The smart plugs are a little temperamental to set up, but once they are, work fine. I haven’t tried setting it up to work on Alexa, so have no idea how that goes. Pleased with them, especially with getting 10 off.
La verdad, no puedo decir mucho porque lo ha instalado un informtico y ademas lo he comprado a mitad de precio en el Black Friday, y por tanto no son condiciones normales, pero el resultado es bueno, hace su funcin, el wifi es estable y no da problemas
Ich habe diese WLAN-Lsung fr unsere Bude gekauft und selbst mein Sohn in der ersten Etage ist nicht mehr am Meckern. Die wirklich simple Gebrauchsanweisung gelesen, alles wie vorgeschlagen installiert und noch mit Fritzbox ergnzt. Jetzt kann ich shoppen gehen und hab’ noch WLAN. Also fast… Aber im Ernst, die Teile machen einen sehr guten Job. Da knnte sich mein Anbieter fr das Internet noch eine Scheibe von abschneiden… Keine Ausflle, Mesh und ToGo — Also man ist immer da online, wo sich das Gert gerade besser mit verbindet. Klare Empfehlung fr zu Hause oder kleine Bros…
Cumple su funcin correctamente. Rpido y sin cuellos de botella pues todos sus Rj45 son gigabit (por lo general los modelos anteriores se conectan tan solo a 100 mb al router principal). La nica pega es que su administracin y la gestin ha de hacerse necesariamente a travs de la app mvil y la gestin permite lo mnimo. Eso s muy intuitivo.
Easy to install, compatible with MW-3 and has a 1GB network interface compared to the MW-3 with only 100MB interface. Good coverage easy to manage with the iphone application.
Arrivato in meno di 24 ore. Installazione semplicissima e ben guidata. Molto efficiente nella copertura delle zone pi lontane, con un po’ di perdita di banda. Il nodo primario si collega via cavetto al modem-router, l’altro si aggancia automaticamente. Ho mantenuto la rete Wi-Fi del modem-router, e ad essa ho affiancato la nuova rete Wi-Fi “tentacolare” che raggiunge le zone non coperte dalla prima, dandole un identificativo diverso, per distinguerle. Col pc collegato alla rete Wi-Fi originaria arrivo a 120 mbps, alla nuova 90 mbps se connesso al nodo primari, 70 se connesso al secondario. Inizialmente avevo scelto la connessione DHCP, ma in questo modo non accedevo pi alla stampante che sta sulla rete originaria, ho cambiato in BRIDGE (incredibilmente facile, si risistemato tutto automaticamente) e cos ho un’unica rete logica che unisce Wi-Fi originaria, Wi-Fi nuova e LAN, con anche un miglioramento di prestazioni.
La app intuitiva e d la visione di tutti gli apparecchi collegati a ciascun nodo.
Fcil instalacin con instrucciones muy claras. Por la form que tienen son decorativas. Mejoro mucho la seal del Interne
I found the instructions easy to understand, Nova has its own WiFi password and all three connected easy. Best to do one at a time. Download the app for your phone and away you go easy to follow.
Ho comprato il primo bundle da 3 pezzi stanco del wifi che non prende in maniera uniforme in tutta la casa. Con questa soluzione riesco a collegare 10 dispositivi senza problemi.
Questo cubetto crea assieme agli altri 2 una rete omogenea mel quale collegare i dispositivi a seconda della distanza dal quale si trovano rispetto ai cubi.
Se avete i muri poco spessi, non serviranno pi di 3 unit, tuttavia in casa mia ho dovuto installarne 5 (3 + 2) perch il segnale era poco omogeneo.
Casa mia sta al primo piano. E sotto (piano terra) prendeva male, con una copertura di circa 36 mega in download e 10 in upload (ho una 100 mega down / 30 up). Dopo aver effettuato l’upgrade, ora anche sotto prende bene con 89 in download e 21 in upload.
#Questi valori sono da prendere a grandi linee, in quanto se la casa presenta dei muri spessi, allora conviene prenderne almeno uno per stanza per avere una copertura omogenea.#
Dopo aver effettuato l’ultimo acquisto, mi sono accorto che esiste una variante ancora pi potente, e ho intenzione di aggiungere 4 nuove unit oltre a quelle esistenti, in attesa che il prezzo si abbassi un pochino.
