LinksysVLP01 Velop Dual Band AC1200 Mesh WiFi System | 1 Pack Router Replacement

Took me forever to finally figure out that the Mesh Velop NODE that I had before was actually fried. Light came on and everything but would not go off of red. Stupid jerks at Linksys said "sorry your support on that ran out, but that model is no longer covered. Get our new ones for like $400" - Annoying. Probably would've taken them like 5 min to figure out the old one was bad. Anyway, not going to spend a ton when I had another node anyway as a child node. It worked as the main node! So I bought this one to replace the other child node. It fired right up ... easily added it and am back in business for $19. We'll see if it lasts.

Seamless addition to my existing Linksys Velop mesh network. Easy wireless connectivity set-up extended my signal strength/speed to another room. The smaller size of this unit allowed me to fit it into a tighter shelf space. Would highly recommend as excellent value for your money.

Easy ordering, fast delivery, and took maybe 5 minutes to install added Velops to my mesh network. Worked seamlessly and requires using Linsys online app. Nice important upgrade to my mesh network.

Great price for essentially a wifi extender to a velop mesh system. Works as intended and was easy to integrate into my velop system.

I just bought a third one and add it to my existing two as a node. I have the 3 of them connected via ethernet, the performance and signal works great! They switch between the three of them while I'm moving around the house with no issues at all. Yes you can adopted them via wifi but if you are able to have all of them connected via ethernet with an unmanaged switch, you will not regret the performance, also I read that having a mesh system via ethernet helps the nodes work better and offer more reliable internet speeds which i can confirm is true. Might add one or two more.

I have wasted half my day trying to connect this device. As soon on as it connects, it drops the internet connection. I contacted Linksys and was told the Hardware Warranty was expired (I just bought it today) and they couldn’t help. She put a link in the chat, told me to use that, and before I could copy it, she ended the chat which caused the link and all of our conversation to disappear.

I was a little concerned when I opened the box and it was not in any type of retail packaging, but it blended right in with my existing network and functions great.

Item works fine, but is NOT new. Not even in retail packaging. My guess is that this is just a bad seller. I ordered a replacement and got the same thing, so I just kept it, but if you’re looking for a brand new item, this isn’t it.
