Ratings and reviews

Refuses to open, just shows an ad for Linksys new products. I've used the app to manage my mesh network for years, and it's been great. But they updated the app and now it's garbage. Nothing works on this "app" once I'm at this screen other than the ads to buy new Linksys products. Even the "troubleshooter" can't reboot my router. It says I should unplug it. It lies and says my mesh network has no Internet access while the network nodes are all blue and I'm watching TV on mesh network data.

Loved my Linkys Velop mesh network from 3 years ago. Of course I get the old "end of life " email that I need to buy a new system. Ok. Got the Velop 6e Pro. Since then, app is glitchy, sometimes connects. Most of the time it says no internet and have to reopen the app 6 times before it finally loads. No updates available for app because I'm always checking for one with all of these glitches. Feels like you released hardware that's ahead of your app software.

App is trash. 90% of the time I open it and it says my router is offline despite the fact that everything is still connected and online. Takes numerous times opening to connect. Nodes show offline, while actively being used. Better off just using the web interface for network management, though it's not much better. Maybe it's not the app, but just poor equipment design. Tired of this app and the router. Done. 5/6 - Yep, still trash.
