Linksys Velop Whole Home WiFi Intelligent Mesh System Wall Plug-in, Works with Your Velop System to Extend Range & Speed (Renewed)

Setup was easy and this was a refurbished item. No directions in the no. But I just asked Grok and had no issues adding it to my network.

At first I was worried since it was a refurbished unit, but when I opened it up it was certified refurbished from Linksys themselves.I’m not sure why everyone has negative reviews. You need to set this up in range of the previous node or main node, within 3-4 WiFi signal range. It takes only a few minutes to setup, but will remember that configuration even when it turns off or the power goes out.I’ve only had one instance where after an update it didn’t seem to want to kick back on in the morning, but rebooting the device manually fixed it and I’ve had no issues since. Devices have no problem changing nodes as they move around the house for better range, and speeds are just as great as from the main node (of course a little slower but that’s expected once again from a mesh system).The only downside (like all mesh systems) is that if you want to directly communicate with other devices on other nodes, you can’t unless you are connected to the node they are. So if you connect to other devices frequently, etc.

Wanted to a extend net work, wouldn't link until I held it within a few feet of existing node, but then was able to move to desired location

I gotta give credit where credit is due, these Velop plug-ins work better than my regular node towers. And the best part is they amp up the signal to those nodes, so my WIFI throughout the house is double as good as it used to be. I would buy more if my wife let me. They're super easy to set up, they set up just like a regular node, and they boost the other towers. There aren't any hardline connections on them, so you wouldn't be able to use it as a parent node, but they work great.

Doesn't work well. Always disconnects from my wifi despite trying multiple placements. Actually makes my network worse by occasionally getting a weak signal and then another node connects to it. My mesh network was better before adding it when I bought it specifically to help boost the signal in one room where the signal was weak

I needed an extra mesh node to strengthen my WiFi at home. I already had a Linksys’s velop system. Added new node in about 5 minutes. Great equipment

There was no quick start guide, so I called the customer service number that wqs included. Got a busy signal.So I went to my Linksys app. Found the quick start guide, but it wouldn't download. Chatted with Linksys customer service. They informed me my router was no longer covered by warranty, and this product is no longer manufactured or supported by Linksys, so how did I get it? They agreed to help with the stipulation that this is a one time deal. If i didn't have to contact customer service, it would have been an easy install. I'm considering returning this product on principle, since I will have no support if there is a problem.

IMHO it's been rare for me to buy refurbished and have it working perfectly outta box in minutes but this is it...pure plug and play and in minutes my backyard wifi signal was stronger for our wifi speakers out back.My sonos roam keep dropping the wifi which made using the Google feature on it not work and it'd also drop playing music. Getting this helped increased the wifi out in the backyard so now the speaker stays connected, plays music all day. Everyone's happy. Set up was simple. Works great. Cheaper than buying 1 new Velop node thr Linksys. Big sticker on package confirms its factory refurbished but so far so good.
