Linksys Velop AC Tri-Band Mesh WiFi System (WHW0301)

Easy to install with Linksys app. Once you catch the main's signal, do the channel optimization on your app. This clearly solves a lot of connection issues.

Great product, next day delivery, significantly cheaper than all the local retailers. This is the 4th extension unit in our place, I’ve been using the Velop tri band system for a year now, it’s by far been the best router & extension setup I’ve ever owned, and I’ve tried all sorts of different systems over the last few years.

This is not the perfect solution for home WiFi. I bought the pack of 3 towers initially and have had to add an extra one, hence this purchase. Setting up the system took a while but once you get used to the Velop App it becomes easier, adding additional towers is straightforward. The problem is the range. You can’t position them more than about 10m apart otherwise they won’t communicate, less distance if you have obstacles or thick concrete walls. I live in a small villa and it’s taken 4 towers to get coverage everywhere. Also, the Internet speed drops off dramatically from one tower to the next. At the primary tower connected to the modem I’ll get close to the 500mbps I pay for, but each connected tower will only give me 100mbps. This defeats the purpose of having a mesh router system. In effect the additional towers are merely acting as boosters which isn’t the same thing. The App is useful to monitor and control the system, but the speed check option is pointless, it just takes the speed from the primary tower, not the secondary towers so you have no indication of the actual speed around the house. Use a laptop and a third party speed test website to see what you really get. Worth the money? Definitely not, you’d be better to buy two separate powerful routers and run them on separate networks - one up, one down.

Now its connected, it seems to work well.

Connects easily and works perfectly

Product is known and highly recommended for a mesh WiFi . Seller was quick to deliver.

Ordered this unit to extend the network of Velop 5, WHW0301, provided by DU. Read all instructions and got the app that gets the system setup. The two units could not connect. The one that I got from Amazon had a slightly different model no, WHW0301CF-UK. CF stands for Community Fibre and this was also indicated on the box and the on the router itself. I returned it as it can't work on a mesh with existing unit.

On top of the ethernet cable missing, quick start guideline is missing too. I need those 2 asap please
