Linksys WHW0101P Velop Mesh WiFi Extender: Wall Plug-in, Wireless Range and Speed Booster for Velop Mesh Wi-Fi System, Single Outlet (White)

I bought an initial system of one router and one repeater unit as my "mesh", replacing several routers and repeaters with the usual confusing array of channel numbers and names. The Velop mesh worked very well to improve speed and quality of WiFi connections. I found that in the most distant rooms, the coverage didn't quite reach all areas and so I added a second "satelite". The system practically installs itself so it was easy to do with very clear instructions. The result is I now have perfect coverage and excellent speed (250GBs) WiFi throughout the house and no issues as you move from room to room or floor to floor--the transition is seamless.

I have had the Velop 3 tower mesh system in my house for at least a year. It has been fantastic and trouble free. Great Wifi all over the house. My problem area is a pool house area down below my main space. It is a pretty good distance down there. Ethernet over powerline does not work since the pool house is on a different circuit. I plugged the Velop extension node in down there, and configured it with the terrific app in no time. It has totally solved the problem. My speeds are around 50 meg down and 10 up down there, which is totally adequate for web surfing, email, music, streaming etc. My speeds inside the house are perhaps double that, but it is irrelevant to my needs. So, I am very pleased. I have been looking for a solution to this admittedly first world problem ( internet by my pool...) for a number of years. Problem solved.

Pros: very fast & easy setting, using the Linksys app on my phone. It works as I've expected, extending the range where I need it. Cons: be aware, that's 2-bound extender, so it cuts the speed 50%. I knew it, so not surprised. Now it gives me 40-20 Mbps in the areas where previously I didn't have reliable wifi connection at all. At the spot, I've plugged-in the extender I'm having ~80 Mbps from the central router. Hopefully, in the future the 3-bound extenders will be available and affordable. But till then - this device looks to serve its purpose perfectly.

We have installed and used the Linksys Velop Two node Mesh System for two years and have had no problems from the get go. This summer, one of our daughters has been staying with us and working out of our house. She frequently tried to work out on our patio but found that the WiFi service was spotty. We purchased the Velop extender for our system, installed it and at the same time, upped our internet speed. We are happy to report that doing these things has given us faster and more reliable internet usage out on our patio. We ordered our Velop extender online from Amazon and it was delivered three days ahead of when it was promised. It was easy to install, as long as you follow the instructions. Read Instructions twice (maybe three times), install ONCE!

If you have invested in Linksys’s Velop ecosystem, you really don’t have a huge choice in a stand alone single mesh node. This one solves a nice issue in that it self contained, plugs right into an outlet and avoids the need to put it on a table or purchase a separate wall mount. It’s out of site which to me is a good thing. It’s really easy to set up and you can do it via your phone Bluetooth or via WiFi. And the price is right, a real plus. Now the not so good... This is only a dual band so if your Velop Router is a tri band, you will not be utilizing all the bandwidth you could. And you have your choice of colors, as long as that color is white!

After numerous tries to add this thing as a mesh node, using both the iPhone app and desktop interface via 192.168.1.1 login, I have to give up. Each attempt took a full hour with each ending in a stalled app or a message that the process could not complete as the node was too far away or off the map. My last attempts had this node only a few feet away from the AC2200 main access point. There is no useful help information on the web. There is no chance to chat with a technical support person. It may be a firmware problem but there is no way to upgrade firmware as this thing has no ethernet connector for direct connection to the net. I have had no problems installing similar systems from other vendors and am not a beginner. My Google mesh system, for example, in another address worked seamlessly and installed very easily. Awful app, awful response via the desktop login. Don't buy this unit or this brand.

Linksys......confiable

Got a new Linksys WiFi mesh router. My house is large and have always needed to use an extender. Even asked Amazon's AI assistant, Rufus, if this extender would work with my new router and Rufus said yes. Well it doesn't. Wasted a lot of time trying to set it up only to find this extender only works with the Linksys Velop system from Linksys. Even though my router is a Linksys mesh router it is not compatible with this extender. Returned it for full refund.

Ça n’a pas vraiment amélioré la réception wifi

El objetivo principal de cambiar mi infraestructura de red en casa era extenderla desde un departamento en PB hasta un Roof Garden 4 pisos arriba, y ¡funcionó! El extensor de la red en malla Velop es el último eslabón de la instalación en el roof garden aproximadamente 12m de distancia en vertical más 6 m en horizontal. La configuración inicial la hice cerca del nodo principal y luego la coloqué en su lugar definitivo. Es una instalación relativamente sencilla. En mi caso tuve dificultades, sin embargo, el soporte técnico de Linksys fue muy bueno y accesible. En general, a una semana de haber cambiado la infraestructura de red, se ha comportado estable, la cobertura en toda la casa se logró y el monitoreo por medio de la app también ha sido muy bueno.

The product stopped functioning properly in less than a year, its a total waste of money

Muy fácil de instalar, compatible con mi red mesh y más económico que una torre adicional

Muy buen funcionamiento del equipo, solamente que en viviendas con muros de block de concreto o tabique el alcance es más limitado. De resto, funciona muy bien y es fácil de configurar e instralar.
