Performance still eclipsed by NETGEAR Orbi, Only two Gigabit Ethernet ports on each unit, No USB ports, Kitguru Says: With just two satellites, the Linksys Velop is much quicker in a normal-sized house than with three, and the price is very competive, but
The Linksys Velop has redeemed itself a little with this retest. If you're not after the fastest performance across the board, the £249.99 two-unit Velop pack is great value for providing decent coverage across an entire house. It's worth noting that even...
Velop's promise of networking simplicity doesn't hold up so well when it comes to the fiddly nature of positioning the various nodes. Linksys is right to offer some advice during the setup process because, as with all range extenders, positioning can seri...

The Linksys Velop isn't all bad. The styling is nicer than the Orbi's, and the smartphone-driven setup makes it accessible to a less tech-savvy audience. But otherwise NETGEAR has the jump on Linksys. The Orbi's performance is in a different league to the...

The Linksys Velop does a great job of making wireless networking easy and hassle-free but it's rather pricey, and a lack of ethernet ports and slightly lacklustre speeds may put off businesses with more advanced needs...
Ultimately, it's this performance and the high price that make the Velop a less tempting purchase than its competitors. If you can get by with two access points and want to replace your existing router, the Netgear Orbi has more features and better perfor...

Yes, if you want your home Wi-Fi to be as reliable as possible, and don't want to think about anything else, we recommend the Linksys Velop. Its ease-of-use, excellent Wi-Fi coverage and long warranty and support period go a long way toward justifying. It...
