What customers say about "Key Specs"

Linksys VLP0103 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System

I’m getting 250 to 350 speed consistently and have not experienced any lagging.
WiFi speed and reliability greatly improved.
Improved the speeds in the farther locations by about 50%.
My speeds are even faster than my previous Asus AC 3100 router, was getting around 90-110mbps and now 139mbps.
Had troubles with this thing not sending out the correct amount of speed.

Linksys WHW0303 AC2200 Intelligent Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

I am now running a mesh network with 3 units in total, which covers the whole house with no gaps, plus a sizeable area around it.
First class solution for large areas, office or home, where you want no deadsports and fast simultaneous throughput - Excellent.
The 3-stations enabled us to cover a huge mansion and an 80m long garden, with no deadspots.
Since installing linksys - no black areas, even getting 200mps in the outhouse .
The kit is expensive, and don't expect it to cover the area it says.

Linksys WHW0303 AC2200 Intelligent Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

Compared to my old setup the velop units are great. They are neat (about the size of a pint glass) and easy on the eye (no antennae).
it certainly looks better than the standard router we have all got used to. It looks like a very small speaker.
The Velop is small, neat and easy enough to set up.
Decent quality and lightweight, highly recommended!
Excellent wifi connectivity, small and easy to set up.

Excellent dual band mesh Wi-Fi router!
Featuring Dual Band technology, this router outperforms the competition by providing faster speeds.
Velocity dual band mesh Wi-Fi system.
Amazing coverage. Love the dual band coverage.
Signal is more consistent with the tri band over this dual band version.

The unit automatically update when new firmware is available so I don't need to worry about new security updates.
Smart, secure and reliable service with almost max available speed.
Jump between nodes is seamless and I do like the fact that it switches between 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with a single SSID.
Large variations of wifi standarts, stable and reliable device!
Good security and speed, a lot of wifi standarts, decent quality!

What customers say about "Features"

Linksys VLP0103 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System

App has good features such as ability to rename devices connected to your network and deny them access.
The features and capabilities are awesome. Would recommend.
Easy replacement. Great features and visibility. App was easy to navigate as well.
It is one of the most innovative and fastest router in the market with many great features.
The Linksys App is user friendly and offers a wide range of features.

Linksys WHW0303 AC2200 Intelligent Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

The app for your phone (android or OS) enables you to prioritise devices, add / remove devices and even permit a guest network to ensure your data on the network is kept safe ad secure.
LED on the top of the units clearly show current status.
Via the app, I found an option to scan WiFi channels, so that the Velop would optimise itself to fit around any other WiFi networks in the area.
The range and speed is excellent, the app works very well for configuration and monitoring.
One problem is clearly the app; it kept freezing on my iPhone and required reboots (although while it worked it was fine)
