r/LinksysVelop

I have an older vlp01 system. I’m down to 3 nodes because the one I had in my garage died.

My garage is about 14 feet but through 2 brick walls from the nearest node and my deck is on the far side of the garage. I’m trying to get reliable service on my deck to stream tv.

Are there any systems that will hold up to the heat and humidity of the garage/deck? Ideally something I can patch in with the 3 working nodes.

My deck is probably 35 feet and through 3 brick walls from the nearest one. It would be some work but I could potentially get an Ethernet line out there but it wouldn’t be fun.

Any help would be great. Trying to get this together before fall.

Hi all, hoping someone's hit this before.

Setup: Velop WHW03, 4-node mesh (1 parent + 3 child nodes), been running fine for a while.

What happened: While troubleshooting an unrelated roaming/SSID sync issue, I ended up factory resetting all 4 nodes (following Linksys's official reset steps — held reset until light went red, faded, then flashed bright red before releasing). After resetting, every single node is now stuck on a solid red light and won't progress to purple/blue.

What I've tried so far:

- Waited well over 10 minutes fully untouched on multiple nodes (including one full 10+ min uninterrupted wait on the parent node specifically)

- Clean power cycles (unplug, wait 10 sec, replug) on each node individually

- Confirmed all 4 nodes are on separate power outlets/circuits (ruled out a bad strip)

- Confirmed modem/internet is fine and Ethernet from parent node to modem is solid

- Nothing is blinking or pulsing — all 4 are steady solid red, not flashing

All 4 doing this simultaneously after resets makes me think it's not 4 coincidental hardware failures, but I'm out of ideas on what else to try. Linksys support is closed until Monday.

Anyone seen solid red (not blinking) persist like this after a proper factory reset on WHW03s? Is there a firmware recovery step I'm missing, or is this just a support ticket at this point?

Thanks in advance.
