  • Linksys Velop

    By gmbuen (Pcmac user)

    We have Verizon Fios fiber optic which is suppose to be the fastest. They got changed to Frontier. Started to slow down. Then started to have issue connecting wireless to the the wifi wireless. They changed the modem first. It was ok for a short time. Then started having issue again connecting. Technician came and change the modem again and upgraded my service to a faster internet connection. Again started to have issue a couple days later. Another technician came and added a box in the garage. I told him that we use to have very good connection to the wifi before the company changed to Frontier. He recommended to get a google whole house wifi extender. I bought a this app system. It’s a great system. Now we have a very good wifi connection anywhere in the house. Even across the street I can connect to the wifi. Thanks to this app Velop. I recommend this system to anyone that has wifi connection issue.

    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 this app and at the time I had the best this app 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
  • Great Stable App, Lacks Basic Features

    By Mnjhhk (Pcmac user)

    This app surprised me. Netgear and a few other systems have apps, but they lag, log out, clear data, and lack features. This app stays logged into your router system even if you aren’t connected to your local wifi. However, the app and wifi lacks a few features. Most common routers have a data usage intergration, with options to shut off the internet when it is reached. I wish this system would allow you to set a limit, since most internet providers do have a limit with overages. There is very basic parental controls, and it takes a bit of time to figure out how to use it. Sometimes if you unpause a device, it stays paused for several minutes. Setting up the router was easy, although it took about a week for the wifi to stabilize. Make sure that the node connected to the internet directly is a tri band node, with the dual ones in other locations. If these features were added and revised, this would be an A+ product.
  • Handy App

    By My.Iphone7.And.Itunes (Pcmac user)

    Very helpful and informative. The app used to be problematic on occasion where it would not let me connect and login, even though the Internet is working just fine and throughput seems good, even after resetting the router I could not log into the app. Just had to wait a little while and it was good again. I believe they fix that issue but I haven’t seen it in quite a while now So, I may not use this app frequently (at least a couple times a week). It’s quite handy for when I want to reset my router, or when I need to pause Internet activity on certain devices (the parental controls can be a godsend When your maniac children do not want to listen to their parents and go to bed on time.... ;-). Some other great things about the app - - I love being able to easily and quickly set up guest Wi-Fi - It’s simple and handy to send a friend a text with my Wi-Fi password - and a quick scan will tell me all devices that are connected. These are just the basics without even getting into the more advanced settings. Whether you are Tech savvy or had to have your Son/Grandson set your router up for you —. Give it a shot. You may not end up using it very often, but you’ve got nothing to lose, and if you do, I think you’ll be happy with it!
