Peter Fraedrich –
Whole-home mesh WiFi for Under $100? Absolutely.
I was skeptical of these when I bought them; all the reviews I read said to go with either Google WiFI or Eero, but I really didn’t want to spend $200+ on a mesh setup, especially without knowing how coverage would be in our new house.My personal set up is running in “APmode” with a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter (which I also HIGHLY recommend) acting as router, DHCP, and secondary DNS for my network, with a Synology NAS running primary DNS.– SETUP –Setup was very very easy. Its pretty much plug in, turn on, and pair with the Tenda app.– INTERFACE –I took 1 star off for the UI because there’s no web UI as of this review. Tenda is supposed to be rolling a web management UI out as a firmware update sometime soon-ish, but its not out yet. As of this review, all management is done via the Tenda smartphone app. It works well, but isn’t as full-featured as I would like, but I’m a developer by day and my depth of interest in customization or metrics is probably way deeper than most. In the app you can see your online nodes, what devices are connected, and all the usual info — perfectly usable.– ISSUES –The only issue that I had was related to DHCP leases for the nodes. When running in AP mode, the nodes aren’t responsible for their own DHCP leases which has the potential to cause problems should leases expire and different IP’s get assigned. This causes the nodes to not be able to communicate with each other, breaking the mesh. This can be worked around by one of two ways: 1) dont use AP mode, or 2) assign static DHCP reservations to the nodes on first boot BEFORE pairing. I didn’t do this and had to re-create my mesh after a power outage, but have since assigned static DHCP leases and have had no issues since. Unless you’re running a slightly more complicated setup as I am this should never be an issue, though.– FEATURES –The addition of an Ethernet port on the nodes is brilliant. I have one node stationed behind my smart TV with the TV tethered via CAT6e to the node. This eliminates a wireless hop that would otherwise have to exist if I weren’t able to hard-wire my TV into the network.– BANDWIDTH –The stated bandwidth for the mesh is 1200 Mbps, however real-world bandwidth is closer to 90Mpbs with multiple devices and streaming IoT on the network (I have a few WiFI CCTV cameras, smart tvs, and other bandwidth-heavy things). I have yet to hit bottlenecks in bandwidth even when streaming 4K video over the mesh along with all the other crap on my network.– CONCLUSION –If you want a hyper-feature-rich experience and Gigabit WiFi speeds, go look at Google WiFi or Eero, but if you want dead-simple, bulletproof, no-frills, no-BS mesh WiFi, this is the setup for you.5/5 would buy again

Great product – easy to install and works for what it is made for
I find very few electronic wi-fi products done right, this is one of them.1) It is great value for money compared to other whole house mesh wi-fi systems in market.2) Works great – I have kept one cube in basement where my router is, one at first floor and the third on second floor. I have Smart TVs, Wi-Fi Connected DVD players, tablet, computers/laptops, VOIP phone, cell phones being used in all area and I can say that I am impressed – I see excellent connection everywhere in my home. Devices connected in the first go and have not dropped connection ever. Granted I have used this product for only 2 days, however, I was so disappointed with my other system that this one is a marked improvement.3) It is super easy to install. Connect any of the cubes to your router, follow directions to set-up via cell phone app, once connected then simply place other cubes looking at the rage availability on the app. I was able to set-up the entire system in under 10 minutes. No other configurations are required – the system will automatically update (if needed), balances the network, restarts in night to refresh itself. I have had no drops (not even once) for any of my device and I use a lot of wi-fi based devices from the most modestly priced to most expensive. So, there must be at least 10-12 devices connected at the same time and it works beautifully.4) It is beautiful to look at – can become part of any place you like to keep it. All you see is this nice white cube with aesthetic top and a small beautifully places small soft glow green LED light.5) The control app is simply, GUI based and does not intimidate user at all.6) I do not think there is any loss in bandwidth – I get great streaming on my 4K TV.The only item they can work on is the accompanying manual – however, it was easy to find and install the app on Apple Store.

Great so far – Would like a little more control
Reading the reviews, I was a little iffy on purchasing this. It seemed a lot of the reviews mentioned that these worked fine at first but stopped doing so after a short amount of time. I have experienced no such issues. I have had two nodes installed for almost a month and added a third about a week ago. Installation was fast and easy.I had a pretty highly-rated router and extender combo before switching to these. I have a 150Mbps download/25Mbps upload plan and I never got close to that from only ~35 feet away from my router. My house isn’t huge but it has a lot of concrete/brick walls between the router and most of the house. The router itself worked fine in most rooms, getting be about a third to half of my maximums. There were a couple of “dead zone,” where I could only get around 5mbps/1mbps, so I tried an extender. It worked okay but 20/5 speeds weren’t acceptable.With the price finally being reasonable, it felt like it was worth giving mesh wifi a try. I have not been disappointed with the results thus. I can now pull at least 50/10 everywhere in my house and I have not experienced any connection issues. Not to mention the nodes are small and pretty well-designed. They do not stick out no matter the decor and they are well-built.My only problem with this system would be with the amount of control you have over it. The app really does not give many customization options, though it offers what most people would need. You can change the SSID and password, view and block devices, change between PPPoE/DHCP/Static IP/Bridge modes, and change a few other basic settings. Even adding such things as being able to choose whether to connect to 5ghz or 2.4ghz bands and a web portal, which would likely add more customization options, would have been a great addition to these.

