Very thorough, thank you so much for this video, much appreciated.

Just what I was looking for, nice review

Very nice, I got 30 Mbps and I use the same TP Link repeater for a while so I'm buying this setup, I now it's a new one but for the price I can get any better

Excellent explanation, thank you. Worked first time.

Very informative set-up. Bibili na ako nito. Salamat!

I just bought this and will ask questions later if i encounter problems but pretty much you ecplained it clearly.

Hi! excellent review! I have a question, is there an easy way of connecting a PC with an ethernet wire to the LAN port of a secondary node device? thanks!

What was the result of your purchase....????if you went that route....

Nice review! I have a similar question to Caayotee's (2 months ago): My cable modem-router is on one end of the house. Hard wired to it, about 20 feet is my Airport Extreme. About 12 feet upstairs is my Aiport Express connected wirelessly. Could I connect the Main Node to my hardwired Airport Extreme & then use the Tenda App to find good locations for the other 2 Tenda Nodes? And also continue to une the Airport Express elsewhere? As follows: Existing Airport Extreme -> Main Tenda Node -> 2nd Tenda Node -> #rd Tenda Node -> Airport Express (wireless). Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the Tutorial 🙏🏾

thanks for the review. very useful. i am now more inclined to buy this product.

If you had a modem-router combo but you switched off the wifi and you're using only tenda mesh itself, the auto detection for the internet setting is usually dhcp. Should it be dhcp or bridge mode?

Please note that the Tenda MW3's encryption is not actually WPA2-PSK, but WPA/WPA2-TKIP, which was deprecated years ago as obsolete. You should expect your network to be hacked. Also, the MW3's call out to Internet sites in China several times a minute, but apparently work normally if you block their access with your firewall, so it doesn't seem to be a needed function. Tenda has been promising a firmware update to change this behavior for over a year.

Would you suggest this for a thin yet 5 storey house? It has been our problem eversince tso we need to find a way to cover wifi for our tall house

Is there any way to make the connection to the first cube by Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet wire? I’m looking to expand my connection for Starlink service.

Very well explained and done. Thank you. Which mesh wifi would you recommend currently. Also this tenda mesh any issue in long term use. Thank you

Hello, just asking if I can switch different network on the mesh? We do have 2 ISP and PLDT is currently connected to it but we wanna switch it to our 2nd ISP. is there any tutorial for it?

I really wanted to get this. But opted for the pricier Asus zenwifi CT8 due to the fact that each device has 3 Lan and 1 wan connection, as well as each device having the ability to act as a stand alone router. More importantly, powerful software support.

now put your router in your room and connect that to the node. Great video its what most of us would be doing. you should get another node or two and put in adjacent rooms

hi, since the wifi can support up to 300mbps, my internet plan is 300mbps. If my first node is physically connected to the internet, will my speed limited by 100mbps due to the ethernet port? I know for outgoing will be limited by 100mbps, but not sure about incmoing.

I just have one question about this setup. Can it be used as a main router? And connect 2nd node via lan? Thank you.

Hi, How is the long term performance when multiple devices are connected? Did your signal ever drops or disconnects? I bought the cheapest mesh, the halo s3. Speed test is fine but after a while signal is dead. S3 choks when multiple devices are connected. I constantly have to restart the system to get internet back.

Good review ... made me buy one too :) I had an easy time setting up the product due to this clear explanation video. Keep up the great work!

There are two ethernet ports on node1. What's the other port for? can I connect a wired NAS to it?

do you have a Modem befor the first router if so you can do away with the first router! maybe you can connect an ethernet between two nodes lan to wan

thanks for your video. I have Tenda Mw3, and can connect from lenovo thinkpad, iphone, with normal speed download as from ISP. But somehow when I connect from macbook, my download speed is only 25% from normal speed. When I connect my macbook directly to my previous wifi router (not tenda mw3), it is normal as from ISP. Have you experienced with this condition? Please share.. Thank you

would these kind of work with extensions leads thanks

Just ran accross your video. Have to admit, very theorough and well done. I'm assuming you are still using the Tenda mesh one ? How is the performance / disconnects now that some time has passed ? Good job btw again :-)

sadly I got this one but i have a netgear night hawk router that has lan in but not out i guess only way to use this is to buy a router with wan lan out but uses a sim card no land line?

Great video

Hi, can I set the wifi name to be the same with my current wifi at home? Will they become roaming to each other?

So running a test on original WiFi speed (i pay for 50mbps) I’m getting about 58 on reg router with weak signal through the house. I purchased the mw3 and set them up. WiFi coverage over whole house is amazing but best speed test is 25mbps. Any idea what’s going on?

Hi, does anyone know how to change the WiFi encryption protocol to WPA2-PSK on the MW3? my iPhone keeps telling me the network has weak security :(

It might have been a good idea to turn off the upstairs repeater before you tried to install the Nova in the upstairs bedroom. This is because the repeater could interfere with, and block the signal from, the Nova. I wonder if you've tried that to see if it helps?

Does it use the same SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands?

