Extended WiFi range compared to a single router, Easy step-by-step setup via smartphone, Smartphone access to advanced settings, Attractive, unobtrusive styling
Performance eclipsed by NETGEAR Orbi, Relatively expensive, Only two Gigabit Ethernet ports on each unit, No USB ports, Kitguru Says: The Linksys Velop uses mesh technology to provide larger WiFi coverage than a standalone router, but it's nowhere near as
The Linksys Velop isn't all bad. The styling is nicer than the Orbi's, and the smartphone-driven setup makes it accessible to a less tech-savvy audience. But otherwise NETGEAR has the jump on Linksys. The Orbi's performance is in a different league to the...

Easy setup, Small footprint, Attractive design
Limited ethernet ports per node, Slightly disappointing speeds, Expensive
The Linksys Velop does a great job of making wireless networking easy and hassle-free but it's rather pricey, and a lack of ethernet ports and slightly lacklustre speeds may put off businesses with more advanced needs...
Ultimately, it's this performance and the high price that make the Velop a less tempting purchase than its competitors. If you can get by with two access points and want to replace your existing router, the Netgear Orbi has more features and better perfor...

Only 2 Ethernet ports, no USB, No control over Wi-Fi networks, No access to advanced settings, Poor value
Yes, if you want your home Wi-Fi to be as reliable as possible, and don't want to think about anything else, we recommend the Linksys Velop. Its ease-of-use, excellent Wi-Fi coverage and long warranty and support period go a long way toward justifying. It...

Premium design, Great range and extendability, Full-fledged companion app
Super-expensive, Occasional packet drops, Limited LAN ports on each unit,
The tri-band Linksys Velop mesh router system has a lot going for it, especially the premium design that'll fit unobtrusively in most rooms, and the full-fledged companion app that's perhaps the best of its kind. It also offers decent range, and unparalle...
