High build quality, Compact design, Each node has all of the capabilities as any other node, Two ethernet ports per node including remote nodes
Nodes are not wall mountable by design (desk standing only), Would like to have more ethernet ports per node, Placement test is agonizingly long, The price tag
The setup process is simple, and the Velop mobile app works very well, This dual-band Velop system is similar in price to other dual-band systems, You can add dual-band Velop units to an existing tri-band Velop network, and vice-versa

Supports Ethernet backhaul, Can use with triband Velop units, Easy to set up and manage, Hundreds cheaper than triband version, Great performance at the right range
Linksys account and Android/iOS app are required, Speeds suffer without Ethernet backhaul or dedicated backhaul band, A single node probably isn't worth it