Per il resto questo prodotto mi ha soddisfatto pienamente, io l’ho impostato come bridge disattivando il wifi del modem normale e va benissimo!
e’ gi il quarto sistema mesh di Tenda che acquisto (case, ufficio e relativo magazzino) e devo dire che copro tranquillamente tutte le zone, senza interruzioni e perdita di velocit. il sistema stabile, mai una disconnessione ed facile da installare, anzi oserei dire “antiscemo”… fa tutto da solo !
configurandolo poi in modalit bridge, fa da mero access point ed il router gestisce i client, altrimenti lo si configura come router e lui si arrangia con ip e quant’altro (attenzione non si possono settare ip fissi dei client se lui fa da router). in modalit bridge non possibile attivare la rete guest ed i vari parental control (ovviamente!)
ha la funzione per creare una rete a 2.4 ghz per i client che non supportano i 5 ghz
consiglio di impostare almeno un riavvio automatico a settimana dal sistema
lo consiglio vivamente e credo poco a chi d recensioni tanto negative… io ho muri veramente spessi e non ho problemi…
con sole due unit copro quasi 350 mq di uffici
con tre unit copro 550 mq di magazzino
con tre unit copro 280 metri di casa su tre piani
a voi le conclusioni
We have a Virginmedia WiFi hub 3 – it’s garbage! Not a big house and lots of black spots. Added these and unbelievable difference, even in the back garden! Great easy to set up product that’s transformed the WiFi – well worth the money.
Funcionan muy bien, pero si ests dispuesto a gastar esta cantidad, mejor ve por la versin ms actualizada que trae mejores beneficios
Die Benutzeroberflche ist gut und bersichtlich gestaltet.
Die Wrfel machen ein schnen Eindruck – das ganze sieht wie ein Smarthomegert aus was mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Zuvor hatte ich einen Asus RT 56u im Einsatz. Mit zwei Nova mw6 ist die Abdeckung hervorragend. Im gesamten Haus und Garten herrscht ein stabiles Netz.
Das die App nur wenig Einstellungsmglichkeiten bietet ist richtig, jedoch sollte dies fr den normalen Hausgebrauch mehr als reichen.
Auch das stndig beide Bereiche (2,4 ghz und 5 ghz) aktiv sind, und das mit gleicher SSID war kein Problem. Alle Gerte wechseln ohne sprbaren Unterbauch in das Netz welches ideal ist.
– Negativ und k.o. Kriterium fr mich:
Ich benutze im Haus drei Alexa Gerte (unterschiedliche Generationen).
Hier kam es bei Musikwiedergabe zu stndigen Abbrchen. Ca. Alle 2 Minuten fr 10 Sekunden.
Das Problem ist scheinbar seit 2018 bekannt und nicht behoben.
Am stabilsten luft es im Bridge Mode, jedoch auch da nicht ohne Probleme.
Somit kann ich das System nicht verwenden.
Schade, denn ansonsten ein schnes System zu gnstigem Preis.
Finalmente ho risolto il problema del segnale Wi-Fi in tutta casa. Il router nella dependance e mi serviva un modo per far arrivare il segnale nel casale e nei giardini. Nonostante si tratti di due fabbricati separati il segnale arriva benissimo anche a porte e finestre chiuse. Col tempo ho acquistato altri cubetti e creato una rete ancora pi estesa che raggiunge ogni angolo sia della dependance che del casale giardino.
Assolutamente consigliati! Semplicissimo configurarli con l’app e per ora dopo 20 giorni assolutamente stabile la connessione senza nessun riavvio!
A livello di velocit, il centrale garantisce 400 in download e 200 in upload, da un router che di solito mi fa 900. Per comunque rimane in grado di garantire velocit eccellenti per la maggiorparte delle persone.
Il secondo posizionato a 2 muri di distanza e in linea d’aria a 10 metri circa, mi garantisce 250 /200.
Assolutamente in grado di coprire un appartamento di 150 metri quadri direi, se sviluppato a quadrato. Ottimo anche per chi ha 2 livelli.
Fantastic had 2 which filled the house with excellent wifi. Now I have 2 more so I can get better wifi in the garden and shed for the summer…
Got to add to my other MW5. I have 2 of MW3 and 3 MW5 and house has full signal in house and garden. No issue with my 200mbps fibre runs at full speed everywhere from all speed tests
Originally bought a set of 3 and they have been working really well, the Wifi is accessible halfway down the garden now whereas previously we struggled to get coverage in the kitchen. I bought the additional set of to extend the wifi into the attic space and as previously it works really well.
