NFT: Linksys Velop Mesh system

LG in NYC : 12/3/2020 2:06 pm
simple question - for anyone who owns this mesh system, do you have issues with one or more of the nodes constantly going offline?

I have 4 nodes and it seems once a week one or more goes off line and it takes forever to get back up. super annoying considering how much I paid for these damn things.

Not sure it matters but I bought the first 2 about 18 mos/2 years ago and added the other 2 over time.

for users of other mesh systems, do you have similar issues with yours?

I just purchased my mesh system about a month ago

and I spent a ton of time researching. I ended up going with the TP-Link Deco system, because it's expandable with other deco units, and I can upgrade to wifi 6 an they still all play nice with each other.

One of the things I learned was the backhaul channel, which usually means if it's tri band or not. This is the channel that connects the mesh back to the modem so it doesn't use the broadcasting frequencies to communicate back. If your system doesn't have a backhaul channel, it may lose connection depending on the location, try moving it to a new location in the house and see if it loses connection. Also since you bought it a while ago, I would check for firmware updates.

My son just set me up the Google mesh and I love it. Im now watching games in my ( detached ) garage man cave. WiFi everywhere. No problems to speak of in the 2 months Ive had it.

I've had it about a year now. Zero problems. I can sit in pool and get on it. Highly recommend it.

does one generally need the tri-band?
