Mesh Networks are the Best!
Linksys has knocked it out of the park with their Velop Intelligent Mesh WiFi System. It is so easy to set up, and the phone app is so handy. Each node covers 2000 square feet, so it's easy to have complete coverage in my home with just 2 nodes. I can probably add a 3rd node to my detached garage and get coverage throughout most of my back yard. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Addition to My Mesh Network
I received the 2 unit WHW01 set of Velop routers, and added it to my existing set of two WHW02 Velop routers.
My wife complained of poor coverage in the front of our house, as my current routers are in the back of the house and upstairs. I added one of these WHW01 routers by the front door, and one in the basement. Coverage certainly appears improved throughout my house. This version of the Velop router is shorter, and noticeably lighter. It is also only considered dual-band as opposed to my original tri-band Velop units.
Installation is very easy, but only able to be done via the Linksys app. I was able to quickly find the new units (via bluetooth and wifi) and the app within a few minutes had configured each to my existing system, and they were up and running. Although I wish the units could be configured from a web interface alone, I do understand the reasoning for using a smartphone. At least now, there is a web interface for existing wireless systems, which one can simply access at 192.168.1.1.
These routers do have a slight drawback that one might not know when initially evaluating this version of the Velop routers for purchase:
I do not feel that the range of these routers is as good as the tri-band version. My master router is in the open in one corner of the house, and one of my new routers is not quite at the opposite corner, no more than 40 feet away, across an open layout. It does have trouble finding a signal to the main router, which is a bit frustrating. If I were to move it closer, there isn't a place to put the device or a power outlet available. I could move it to the same room as the master unit, but that seems a bit silly and redundant in order to obtain a strong and reliable signal.
One of the pluses of these units, is the ethernet ports are now on the back of the device, instead of the bottom, which makes it easier to place the routers flat on a surface, and not have to bend the ethernet cable 90 degrees from underneath the unit.
Overall, I think that these 2 additional routers are a great addition to my existing mesh network, and have definitely added signal strength and coverage to my network. If you have some areas that still need coverage, these dual-band routers would be a good addition to your mesh network. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

a warm blanket
I have been using the Velop Intelligent Mesh WiFi System for about a week now. It has increased the wifi coverage in the far corners of my house. It has created a blanket of reliable coverage throughout my home. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Modular Mesh WiFi System Grows with Your WiFi Needs

Apartment
One node is all you need for apartment life. But if you encounter interference from your neighbors' WiFi, simply add a second node. -
Modern Home
If you live in a 2-story, modern and contemporary home with metal construction, you will need two or three nodes for unobstructed WiFi. -
Brownstone
For homes with lots of brick and concrete or basements, like Brownstones, three nodes are necessary for unimpeded WiFi. -
Ranch-Style Home
For homes that are long with lots of square footage, a Velop system with three or four nodes will spread 100% WiFi1 from one end to the other.
