Velop Tri-Band AX4200 Whole Home Mesh Router WiFi 6 System (MX12600)

I live in two floors house and I was suffering from getting the WIFI signal to all the rooms in first floor and some areas which are away form the main router. After searching on the internet, Linksys Velop was selected based on compression with other brands. Now I'm using this mesh routers for about two month and it's working fine, though the WIFI coverage was not as per my expectation with only three Router devices from Linksys. I still have two rooms with very low or some times with no signal , perhaps with one or two more nodes from Linksys I will be able to extend my WIFI signal overall my house and garden. The Linksys app is quit good with lot of useful features. Also, Linksys customer service team was really excellent since I had some issues during the setup of my new mesh system.

Se batalló un poco para activarlos e instalarlos, creo no traían instructivo, pero funcionan perfecto!

We had 3 nodes in the house, the original Velop system that worked overall fairly well with (about 70 devices) but speeds were less then desirable. Nothing bad or anything but with the increase in streaming devices and wanting to upgrade looked around a bit at the various options. Having been using Linksys products for many many many years, looked at the newest MX series and based on reviews, had too many concerns about compatibility with some of the older devices, (mixed mode may not work), etc....So looked at these and they are much better priced and could get 2 - 3 packs (total of 6) and truly blanket the house. With the 3 nodes we had it was barely reaching the back and front of the house and nodes had to be in one or two particular spots, otherwise they wouldn't connect. Considered adding nodes, but since ours were first gen and given the cost, this package seemed to be the best option for the money. Since it was almost an identical swap, screen grabbed all the settings from the original velop, manual dns servers, dyndns, port forwarding, all the individual wifi rules, all those little things that you might forget about....and proceeded to switch everything over using the same network name (hoping that everything would just work). Started up and configured the main node (it is acting as the router) and the internet was only down for only about 10 minutes while everything was setup to provide the basic wifi. Worked like a charm. That single node seemed to blanket the house really well, even the furthest bedroom that was always problematic could get a signal. Wondering if I might have regretted buying 6 of them.....speed testing the wifi proved that this wasn't a mistake. Proceeded to setup 2 nodes downstairs and then 2 more nodes upstairs. Turns out this was a good thing. Testing the wifi upstairs with only router, there was definitely a speed impact. Also found that the wifi adapter on the computer in that room was a bit older so just used the wired connection to the node and worked great, no more having to worry about where the node is in the room either. Thought I was done and then found out that a laptop downstairs couldn't see the new network....was going what the heck??!?!?!?! So grabbed a usb wifi adapter and after a little research, some chipsets did not play well with the newer wifi6 stuff....downloaded the new driver from intel (released oct 2020 -to fix this problem).....super! Can see the network and get the same high speed connection there as well. Spent another 25-35 min putting in the settings from the old system so that all the 'stuff' we have still works, all total (w/o the laptop wifi issue) less than 2hours to setup 5 nodes. Yup only 5...still have the 6th, but haven't figured out where to even put it...the signals are so strong everywhere now, even the garage, that don't see a need. That said, paying for 6 and only using 5...still less expensive than buying the newer mx stuff. If you don't need bleeding edge tech, but want something that's new enough and just works, these are really great and honestly easier to setup than the original Velop, as those were first gen tech. They have only been running for less than 24 hours but hopefully they will provide many years of service, as the original Velop has done.

A integração com HomeKit e estabilidade é boa, mas uma das fontes de energia queimou com 3 meses de uso.

Fáciles de agregar a mi red actual, excelente comunicación y transmisión de datos, buen alcance

Ease of installation was a snap, very easy to use app, quite intuitive. The nodes all recognized each other rather quickly and on first try. Speeds I'm experiencing thus far are very acceptable in all rooms, there is not much signal drop from the incoming speed. Having the multiple Ethernet ports on each node gives this product an edge over others available. Some offer single ports, some don't have any, but this product has 3 ports on each node - that is a premium feature on a mid level priced product. The app also allows for devices to be set up in priority, which is also a nice feature - that way you can be assured that your most important devices get the prime connections with the most bandwidth. If there's one knock against this product, there is no way to manually move devices to a closer node. The app allows you to see which devices are connected to which nodes, but sometimes it makes no sense to be connected to the node furthest away while sitting mere feet from another one and not being connected to it. I question the ability of the system to 'hand off' devices from node to node as you pass through the mesh to ensure you are always connected to the closest node. Certainly you should be able to manually change the connection node if the auto feature is not functioning adequately. Seems that once a given device connects to a specific node it is stuck there and does not move around the system as you move with your device. Perhaps there is something in the settings I'm not aware of but haven't found it yet. All in all an excellent product for the price point, very good value.
