TendaNova Mesh WiFi System MW5 - Covers up to 3500 sq.ft - AC1200 Whole Home WiFi Mesh System - Dual-Band Mesh Network for Home Internet - Gigabit Mesh Router for 60 Devices - Plug-in Design - 3-Pack

I am an experienced network tech and am more than happy with the Tenda Nova solution. First, price - I purchased two three packs for the special price of $120. One was for a neighbor and the other for me. A brief word regarding the two houses these units were placed in. My neighbor and I both live in Ecuador. Almost all houses here have concrete wals, floor, and ceilings. This makes connectivity throughout a house extremely difficult. My neighbors house is approximately 3,000 sq feet and relatively thin and long. Her ISP’s connection is at the extreme end of the house and she has never had reliable connectivity at the opposite end of the house. My house is a three story building. I have always had a wifi router placed in my attic, and a repeater on the first floor. The performance on the first floor was spotty AND streaming video in my TV room on the second floor (Roku) was inconsistent at best.Setup - I had already downloaded the Tenda IOS app prior to receving the units so I was ready to go. Plugged in the first unit and received a notification that it was using a DHCP connection in less than a minute. Then it was time to add the next two units. Because the Tenda units are pre-linked all that is required is that you locate the two companion units in a suitable location and wait while they boot up and connect. I have significant experience with Google Wifi and Eero and although I love both of these products their setup is a bit more involved. Also, because the Tenda units are pre-linked (and the notice to simply plug in the 2 additional units is rather small) users might try to use the Tenda app feature to add another Tenda unit (which will fail). Just follow the directions and plug the other two units in, check they have a good signal, and you’re good to go.Performance - living in Ecuador bandwith is expensive. My neighbor only has a low speed DSL connection at 5Mbps (on a good day) mine is a fiber connection at 50Mbps. Many of the online performance tests for the Tenda unit put them a little below or above the Google wifi product and below the Eero. For the speeds we have here in Ecuador the aggregate throughput of the Tenda is MORE than ample. In my neighbor’s house i had 100% wifi signal throughout the entire house. A solid 3.5Mbs on speedtest throughout the house (this is her typical wired performance with DSL). Similar experience in my house. A consistent 49Mbps everywhere.IOS App - the Tenda app is almost identical in look to the Eero application. I don’t like the upload/download indicators at the top of the Tenda app as much as Eero’s bandwidth testing results. Tenda’s app gives you an instantaneous measurement rather than a bandwidth test history (which I prefer). I also wish there was a restart option to reboot the units (although I haven’t yet had any need to reboot anything). Nice and simple app that gives you access to the basic things you need. If you’re a tech or advanced user used to a web based router interface with access to deep features this will be dissapointing but that’s not who or what this sytem (or Google wifi, eero, etc) is geared towards.Tech support - I have seen some negative comments in people’s reviews of Tenda’s tech support. I had no need to speak with technical support during or after purchase (yet). I did however contact them prior to purchase to ask some questions. Got through instantly. The agent realized my questions were more technical than she could answer and suggested I speak with an engineer who she promised would call back. Got a call later that day and got knowledgeable answers to my questions.In summary, the product in my experience is a great, low cost, mesh solution. Incredibly easy to install. Decent application. Good tech support. Great performance (for my situation). Amazing value for the money. Highly recommended.

Ok so, this may sound strong but, the Tenda Nova mesh wifi system is one of the absolute best decisions I've ever made. 10 mins to setup all 3, no issues, no need to call Tech Spt. The app is clear and easy to understand, there was nothing to it except creating a password. I was worried about coverage because my home is split level, nothing ever worked covering the entire house. A computer company and 2 cable companies told me many years ago that split levels are notoriously difficult for wifi and I'd never have full coverage. I previously had a nighthawk router (which cost more than this system when I purchased it!) and extenders but still barely signal upstairs. No fault to them, I don't know if mesh was even around back then and if it was I wasn't aware. This system has 0 problems providing a strong and consistent signal all over. I walked to my back fence, carport, front yard, furthest room on each level and across the street to my mailbox...the signal didn't even flicker. I wish every dollar I spent was this worth it. We'll see how it holds up, I'll update if any issues.Almoat a year update: One box is not working even though the blue light is on. The system shows it as disconnected and I have unplugged it several times and dis what i could do, so, gotta buy another one. The other 2 are fine, I still have 12 devices connected and the one being out I didnt even notice. I just randomly checked the app and saw it was red. Still one of the best purchases because I could not get wifi all over my house before this.

