Dedicated connection between devices, Strong throughput at medium range, Uses latest Wi-Fi technologies
Inconsistent results during lab tests, Expensive, Lacks USB port
The Linksys Velop can easily fill a large home with Wi-Fi signals, but it isn't the cheapest, the fastest or the most consistent router system. You'll need to use your phone or tablet to set it up, and at $500 for three units, it's among the most expensiv...

Linksys Velop Tri-band AC6600 Whole Home WiFi Mesh System, 3-Pack (coverage up to 6000 sq. ft), Works with Amazon AlexaPrice: $499.97‹ ›So, after a pretty exhaustive round of testing, what have we learned? Linksys Velop has the potential to be a class-lea...
The Linksys Velop is a first entry for Linksys into the mesh Wi-Fi market and I think it's a decent entry. It's easy to use, performance is good, and it looks good while doing it. In the mid-sized condo I used for testing, the system was easily able to co...
Two 5 GHz radios for more connection options, ZigBee radio for Smart Home connectivity, Decent routing feature set, Works if internet connection goes down
Poor backhaul performance yields low client throughput, ZigBee radio not enabled
I was happy to see Linksys break out of the DWS 3-pack pack by including a second 5 GHz radio in Velop. Properly used, a third radio can provide more options for separating backhaul and client traffic and improving overall system performance.But it appear...

I like the approach that Linksys is taking with Velop – provide customers who want a wireless mesh or whole-home coverage offering, but with the backing, knowledge and expertise that a wireless veteran is known for. In addition, it's good that Linksys isn...

Sleek design, Easy to install and manage, User-friendly app, Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) enabled, Very good throughput in testing
Expensive, Lacks USB ports, Does not support dedicated band control
The Linksys Velop provides Wi-Fi coverage for your entire home and seamless roaming over a single network. It's stylish, easy to install, and delivers fast single-user and MU-MIMO throughput speeds, making it our top pick for Wi-Fi systems...

Fast Wi-Fi 6 support,Great area coverage,Plenty of ports,
Not cheap, Not compact, App can be sluggish,
The Linksys MX4200 Velop is a superb choice if you want to upgrade your home Wi-Fi to a pro-level mesh network without paying over the odds. Coverage, speeds and the ease of the setup process all impress, though it's perhaps not the very best choice out t...
