Tenda Nova Mesh WiFi System MW5G - Covers up to 3500 sq.ft - AC1200 Whole Home WiFi Mesh System - Gigabit Mesh Router for 80 Devices - Dual-Band Mesh Network to Replace Router and Extender - 3-Pack

Excellent unit for the price. I had good coverage all over the house with 3 units, and all the way down to our creek, which is about 250 feet from the house.Later, one unit was destroyed by a voltage surge (no fault of the unit) despite being protected by a surge suppressor. It was our main unit wired into the modem, and so all wireless signal was lost. Just hooked up another at the same site, and had coverage again but with only two units. Bought another 2-unit Tenda system, and now we have four units with even more coverage than before (which we didn't actually need). Installation of the new units was as simple as using the app on my phone and scanning the code on each new unit. The rest of the install was automatic.We have an ATT installed modem/wireless router that our main unit was hooked to. That wireless router has its own Wifi, but we don't use it as the coverage is inferior. Also we have wired ethernet throughout the house, via the outlet on the main Tenda mesh unit, through ethernet switches.Highly recommend.

First off, setup was very easy. I have setup several systems in the past and this setup was no problem. I love the coverage! I will admit I bought the 3 device bundle and did need to purchase 2 more devices in order to get a more steady signal. 5 devices are more than enough to cover a 2 story 5 bedroom home. We do a lot of console online game play and we found that, though the wireless signal was good, we had better results when we connected the console directly into the mesh device. This was easy to do because the cubes can be placed any place there is an outlet. Now, I’ve used the Tenda app with their routers and I have to say the app design for this mesh system seems a bit incomplete. You can still see every device attached to your network and set restrictions if you necessary. I did have some issues when setting up my video doorbell, but with some quick research I as able to get it done.

Bought the Tenda in July of this year and the package arrived quickly and to my surprise it was well protected.Once the application is downloaded to your cellular, tablet or computer (in my case was a Samsung S10+) the installation is performed fast and without any hitches. The addition of satellite (wireless nodes as they call them) is done within seconds. I have a 1320 square foot apartment with a lot of concrete walls and there was no interference whatsoever.The system was working great and the coverage was better than ever with no dips in speed.After six weeks of use the wireless node (satellite) stopped working and the small indicator would not change from the color magenta. I followed the trouble shooting guide to no avail doing everything it explained like pressing the reset button for "x" amount of seconds, placing the wireless node closer to its primary and even making the faulty node the primary and the one that was correctly working the satellite.Once I realized that all that I had done did not work I called their customer service and spoke to a very professional gentlemen who walked my through Tenda's trouble shooting parameters to reassure that the wireless node was indeed faulty. The phone call lasted close to 30 minutes since but was very cordial and professional.The tech support realized that the problem was definitely a "hardware issue" and asked me to send them an email (with photographs) detailing where I had purchased the equipment, model number and serial number.I sent the email and within a window of 24 hours received a email from Amit stating that he would be the one to assist me from this moment on. Amit's professionalism was outstanding! Thanks to his patience and guidance I was able to return the item and will be receiving a new node in approximately five business days.Will update this product review once the new node has been installed.***November 2, 2019 UPDATE ***I have not received the second unit yet but received the UPS tracking number so that's the good new.The BAD News is that the Tenda router died on me yesterday. Spent roughly 2 hours troubleshooting the system to no avail.

So I bought two 2-packs because I am an idiot who thought that my parents would need more than two in a 2 story 3100 sqft home. Nnoope. With just two they have 5 bars throughout the house. And 3 bars at their friends home two doors over.Setup was very easy and straight forward; the last time I set up their main router and two access points it quite a hassle getting them all to sync, but with these I put the second cube up, prepared myself for having to do some configurations and it had automatically set itself up before I even opened the app.Now the negatives for me are mostly the missing static ports, DMZ creation, and no web based interface. At my home I use these fairly often as I have game servers that I run, but if you don't use those, like my parents, then this shouldn't even be a blip in your decision. Especially because they seem to do regular firmware updates so who knows what the future holds.If I didn't care about those things I would highly recommend these no-hassle, mega-range, attractive to look at, and inexpensive mesh router network.
