Review on 🔁 Motorola Whole Home Mesh WiFi System, AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 2-Pack, up to 6,000 sq ft, Router Plus 1 Satellite in White, MH7022 by Christopher Rodriguez

Here's what you need to know: Hardware: You should already have a) Internet service and b) a cable modem (own or rented from your ISP). It's just a wireless router with 1 or 2 (depending on purchase) signal extenders ("satellites") for better coverage. Appendix. Follow the quickstart instructions (make sure to reboot your cable modem before installing your router - yes, it will take a few extra minutes to start everything up, but it almost certainly won't work properly otherwise). I literally connected the router. Waited 2 minutes for connection, positioned and connected the satellites and waited 2 minutes for connection. Using the default network name and password (printed on the device) - I connected to all three devices in less than 10 minutes (without even opening the app). Application: As mentioned, I initially set up my network without the application, but installed it after the fact and recommend you to use it for several reasons. 1) If you are not comfortable setting up WiFi there is a wizard to walk you through the steps 2) How to change the network name 3) This is the only way to update the firmware (all devices require this - it happens automatically and on each device it took 3-4 minutes) 4) There are several handy free tools like a speed test. A NOTICE. All the basic features of the app are FREE, but if you need parental controls, you can purchase them separately. I only used the free app as I already have my own virus and parental control software. Coverage: I purchased a dual satellite system that claims to cover 9,000 square feet. It CAN, but only in an open field without obstacles. More realistically, each of them allows you to expand hard-to-reach areas of your home - different floors, areas that may have interference, as well as areas that are far from the router. We have about 3000 square meters. ft - I have a router on the ground floor and one sat. on the second floor and one in the basement. it is enough, but it is by no means excessive. Remember everyone was seated. must be within range of the router or another connected satellite. - Placing them too far apart will degrade the signal. Speed: Assassin. I'm getting the full advertised throughput. Both signal strength and overall speed have improved. I get between 400-700MB depending on the device and how far from a given location. I note. I have a Motorola MB8600 cable modem and 1GB of speed coming into the house. Additional Notes: - I tried to connect one of the satellites. via a network cable directly to the laptop. Surprisingly, I found that the LAN/WAN speed was slower than Wi-Fi (for me, it's about half the speed I get from Wi-Fi). The devices have LEDs on the front panel that indicate status in blue, green, or amber. They cannot be turned off unless you turn off the device. So if you are sensitive to light, you should take that into consideration when placing them in bedrooms etc. You only have one network to connect to. If you previously had 2G and 5G as separate bands to connect to, they will go away. This "ties" them together and automatically connects you to the strongest signal. I was worried that I would have problems with smart devices that only support 2.4GHz (printers, wemo ports, ring, etc.) --- not a single problem. I had to reconnect them with a new network name, but they all connected on the first try with no problems.