La configuracion ha sido facil y rpida, no necesitas saber del tema, menos mal porque yo no entiendo mucho de conexiones, routers, etc. Mi casa es de dos plantas y el router esta en la planta de arriba, apenas llegaba cobertura a la planta baja.
He seguido las instrucciones que venian detalladas: Conectar un mdulo a la red y al router con un cable de red incluido(mi router es el smart wifi de telefnica). Te bajas la aplicacion de tenda nova, que detecta el modulo, y le asignas un nombre y cpntrasea a la red (el mismo nombre que el que tenia en el router de telefnica).
Despues he colocado el 2 nodulo en la planta baja (una distancia entre los dos de 8-10 metros)… Y ya esta.
Estoy contento, ahora tengo cobertura en toda la planta baja, y llega hasta 2 metros fuera de la casa,…estupendo.
Lo recomiendo
Quera tener buena cobertura en casa sin complicarme la vida y sin gastarme un dineral.
Tena mis dudas sobre su rendimiento en una casa alargada como la ma en la que el router est en uno de los extremos, y he de decir que me ha sorprendido para bien. Con dos unidades me ha bastado para cubrir los 180 metros de mi cass. La instalacin es extremadamente sencilla y rpida y la cobertura que me da en toda la casa es excelente. No he medido velocidades de descarga, pero para navegar con varios aparatos a la vez, ver televisin en streaming, escuchar msica y descargar archivos, es decir, lo que hacemos el 90% de los usuarios, me ofrece velocidad de sobra. Estoy muy contento con la compra.
Como puntos negativos, he de comentar que me gustara que la velocidad de transferencia llegase al gigabit, pero ah ya nos meteramos en el modelo ms reciente y lo segundo es que me hubiera gustado poder utilizarlo como servidor NAS, pero creo que no se puede hacer.
Los puntos buenos son la sencillez de instalacin y facilidad de uso de la app, la esttica es bonita y la estabilidad que ofrece. Despus de tres meses de uso no he tenido un solo problema. No he tenido que reiniciar los aparatos ni una sola vez.
This replaced a wifi extender. It is very reliable, provides consistent speed and literally an install and forget device. This device requires an App to manage network. The app is simple and effective for perhaps 99% of the user who do not aspire to be next network guru. Best money spent!
Purchased this to replace my power line/WiFi extender setup in my house, was previously sitting at 30/40 MBit speeds on the extender with it dropping out a lot, but installed the Tenda Nova and now I’m getting 90% of my ISP guaranteed speed in every room. This is with my wifi router wireless turned off and the Tena Nova in bridge mode.
I’d advise on the app to turn on the Fast Roaming option.
I like that it does the job at a fraction of the price of other brands. We did need to call a friend to help us with things like upgrading the firmaware.
Suspiciously inexpensive but easy to set up and did the job. I don’t live in a huge house, but I had some WiFi blind spots before. Not any more, and I now have a reliable signal in the garden.
I already had three MW6s in my mesh network. One of them malfunctioned and the company was brilliant in sending me a replacement. While waiting for the replacement, I bought this MW3 to replace the replacement. It works well with my MW6s and really helps extend the range of my WiFi at home. No issues.
Me salvaron. Ahora aj y internet en toda mi Cas ay gran velocidad. Sufr un poco con la instalacin pues hay que encontrar el punto perfecto donde puedan comunicarse bien pero una vez logrado, funciono increble.
Il prodotto mi piaciuto. Finora non ho avuto alcun problema di connessione in tutta la casa. Per mi riservo di modificare in meglio la presente recensione laddove avr la certezza che la connessione arrivi anche sul balcone. Attualmente fa troppo freddo per fare delle prove. Ma mi riservo di farlo con la bella stagione. Per ora mi sento di raccomandare il prodotto, sia per il prezzo abbastanza contenuto sia per la qualit della connessione.
Il prodotto si installato facilmente e al momento non da problemi. Una volta collegato al roter uno dei due cubi, ho spento il Wi-Fi del roter ed ora tutti i dispositivi si appoggiano ai due cubi. Ho cos archiviato i 4 Power Line che avevo in casa e il Wi-Fi tange extender che avevo.
Questa soluzione funziona meglio ed pi performante rispetto all’uso dei vari power Line e tange e tender.
