Kitguru Says
The Linksys Velop uses mesh technology to provide larger WiFi coverage than a standalone router
But it's nowhere near as
Performance still eclipsed by NETGEAR Orbi

The Linksys Velop is much quicker in a normal-sized house than with three

Abstract: Mesh Wi-Fi routers are a recent trend in the networking market and aim to bring some of the advanced features of enterprise networking systems to the consumer. How well do they work, and what performance benefit do you get by switching to one? We'll take...

Abstract: Wi-fi can be a pain. Interference from other devices -- both your own and those of neighbours -- and thick walls can mean patchy coverage even within a relatively small space. Powerline adapters and range extenders can be a hassle to set up, deliver far f...
Easy to install, User-friendly mobile app, MU-MIMO-enabled, Stylish design

High build quality, Compact design, Each node has all of the capabilities as any other node, Two ethernet ports per node including remote nodes
Nodes are not wall mountable by design (desk standing only), Would like to have more ethernet ports per node, Placement test is agonizingly long, The price tag
The setup process is simple, and the Velop mobile app works very well, This dual-band Velop system is similar in price to other dual-band systems, You can add dual-band Velop units to an existing tri-band Velop network, and vice-versa
It's understandable at this price, but you'll experience lower internet speeds on secondary nodes with all dual-band systems, It takes roughly 30 minutes to set up all three Velop nodes, and most of that is staring at progress bars, There is no easy way t
Overall, the dual-band Velop system is a massive improvement over my previous setup. The dead zones are gone, I don't have to deal with the stupid range extender I had before, and every device in my home has a stable connection. The Velop mobile app is ex...
Decent routing feature set, Supports AP mode and Ethernet backhaul, Supports 802.11k and v roaming assist
Poor performance, No band steering
It's possible Linksys could make some improvements in firmware to improve the DB's performance. But, for now, it's a significant step back from the original (and significantly more expensive) tri-band Velop if you're looking for a mesh Wi-Fi system and tr...
Supports Ethernet backhaul, Can use with triband Velop units, Easy to set up and manage, Hundreds cheaper than triband version, Great performance at the right range
Linksys account and Android/iOS app are required, Speeds suffer without Ethernet backhaul or dedicated backhaul band, A single node probably isn't worth it
