Review: Cutting edge Wifi 6 router - Intro - Setting up this device was a very straight forward. Turn it on, download an app, follow the guide and you're online. Obviously being a WiFi 6 (AX) device there is plenty to talk about when it comes to it's coverage and speed. To give a quick caveat, I'm sure this device could achieve much faster speeds with purely WiFi 6 clients. There are not many available so these tests were performed in a mixed environment. From a Apple Watch Series 3 (2.4Ghz WiFi 4 N standard) to an iPhone 11 (5Ghz WiFi 6 AX standard) and a couple of AC WiFi 5 standard laptops. Testing - when my iPhone 11 is in the same room as the Velop router it gets 705Mbps, a Lenovo laptop with an AC wifi adapter I get 866Mbps. Further away on the ground floor my iPhone gets 300-400Mbps on average, the laptop gets 400-700Mbps. The WiFi signal barely manages to go beyond our outer house walls. I am certain this is because our house is made of traditional stone on the outside and pretty solid masonry on the ground floor between rooms. Explains the above speed drop off for the iPhone. So I'll likely need a second device in/or near our conservatory to get garden WiFi. As a baseline reference; with an older Asus RT68U AC router this is significantly better coverage for a single router. Overall I am very impressed. Device Management - is a different kettle of fish. You can use a web browser and login to it. However, it's very keen you use the Linksys App instead. The app does it's job well. It's geared towards novice users who just want to set it up. Speaking of which the app device setup flow was a piece of cake. Very simple UI with minor user input, it's impressive how things have changed. The apps main purpose seems to be more about current status and info, than making any significant change to its operation. It does lack information on device connectivity speed (I had to use a separate app for testing mobile to router connection speeds). It is also missing control which of the tri-bands have specific WiFi traffic on. For instance I'd like my iPhone on one 5Ghz band at WiFi 6 speeds, the other 5Ghz band in mixed mode for WiFi 4 + 5 speeds. 2.4Ghz for any device that needs to defer to it for better range. This is technically managed by the routers own algorithms as is the channel selection for each to be broadcast. I appreciate that is a selling point of this device - self management be it a mesh setup or a single node. I just like to make my own technical decisions. Ultimately for the price of the device it does give you a very technically sophisticated device that operates very effectively. For said price, I'd have expected an expert mode, allowing me to change what I want though. Summary - I think the product itself is excellent and does exactly what I needed it to do; make sure all our devices get WiFi and the router has plenty of resources in reserve to manage all the traffic we throw at it. I did originally have the Velop WHW0303 3 pack (WiFi 5 AC Tri-band version) but wanted more wired ports for our Hive, office desktop computer etc. WiFi 6 also future proofed us and because it's physically bigger allows for more antennas for each one of the three WiFi bands. I'd like to see Apple Homekit support as the cheaper WHW0303 has it advertised as 'Coming Soon'. So I'd hope that extends to their top product too. Also expose more control in the app for the routers features.
Review: Easy to set up and great signal strength with no black spots - Whilst this is an expensive mesh solution, it has worked perfectly so far and done exactly what it is intended for - creating a single network that covers our house. We have an old property with a newer extension and previous BT Home Hub had areas it would not reach, and we had to use two networks to get coverage downstairs, and upstairs was always extremely patchy. The Linksys app worked really well and guided the set up using our Home Hub 4 as the modem. When plugging in the parent node, the app says use any port on your modem, but it actually has to be an ethernet port - the WAN port will not work. It just took a minute or two to connect, choose a new network name and it was a simple as that. The second node connected without a problem and the app helped check that the position upstairs was suitable. The third node for our extension has a wired connection, as we put in a Cat 5 cable during the extension build. Again, this was simple to set up - just switch on the node (close to the parent) and add it to the network as a wireless node. Move it to your desired location and use your Cat 5 cable to attach one of the the node's ethernet ports to a parent node ethernet port. It's a simple as that, as the system automatically will switch the new child node to wired set up. All 3 nodes now cover our 4 bed house and single story extension in a unified network, which is great for mobile wifi calling (very poor mobile network), shifting where you work, wireless printing etc. The speed of the wifi has noticeably improved with the tri-band too, which is a bonus, though it wasn't that bad previously. One final adjustment was to change the Home Hub configuration via the online Home Hub Manager to disable its wifi, just so there was no contention with two networks. It's now just working purely as a modem and seems fine to do so. Overall, very happy with the investment in this. It may be pricier than some, but so far no complaints at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Latest firmware fixes all of the early adopter bugs and this is now a stable and superb product.
