Once you get a handle on the app, this is super easy to set up and seamlessly integrates in to my system. Mesh wifi is the best way to do it, and these relatively cheap boxes handle it perfectly.

Ich halte mich kurz. Nach mehreren Versuchen mit Repeater und Co nun endlich stabiles Internet auf 2 Etagen und 200 qm. Installation ist mehr als einfach, wer schonmal einen Stecker in die Steckdose gesteckt hat und eine APP am Handy installiert hat, kann das in drei Minuten selbst installieren.

Mw12 is way far better than mw3 mesh routers.

I bought the Tenda MW12-3 because the flat I live in has solid brick walls throughout and they absolutely kill the Wi-Fi signal from any router/hub I've had.Here's a little background. I'm a Virgin Media customer and to say that the Wi-Fi from the Hub 3 is woefully inadequate is the understatement of all understatements. It's so bad that I had to put it in modem mode and connect a separate router to get decent Wi-Fi in the same room as the Hub 3 sits. However, even the Wi-Fi signal from that Router could not maintain sufficient integrity through to the kitchen or bedrooms and when I upgraded my broadband to 500Mb the separate router just wasn't capable of those speeds so, I had to abandon it and revert back to the Virgin Hub 3. This just wasn't going to cut the mustard. Enter Tenda Mesh Wi-Fi!When browsing Mesh options, I opted on Tenda due to the cost and the overall favourable reviews they were receiving so, the price to quality ratio seemed too good to be true.Now that I'd settled on the brand, the next decision was which model should I choose. Given my experiences with the severe dampening effect the walls in my flat have on Wi-Fi signal, I was swithering between the MW6 and MW12. The MW12 seemed like overkill, given the coverage but, I was filled with dread at the thought of buying the MW6 and finding that these damned walls killed the signal from the Primary Node I'd have in the living room to the Secondary Nodes in the Bedroom and Kitchen. I therefore opted for the MW12 "Overkill" option.The MW12 was very easy to set up and I had all nodes set up in probably half an hour, most likely less than that. I would like to point out that many people say to put their Virgin Hub into Modem mode but, as I no longer had a separate Router for my Ethernet connected devices in the living room, I decided to simply try switching off the Wi-Fi on the Hub 3 and connecting the Primary Node to it to see if that would work first of all, and it did. It works perfectly. So, there's no need to put your Virgin Hub in Modem mode!To say my Wi-Fi experience has been transformative after switching to the Tenda MW12 doesn't even seem to do it justice. I would say though, and this is far from a negative to me, that the signal is so strong now that even when I'm in the bedroom, devices still seem to be connecting to the Primary Node in the living room and with a strong signal! So, perhaps for my flat and coverage needs, it was indeed overkill and the MW6 most likely would have been more than sufficient. I do not however regret the purchase as now I have a full, strong, reliable Wi-Fi signal in the second bedroom as well, which is my cinema room.I also like the fact that each node has 2 RJ45 outputs on them, which is great for connecting additional devices by ethernet to the nodes, which is sometimes a preferable option.If you are experiencing poor Wi-Fi signals, Tenda is the kit to get, in my honest opinion. Quality at a fantastic price and highly recommended. Just be sure to opt for the model that most appropriately suits your home, especially if you are on a budget.One final note; when I initially set up the system I was getting upwards of 300Mbps, usually close to and sometimes just over 400Mbps, when testing the Wi-Fi on my phone, whilst near the Primary node. This morning I noticed that this had dropped to around 100Mbps. This was not caused by the Tenda Wi-Fi, it was the pitiful Virgin Hub 3 at its best! I gave the Hub 3 a "quick" reboot and now I'm back to +300Mbps.
