TENDA Nova MW3 Whole Home WiFi System - Triple Pack

PRO: 1. Easy to setup, i configured it under 5 Mins 2. Excellent Wifi Coverage for 2-3 BHK Homes. 3. Economic Wifi Mesh option 4. Wall Mountable CONS: 1. No Support for WPA3 2. MAC Based WIFI Restriction not possible 3. No IP Reservation Possible. 4. Cannot diable WIFI Broadcast (SSID cannot be hidden) 5. No Gigabit Ethernet (100Mbps only). If your Internet is over 100M, its not for you.

The best part about this product is I got it when there was a massive discount. So it was a real value purchase for me. The Mesh system as such is a breeze to set up. It gives the same speed connection in the study room where by son is doing his online classes, where initially he used to have bad connection so very often. On the Whole, the product does its job perfectly and value for money as well.

it did what I needed it to do. It extended my WIFI range without loss of signal. Goes well with the decor. Good Product.

We live in a 3 bed Villa with no network points on the top floors. Wifi extenders worked, but not well, the coverage was poor and we had to change WiFi as we moved from floor to floor. They were also not 5G compatible. The TENDA Nova gives 5G coverage across the whole house, one wifi connection and it's super fast. Yes directly from the router is faster, but it could not reach the third floor - with the NOVA mesh, I'm connecting at over 100g/s throughout the house. I could improve the connectivity more, by adding another Nova mesh...maybe I will in a few months, but for now I'm VERY happy with the result.

So easy to set up and manage. Supported by an easy to use app. The system works very well throughout the house. As long as each node is roughly 10 metres from it's connecting node the system works flawlessly. I bought two sets and this covers a 5 bedroom villa with ease including outside area.

Not getting the full speed even from the main router, I have 300mbs but I am getting 50 to 80 mbs on wifi even from the wired node ! The coverage is good but losing most of the bandwidth is so annoying, I might return the item. However they look sleek and coverage is good too, the time of delivery was perfect.

Great product...solves the issue of dead wifi zones perfectly...easy to set up and discreet design...and the app is comprehensive

Plug and play. No need for configuration. Now my hiuse has no blind area. Highly recommanded.

Has very good antennas despite being small. A secondary node gets full signal back to base station in rooms where I previously got no WiFi signal from base router. The app is very easy to use and better than web interface. I found the my pings dropped compared to using cheap WiFi routers that ISPs provide. No issue with using it with 20 devices over both 2.4 and 5ghz. The app is basic and confusing for more advanced things. Like your cannot reserve an IP on the DHCP for a specific client.... Unless you forward an external port to the client, then it's IP will be bound. It doesn't support ipv6 at all. The Ethernet is 100mpbs. However it absolutely doors what it says it does. Seemlessly walk between rooms and it handoffs to other nodes without you having to do anything.

I had put up with the Vodafone Connect router for over an year now. Until recently I tolerated the extremely weak signal just at the room upstairs to where the router is located. Without a strong repeater I'd forget about getting any signal in my rear garden. But repeaters have very limited bandwidth and take up Wi-Fi channels for repeating the signals. I was only recently told about the concept of Mesh network and its benefits. I found the Nova MW3 to have great reviews and reasonably priced for a 3-pack (at £79) which most folks can afford and start using in less than 10 minutes. Installation was super easy, just follow the instructions in the Tenda Wi-Fi app. I followed the below steps and would recommend doing so unless you are well into networking and want additional routing control via the mesh network. 1. Switch off Wi-Fi on the main router. With mesh taking over the SSID which all your devices use, your main router has no role to play with Wi-Fi anymore. One exception though: if you have multiple SSIDs defined on your router say one for each band i.e. 2.4GHz and 5GHz, then you will need to keep one of the SSIDs active on the router as this Mesh can only have one SSID defined at the time of writing this review. Whichever SSID name is being ported to the Mesh should be turned off on the main router. Alternatively if the connected devices can be amended to use only one of the two (or more) SSIDs, then I would highly recommend that. Turning off Wi-Fi at the router will reduce band clashes and performance degradation. 2. Connect any one of the three NW3 nodes to the router via the supplied LAN cable. Once connected, use the Tenda app to name the WiFi SSID exactly what you had on the router with the same password. That way you won't need to change any devices' SSID and password and they continue as if nothing changed. 3. Using the app, go to settings and find the option for Internet Settings. Use the 'Bridge' option under it instead of the default 'DHCP'. The idea is to let the main router still be in control of all DHCP (including Static IP allocation), DNS etc and only let the Mesh deal with the Wi-Fi communication part. If you activate DHCP on the Mesh network, then you will get an IP range different to your router's. Nothing wrong with it except some devices can be very particular about the IP assigned and expect network shares etc to be available on the same network. Usually this mesh starts IP allocation at 192.168.5.* ... 5.254. You CANNOT change this to be the same range as the router's range, if DHCP is turned on at the router. Its one or the other device to control DHCP. Or do what I did, and use Bridge option to let the router decide and Mesh follow what the router allocates. 4. Start placing the other MW3 Mesh nodes in other rooms. Make sure the you check each nodes' signal strength before beginning to hammer nails on walls. I have simply left them under my beds in different rooms. They all have excellent signal strength so no more Wi-Fi blackouts, dropouts or unusable signal strength. 5. Turn on the 'Fast Roaming' option on the app. This important step will enable handing over of your mobile devices' connectivity from one node to another quicker, so you don't drop any signal strength. If you use older operating systems like Android 4 or iOS 4 etc then best keep this option off as it won't work with them. That's it! I didn't need to read the manual in any great detail, but its included anyway if you wish to. For the price, the non-intrusive size, and most importantly the 100% signal strength in every corner of my house I can only give this product a 5*. I won't hesitate in recommending this to anyone looking to significantly improve Wi-Fi coverage their homes. Throw away those repeaters and large antennas and let the home router do just the wired networking and routing. Get this or any other Mesh network with at least 3 nodes and sort the Wi-Fi problem out forever!

Il mio appartamento é su due livelli e in taverna non avevo segnale wifi dal modem. Ho messo il modulo principale in cascata al modem con cavo e un satellite in taverna vicino alla scala. Il satellite si ė agganciato al principale e ora ho un'unica rete wifi perfettamente funzionante sia sopra che sotto. La configurazione é elementare con app apposita. Il nome della rete ė completamente personalizzabile e quindi si può dare lo stesso nome e psw della vecchia rete evitando così di riconfigurare tutti i dispositivi. Sto usando da un mese circa e non ho mai avuto problemi. Ottimo prodotto mi ha risolto il problema senza dover usare una connessione cablata

La calidad es muy buena, tenía un módem Vodafone y la calidad del wifi era muy pobre y ahora tengo una cobertura del 100% en toda la casa y con gran velocidad. ¡Esta malla es 2.4G y 5G! El único inconveniente es que los enchufes son modelo inglés. Tuve que abrir las cajas de plástico y soldar un enchufe europeo, no doy 5 estrellas por esa razón.

Got this today and installation was smooth. Just use any of the nodes and connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port. The other node you can keep plugged in at any point at your place. As of now, I can't see any drop in speed. With the just router, I used to get around < 10mbps of speed, when it was placed a distance. Now with the mesh, with the same distance, I'm getting around 45 - 50 mbps of the speed, which is my maximum ISP speed. This has solved the distance issue I had. I'm able to connect 5 devices and there doesn't seem to be a problem with speed at all. Really awesome product. Will recommend it.
