Ratings and Reviews
Velop WiFi
Always liked Linksys products. Velop another good one. Finally made the decision to upgrade ageing airport. 6 months on WiFi signal coverage much better and app is easy to use. Few if any problems.
Recently the Speed Check feature was removed from the app menu. After asking via feedback if this feature could be returned, the next update it was back.
Keep up the good work Linksys.
Has potential
Linksys has a good reputation when it comes to home networking. They provide a solution that is secure and can be setup with easy to follow instructions and includes feature rich applications. And they haven’t missed the mark with Velop or this application. However I will point out some issues I’m having for the developers to consider with future updates.
I find the app a little chunky. By that I mean each page takes sometime to load and when back page is selected you are taken back to the dashboard rather than the menu page. This can be quite tedious if you are searching for a option that is hidden away in the vast option menu. Almost to many options are presented for the average user. I would recommend simplifying it somehow or presenting it differently in the UI. Something that would improve the UI would be the addition of a search feature in the menu page similar to that of spotlight search in apple setting menu allowing the user to search for an option and jump to that page once selected. This would resolve the issue I have with locating an option when there is so many options to choose from in the menu.
I am running IOS 15.5 on iPhone 12 Pro Max and Latest version of Linksys app so I don’t think it’s an issue with either hardware or outdated software on my end.
Looking forward to seeing improvements in the app regarding page load times and in menu UI.
Thanks
App limited functionality
I am a home network power user. Due to the how my house was designed (me and my parents live a duplex, so they’re right next door) we share our network with Ethernet backhaul with about 6 routers (all MX4200) and we have 3 on standby as extra nodes
When the network freezes (which happens more often than not) we can only restart the main router through the app. The other routers have to be manually restarted from the Wall. I need a way in which all nodes attached to the networks are given the command to restart through the app
Also, I need a way to force Ethernet backhaul and not connect wirelessly for each node as this can resolve many of the network freezing issues.
