  • Barely any difference from the old generation Velop... Not worth the upgrade
Style: 3000 Sq. ft - 50+ Devices Size: AX5300
I upgraded from the tri-band AC velop to the Wifi 6 velop and the results are disappointing. After installation I separated the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and set the security setting to WPA2 and WPA3 respectively. I have a 1Gbps connection to my home and the speeds I was getting on my iPhone 11 was about 30-40 Mbps on the 5Ghz band. I reset the router and tried again but the results were the same. Then I changed the 5GHz band to WPA2 and i noticed a slight increase in speeds. The speed test on my iPhone11 for the old velop at 5GHz would max at around 380Mbps. And for the new one, I was getting speeds upto 430Mbps. On the previous generation Velop 2GHz band, where i had approximately 55 smart devices connected, my speeds were around 30Mbps and on the Wifi 6 Velop, my max wifi speed increased slightly to 70Mbps. Surprisingly, I saw a slight increase in speed for my wired connections. On my iMac 5k, I'm able to get up to 940Mbps, while on the old Velop, I would max out at 830Mbps. I believe this is due to a faster processor. I would not recommend upgrading to this because you will not see speeds exceeding 500Mbps on your iPhone11. In addition, it isn't "future proof" because there isn't a 2.5G or 10G ethernet port. Linksys also needs to fix its WPA3 performance issues. ... show more

  • Really bad implementation of mesh networking. Be prepared for LOTS of tech support help.
Style: 3000 Sq. ft - 20+ Devices Size: WIFI 5
The idea is good, but the implementation of this mesh networking system is just terrible. I spent about $500 on these things getting enough coverage in my home. They are supposed to automatically connect to the internet and update their firmware. They all came with firmware that was incompatible with doing this AND such that they would not work when set up automatically. I had to spend several hours with tech support on the phone getting it to work as it should. But.... Once I did get it up and running and providing the WIFI coverage they claimed, I am having serious issues with the router dropping the internet for minutes at a time. Download speeds show 126Mb/s from my cable modem, but I am often getting only 6Mb/s at the actual devices in question. WHen I set a ping monitor up, it drops out for many packets at a time as packets are lost. This, when I set the ping to only ping within my actual network itself. Then there is the issue of how many units you actually need to cover things. They claim 3 units for up to 6000 square feet. My house is about half that and I needed 5 units. I got better coverage from a single standalone top end wifi system. This stuff is just overhyped and under performing. So, this is really a lousy crummy product. It doesn’t work as it should, it’s essentially engineering beta level product and not ready for actual usage. Now I’m stuck with 5 units worth about $500 and it doesn’t work and I’m faced with round two of tech support nightmare. Oh, and by the way, I’m an electrical engineer so I understand this stuff. I don’t how else to describe this stuff as junk. It doesn’t work right at all. ... show more

  • What a Disappointment
Style: 3000 Sq. ft - 50+ Devices Size: AX5300
I bought a MX5 back in November 2019 shortly after they first came out and another in March 2020. Prior to that I had a first generation WiFi 5 dual Triband Velop system so getting this new single WiFi 6 MX5 seemed like good way to check this out. Initially this looked like it was going to really be a good product. With close to 50 smart devices in my house I was starting to outgrow the initial WiFi 5 Velop Triband system. I do not have any WiFi 6 devices on my network so I was not sure I would be doing myself any good, but I wanted to find out. I soon found out that having this new WiFi 6 MX5 router actually did speed up my network. In spite of alleged backward compatibility with the first generation Velop, I was not happy with the overall performance so I bought the second MX5 as the second (child) node and retired the legacy Velop system. Now I essentially had a MX10 system operational. I could see a basic improvement in network speed throughout the house. Okay so why a 2-star rating? In short features, reliability/stability, app, and product support. I could write pages about all this but will keep it short and let any readers draw their own conclusions. By most standards I consider myself a pretty advanced user, having gone through many routers, computers, devices, etc. On features this system has enough for me to get by fine with one critical exception. There is no way to back up your router configuration. There are people in forums that have been asking for this since at least 2017 and it is still not there. When I install a Velop system with a lot of devices I take a lot of time and devote a lot of effort to identifying each device and assigning a recognizable name to it. This is no short or easy task. Further I need to do various port forwardings and make a few IP reservations. All of this takes a lot of time. If you just had to do it once it would not be that big a deal. In my case I have had several technical issues with this MX10 system and if you ever do get someone in Tech support that doesn't hang up on you then about all they can do is to get you to do things like master resets, swapping devices (same thing), or other configuration destroying changes. On a recent conversation with tech support they told me there indeed was a way to back up the configuration, but that actually turned out to not be true. So on missing features, my big thing is no no way to back up configuration. It is a basic feature that virtually all other routers have. Reliability/Stability - When everything is working well it's great. Then there is a node that goes offline and tells you it is offline (in the app). Generally unplugging and replugging will fix this. Then there is a node that goes offline but the app says it is online. A whole new problem here. Then while the router continues to report 240 mbps down my actual wifi speed slows to about 40 mbps. No problem, just restart everything and it usually comes back. Okay enough of that, the system is a little flakey and unreliable unless you are willing to keep your eye on it a lot and often do soft and sometime hard restarts. Not acceptable performance to me. The App - At times the app works fairly well. It could a lot more features for sure, but the real problem is that the app too is very flaky and unreliable. It can show things not connected when they are and vice verse. One theory I have (only a theory) is that this app is merely reflecting problems with the router and child node and would work fine in a trouble-free environment. I can only judge by what I can see though, and I pretty much see a crap app. On tech support - Oh this is so bad. The people you will talk to are obviously their tier 1 and that can be okay. Unfortunately in the many times I have tried to get help I have not had any good results and have often gotten clearly wrong information. Further I have heard some references to perhaps having an issue elevated up a to the next level, but I have never been able to talk to anyone at that next (imaginary?) level. Also in those instances the case just died and I never heard from anyone again. Okay folks that's the short version. MESH systems are clearly more complex that single point routers and I understand there are challenges, but these systems need to be stable, reliable, and robust. The Linksys MX10 and its associated app all look very good on paper, but in my opinion they will disappoint, and I would not buy it again or recommend it. One of the problems with all reviews of these systems, is that they focus on speed and range. These are important variables, but a few more feet in range or a few more mbps will quickly become meaningless when a user runs into reliability issues, product support issues, setup quirks, and other issues that will govern how things go day in and day out. ... show more
