Review on Wi-Fi router netis WF2780, black by Agata wistowska ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting quality, impossible to use.

I bought this router to replace an old Mercusys MW305R which has 100 megabit ports. Eventually: The speed from the provider is 300 mbps, everything is in order over the cable. The speed in the 5G network is around 130 mbps, but in 2.4G a maximum of 40-50 on a laptop. I connect my old Mercusys router and get 70-90 mbps on my laptop. It turns out that under the same conditions, an old router with 100-megabit ports, bought for 700, gives out 70-90 mbps, and a new one, with gigabit ports, for which I paid 2050 in the hope of getting a higher speed, gives out a maximum of 40-50 mbps . I tried various settings (channel width, chose different channels for 2.4G), and also ated the firmware to the latest official one from the Netis website, but nothing helped. In the end, I returned Netis to the store and bought a gigabit Mercusys AC12G there. The new Mercusys delivers 80-90 mbps on 2.4G and ~300 mbps on 5G, while Netis delivers 40-50 mbps on 2.4G and ~130 mbps on 5G. And the icing on the cake, speaking of marriage: returning Netis to the store, I found that they already had exactly the same router on the shelf, which someone returned shortly before me.

Pros
  • Easy to set up and comes with a small patch cord.
Cons
  • The speed on 2.4G is just awful! The speed from the provider is 300 mbps, everything is in order over the cable. The speed in the 5G network is around 130 mbps, but in 2.4G a maximum of 40-50 on a laptop. This despite the fact that the old cheap Mercusys with 100-megabit ports gave out 70-90 mbps.
