Tenda Nova MW3-2 Mesh WiFi System-Up to 2 Room Coverage. Whole Home WiFi Router and Extender Replacement, AC1200 Mesh Router for Wireless Internet, Works with Alexa, Parental Control, 2-pack

This kit consists of three nodes, one of which you set up as the primary node, and then link the other two to it. The nodes are considerably larger than the nodes on my previous mesh system - I suspect this is a consequence of the greater coverage on offer.Unfortunately, in my original kit, one node refused to do anything and I had to send the kit back for a replacement. As part of this process I dealt with Tenda support as well as Amazon. Both were extremely responsive and helpful & it was good to know that Tenda will be quick to try and assist if you run into any problems.The new kit duly arrived and setup was completed in about 25 minutes. For various reasons to do with how certain devices are on our network, I set the mesh up in bridge mode. Coverage throughout the house and into the garden has been great. This system replaced a (non-wi-fi 6) system with 5 nodes, yet works with a greater range. Even before we got any wi-fi 6 devices, we were already seeing data speeds that were more than 5 times faster than the previous system. We were regularly getting device internet connection speeds of 250MBps in the more difficult areas of the house, 500Mbps plus in stronger areas.One thing I noticed fairly quickly was how stable the nodes were. On my previous system (from a competitor to Tenda), I would quite often find that one of the nodes had stopped working, though often fairly easily repaired with a reboot. The Tenda mesh gave a solid performance in this respect for about 6 months, before suddenly deciding that only the primary node would work. The other nodes refused to rejoin the same mesh and the only way to resolve this was to completely reset all the nodes and start again. In the year that we have had this system, this has now happened 3 times. It is irritating when it happens, but it is quick to resolve if you accept straight away that you are going to have to start from scratch. I’m not certain why this happens (perhaps something to do with firmware updates). I feel like I have dwelled upon what has been a relatively minor issue overall. This is my 3rd mesh system and all of them have had similar issues at some point.In summary, easy to setup, great coverage & excellent speeds. Price is normally good for this performance too. The only negative is having to start from scratch 3 times within a year, although total time taken to set up still considerably less than that spent rebooting my previous system.

Aite here's the skinnyI called virgin media to get wifi pods as my specific circumstances are that the location of the hub and the range of the 5ghz high speed are annoying.It doesn't reach a very specific area of the house which happens to include the bedroomsThe only way VM are giving me these pods is either an 8 pound a month charge for the privilege, or being locked into a monthly contract with o2 for 18 months to get the "free"Neither option suited. Friends mentioned mesh, Google the details, Amazon prime day deal -Set up - plug them in downstairs near route with one plugged into via ethernet cable provided in box.Wait till lights hold greenUnplug the one you want upstairs plug it back in and wait for it's light to hold greenDone.Download the app, connect to the "nova" network. Change name and password.Done.Took less than 20 mins I now have the speed I pay for running consistently all the way to my damn car but hey, it works. My pc gets a smooth connection.No lag and no issues.Product good.Simple.Bye.

Purchased 29/05/23 and delivered 30/05/23. Setup time was less than 15 minutes, which gave me full coverage in the house, and all of the garden. Everything works well, and I've manged to relegate an old pair of powerline adapters that were connecting a media server to the old router.The only issue is with my Amazon Echo speaker; it drops out intermittently for a few seconds and then resumes play again. The interrupted playback is extremely frustrating, and sadly there is no resolution. I emailed Tenda customer services, who replied within an hour with the following:"Thank you for contacting Tenda Support.Unfortunately, we must confirm that currently there is not a proven incompatibility with Amazon Echo speakers, but sometimes they don't work properly with our devices.The cause is still unknown and our engineers are running tests on it, but at the moment we don't have a fix yet.I'm sorry we can't offer a solution in this occasion.We are at your disposal for any further information you may need.Thank you."I have bodged a workaround though. I've set up a TP Link range extender and have connected the Echo to that. The range extender is connected to the MW3 system and the Echo plays without interruption. It appears that the issue only manifests itself when the Echo is connected directly to the SSID of the MW3's. There are various posts on forums noting the same issue other than to "try it it bridged mode", which I don't want to do.So, one star dropped due to the above issue. Would still recommend though.

Was looking for wifi Extender and decide to go for mesh as nbn modem setup in garage and double story house. Having brought Nova mesh 3 pack for discounted price of $104 including Saturday delivery. It is super easy to setup not even 3 minutes. And the coverage area in house has improved so well would highly recommended this product. As similar items from other brands are easily triple the price

Product was too easy to setup with it's app and works great on our two storey house. No more weak spots.

This wifi extender came with an AU power cord and was very easy to set up!!!It boosted my wifi to the maximum speed all over my two storey house. Great product 👌

Nothing to dislike, one has to experiment to get the best positioning, but aside from that it was easy to install the app worked great to set up. The only challenge was connecting the smart devices to the the 2.4 GH network, but one has to select the option in settings to connect the phone to the 2.4 network and all was fine. The videos on you tube were very helpful.

Bought this and was complete waste of money, it would never detect WIFI networks. Tried at numerous locations and it would never connect to any WIFI so now just packed away in cupboard. A complete waste of money
