Yes I have to Agree on my new Velop. Been going since Sunday and no disconnects. And to make it even better they stand behind the product with 3 years of support. Not 90 days like someone we know.

I'm torn between the Velop, going full crazy and getting a UNIFI setup or getting the Amplifi HD and two more routers used as AP's with eth backhaul :\

I am using it with 2 nodes on ethernet backhaul. The velop is working fine for this.

Only thing I dont like about the Velop (and this is trivial I know) is that they dont have those smaller AP's that plug directly into an oulet like the orbi I think its the 40 series I bought. We've got a pretty large area we need coverage for and its nice having the 40 out in the garage kind of why I'm leaning towards going full kill on the Amplifi HD if this beta firmware doensnt clear up the issues. Also I'm being told there is no beta 2.2 available :\

I agree the plugin was nice as i had one. But I always had issues with it losing a connection and I needed a wired connection. And while the velop does not have a plugin module. If you look aroumd the regular velop can be found for the same price as the plugin.