Veniamo alle note negative:
– non ha la possibilit di agganciare dispositivi tramite WPS
– la configurabilit come rooter abbastanza scarna rispetto ai concorrenti pi blasonati
– rispetto a soluzioni di altri fornitori, la comunicazione tra i nodi avviene sulla stessa frequenza usata dai dispositivi connessi, occupando quindi un po’ di banda
esolveu meu problema de sinal na casa toda.
antes tinha 3 roteadores que repetiam o sinal, agora somente os 2 tenda
Really good now have full signal all across my house. Only disappointment is I have early Google home tech which really doesn’t get along with this MESH system
An absolutely resounding success – It does exactly what it is supposed to do
These are amazing.
After having an extension to our house we got no WiFi in our bedroom, installed these around the house and now have full WiFi in every room. Cannot recommend enough. Worth the money.
We had a “dead spot ” in the kitchen which is only about 15 foot from the router but with two solid walls in between.
We now have perfect WiFi service throughout the house. I had previously tried a better router but it made no difference to the reception; for a lot less money this has solved my problem.
I do agree with other reviewers that the app is very variable; it works well one minute and the next it cannot find the network.
Creo que es el producto ms eficiente que he comprado, no roba nada de seal a diferencia de comprar un router y un repetidor aparte, te llegan todos los megas, la primer foto es sin el sistema mesh y la segunda es con el sistema, recordando que en la primera foto tengo un router y un repetidor y en la segunda es solo el sistema mesh y se ve muchsimo la diferencia.
Easy to set up, and the units are not bulky. Works well on virgin hub. Good price as well.
Ottima soluzione per chi ha la necessit come me di estendere la rete Wi-Fi domestica. Ho acquistato questa soluzione per sostituire i miei 2 power line Wi-Fi. Riuscivo a coprire casa in modo mediocre e con alcuni punti di assenza del segnale .
Ho installato la soluzione Mesh della Tenda senza difficolt in pochi minuti.
Il primo cubetto installato direttamente sul router con cavo e il secondo Posizionato a circa 15 metri lineari con diversi muri separatori , nonostante questo il segnare verde assicurando massima velocit. Confermo che i test di connessione e di download sono ottimi. Ho effettuato i test accedendo in Wi-Fi al cubetto secondario ottenendo risultati dei test di velocit ottimi.
Il software Tenda facile e intuitivo. Permette di configurare le opzioni di un network. Attualmente il mio appartamento di circa 120mq su unico piano sono coperti dalla rete Wi-Fi di due cubetti Tenda ( infatti ho disattivato il Wi-Fi del router perch non era utile nella mia configurazione) ciao
L’installazione rapida e semplice, sebbene si possa fare solo da app da scaricare dallo Store.
Ora a casa non ho pi zone senza copertura Wi-Fi e inoltre non devo pi preoccuparmi di cambiare manualmente rete quando mi allontano da uno dei due nodi in quanto il passaggio avviene in automatico.
In realt non sto usando il sistema al massimo della sua capacit perch il nodo secondario funge pi da ripetitore wireless quando darebbe il meglio se collegato anch’esso con un cavo LAN al nodo primario. Nonostante ci, le prestazioni sono adeguate e ho una perdita minima di velocit quando mi collego al nodo secondario.
Il band steering automatico e non disattivabile perci assicuratevi di posizionare i nodi in una buona posizione cos da agganciare il segnale a 5GHz e non a 2.4GHz. Consigliato.
Having accumulated several Ring cameras primarily to monitor the dogs I care for, I found my Router just wasn’t coping with the load. Read a few reviews – specifically those who noted the (fixes) they did themselves and decided I was up for the challenge!
Setup was as simple as the blurb says! Plug them in, download the app, follow the easy to understand instructions and your done. Thankfully the only adjustment I had to make was to the IP address which I’m assuming is what fixed the RSSI stability issues I was having. I did have to try a few different locations for the second node which is now on my back deck (under cover) to reach the camera on the back of the shed. Approx 21 feet and 2 walls away.
All in all, it was a straight forward and stress free experience. The reason for (only) 4 stars is simply my belief that, especially with this scenario, I have nothing to compare it with apart from other reviews.
Para mim, dois dispositivos apenas atenderam, dependendo do tamanho da casa ou distribuio de espaos, pode ser que outras pessoas precisem com 3 dispositivos.
