100% sure this one is better

First we went to Best Buy and spoke to a store associate about the different options. We were interested in another brand; However, the employee explained the advantages of the Linksys Velop mesh system. We have reviewed and researched the review. I chose this product and was very satisfied. In our house on 2400 SF there are now no problems with the wifi. We have two home offices at opposite ends of our home. My husband used extension cords in his office and kept complaining. Now no problemโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad

Great addition to my range for my pool area

I've had a Velop 3 Tower Mesh at home for at least a year. It was fantastic and no problem. Excellent WiFi throughout the house. My problem area is the pool area under my main area. There's a pretty good distance. Ethernet over the power line doesn't work because the pool house is on a different channel. I connected a Velop expansion node and set it up quickly with an amazing app. This completely solved the problem. My speed is about 50 megabytes down and 10 up, which is quite enough for webโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • So far so good

Good idea, but the implementation of this mesh network system is just terrible. I spent about $500 on these things to get enough light in my house. They should automatically connect to the internet and update their firmware. They all came with firmware that was incompatible with this one AND in such a way that they didn't work with the automatic setup. I had to spend several hours with tech support on the phone to get it working properly. But. After getting it to work with the claimed WiFiโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

***UPDATE 04.08.2020***

update; 08/04/2020Everything is as good as my previous two updates. However, in the last few weeks, the WiFi has dropped out about 2-3 times a day. I'm more inclined to believe that the reason lies in the cable modem. I spoke to customer service at both Linksys and Optimum, my ISP. I think they're going to switch to fiber soon and I have a bad feeling I'm in really serious trouble. I will keep you up-to-date. My old Linksys wireless router (and extender) which I would say is around 2-3 yearsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • quality

Nice, easy to set up but I sent it back.

I was ready to order the first version of the Velop, but Revane said the new version would be out in a few weeks at a much lower price. The description did not indicate what changes, if any, would be made to the product. When I received the new version, it turned out to be a smaller and less powerful mesh system than the original. Attractive and easy to set up, I was disappointed when my Ring doorbell (about 25ft from the main hub) complained of poor signal strength. My signal level wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Useless features

Absolute Nightmare works well with computers and accessories

Most people who install it seem to be successful, but a significant minority will never get it to work properly. Unfortunately, I belong to this minority of users. I initially bought 3 packs and while they seemed to work well, due to the odd layout of my house I decided to buy 2 more packs, bringing the total to 5 knots. First the good: Installation was easy and intuitive. The Linksys phone app is very convenient and easy to use. The WIFI COVERAGE (as opposed to internet delivery) is perfectโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rugged Surface
Cons
  • Legacy Model

good layout but not strong enough. Return.

so here is the situation: apartment on the 2nd floor. Concrete floor 3.5 inches. I've configured and deleted many routers in the past (probably dozens). Configuration was easy: download the liksys app. Create a Linksys account, define some parameters and the node will boot up. Each node's reboot time is twice that of a standard router, but I don't count this as there are only a few times you actually need to reboot the router. The good part is over. So: I placed 1 node on the upper floor (nextโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I don't like it very much, everything is fine
