But you'll experience lower internet speeds on secondary nodes with all dual-band systems
It takes roughly 30 minutes to set up all three Velop nodes
And most of that is staring at progress bars
There is no easy way t
No 2.4GHz/5GHz channel separation
Slow speeds at distance
Ridiculously high price for the 3-pack
Mixed performance
Lacks antivirus protection
Expensive
Limited parental controls
Lacks anti-malware protection
Nodes lack LAN ports
Only two ethernet ports
No USB port for storage or printer support
Can only be set up using an app
Lacks a USB port
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
Quite large
Not as fast as some Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems
2-factor authentication isn't available yet
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
Lacks USB ports
Does not support dedicated band control
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
Inconsistent results during lab tests
Lacks USB port
App Only Interface
Very Expensive
Only Two Ethernet Ports per Unit
The Backhaul Traffic Handling Needs To Be Improved

Did Linksys' Velop mesh wireless system live up to its promise of total and complete coverage to every corner of your home seamlessly under one SSID? In a very basic sense, I would say so. Each node's sleek twisted tower design is thoroughly modern; its m...