*by S***R on 9 December 2017*

*Have updated again at the bottom* *Have now returned it, updated with reasons why below* Let me preface this by saying that I know my way around technology, I know my spanning tree from from my VLAN's, my preferred way to configure a router is via a command line, I've built Linux servers from source code (Linux From Scratch) and have been an IT specialist for over 20 years, in other words I generally know what I'm doing and am not usually beaten by technology. These devices made me want to throw them at the wall and then put the remains back into the box and ship them back to Amazon. The first node configured without a hitch, the app saw it, I configured it, the firmware updated, everything was good in the world. The second node kept getting as far as having joined the network, then the app would say it was testing to see if the location was optimal, then the whole thing would finally fail and ask me to restart the process. I tried again about 4 times, then I factory reset the second node and tried again, then I moved the node so that it was only about a foot away from the first node and tried again, every time I had the same issue. Then I thought that maybe the second node was faulty and tried to configure the third node. The third node did exactly the same and would fail when it was detecting if the location was optimal. I then factory reset the third node and reconfigured it as if it was a brand new setup, this worked fine and allowed me to update the firmware. I then factory reset it (thinking that now it had the latest firmware maybe that would fix the problems), this time it failed at roughly the same point but with a different message and the light on top was red. I tried to add it again and then had the same issue. I then tried turning off every node and restarting just the master node again. This rebooted fine just as expected. I then tried powering on the third node and adding it again, it worked! I then moved the third node to it's proper location and it still seemed to work. I then tried to add the second node again and it again failed where it did the other times, however I did note the light on top was solid blue which the things I could find online said meant it was working fine. At this time I was tired and frustrated and decided I would pick it up again in the morning. Two hours later just before I was about to go to bed, on a whim I decided to check the Linksys app, and was surprised to see all the nodes were listed, all were shown as being updated to the latest firmware and all said they were working fine. I've now done some tests and can say that the speed and coverage is awesome. 4K direct rip content streams perfectly from my plex server, I'm getting at least 200mbits from every device when testing my internet connection, local network transfers are blindingly fast, I'm getting no drop outs anywhere. Basically, setting these devices up is one of the most frustrating technology experiences I've ever had, but once you actually get them working they are truly superb. *Update 19/12/17* Other than providing whole house WiFi, one of my other requirements was to be able to wire in certain devices such as my NAS for home media serving. I kept noticing that may connections to my media server would keep disconnecting with no seeming reason, so on the assumption that maybe the node serving the top of the house was maybe having signal issues, I then purchased an additional two node Velop system so that I could place one node in the center of the house and use the other node at a future point. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference, and infact, although initially the two furthest nodes would show as connected to the new mid point node, after a few hours they would go back to being connected to the master node. After some more investigation, I kept noticing that the network connection on my media server would every now and then (a few times an hour) show "Link Disconnected" and then a minute or so later "Link Connected" on the Ethernet connection. Thinking that maybe it was the ethernet cable, I switched it out for a brand new one with no difference. I then tried it connected to a gigabit managed switch, with no difference, I then swapped the satellite node with another one to see if maybe it was the node that was faulty, no difference. I also noticed that once I disconnected the Ethernet connection from the Xbox in the living room from the node in there and configured it to just use the WiFi, suddenly the intermittent lags and drop outs in online games disappeared. I spent about 5 hours on the phone with Linksys technical support and they could barely actually understand what the problem I was trying to convey was, let alone fix it. In the end I was forced to return this product and have now installed a 3 node Netgear Orbi RK50. The Orbi isn't as fast on the WiFi, but it was literally up and running in under 30 minutes and everything just works. *Update 23/03/19* After a friend of mine deploying a three node Velop system and swearing by it with the more recent firmware updates, when I moved recently I decide to give it another try. It now is superb. I've deployed a four node mesh in my new home and it's been working awesomely. Deployment was an ease, adding a repeater node out of range of the primary node worked without a hitch and the whole system flies.
