The verdict
The system is expensive and lacks basic settings as well as common features. An account is required for its mobile app to work and its parental control feature is poorly designed
Abstract: Wi-fi can be a pain. Interference from other devices -- both your own and those of neighbours -- and thick walls can mean patchy coverage even within a relatively small space. Powerline adapters and range extenders can be a hassle to set up, deliver far f...
Easy to install, User-friendly mobile app, MU-MIMO-enabled, Stylish design
Mixed performance, Lacks antivirus protection
The Linksys Velop Dual-Band Whole Home WiFi Mesh System is nicely designed and offers modern features, but it can't keep up with the performance of its competitors...

High build quality, Compact design, Each node has all of the capabilities as any other node, Two ethernet ports per node including remote nodes
Nodes are not wall mountable by design (desk standing only), Would like to have more ethernet ports per node, Placement test is agonizingly long, The price tag
The setup process is simple, and the Velop mobile app works very well, This dual-band Velop system is similar in price to other dual-band systems, You can add dual-band Velop units to an existing tri-band Velop network, and vice-versa
It's understandable at this price, but you'll experience lower internet speeds on secondary nodes with all dual-band systems, It takes roughly 30 minutes to set up all three Velop nodes, and most of that is staring at progress bars, There is no easy way t
Overall, the dual-band Velop system is a massive improvement over my previous setup. The dead zones are gone, I don't have to deal with the stupid range extender I had before, and every device in my home has a stable connection. The Velop mobile app is ex...
Decent routing feature set, Supports AP mode and Ethernet backhaul, Supports 802.11k and v roaming assist
Poor performance, No band steering
It's possible Linksys could make some improvements in firmware to improve the DB's performance. But, for now, it's a significant step back from the original (and significantly more expensive) tri-band Velop if you're looking for a mesh Wi-Fi system and tr...
Supports Ethernet backhaul, Can use with triband Velop units, Easy to set up and manage, Hundreds cheaper than triband version, Great performance at the right range
Linksys account and Android/iOS app are required, Speeds suffer without Ethernet backhaul or dedicated backhaul band, A single node probably isn't worth it

There are now many options for those interested in Velop routers, and things to consider when choosing between them. There are two different models, and then one, two, or three packs of each of them. Unless you have a home above 4,500 square feet, have e...

The Linksys VELOP mesh system is quite innovative, very easy to configure via the mobile application but also very stylish looking; its main purpose is to offer full wireless signal in the whole house at optimal speeds and besides the wireless connectivit...