Now that they’re active I’m getting the best wifi in my study where before, I could barely load a page I can now hold regular Zoom meetings all the time.
Me solucion un gran problema que tena con la red wifi pues ni los rompemuros me sirvieron, ste fue la solucin, es caro pero lo vale
Well what can you say , it seems to work fine with no problems. Seemed easy to install. I am not sure what other systems do that are better but I think this was the lowest priced option and does just what I need. So no complaints
Creo que es la mejor manera de tener internet ms rpido en casa.
Hay veces que cuando cambias de cuarto si tarda un poco de cambiar de seal, pero an as se conecta y sigues disfrutando de la velocidad.
Fantastic !!! . has worked perfectly since i received it. It has double my wifi speeds and fixed the issues i was having with my router and drop out of connections and the speed of my wifi . Would definitely recommend this product to people.
This works exactly as described, has boosted our signal so much more effectively than any booster we tried. We now have strong signal on our attic conversion and our garden as well as much better reliability throughout the house. Highly recommend especially as much cheaper than other systems and really does the job.
Had these for over a year now complete game changer I couldn’t really use my WiFi in the bedroom due to drop outs and now I have my gaming pc wired into a hub in my bedroom with almost no speed loss from next to the router and WiFi around the house is superb
The product was great.No one rang bell or knocked on door .just left on drive in full view.luckily i went outside at 9pm and found it.Get good signal all round house now.Even get it 10 feet outside house.
This product was recommended to me as the wifi extender that I had previously bought didn’t work. They were easy to set up, the tip I was given was to name the mesh the same as your current wifi so that if your wifi drops, you don’t need to re-attach the mesh. All working so far.
Very easy to install and operate. My problem was a 5 bed bungalow with the WiFi at one end. My reception area was front garden, side garden and the drive. In the property it covered the lounge and dining room. Using the mesh we now have internet in the whole property but it does lose signal in the rear garden. A two storey property would not have my problem and I am sure a third cube would extend signal even further. I am glad I purchased this system
These work brilliantly amd not only do i have great signal on all 3 floors, i also get a good signal in the garden.
They are really easy to install, it literally took 5 mins.
I would definitely recommend these.
Very easy to set up and all connected without issue. Improved the WiFi speeds around the house from the basic Plusnet router beforehand.
The only issue is that all the AC power cables are fairly short, meaning that trying to find places to put them can be a slight issue at times
Very easy to set up, and add new devices to it.
We had mulitple gaps in our house but with this solution we are covered and the best part is we are up from 60mbs to 180 to 370 mbs with a very low ping of 9 ms
Definitely a good purchase: there could be better solutions out there but for the price I think it is amazing
Main reason for purchase was to get coverage to outbuilding 16mtrs from box. Although according to my level meter signal is at – 55dB, response time from 3 mtrs away shows minimal reduction. All level checking carried out with my android apps, WiFi Analyser and Avast Speed check. So may not be that accurate. Able to watch Netflix all ok. Used BT 600 previously and was barely able to get a signal.
Finally I have full WiFi coverage all over my house with no dead spots. I’ve tried extenders before but they never worked. This is the real deal. App works great too, I’ve put all my kids devices in a group and I can disable their Internet with one click. Love that feature…
Ordered on Monday and received the next day. Easy to setup and provides full coverage to a previous wifi dead spot in the house. Couldn’t be happier and at a great price.
Fast delivery. Received order on a 3rd business day. Easy to setup and works perfectly. The network has significant improvement with coverage and speed. Happy so far!
I added these 2 to 4 I’d bought previously but these were older stock, different packaging, blue light rather than green to signify good signal and the plugs on the new(old) ones were the stupid type that stop you putting another plug in an adapter socket. They did not connect to my existing setup. I connected them as a separate system and updated the firmware which was still a different version than existing setup. However, they did then connect to the others. That oddity apart, setup was simple and quick.
I haven’t solved a problem with two Samsung TVs that won’t connect. Probably because they’re 2.4Ghz. There is a ‘Smart Assistant’ to help connect to 2.4Ghz devices by ‘discovering’ them but I haven’t figured out how that helps yet. If anybody knows, please let me know. Apart from that, the app is good and very informative.
Tenda could do with adding an extra foot or two to the cable so that there is enough slack to have the units plugged in and on a shelf or window ledge.
The coverage is brilliant though – almost full speed everywhere.
