Editors Review:

I spent 10 hours trying to set up two different routers from two different companies and had such a difficult time setting them up. After much frustration, I took them both back.I talked to two representatives at one of the local electronic stores and both had the Linksys Velop systems. They mentioned the ease of set-up and convenience of the Linksys App. I was convinced that if this is the system that they use, then this is the system that I need to try out. 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. WELL, this was the easiest setup and literally took me less than 10 minutes to set up the whole system. 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. Then, I set up the extra node with power and it connected right away. EASY, EASY, EASY. If you are looking for a GREAT system with awesome coverage and easy setup then the Velop system is for you. Thanks Linksys for making this system so easy that even a non-technical person like me can set it up in minutes.

This app is an absolute G-d send compared to how things used to be in order to set up and configure everything you needed to with a new wireless router. I absolutely love this app bc you can do everything you need to in order to set up or change settings, configurations, passwords, parental controls and the list goes on and on. I never thought I would leave any feedback on any app but this app is just to awesome and since I’m so used to the old way of doing things either having to run a cable directly to the wireless router or having to get on a website I think it’s worth letting the world know just how much this app is worth having if you own a linksys wireless router or if you don’t have a linksys then it’s time to make the swap or upgrade the current one you own to a linksys and the entire reason why is bc of this app and how it makes literally everything sooo incredibly easy it’s like going to the corner block and picking up that $2 Ho! Thanks Linksys y’all definitely did it right and by far have made me a customer of Linksys products for life!!

I had to purchase a new router after I had an alarm system installed in my home..it was a smart alarm system which consisted of a wireless controllable front door, Two wireless indoor cameras, two wireless thermostats, and two overhead smoke/heat detectors.Without realizing it everything on the smart home system affected my router bogging it down when I went to use the PC...I always used Linksys and at the time I had the best Linksys had to offer in routers which was I can't remember but it was the one previous to the EA 9500 that I'm writing about now. After reading the specs with all the antennas and the new technology I gave this a shot for $400 at the time and when I got back on my computer everything was cleared I was able to fly bonnet especially with gaming and I do play AAA games..Also in my home I rent out eight rooms and not only does everyone have cell phones but they have laptops as well so that's a very busy system when I checked the app sometimes AC up to 24 items on there at once without even affecting the band with I highly recommend this unit
