Really stabilised my Hughes net Gen5
I have bought a 3 Pack Velop AC2600 .... I run Hughes net Gen 5 as I live in a remote area, the signal from the Hughesnet router was rubbish ! .....the Velop system not only improves the reception across the house it provides a more stable platform than the Hughesnet wifi signal from the Gen 5 router.

Linksys Velop,
I install mesh networks on a weekly basis, I found this by far the most difficult. Difficult in the fact that it took numerous resets before the network was established took over an hour, should have been 15 minutes max. Range was poor.
Would not buy this product again, was the only one available in the store

no distance
This product claims it can cover 3000 SQft. In reality plan for about 1,500 sqft total, and not fast at that. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with the Linksys tech support who could not accomplish anything productive. There solution was to buy 1 or 2 more nodes if I wanted the 3000 sqft coverage. So apparently they know it is false advertising that the system is only about 50% effective.
Solution.. I purchased a Netgear Orbi 2 node system that really covers over 3000sq and at speeds of over 100 meg faster than the Linksys.

Velop Mesh, Natural & Effortless EzFi
I have been using these (2) Velop Mesh network Nodes in my Home/office for over a month now. Connecting these devices to my ISP via my Modem was easy to do just following the enclosed Quick Start Guide; with one really basic modification; that being to write down the first Nodes PASSWORD before beginning the Setup.
The Velop Mesh System is a REAL PIECE OF CAKE to connect and get running, using the Quick Start Guide is crucial unless you are a Tech Guru at which point you too would not have written down the PASSWORD for the Primary Node and been humbled to READ THE QUICK START GUIDE.
Downloading and opening the Linksys Dashboard is No Muss No Fuss. Following the very easy on screen instructions for the Router Node and the Secondary Node, provides you with a very easy installation of the Velop Mesh network.
WHY MESH? Well if you have EVER attempted to extend your Network past the manufacturer recommended range, you will soon see a combination of devices all having different access addresses slowing your main system down horribly. Things you put up with to get networks working for your purposes. The Velop Mesh simply interconnects all your Nodes into one Logical Node displaying One Main Node (Router) with all your devices interconnected from it.
The Velop Mesh system Graphically displays all your devices, facilitates network and device security and prioritization, controls Guest Access and controls content (what your kids or staff can access).
Mesh networks are a long time in the coming.
Natural and Effortless EzFi.
TECHNICAL STUFF (Backbone Devices):
I Tether my (Primary Node) Router to a Linksys 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch SE 3008 which connects to a Color Deskjet printer, 3 Telephony Systems, and 2 External Hard Drive Enclosure Docking Systems for Direct Access Storage Backup and Archive; total of 3 Terabytes.
My WiFi connections are 3 LaserJet Printers, 4+ laptops, 4 Roku Streaming HD TV's, 4+ cell phones and a Video Monitoring System with 5 cameras also leaching Wifi. The WiFi cameras Base Unit is directly connected (Hardwired) to the 2nd Node of the Velop System.
My general configuration I use the 2 Velop nodes on 2 floors covering over 4,200 sqft with EXCELLENT coverage on most of my network. Linksys on board Speed Check utility shows Downloads at 178Mbps Uploads 6.2Mbps, and Cells receiving 5Ghz at 866 Mbps. The 3,800 sqft is Open Floor Plan, 1/3 underground; with Other Networks visible but not accessing my Router. System degradation occurs near the underground portion of the office to a GOOD rating which we mitigate by direct connect (Hardwire) from the Linksys 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch SE 3008 as needed.
Summary:
It is about time Router Manufacturers produced a FAST Network that permits seamless integration of add-on devices, without compromising network speed and functionality and for a Reasonable Price. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
