Review on 🏠 Enhance Your Home Network with the AZORES WiFi 6 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System-2 Pack AX1500 by Lawrence Feldman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

good wifi 6 mesh at a very cheap price, UPDATED

I just received and configured this mesh wifi system from Azores. I currently have an HP Aruba and a Unifi UAP install. I ordered the Azores system to make my life and networking easier. I set up the Azores system in 15 minutes including the main router and satellite access point hardwired together. For now, the system is working fine, with full signal strength (one device below and main cover on top), WiFi coverage is excellent. , as good as Arubas or UAP. The guest network is quick to set up and can be isolated from the rest of the network by simply checking the box. You can even create VLANs! The system options for setting up your Wi-Fi network are almost sufficient and really easy to do. The only thing I'm missing (maybe I missed it) is the ability to enter my own DNS. Also, I'm not sure how to backup my user configuration. I didn't buy this Wi-Fi 6 system, but I found out that my S10 (and only this one) supports AX. The speed increase with Wi-Fi 6 compared to Wi-Fi 5 on my S10 is slightly higher (410Mbps vs 490Mbps). So for now I'm happy with my purchase and looking forward to storing my Aruba and Unifi system. UPDATE: After using this product for a while, I noticed this: Wired and wireless backhaul are the same speed. Mine are about 25 meters apart and in sight. I have a data rate of 400Mbps, but the Azores network limits any connection to 200Mbps, even if it's hardwired to the main unit. Additionally, AX Wi-Fi download speeds range from 13 Mbps to 367 Mbps (at 5 feet from the Wi-Fi module). - Frequent disconnects on my AX enabled phone. Also, the Wifi6 range seems to be limited, after 2.5-3 meters it returns to Wifi5. The outages are annoying and eat up my LTE data. Management software is good but limited and still doesn't have half-advanced features like custom DNS settings. I'm reasonably happy with this product, but if the occasional power outages persist or become more frequent I may be forced to return it. With a few improvements (disconnections, management software) this could be a fantastic product. UPDATE 2: Problem with satellite device. The power outages have become more frequent and the satellite smells of fire. Contacted the company and the company the very next day. You are very helpful. I have been VERY SATISFIED with the customer service so far. UPDATE 3: Customer service is great, they sent me a free replacement for the problem satellite. Everything works great, fast speed and great coverage at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
