Rated 1 out of 5 by from DO NOT BUY - JUNK I have 5 nodes and for a house that measures 65' X 35' (1,950 sq/ft) and have so many connectivity issues. I recently hardwired all of the nodes to get better signal as the signal otherwise is minimal between the nodes. The broadcast signal is better but devices sitting a foot away from the closet node always seem to connect to the node furthest away. Look for another alternative. A friend of mine has another product from another company at much less cost and works 100 times better than these devices.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Junk I have owned this stuff for 3 years and in that time it has not stayed connected more than a week at a time. I talked with tech support and I searched the web looking for answers. I also had 2 nodes go bad on my so I asked tech support about it. They said they would send me new ones. I never got them. I finally gave up on them and bought Netgear. Have not so far had any trouble out of them and I'm using half as many nodes. Don't buy this junk.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This product sucks!!!!!! I regret spending my hard earned money on this junk!!! I think Linksys is paying people to right good reviews. I will never recommend this product to anyone not even my enemies. I’ve had this product for about two years now nothing but problems nodes loses connection all the time to many issues for it to be considered a reliable source for wireless network.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I hate I purchased this item and not satisfied I purchased this from a Best Buy Geek Squad agent visiting my house because of network issues. I have a 3300 sq foot home and the signal isn't strong enough to reach most of the house. One of the nodes continues to have no signal or a weak signal. I relocated it to about 2o feet from the other child and it still isn't better. The firmware is up to date, and I chatted with Linksys .. still have issues. My wife is becoming frustrated and I may have to buy another system (not Linksys) I thought one node (child) would connect to the closest node (child), is that true or does it connect to the mother? I have a mother and two children can I purchase another child (or will it do any good) to improve the coverage?

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor user interface & glitchy nodes I've had my 3 node Velop router for a few years now. At least once a year I end up having to do a complete reset & setup of all the nodes. I have to shut down the wifi & set everything up from scratch. Lately I'm having to do this every 2-3 months. Currently, I cannot get one node to reset or connect, just a red light. The app has proven useless since I cannot manage the nodes with it -- that is once it allows me to log in. The firmware is up to date. Looks like it's time for me to move to a different brand. I'd advise those considering this router to look elsewhere.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average with Reconnecting Issues Is not reliable and the Wi-Fi range is very limited infact can’t go outside the front door or a 100 meters outside even the nodes near windows. And next issues when power goes down on/off the devices it takes a lot of times to reconnect and sometimes fails to connect to modem .. My set up is backhaul using CAT 8 enthernet cable.. with more than 80 HomeKit devices

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Looks nice had to return I finally took a chance and purchased the 3-Pack through dell. Setting up the 1st one was easy but the other 2 not so good. The electrical connection is flimsy, the 2nd had no power light when 1st plugged in and I didn't think much of it. I thought maybe it would light after trying to connect to the other node. After flipping the switch and unplugging the source finally it lights and connects. Get to the 3rd node and same thing except this one would power on and the slightest movement would cause no power. I then noticed there was a slight play in the power connection at the node, if I held the power cord in the connection the light would stay on. Setting the node down while trying to connect to the network the power would keep shutting off. Finally if I was able to get this node to remain on long enough to try connecting I would get the flashing red light not able to connect no matter where I placed it. I even tried placing it right beside the main node and still wouldn't connect. Dell support was nice enough to assist with a refund and I am taking a chance on ordering an upgraded system, one which I noticed the power connects on the side instead of the bottom.

Velop ac6600 supports power over eathernet, in specification shows it has powe and eathernet cable management, so what is power and eathernet cable management

Asked by: Hemang
Ethernet in general does not supply power to the remote unit. POE is a special Ethernet which is powered by the switch at the source end.  Using POE one can supply power to an access point for WiFi mesh which supports it.  Thereby the mesh or access point does not need to be located near an electrical outlet, because the power is being supplied via the POE Ethernet connection.

I have the mesh velop 3 node system. Can I add an outdoor node or antenna to this system?

Asked by: auerman
Hi, auerman. You can add another Linksys mesh node to the WHW0303, however, our Linksys devices are for indoor use only. Also, this Linksys nodes has 6x internal antennas, therefore, you cannot add antenna to the nodes.

Do they have an outside node to add to my mess system of 3.

Asked by: James123
I don't know if they have a node that would withstand outside weather conditions. But one of my inside nodes is positioned next to an outside wall so that I have coverage outside where I need it. Maybe that would work for you.

If I have a 3 nodes, can I add a 4th or 5th?   Also do all child nodes have to talk directly with the parent or can they be daisy-chained?

Asked by: Johnnym
I had three nodes and added a fourth and it all works fine. I think each child node needs to see the parent, but I'm not certain.

*Based on the maximum speed that data (Phy rate) can move across a wireless link while alternating between the two 5GHz radios in each node. Each node has three Wi-Fi radios – one 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi radio and two 5 GHz Wi-Fi radios. Each 5 Ghz radio has throughput of 867 Mbps. Nodes will alternate between the two 5 GHz radios for each separate connection, providing 100% seamless Wi-Fi to your network. Specifications are subject to change without notice. An active, customer purchased Internet Service Provider broadband account is required for connection of this product and other connected devices to the Internet. Some devices may require additional wireless adapters or an Ethernet cable to connect.

**Each node in the wireless system provides a range of up to 2,000 square feet. Range can vary with the number and placement of nodes in the system. Range specifications are based on performance test results under normal use case conditions. Actual ranges will vary depending on wireless obstructions, operating environments and building material. Wireless coverage claims are used only as reference and are not guaranteed, as each wireless network is unique.

†For full warranty and support information, please visit the product support page.

‡Maximum Performance derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance may vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, speed, range and coverage. Performance depends upon many factors, conditions and variables, including building materials and construction, volume of network traffic, mix of wireless products used, interference and other adverse conditions. In order to achieve the best performance, this product must be used with compatible AC2200 wireless devices. The standard transmission rates for each node—867 Mbps (for each 5 GHz radio), 400 Mbps (for 2.4 GHz)—are the physical data rates. Actual data throughput will be lower and may depend on the mix of wireless products used and external factors.
