittent lags and drop outs in online games disappeared. I spent about 5 hours on the phone with Linksys technical support and they could barely actually understand what the problem I was trying to convey was, let alone fix it. In the end I was forced to return this product and have now installed a 3 node Netgear Orbi RK50. The Orbi isn't as fast on the WiFi, but it was literally up and running in under 30 minutes and everything just works. *Update 23/03/19* After a friend of mine deploying a three node Velop system and swearing by it with the more recent firmware updates, when I moved recently I decide to give it another try. It now is superb. I've deployed a four node mesh in my new home and it's been working awesomely. Deployment was an ease, adding a repeater node out of range of the primary node worked without a hitch and the whole system flies.
