With Velop, Linksys offers a very user-friendly system than can cover your entire house in a fast WiFi-network. The biggest advantage is the ease of use. The multi-language interface makes building a network a pleasant experience, even for the non-experie...
If your home is on more than one floor, or has a tricky dead-spot, then the simple set-up process and solid performance of the Velop could be the ideal solution for improving Wi-Fi reception throughout your home. The problem is the price: it's more expens...

Extended WiFi range compared to a single router, Easy step-by-step setup via smartphone, Smartphone access to advanced settings, Attractive, unobtrusive styling, Great value in two-unit pack
Performance still eclipsed by NETGEAR Orbi, Only two Gigabit Ethernet ports on each unit, No USB ports, Kitguru Says: With just two satellites, the Linksys Velop is much quicker in a normal-sized house than with three, and the price is very competive, but
The Linksys Velop has redeemed itself a little with this retest. If you're not after the fastest performance across the board, the £249.99 two-unit Velop pack is great value for providing decent coverage across an entire house. It's worth noting that even...
Velop's promise of networking simplicity doesn't hold up so well when it comes to the fiddly nature of positioning the various nodes. Linksys is right to offer some advice during the setup process because, as with all range extenders, positioning can seri...

Extended WiFi range compared to a single router, Easy step-by-step setup via smartphone, Smartphone access to advanced settings, Attractive, unobtrusive styling
Performance eclipsed by NETGEAR Orbi, Relatively expensive, Only two Gigabit Ethernet ports on each unit, No USB ports, Kitguru Says: The Linksys Velop uses mesh technology to provide larger WiFi coverage than a standalone router, but it's nowhere near as
The Linksys Velop isn't all bad. The styling is nicer than the Orbi's, and the smartphone-driven setup makes it accessible to a less tech-savvy audience. But otherwise NETGEAR has the jump on Linksys. The Orbi's performance is in a different league to the...

Easy setup, Small footprint, Attractive design
Limited ethernet ports per node, Slightly disappointing speeds, Expensive
The Linksys Velop does a great job of making wireless networking easy and hassle-free but it's rather pricey, and a lack of ethernet ports and slightly lacklustre speeds may put off businesses with more advanced needs...
Ultimately, it's this performance and the high price that make the Velop a less tempting purchase than its competitors. If you can get by with two access points and want to replace your existing router, the Netgear Orbi has more features and better perfor...
The Linksys Velop delivers fast Wi-Fi speed over a large area. Its hardware is well designed, and the system is generally easy to use
The system is expensive and lacks basic settings as well as common features. An account is required for its mobile app to work and its parental control feature is poorly designed
The Velop is an effective mesh Wi-Fi router, but it doesn't have a competitive edge due to its high cost and limited feature set...
Easy, app-based setup, Elegant design, Fast Tri-band, AC wave-2 Wi-Fi
Only 2 Ethernet ports, no USB, No control over Wi-Fi networks, No access to advanced settings, Poor value
Yes, if you want your home Wi-Fi to be as reliable as possible, and don't want to think about anything else, we recommend the Linksys Velop. Its ease-of-use, excellent Wi-Fi coverage and long warranty and support period go a long way toward justifying. It...
Bulkier form-factor, Not as good as tri-band system
Despite only scoring the runner-up slot in the results shown above, we still wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Linksys Velop AC3900 Mesh Wi-Fi system.Across the board, it's a reliable, easy-to-setup and feature-rich mesh Wi-Fi system. Unless you're prime...
