Review on Linksys Velop AC1200 Dual-Band Whole Home WiFi Intelligent Mesh System, 3-Pack Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - Find Limited Stock Now! by Thomas Silva

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There's nothing quite like spending hours getting what you deserve.

So far setting up is a headache! I'm not at all impressed with how difficult these nodes are to set up. I bought a set of 3 knots to make my 3000 square feet. Feet, and the knots keep telling me they're too far apart! No more than 30 feet between them! I was hoping they would be easy to set up to cover my entire house. I even connected 2 nodes to the internet and one still doesn't connect. I start again on two other nodes. There's nothing quite like spending a few hours building and running something that should be easy! **Updated July 12**. I ended up installing all 3 nodes throughout the house. The signal seems to work much better than the range extender I had in addition to WiFi tethering. Still 2 stars for the tormenting setup. ** New update 7/15 ** I'm trying to set an IP address so everything connected to the Velop will work on my network. Until NO LUCK! Velop still defaults to whatever IP it wants to output! Taking off another star I'm not impressed with how difficult this system is to use. It's just as hard as routers! I had to enable bridge mode for it to work properly with my network, but I lost control of the connected devices. However, the nodes must be less than 30 feet apart! That doesn't cover 3,000 square feet when the nodes are so close together! I'm trying to decide if these units are worth keeping or if I should send them back. It works better as a range extender, but the pain of having them so close together gives me less coverage.

Pros