Vengo de utilizar repetidores de señal por su bajo costo (que no ayudaban mucho), es la primera vez que utilizo un sistema de malla WiFi, me anime a comprar este paquete de 3, cuyo precio me pareció bastante accesible. Quedé impresionado del alcance de la señal del WiFi y no disminuye la velocidad de Internet, jamás habÃa tenÃdo Internet hasta el fondo de la casa, porque mi módem de telmex está hasta enfrente de la casa, por lo que el internet no llegaba a la cocina, ni siquiera soñaba con que la señal llegara al patio trasero, pero efectivamente, llega el internet hasta la barda trasera y no se pierde velocidad, el internet funciona como si estuviese al lado del modem, en todos lados de la casa, planta baja, planta alta y todo el patio. Como referencia mi casa es de concreto, dos pisos y el total del terreno es de 144metros cuadrados. Si tienes una casa más grande lo único que tienes que hacer es comprar más nodos para distribuir correctamente la señal, es la belleza del sistema de malla WiFi, puedes conectar tantos nodos necesites y solo los conectas a la luz, se configuran solos.

The Tenda mesh instalation was easy for a new user of the technology and much better than using a wifi extender and repeater

Estuve cerca de comprar un router Asus AC1900 y un repetidor para solucionar mis problemas de señal y velocidad en mi hogar, pero me decidà al final por instalar este par de nodos MW3 en mi hogar, y vaya que siento que fue la decisión correcta, la cobertura, la velocidad, lo fácil de instalarlo y sobre todo el precio, lo valen.Antes sólo tenÃa el módem de mi proveedor Axtel con el paquete más básico contratado de 40 Mbps de subida/bajada y pues bueno, solo tenÃa buena señal/velocidad en la misma habitación del módem, de ahà en fuera era pésimo en mis otras habitaciones.Impresiones iniciales:1. La cobertura en todo el hogar mejoró drasticamente, prácticamente en cualquier lugar de mi casa hay excelente señal de wifi.2. La velocidad mejoró por completo, antes en la misma habitación del módem obtenÃa unos 35/36 Mbps y no más de 10 Mbps en mis otras habitaciones, ahora obtengo exactamente 40 Mbps de subida y bajada en TODAS mis habitaciones!La ventaja principal que veo ante el esquema tradicional de un router y repetidores es que:1. Conforme te mueves por el hogar, automáticamente te da servicio el nodo más cercano en la banda que más convenga (si, es dual-band 2.4 y 5 GHz), cuando si tuviera repetidores tendrÃa que hacer el switch manual para cambiarme a la red del repetidor, algo molesto si sólo estás moviéndote por tu hogar.2. Puedes administrar todos tus nodos desde una única interfaz, la app de Tenda, y también añadir o remover más nodos si asà lo requires.En la app puedes entre varias cosas:1. Activar una red de visitas.2. Activar QoS para priorizar el tráfico de juegos, llamadas VoIP y navegación web.3. Control Parental para determinar el horario que pueden acceder a Internet ciertos dispositivos.Considerando el precio que tiene el Google Wifi, el MW3 de Tenda hace un excelente trabajo por una fracción del precio del de Google. Recomendado para uso doméstico.* Actualización a Mayo de 2020 (9 meses después de la compra):Los nodos siguen funcionando perfectamente, no me puedo quejar, no he tenido interrupciones en el servicio, a excepción de cuando falla el proveedor de internet. Se ha ido la luz en varias ocasiones, como muy comúnmente sucede en México y los nodos no han tenido problema en reiniciarse solos y volver a trabajar.Durante este tiempo, solamente han habido dos problemas, que considero pequeños, no graves.1. Durante algún tiempo no pude entrar a mi cuenta en la app de Tenda, mandaba error y no podia entrar de ninguna forma, simplemente espere unos 15 dias y se solucionó después de una actualización a la app. Hasta hoy, funciona bien.2. Hace poco tuve un extraño problema con el nodo secundario, ese nodo de repente dejó de dar servicio y tenia una luz roja que seguia ahà aunque lo reiniciara, lo solucioné simplemente reiniciando el nodo primario. Es la única vez que ha sucedido y se solucionó en 10min.Es un producto que sigo recomendando si lo encuentran en una buena oferta.

This product is easy to install and works like a charm upon configuration. I have my WiFi router at a common place at home, there were constraints in signals to rooms due to walls in-between. I have used other products like WiFi extender which didn’t help in anyway!. These two devices from Tenda is covering the WiFi signal across my home. The switchover from one device to other during the movement is seamless, overall WiFi performance is consistent across all the corners.The only reason I am giving 4 star is because there is a requirement for one among the device to be connected directly to WiFi router’s LAN port as a Gateway. Other one will connect to Gateway over WiFi itself. So, I have turned off my WiFi router’s SSID and using it as router to connect this Tenda gateway device.

Iâm writing this review after using the product for more than three weeks. Before this, my router was placed in one corner of the house. This one covers the entire home. I live in a 1600 sqft area, and I get WiFi signal even on the front yard. The setup is seamless. All I did was connect one node to the LAN port of my existing router. After that, we can control and modify everything using the Tenda app. Since all routers use the same SSID and password, you donât see the WiFi changing when you move from one node to another. The speed is also same even on the farthest node.Overall, I am happy about the product so far.
