    I purchased these in hopes of simplifying my network. I have a small shed that was converted into a living unit in the backyard of the home on the property. The initial setup involved the cable modem in my unit and then a router connected with a long buried Ethernet cable to the house. There were some issues with the router slowing downs speeds dramatically and didn’t have the signal reach to reach the front of the house where we have exterior Wyze cameras installed. Now I can just run my first node from the Ethernet into the house in the closest room to me, then centrally in the house, then one in the garage. We now have excellent coverage throughout the house, front and backyard. All of my cameras out front work great now and don’t have weak or disconnecting signal every other day. So far so good, worked for what I need it for. I will say, the units are very light weight, small, and made from plastic and feel like garbage, but they work, and that’s all that matters. I will report on any issues if they arise.

    A descrio do produto esconde que um MW3 mas da a descrio de um MW6.
    difcil ser claro quando posso enganar!
    O equipamento faz o que est descrito nele mas no um MW6 como menciona a descrio no site!

    Muy fcil de instalar y muy configurable.
    No he probado todas las cosas que es capaz de hacer, tales como el control parental, posibilidad de crear una red para invitados, planificar horarios, etc.
    Hasta ahora usaba un repetidor de wifi para que llegara internet a toda la casa, pero este tipo de red es mucho mejor.
    En mi caso compr el que son 2 cubos. El primero de ellos lo he conectado por cable directamente al router, para que le llegue el mximo posible. El segundo cubo en una segunda planta de la casa, en un punto intermedio, cmo no es un aparato “feo”, no queda mal en ningn sitio. Enseguida se “entienden” ambos cubos y a funcionar.
    El modo de red hace que t te olvides ya de la wifi, cada aparato conectado detecta que seal llega mejor y de ah coge internet. Antes con el viejo repetidor tena que cambiar el nombre de la red “repetida”, para forzar yo al ordenador o al mvil, dependiendo de que parte de la casa estuviera, para conectarme a una red o a otra. Estos problemas, con este tipo de red “mesh” te olvidas.

    Por contra, no s si considerarlo como ventaja o desventaja, la red que crea es nueva, con lo cual slo detectar a los aparatos conectados a esa red, no a la original. Eso en la prctica se traduce en que, en mi caso, tengo una impresora wifi conectada a la red MESH, con lo que si quiero imprimir algo, tengo que asegurarme de que estoy conectado a esa red (y no a la original del router) para que detecta la impresora.
    Tengo una smartv, conectada por cable al router, con lo cual a la red “principal”, y tengo que asegurarme que el mvil est conectada a esta red, si quiero proyectar la pantalla del movil en la TV (mirroring).
    Es una pequea “pega”, fcil de sortear, y de otra parte, tambin sirve para cuando tienes invitados en casa y les dices la contrasea de tu wifi, tengan acceso a internet, pero no a los archivos compartidos de tu ordenador en casa… de otra parte, tambin salvable si creases una tercera red para “invitados” que tambin permite.

    Otra pega, en mi caso, el router principal es un wifi6, con lo que si estoy cerca de l, tengo casi todo el ancho de banda para poder descargar. Desde este “repetidor” si bien la cantidad de internet que llega es mucha (100mb) y suficiente, no es la totalidad contratada. Es posible que un modelo superior s sea capaz de repetir todo el ancho de banda).

    Espero haber ayudado a resolver alguna duda. A m me ayudaron mucho las opiniones a la hora de decantarme por este aparato.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersDa die Nachberin nicht die Mittel hat, sich einen Internetanschluss zu bestellen und zu leisten, half ich ihr gerne aus.
    Hinzu kommt noch, das sie nicht so mobil ist wie unser eins, weil sie sehr stark krperlich eingeschrnkt ist.
    Die Frage war nur wie bekommen wir es am gnstigsten gelst und realisiert.

    Die Luftlinie zur gegenber liegenden Huserreihe betrgt ca. 25 bis 30 Meter.
    Meine Hardware vorher, eine Fritzbox 7560 und einen Noname Repeater im Garten eingerichtet.
    In der Wohnung Gegenber direkt am Fenster, war das Signal zwar vorhanden, aber mig bis gar nicht.

    Meine Gartenhtte befindet sich ca. in der Mitte, von der Entfernung her zur Nachberin.
    Vom Tenda Nova habe ich schon vorher fter gelesen und war erstaunt was die Rezensenten da so schreiben, wie gut es ist.

    Die Nachberin bestellte das dreier Set und ich richtete es ein.
    Zum Erstaunen ging dies relativ einfach.
    Den dritten Wrfel platzierte ich nach der Einrichtung bei ihr auf der Fensterbank.
    Den zweiten vorher bei mir in der Gartenhtte.
    Das Wlan in meiner Wohnung war nach dem ersten Speedtest schon der Hammer.
    Mit einem Wrfel hatte ich fast in jedem Zimmer, die volle Leistung meiner 100ter Leitung. Bei der Nachberin kam fast die Hlfte der Leistung an, aber in der gesamten Wohnung.
    Das heit sie kann sich jetzt frei in ihrer Wohnung bewegen um ins Internet zu kommen.
    Bei mir im Garten habe ich jetzt berall volle Leistung.
    Die einzigste Schwachstelle bei mir war in der Kche.
    Teilweise gar kein Internet, obwohl die Kche neben dem Zimmer ist, wo sich der erste Wrfel befindet.
    Ich vermute zu viele elektrische Gerte die dort stren.
    Mit dem Wlan der Fritzbox ging es vorher so einigermaen.
    Da jetzt ja die Wrfel gefallen sind , muss man ja das Wlan der Fritzbox ausschalten, sonst knnten sie sich gegenseitig berlagern und auch Strungen verursachen.
    Also blieb mir nur die Lsung noch ein zweites Set zu bestellen, denn 6 von den Wrfeln knnen ja zusammen agieren.

