Title: Upgraded from very first VELOP system - Worked out great
Review: We had 3 nodes in the house, the original Velop system that worked overall fairly well with (about 70 devices) but speeds were less then desirable. Nothing bad or anything but with the increase in streaming devices and wanting to upgrade looked around a bit at the various options. Having been using Linksys products for many many many years, looked at the newest MX series and based on reviews, had too many concerns about compatibility with some of the older devices, (mixed mode may not work), etc....So looked at these and they are much better priced and could get 2 - 3 packs (total of 6) and truly blanket the house. With the 3 nodes we had it was barely reaching the back and front of the house and nodes had to be in one or two particular spots, otherwise they wouldn't connect. Considered adding nodes, but since ours were first gen and given the cost, this package seemed to be the best option for the money.Since it was almost an identical swap, screen grabbed all the settings from the original velop, manual dns servers, dyndns, port forwarding, all the individual wifi rules, all those little things that you might forget about....and proceeded to switch everything over using the same network name (hoping that everything would just work). Started up and configured the main node (it is acting as the router) and the internet was only down for only about 10 minutes while everything was setup to provide the basic wifi. Worked like a charm. That single node seemed to blanket the house really well, even the furthest bedroom that was always problematic could get a signal.Wondering if I might have regretted buying 6 of them.....speed testing the wifi proved that this wasn't a mistake. Proceeded to setup 2 nodes downstairs and then 2 more nodes upstairs. Turns out this was a good thing. Testing the wifi upstairs with only router, there was definitely a speed impact. Also found that the wifi adapter on the computer in that room was a bit older so just used the wired connection to the node and worked great, no more having to worry about where the node is in the room either.Thought I was done and then found out that a laptop downstairs couldn't see the new network....was going what the heck??!?!?!?! So grabbed a usb wifi adapter and after a little research, some chipsets did not play well with the newer wifi6 stuff....downloaded the new driver from intel (released oct 2020 -to fix this problem).....super! Can see the network and get the same high speed connection there as well.Spent another 25-35 min putting in the settings from the old system so that all the 'stuff' we have still works, all total (w/o the laptop wifi issue) less than 2hours to setup 5 nodes. Yup only 5...still have the 6th, but haven't figured out where to even put it...the signals are so strong everywhere now, even the garage, that don't see a need. That said, paying for 6 and only using 5...still less expensive than buying the newer mx stuff.If you don't need bleeding edge tech, but want something that's new enough and just works, these are really great and honestly easier to setup than the original Velop, as those were first gen tech. They have only been running for less than 24 hours but hopefully they will provide many years of service, as the original Velop has done.

Title: Works Great!!!
Review: I like the router. I ordered it to replace the one from my ISP that I was using, as they didn't have anything that would support WPA3 and could do Mesh. I live in Germany, and yes it is 100-240V. I got it and followed the instructions for setup, I had to restart my Modem to get it to let got of the old router settings. Other than that I didn't have any issues, you can do everything through the App, but you can do it on a PC too.Signal strength is good, I can even get it outside from my car, which was a struggle before.The Firmware updated in the middle of the night after I set it up. I expect anything I order to need an update after I buy it.So far, so good.

Title: In general quite good... not sure if it overheated if it is used as a switch
Review: I think it worked quite well, and the amazing thing is, if one unit is one the 3rd floor, then on the first floor, I was able to copy a file from a NAS to my computer at about 50MB/s (50 megabytes / s) using wireless. But my home is wooden common in California, so if your house is built of bricks or cement, it may differ.So if my home Internet can go up to 20Mbps or 50Mbps, that's about 2MB/s or 5MB/s, and so the wireless is an overkill for Internet traffic.One catch about this set is that, I at one point used one unit as the main unit after the ISP modem. I didn't want to use the ISP modem as it may not be gigabit (could be 100Mbps) and I didn't want to overwork it anyway, so from that modem switch box, I connected a Ethernet cable to this Linksys unit, and then from this Linksys unit, to 2 NAS, and to an Apple 802.11ac wireless access point (as a backup for wireless), and then later, disconnected the Apple wireless access point and ran an Ethernet cable to the first floor and connected another of the Linksys unit. However, using it this way, the Internet was choking... at times I had to wait 10 seconds for a website to start loading. I am not sure why. Maybe it overheated and so the unit was throttling. So later I got a $30 gigabit switch, and connected the ISP modem to this switch first, and then from there, connected to downstairs and to the Apple access point. On the linksys, it was merely connected to 2 NASs. And so now Internet is super fast...I might even connect the 2 NAS to the switch as well... so the Linksys unit is dedicated for Wireless...Another thing is, I noticed, if I put a Linksys unit on the first floor, and don't connect an Ethernet cable from the 3rd floor to it, then the overall speed if I copy a file from the NAS to the Mac is slower. Why? I think it is due to the Mac connecting to this "intermediate access point", and the intermediate access point now has to transmit data to 3rd floor and to my Mac, so it is running at half the speed as before. Before, the Mac was transferring data to the 3rd floor unit at speed s, and now, the Mac is transferring to the intermediate unit at speed s / 2, and the intermediate unit is using the other s / 2 bandwidth to walk to upstairs, so I ended up having only 1/2 the speed... oh well, so I am not sure how this problem can be solved.

Review: Es un buen producto en general, lo compre porque es de los pocos que son totalmente compatibles con HomeKit, el hardware es excelente, un diseño hermoso y en general de buena calidad. Pero el software deja mucho que desear, esta lleno de errores, se traba seguido y hay que estarlo reiniciando, es lento. En general creo que es su apartado más débil. Otro aspecto que he notado con el uso es que aunque en general es un producto confiable y eficiente, de vez en cuando por algún motivo pierden la conexión al módem y hay que estarlos reiniciando, no pasa seguido pero si me ha pasado al menos 3 veces durante estos meses.