Does the work. Except the range is not really as specified in the marketing materials. But it facilitates a lot to improve the connectivity.
This was so simple to setup with my phone and install some the house.
After the easy installation of this mesh system it made me feel like I was living in the past with my previous modern and router.
This is a lovely cheap entry into the world of decent wifi coverage. Yay.
Easy to set up. Value for money. Does away with the pathetic virgin wi fi signal from the superhub.
With previous routers I struggled to get a good signal on the second floor and behind a wall on the ground floor. For some time I was looking for a way to run a cable to the second floor, but I couldn’t find a way to hide the cable.
I installed one of these routers on each floor, and I now have good signal everywhere in my house with no additional cabling. Definitely worth the money.
The WiFi within our home is now much improved, there is much less buffering on streaming devices, and drop outs have all but disappeared, You can have a guest network, with separate password, for when you have friends over wanting to use your WiFi.
I think it was money well spent, although the Tenda app can be erratic at best.
So I was a bit dumb and should have googled it before I brought it but that’s my own fault it only goes up to 100mbps but it’s fine as my internet subscription is 150mbps so not much of a miss I think the Tenda box maxes out at 91/92 but I get full signal in all rooms and really can’t complai
As per the other glowing reviews, I cannot recommend highly enough. I now (for the very first time) have the strongest of wifi in all four corners of my home and now even in garden. Having spent/wasted countless hours and pounds on resolving very inconsistent and poor wifi, the Tenda Nova boxes now give me something I honestly thought wasn’t possible. Very easy to set up (connect to router via provided cable) and then add all other nodes via the very easy to use app…if you’re trying to figure out how to resolve poor wifi, take the plunge, you won’t be disappointed
They were really easy to setup and use. Great signal coverage. BUT – a few weeks into running them, I found that all my satalite boxes kept disconnecting. It took me a while to realise the only option was to reset the lot and reconfigure them. If that hadn’t happend this would be a 5* review.
Works great with everything (Alexa, Nest, 2 Xboxes, 4 laptops, 10 android devices etc) only issue is with a brand new Samsung TV Wifi – very annoying how the TV looses the WiFi signal and have to manually connect to the Tenda router again. So have to hard wire the TV to the router.
Fantastic product. As an IT consultant i wanted something reasonably cheap and functional without paying corporate money. Was super surprised at the quality of the app and products. The plastic units are quite thin plastic but they appear to be good quality and do not stick out at all, quite stylish in any home. I have the 3 unit kit and live in a 3 storey town house… internet comes in on the middle floor. The signal is 100% everywhere and the WDS works flawlessly albeit it slightly slow, but what can you expect for 70!
Would defo recommend to anyone.
Well, well, well. Wasn’t expecting much for the low price in comparison to other mesh networks systems.
Took less than 10 minutes to setup, now have 25mbps (36mbps max from provider), everywhere in the house, and the annex – get it it’ll make your wifi life so much easier. No more extenders, powerlines, etc., just these tiny boxes strategically placed – love them!
Great product. We have a large 4 bed house and the 3 units are providing excellent WiFi throughout.
I did need to enrol the services of an IT boffin to remove my conflicting BT internet and re-establish broadband to my TV.
White boxes will be fine for some but they look hideous in our home … a black alternative would have been wonderful!
It was easy to install using the mobile app.
Used in cottage with some very thick internal stone walls, trial and error positioning achieved good coverage
For context, landline broadband is very slow here <1Mb/sec.
Using external 4G router to connect with Three 4G unlimited data for just 22/month, achieves 40Mb/sec on direct connection to router; connection with Nova within the cottage varies between 20Mb/sec and 10Mb/sec.
Only downside is that there is no web portal on the Nova to change any settings (if you're that way inclined!)
Having struggled with Wi-fi signal in various locations of the house & to signal dropping out from time to time the Tenda Nova MW3 has certainly put a stop to all this. What a brilliant bit of kit and really good value for money( especially when purchased from Amazon). It was easy to set up and had all three boxes working with good signal strength within 20 min. Has certainly boosted the signal strength and my son can now play his x- box without moaning he has no signal. Would highly recommend.
I live in an old house where it’s very difficult to get WiFi signal through the thick walls. This setup has completely transformed that, I now have fast, reliable WiFi throughout the entire house.
Only niggle is that the app shows as if one of the nova’s is disconnected all the time – it isn’t because the internet works perfectly through it. Other than that, a great investment and far cheaper than other offerings such as Google Mesh.
