The app works even with iOS 14 (smh) and the router works well and has excellent range so in short the 1 star ratings(after reading several) are because people have no clue how to use or set up things they buy or use. Thanks Linksys for making this system so easy that even a non-technical person like me can set it up in minutes. If you are looking for a GREAT system with awesome coverage and easy setup then the Velop system is for you. Then, I set up the extra node with power and it connected right away. The app is clear and extremely understandable and walked me through the whole setup (plug in wall, plug in signal, and it goes through a few setup steps) and WOW- it was online. WELL, this was the easiest setup and literally took me less than 10 minutes to set up the whole system.
I figured if I couldn't get it to setup, I was going to have to have an internet specialist come to my house and install this unit. I was convinced that if this is the system that they use, then this is the system that I need to try out. They mentioned the ease of set-up and convenience of the Linksys App. I talked to two representatives at one of the local electronic stores and both had the Linksys Velop systems. After much frustration, I took them both back.
I spent 10 hours trying to set up two different routers from two different companies and had such a difficult time setting them up.
