LinksysVelop Pro 7 WiFi Mesh System | One Cognitive Mesh Tri-Band Router with Over 10 Gbps Speeds | Whole Home Coverage up to 3,000 sq. ft. | Connect 200+ Devices | 1 Pack MBE7001 | 2023 Release

This mesh wifi system (Linksys Velop Pro 7) is amazingly fast. Fast enough that you can actually see the speed of your applications loading. The setup is easy once you download the Linksys app. It walks you through the setup process step by step. I have yet to notice ANY deadspots in my home where this is weak or no connectivity. If you're looking to add some spice to your WiFi at home or work, you should consider this option for fast, reliable connections.

AWFUL. If I could return this, I would. The connection keeps dropping constantly—at least 10 to 20 times per day—to the point that it’s unusable. We tried everything, but the result is always the same: you lose internet connectivity while staying connected to the network. The only way to fix it is to turn the Wi-Fi on and off on the device.Also, the signal range is really bad. I live in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, and the router is located at the center, but the signal drops at the edges.I paid over $250 for this garbage—never again with this brand.

Short version: Yes, I definitely recommend this router. The setup was nearly automatic, but with advanced configuration available. Note: the increased security protocols may affect older devices.Upgrading a router every few years is essential for the safety of your network and devices. Upgrading from a state-of-the-art (in 2016) router, I took the extra precaution of changing the network name (SSID) and password instead of keeping the SSID/password (from 8 years ago).This meant changing networks on every computer, tablet, smartphone, TV, Echo DOT, and home automation device. It is a fair amount of work, but increases the security of the network. It also uncovers hidden exposures.The router's default security is the current WPA2/WPA3, along with the ability to create up to 4 SSIDs (to segment user & network traffic) and much more. However, a 2012 (TV streaming device) I still used had trouble connecting. Finally, I discovered that with its security of only WPA/WPA2, plus earlier WEP & TKIP, it could not log onto the network, thus protecting my network from potential "old security feature" exposures.So yes, I definitely recommend this router, and suggest using the setup as a way to review your current devices and exposures.

I don't typically write customer reviews, but I felt I needed to warn others.I bought one of these routers and, at first, it seemed great. The 6 GHz band was super fast, the connection seemed stable, and I was happy.Until I tried to download files from a website I frequent. The downloads were not completing, always failing at the last second. "That's weird," I thought, "I wonder why?"So I tried using the 5 GHz band as a sanity check. Nope, no dice.Maybe the 2.4 GHz band? This sort of worked. The files would occasionally download now, but they were often corrupt.So I tried transferring some files to my local NAS. I observed the same corruption.My brother had bought one of these for his house at the same time, so I re-ran my tests on his router for a sanity check. Same issues. I had him run them on his computer too, again as a sanity check. Nope, still corrupting files.Now, it's possible that this was a software issue on the router. Maybe a security setting that was a little overzealous. But the point is that a router should, at bare minimum, be able to transfer files with zero data loss across the network. This is a minimum requirement for any router, it is not an optional feature.It's also possible that my brother and I just both got lemons, and that these routers are generally reliable. But I kind of doubt it.TL;DR: I bought one of these and it corrupted files during upload/download. Don't risk it. Just buy something else.

This was a great upgrade from my previous AX5300 mesh router. The problem I needed to solve was the number of WiFi devices in our smart home that overwhelmed the older router. Everything is up and running and the smart home responses are notably snappy compared to before.

We have a large family and we recently built a 4000 sq ft home with seven bedrooms which included a mother-inlaw suite. The furthest room distance is around 50 feet away from the router and the signal is terrible. Roughly 9 mbps on a PS4 in my daughters room. I was trying to replace my Linksys EA7430 which gives a max range of 1600 sq ft. Literally my 4 year old router gives better range than this router. For $300+ I was expecting more than my old router.

Pretty fast. But unable to setup via the app. Took me over 2 hours and need to contact the Linksys support to configure from the computer. Change the setting and update the firmware before it can go to the internet

Upgraded my old Linksys OpenWrt router with the latest. Was plug in play out of the box. Had to search how to change the SSID in OpenWrt, but got it done in a few minutes. Speed is great. Coverage is as good as the old router with external antennas. I had not touched the old Linksys router in years, hope this one is just as good.