Everything else is brilliant, great signal even out in the garden, we’ll worth the money compared to other brands.
We live in a relatively small home but the construction of some of the walls makes it difficult for a strong signal to be achieved in all parts. We’ve tried signal extenders – Powerline hotspots but all have their drawbacks. So it was time to try a Mesh solution.
These seemed good value and frankly the set up was pretty easy. And they work! I’ve tested by streaming HD whilst walking around to where the blackspots were or where a network change would cause a glitch … all perfect now.
The units don’t get very warm so probably aren’t using much power … very happy.
Had a bit of trouble setting up – after renaming network (as per the prompt), the app couldn’t connect, and the secondary nodes couldn’t connect to the primary. The app said it expects the network name to start NOVA_, but I’d renamed it to something else – was that the problem?
Anyway I started again (using a different box as the primary node) and ‘renamed’ it to the existing name ie. NOVA_?, and this time it seemed happy.
Now I’ve got a good signal downstairs (router/primary node is upstairs) in rooms where previously my phone switched to mobile data, and I’m only using one secondary node. Result.
We had a very weak wifi signal in our kitchen even though it is only one room away from the router so I decided to try a mesh system. I did not want to spend the money that some brands charge for this when I did not know how well it would work, if at all. It took little time to set up and we now have a good signal throughout the house. Once it is set up you just leave it alone – no need to mess with it. Our 3 units are enough to cover a 3-bedroom house built when walls were more substantial than today. Recommended.
The mesh system worked as intended, even going through (or round?) a solid brick wall into an extension with no problems. The installation was as advertised, plug into your existing router and then position the units where needed. The units connected when positioned about 15m apart without problems, despite intervening walls. Great WiFi speed throughout!
ow I can use Wi-Fi all over the house, easy to set up & inconspicuous units
Installation was a doddle. Plug in one box to the router and pop the other 2 around the house and follow instructions on app.
I now have a 5 bed house where all my Smart devices (20 or so light bulbs) all connect, and stay connected. Previously these would drop off annoyingly and disconnect the router.
Tip: Change the SSID of your tenda to the old SSID of your router and your devices will all connect without changing passwords. Change the router SSID with a X or so something so you know which to go to to change router settings.
Very easy to setup and look good but the UK power adapters that came in the box were very poor fitting and the slightest movement of power cable caused unit to power off. Rather than return units my solution was to remove about 3mm of plastic from connector. See pic.
Very easy to setup. Unless you’re a total f_ckwit I can’t imagine not being able to do. Install the app, plug in and they’re off. Live in a 3 storey old house and we now have consistent speed across the floors, even though router and therefore first box is in a cupboard. Struggling to see why I should get a more expensive. QoS setting very basic so I don’t use them. Maybe expensive ones are more comprehensive in that area?
I very rarely leave reviews on Amazon but I just HAD to after installing the Tenda MW3 system. I’m in the process of setting up a home office but needed a networking solution that improved the nearly non-existent signal strength within my chosen room. I was undecided between mesh and Powerline but I’m so glad I went with mesh.
The cubes are easy to install (very much plug and play) and increase the signal strength massively. I have Virgin Media 50mpbs and consistently get the full speed using the Tenda system.
I have one teeny tiny gripe: the cubes didn’t show on the app at first – I had to restart the primary node and app but once I did this, they reappeared and haven’t gone anywhere since.
Brilliant system, dead easy to set up, works very well.
Living in a cottage with very thick stone walls I was concerned it might struggle. But the signal strength is excellent in every room, and the garden. I use mine with a 4G TPLink router, and get 40+Mbps.
The app is brilliant, lots of features you’d usually only find on more expensive kit and really simple to use.
Mesh is a much better solution than WiFi repeaters or powerline plugs. And at 80 for three nodes, a real bargain.
The item arrived on time,worked first time out of the box. The app is very easy to use and allows the user to alter the SSID and password so I changed this to my existing turned off the WiFi on the router and all my connected devices worked. The single strength is good all around the house with no noticable change when swapping from one cube to another. I have tried WiFi extenders, some which cost more, but this system beats then all. I would highly recommend these WiFi mesh units.
very simple to set up and maintains a strong connection. we have 3 nodes spread across two buildings and 3 floors with a 3ft brick wall between the buildings. the main router is on the ground floor in one building and on the third floor in the other building (so through the 3ft wall and up 3 floors) we only lose 5mb/s of the 70mb/s we have with bt business.. and that’s over wifi. would definitely recommend if you have BT. only draw back is the limit of 100mb for the input but this can be fixed by simply swapping the main node out for a mw6 node (which has gigabit input) and the mw3 nodes can take it from there.
