Linksys Velop Triband AC2200 Mesh Wi-Fi 5 Router,MU-MIMO,Enhance Speed up to 2.2 Gbps per Router and Coverage up to 3000 sq ft, Replaces Router and WiFi Boosters,40 + Devices,WHW0302-AH(Pack of 2)

I bought this to replace my Apple AirPort Extreme. I got the 3 units version. With 3 units it did not cover 2000 sqft even though it claims to cover much more. I have a 300 MBps connection and this could not provide speeds over 100 MBps.Their India support team shouted at me and were rude. After multiple followups they connected me to an US team who diagnosed one of the units is malfunctioning. And asked me to send it back to Amazon for a replacement. It took 3 months for them to acknowledge it. Obviously, Amazon replacement wasn't possible as it was way past their return policy and hence no replacement was made.I have gone back to the AirPort Extreme as working with Linksys/Belkin is very hard. I had spent over 10 hours on the phone and no proper followups were done. They don't have any support for the product in India so buy at your own risk.

Pros:- The mesh works much better than multiple range extenders. I used this to replace a router plus two extenders and the network speed more than doubled.- Great app to configure the network - makes it super easy.Cons- The range of the nodes is not all that it is cracked up to be - similar to that of extenders. Needed three nodes for an 1800 sq ft apartment. Can't see how it would work in the advertised range of 4000-6000 sq ft unless there are very few brick walls.- Very expensive.

UPDATE AFTER 7 DAYS USAGEIt heats up, hot to touch, and device always connects to 2.4 GHz for no apparent reasons (One Plus 7T, Redmi K20 Pro). Look for alternative like Net Gear Orbi RBR20 (Triband, 2200 Mbps)Having used over 30 WiFi routers including Google OnHub, Apple Airport Extreme, Tenda Mesh WiFi (MW6 & MW5S), Amplify Instant Mesh WiFi, Samsung Smartthings Mesh WiFi and Orbi RBK50 (3-pack), this Linksys Velop WHW0101 AC1300 (1-pack) is the simplest to set up and most intuitive App. My main mesh wifi is Netgear Orbi (RBR50+RBS50+RBS20) and this Linksys Velop AC1300 is my secondary router for my personal use in our bedroom. See Test Results (throughput and device internet speed). Heats up but tolerable. You can login to Web: linksyssmartwifi.com for set up and management of you do not like to use App. As shown in speed test, this router atleast can handle 200 Mbps without any issue.

Got it just today. Easy enough to set up. Airtel Fibre Optic customers should connect via Ethernet between router and the Node. The setup manual provided misguides you there. So I had a problem setting up, but once I did... the results were wonderful. Getting 30-40 Mbps in every corner of the house including previously dead zones. Yet to experience other features. Will update review later.

I have an Airtel Xstream Fiber connection of 300mbps. If I use Nokia router provided by Airtel I get speed of 304mbps over 5ghz WiFi signal. But Linksys Velop initially gave me only 170mbps over 5ghz WiFi but if am connected on LAN using velop it gives proper speed of 345mbps but on WiFi even if you are near to router speeds drops by 45%. I spoke to Airtel they refuse to help for Velop setup. I spoke to linksys technical support team and they said the speed will be half of what you get from ISP some concept full and half duplex on WiFi they were trying to explain a layman in technical terms. But later I found out by doing trial and error using web browser to amend wifi setting and change power transmit to Asia India from Asia china. It started giving me full speed in 5ghz better than my Nokia router. WiFi signals are good across the all area of my apartment and the additional node provides me 80 to 102 mbps speed if I am near the router and little away from router it gives only 25 to 30 mbps. Overall recommendation you can buy this expensive product. Both Airtel and Linksys don’t provide proper guidance or support for the router set up, but Linksys customer support kept following up on the issue which I liked the after sales support of linksys. They asked me to wait for 2 more days and additional node router is smart router to learn and improve speed. Hope it improves else will do LAN wiring. Further I would suggest investing in LAN CAT 6 wiring and buy ₹3000 router that support 5ghz and place it in the center of your apartment for even speeds. Hope this review will help you in making a sound decision. But one good thing is that now I have wifi coverage every where and my apartment is of 1500 sqft.

This router is located just outside on the top of my bedroom door and I get very weak signal inside my bedroom. At one end of my bedroom which is exactly the diagonal to the router and I don’t even get signal in that corner. Previously, I was using MI router and still I was able to get signal inside my bedroom. This router cost about five times of my older router and still not able to provide signal inside my bedroom this has to be the worst range in a router.

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!

I have been cheated!!The box came was not sealed but device came in clean package, i thought its new, but nope!, It was already opened and the device keeps on hanging or restarting! I tried updating the Firmware but did not help! I don't know what to be done with this, what i can say is simply I have been [email protected] , please check these item's condition before selling.

No funciona mal, pero no hace lo que promete. Tengo un kit de 3 en una casa de dos plantas y arriba me llegan 35 mb de los 96 que tengo junto al router principal. Los dispositivos a veces se conectan en 2.4 ghz estando junto al repetidor y a veces se conectan a otros repetidores en otra habitación o incluso al más lejano. Debería poderse elegir a mano a que repetidor conectar y debería, en un caso como el mío ir sobrado y pierdo un 60% de velocidad en el piso de arriba de una casa de 180m2 con tres repetidores. A cambio, es estable, pero no es rápido. Lo hubiese devuelto pero perdía las tasas aduaneras así que me lo tuve que quedar 😕

Compre esta marca porque se usa con una aplicación desde el teléfonoEs intuitiva y fácil de usarY lo compré, para hacer la llegar de Wifi a lugares difíciles a donde no tenía cobertura de mi módem originalDe hecho compre 2 y me salieron estupendos así que mi hermano compro rambien

El peor sistema mesh que he comprado, se desconecta constantemente se tiene que reconfigurar y funciona por 1 o 2 días y de nuevo mal, compré 6 equipos y solo funciona bien el que está conectado directo al router, además el servicio de ayuda de Linksys muy malo he mandado varios reportes y ninguna respuestaOtro punto importante que estos equipos mesh a diferencia de otras marcas no pueden ser usados sin la modalidad de access point para que el router de servicio de internet sea el equipo que administre la red y todos los equipos estén en la misma subred

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.

El producto es fácil de configurar pero se desconecta cada 5 minutos. Los Nodos los tengo a no más de 3 metros cada uno de distancia. La velocidad es pésima (1Mbps) de los 350 que tengo contratados con TotalPlay. Estuve 3 horas en soporte técnico y no me supieron resolver el problema. Agradezco a quien me atendió la llamada por su paciencia, pero definitivamente el producto es un asco. No lo compren. Las trabas son que no pueden estar en diferentes pisos los Nodos, a no más de 5 mts de distancia cada uno etc etc.