    So bestellte ich das zweier Set zum Angebotspreis von 69 .
    Den vierten Wrfel im Tenda Nova Netzwerk einzubinden ist genau so einfach wie es beim dreier Set war.
    Gert hinzufgen und den QR Code eingescannt, fertig. Den Rest erledigt der 1. Wrfel von alleine.

    Es kann schon mal Probleme geben habe ich gelesen.
    Dann mu man beim neuen Set fr ca. 20 Sekunden die Reset Taste drcken.

    Ansonsten klappt es ziemlich einfach und das ist auch das tolle bei den Tenda Novas.
    Den vierten Wrfel platzierte ich in der Kche und siehe da, volles Programm an der Koch-Meile.

    Das gesamte Set der Tenda Nova Reihe, hat mich letztendlich voll berzeugt.
    Die Bedingungen Ist einfach und bersichtlich. Die App wurde mittlerweile auf Vordermann gebracht und ist sehr gut verstndlich.
    Die Wrfel sehen schick aus und sind keine strenden Objekte in der Landschaft der Wohnung.
    Wie die strenden Antennen und Steckdosenkltze Namens Repeater.

    Also wer Probleme mit seinem Wlan hat, sollte einmal die Wrfel fallen lassen und sich selbst davon berzeugen wie stabil und kraftvoll diese kleinen Pakete sind.

    ALEA IACTA EST

    Wlan verlängert bis zur Nachberin, in der gegenüber liegenden Häuserreihe.😘👍💯💥

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersCan not recommend these enough. The walls in my house are so thick my Virgin Internet doesn’t reach the next room let alone all of the house. Brought these yesterday and within 24hrs my whole house is covered I am totally shocked. Keep testing my Internet speed to double check. I would 100% recommend these for anyone looking to boost their Internet. I have tried at least 3 different devices and these are the only ones that have worked.

    I expected to get Internet in the room stat I connected the box to and it still cut out so it’s no different to where I was before I purchased the item I am dissatisfied and it doesn’t accomplish what it supposed to do

    Brilliant piece of kit. We have one connected to the router, one in the kitchen and one in the garden office, speeds are great, no buffering. It has not been used for conference yet.

    A family member happened to recommend these to me as she was telling me about her wifi couldn’t reach her doorbell in her house so i decided to buy them as my wifi kept dropping while working from home, Since buying these we have had not one drop i just placed these in three different rooms for the best signal i have ever had playstations xbox’s firesticks laptops smart tv’s and phones all getting used at the same time and have the best signal and performance just wish i knew about these sooner, so easy to set up defo a must buy if you have signal issue or blackout spots around your home.

    These work great. I live in a barn conversion with some very thick internal walls and these have solved my WiFi dead zone. Easy to set up. Only thing that is a slight concern is that it does say on your devices WiFi screen that they have weak security, not sure how weak as you set your own password.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI 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 agai

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGot it cheaper due to cyber Monday, so even better value. This is so easy and powerful. Recommended. This is cheap and does the same as Google WiFi. Similar level of control and perfect for a normal user. MW3 is more than enough for an old building with 2-3 feet thick walls. It’s a large building. Covers the entire inside and some garden area.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersI’m already covered for Wifi in my home but wanted to test the mesh experience to see if that’s the way I may want to go in the future vs. a typical router, as I have a large 2 story home. So far so good, these little cubes work pretty nicely. They’re really light which was almost offputting. I’ve been used to pretty weighty routers for a good 5 years. The lights assist me in determining the best spots, where I’ll be getting maximum throughput and spread and so far the connection has been seamless. I’m using the system in AP mode and with very few clients so the CPU/RAM isn’t being taxed very much in my scenario and all of the advanced features like QOS, etc. are turned off in this mode, keep that in mind. YMMV.

    Here’s the kicker and why I took a star off. This is an AC Mesh system. You’re capable of getting 300Mbps on the 2.4 Ghz only band and 867Mbps on the 5.0 Ghz band BUT (and it’s big B U T), the WAN port is limited to 100Mbps. This essentially means that you will never see more than 100Mbps when you do a speed test while using only NOVA MW3 nodes which really makes 0 sense at all. This is the mother of all bottlenecks. The only real benefit of this type of system would be to transfer files quickly between wifi connected PCs in the household. If you’re getting anything under 100Mbps from your ISP, I’d take a chance on this since you’re getting some serious coverage for very little money (right now). If you’re getting over 100Mbps, look elsewhere. Your best bet would be getting the MW6, as it’s also pretty inexpensive for what you get. If you do end up using the MW3 as your main device in this case, you won’t be getting the full speed of the connection you’re paying for.

    Now, if you purchased the MW3 and can’t return it or exchange it for something else at this point and didn’t expect this limitation, there’s good news! You can essentially remedy it by purchasing ONE MW6 cube. Nova MW3 and MW6 cubes are compatible, thankfully. You’ll have to reset your network and use the MW6 cube as your main device, then add the MW3 cubes to the mesh network. The MW6 cube has 1Gbps ports and will get you your theoretical 1000Mbps limit, which means that if your connection is, say, a 150, 200, 300, 400 Mbps etc. then you’ll be much closer to those numbers. The downside is that you’re no longer in the value range. The 3xNova MW3 + MW6 has now put you squarely in the monetary range of a more powerful router, though it’s still plenty less than other Mesh systems and now you have 4 cubes to place (the more cubes the better and sometimes range and reliability are better than raw speed or power).

    I’ll update this as necessary.