The pack contained 3 ‘boxes’ and setup was very easy. You plug in and use the same details available on all of the boxes to set up. I have a router in a bedroom and there has always been difficulty using Firestick despite using other wifi enhancing (and more expensive) gadgets. With the 3rd box sitting on the landing area, I now have better access to the Firestick. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Received this warehousedeal with a cut wire of the powerline… Are warehouse not checked before being sold on again?
Amazon however keeps amazing me how they treat complaints and I am very satisfied with their resolution, even if it took some time.
Thumbs up Amazon.
This Nova (3 pack) system fills my moderately large house with high speed wifi throughout. I have fibre to the premises and since the Nova supports PPPoE (which it auto detected) I just plugged it in where the old router was plugged in (ethernet) and, after adding my credentials, it just worked. Amazingly simple setup and I get my full 80 Mbps download speed everywhere in the house. The App is also pretty cool, a refreshing change from those admin web pages that you see on most routers (and are usually full of security holes).
The old wireless router now sits in the box with all my abandoned network gear of the past – extenders, powerline adapters, switches, cables and whatnot. Wireless mesh networking is THE solution I have been looking for.
Had been very tired of the poor Sky router signal in most of the areas of the house. Additionally, the speed of the internet was quite fluctuating and dropping a lot.
Did a bit of research and since I didn’t want to spend a lot, bought the triple unit after reading positive reviews.
I must say, it has been a game changer. With one in front room, one in conservatory and one in loft, I am now able to get strong signals through out the house with good speed. Not only that, the hand over from one unit to another is so smooth that you can walk throughout the house video chatting without experiencing a single blip/lag.
Highly recommended if you have dead zones or poor sky router.
Being using it for about 10 days. I now have full coverage across my house I use WiFi calling on my phone which works well the down side is the net work port is only 100mg so I can’t get the full down load speed from my broadband but it stream 4K Netflix perfectly fine
However at it’s price the Nova MW3 is a fantastic piece of kit!
29/11/18 update
Tenda have obviously addressed the issues with the accompanying phone app, since I purchased my Nova MW3’s as it now works flawlessly!
I would have no qualms recommending these to anyone looking to improve their home WiFi as it’s improved mine dramatically!
Has taken the place of an Apple Time Machine and two Apple Airport Express’s. The signal was forever cutting out on iPads and sometimes the Apple TV just wouldn’t work.
The Tenda Nova was pretty easy to set up and I have An “excellent” signal from each of the three cubes. I have tested the signal in every room of the house and in every part of the garden and it is brilliant.
It has solved all my problems for a rediculous price.
I’ve spent probably a fair few hundred pounds over the years on powerline connectors and beefed up wifi routers but still struggled with deadspots in my 3 story Victorian terraced house. Fed up with the situation I read a review of the Tenda Nova MW3 and took the plunge.
Although I’m pretty IT literate (computing degree, in the industry for 20+ years!), I’m always worried about getting new things and setting them up. I’m happy to say that these were a real piece of cake – followed the very basic instructions (download the app, attach phone to wifi, switch on 1st Nova box and connect) and it worked flawlessly. Then the second and third boxes attached without issue and as if by magic, I have a single strong and (so far) reliable network in my house and out into the garden shed for my digital radio. Lovely. Would definitely recommend.
These units were very easy to set up and it did not take me long to get good coverage across the whole place. The nice thing is that I have no problem roaming, which is such a relief after the frustration of “doing it myself” with extenders.
The units themselves are compact and so do not stick out amongst the furniture. I could have done with a longer lead since the ideal wifi location and the location of power sockets did not line up in one case.
All in all very satisfied.
Set up is a doodle thanks to the mobile app. Which also enables network restriction by grouping connected devices. There doesn’t appear to be time controls but just manually restricting. The connection has been solid and every part of the house now has a great signal. Replaced a Sky Q hub which left a couple of rooms with signal drops. Now this mesh system covers all rooms and has good strength outside too. The price was great compared to other sets and so far the performance has been faultless. Fully recommended