After two days of using the Nova configuration that I purchased, it’s mostly positive thoughts. My house is not large—approximately 1,600 sqft, two stories. However the family room on the first floor is on a slab with no second floor above it, and it has plagued me with WiFi issues. So, my main goal for this product was to provide more stable WiFi for the family room. My secondary goal was to have better coverage on my property as well so I can enjoy WiFi coverage on my deck or in my yard. To those points, this product has provided excellent coverage and improved the stability of my WiFi network compared to my old setup of a main router and Netgear extender.Pros:- the Smart Assistant feature is great for setting up devices that can only connect to the 2.4 GHz band (like my WeMo). The WeMo devices are totally different headache so don’t get my started.- extremely easy setup following the little quick start booklet that was included with the box as well as the app instructions.- no obvious handoff issues between nodes as I walk through my house.Cons:- the lack of LAN ports on the back of the hub. However, I repurposed my older router as an Ethernet switch which resolved that issue (I’m not very networking savvy, but YouTube works wonders on setting that up)- I definitely see a speed drop off. I’m with Spectrum and rated for 100 mbps download and 15 mbps upload (I think). I definitely don’t get those speeds when connected to the nodes, but for streaming Netflix, Hulu, etc., even if I’m down to 20 mbps, it’s still more than sufficient.- for some reason, the Tenda app shows that I am connected to a node further away in the house than the one I’m very close to. Not sure why it does that, but since my speeds and coverage are still adequate, I’m not overly concerned.- the node sizes are quite large, and if you want to utilize their built-in LAN port, you can’t have anything plugged into the adjacent outlet. I wish they had designed the unit to have the port on the side or top, but oh well.Hopefully it continues to provide stable, long-term coverage; however, if the product quality diminishes in the future, I’ll make an effort to update my review. Hopefully this helps anyone looking to purchase this product!Update #1 (6/1/20): After using the Nova MW5 for about 2-3 weeks, my only real complaint is the issue with my Echo Dot. While streaming my favorite live radio stations, the audio stream frequently stutters and drops. I tried reconnecting my Dot to the Nova network on the 5 GHz band, but the Dot reverts back to the 2.4 GHz band. My dot has line of sight to one of the Nova nodes so I’m not sure why there is an issue. What is even more odd is the regular Echo has no problems streaming the live radio stations. It’s still not a deal breaker for me for the price of this system but certainly disappointing. Other than that, the mesh network continues to operate well.Update #2 (6/29/20): I’ve noticed that my Belkin WeMo smart plugs will randomly not turn on some nights or not turn off some nights. The WeMos have been troublesome since I bought them (terrible software), but they were usually fairly stable once set up with my standard WiFi setup; however, on this mesh network, I typically have at least 1-2 issues per week. It’s frustrating, but I’ll still maintain the 4-star review due to the pros far outweighing the nagging cons.

Son funcionales para ampliar la señal del wifi en casa o negocio, sin falla y muy fácil de configurar. Se me hace buen valor costo beneficios

No se puede configurar el producto. Se ha intentado varias veces e incluso contacté a mi proveedor de internet y el producto no funciona

Fácil de instalar y configurar. Trae un cable Ethernet Cat. 5E corto y dos puertos, uno WAN para conectarlo directamente a tu módem/router si así lo deseas y un LAN.El módem de TotalPlay no me era suficiente para cubrir toda la casa. A un cuarto en el 2do piso no llegaba la banda 5G y la 2.4 llegaba bastante limitada. Un repetidor tampoco daba el ancho pero ahora con el mesh ya no tengo ese problema. Aún y teniendo 2 de los 3 aparatos que hacen el mesh conectados por Wi-Fi la disminución de la velocidad es aceptable y van bastante bien.Lo único malo, porque por más que busque en la app no encontré la opción, es que no puedes ocultar el nombre de la red Wi-Fi.

Eu já tinha esse roteador há 1ano e meio, pq realmente não dá problema e o sinal conseguiu atingir a maior parte da casa. Só que minha casa tem muitas paredes, é grande pra cima e foram colocadas câmeras ao lado de fora que precisavam de um sinal mais forte, ai acrescentei mais dois pontos e agora não tem canto que não pegue muito bem a internet.Sobre o vendedor: excelente! Era pra chegar entre 29/01/24 e 31/01/24, mas chegou hoje 20/01/24, ou seja, muito antes. Fora isso veio lacrado, até coloquei o plástico que lavrava na foto, vem com selo da Anatel e tá funcionando perfeitamente bem. Pq tô falando tudo isso?! Pq fui comprar esse Tenda em outro site de compras, com outro vendedor, no qual a propaganda dizia que era roteador TENDA NOVA, mas veio falsificado, sem selo da Anatel e o aplicativo não reconhecia como novo ponto Tenda. Consegui devolver lá, mas é uma situação chata. Então, faço questão de falar que esse vendedor aqui na Amazon presta o serviço que promete, de qualidade, vale a pena comprar aqui. E o preço aqui também foi melhor!

A descrição do produto esconde que é um MW3 mas da a descrição de um MW6.É difícil ser claro quando posso enganar!O equipamento faz o que está descrito nele mas não é um MW6 como menciona a descrição no site!
