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

The pricing could be a little more competitive, when you consider that the triple pack is available in the US for $449.99, or $597 in Australian Dollars. Even factoring in GST, that takes us to about $660, which is still well short of the $799.95 asking p...

Back at the end of 2016, I reviewed the Amplifi HD from Ubiquiti. That being my first look at Mesh Wi-Fi, it blew me away at the promise this technology holds. To this point, I have now tested three additional systems, and honestly, the Linksys Velop is...
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...
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...

Fast Wi-Fi 6 support,Great area coverage,Plenty of ports,
Not cheap, Not compact, App can be sluggish,
The Linksys MX4200 Velop is a superb choice if you want to upgrade your home Wi-Fi to a pro-level mesh network without paying over the odds. Coverage, speeds and the ease of the setup process all impress, though it's perhaps not the very best choice out t...
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...