Sir i have a question. I hve the same from pldt. It says on the box that it is a dual band 2.4 and 5G. But i can't find how to use the 5G band. With the wizard setup it only use 2.4G band. Can you help pls

I have tenda ac10 and tenda nova mw3, can I do these four mesh networks?

Hi, when I connect my Tender mesh to my modem, connection is excellent , but indicate no internet, what happen? Other router doesn't has such issue .

im going to buy this home mesh wifi system. Hope its going good for everyone who has it. I wish I could get some feedback from you guys. Is the range good ? does the ping and connection is stable

Can you check lan speed test, like from an Ethernet connected laptop/PC with ssd to a node and transfer speed to a wifi device like tablet/laptop on the same node and speed when near node #2, this way we can understand maximum speed that’s doable by the mesh router

I hope someone here can help me with this. I have four MW3 mesh3F nodes and one mesh3 node, which I believe is a MW6? My question is which node is best to use as the main one connected to the router. One of the mesh3F or the mesh3? Or doesn't it make a difference.

Beautiful review. Mesh Wireless Systems are indeed the future. I'm amazed, going to order the same as the one you got. Do you recommend me after you have tested them for a while now.

Thanks man😁

Did you try putting the 3rd node inside your room and get your speed test?

Anyone experience a random disconnection of the mesh wifi from your main isp router? I'm having this problem almost once everyday. Mesh wifi needed to reboot in order for it to connect to the isp router again. Thanks.

Good review. I've done an unboxing as part 1. Question I have is how do you get manufacturers to send you items to review ?

Nice review

Very satisfied with 1+1 Novas to cover all my 2-level home. How do I change the WIFI network NAME .from "planta baja" (which a technician 'selected') to NOVA Home.?

What is the max speed you can get with this? Just ordered mine and max speed is 90mbps. My internet is up to 150mpbs.

My friend. How do i set a static ip to my devices through the Nova MW3. Or how do i access the Lan settings.

You can set a static ip by yourself through your wifi phone settings, but you have to act differently if you want a static ip for your devices at home in order to use them while you're not at home

You should place your remote node closer to the Primary Node. The one in your sister's room should be placed outside of the room closer to the Primary Node. The same for the upstairs node. You should place it near the staircase, downstairs, closer to the primary node. Give it a try.

How many router do you have in connection the mesh

Does not work. I downloaded the app, plugged the white box into the power and then to the router via the ethernet cable, but on wifi settings on phone (shown here at 6:12) nothing new comes up for me to select.

Husay!👍🏻

Does that tenda mesh have a 5ghz wifi support?

Hi, how does the Mesh System handle gaming? does it keep consistent ping

@Ameerkat

3 жыл бұрын

If you’re playing PC or console games that need a good amount of speed I would suggest a router, it might still work tho. But this mesh system works fine with mobile gaming

I notice at offset 13:50 that the final/upstairs mesh device turned Amber for a while. Does this suggest some borderline reception or dropout ? How stable are these units? I read that if mesh boxes were in a line main-mesh2-mesh3 that could tolerate loss of mesh2 (i.e. Main-mesh3) albeit with slightly worse perf. Also if main, mesh2, mesh3 were say triangular (equidistant) and client dev was on 2.4GHz near mesh3 that traffic would be split across main-mesh3 and main-mesh2-mesh3 probably using 5GHz (and viceversa). Thus load-sharing across avail links as well as fault tolerant. Is that true ?

What is best Internet setting DHCP or Bridge

the first node has to connect with the router via ethernet, there is no way it would connect wirelessly to the main modem/router? thanks

Can you have more than 3 nodes?

Great review, mate. I have a question. Let's say, I don't want to dispose off my trusty old router. I just want to increase its range. So would it be possible to connect one of the tenda mesh routers to my old router, and then connect the rest of the tenda mesh routers to the primary tenda router? So it'll be like this : My old router -> 1 Tenda (Primary mesh) -> 2 Tenda (secondary mesh) -> 3 Tenda (tertiary mesh) Is this possible? :)

may bandwidth controll din po ba ito per connected device?

i have a 200 Mbps fiber connection. Will this go over 100 Mbps or not?

how much bandwidth can it support?

does the primary node need to be by the router or can I place it in another room with a super long ethernet?

You can place where ever you like as long as the primary node is wired to your router. All other nodes then daisy chain to your primary node via wifi.

LAN connection maximum speed (input) is only 100 mbps. Then what is the point in having higher MBPS wifi output. Its not a booster. So output wifi is always going to be same as input through LAN that is maximum 100 mbps.

How can I change the wi-fi Channel on this device?

Boss pacensya na question lang bakit po sa video nyo di nyo kinabit yung tatlong mesh 1 isa lang ginamit mo which is node 1 diba dapat pinakita mo na nakakabit yung tatlo? para makita talaga yung difference?

If you disable DHCP on your main router, then yes. Once setup, all your devices will recognise the new (old) SSD. If you're having both router AND nodes dish out wifi, best to keep seperate.
