Review on Tenda Nova MW5G: Dual Band Gigabit AC1200 Router Replacement for SmartHome - Whole Home Mesh WiFi System with Amazon Alexa Compatibility (3 Pack) - Covers 3500 sq.ft by Satish Greener

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powerful, enjoyable and easy to use product!

Pros: Very, very easy to set up. These little boxes are very powerful, they could even cover my whole 2200 square foot two story house. Feet using only the main knot. By activating just two of the three included nodes (one for the first floor and one for the second floor), I was able to cover not only the entire house, but also the front and back yards. our iPhones, with no disconnects or hiccups, although I can't figure out why my Wi-Fi printer and sometimes my laptop (which are only two meters from the main node, in the same room) connect to the secondary node (more than four meters and a concrete floor). Cons: Overall they do the job but the system lacks some sort of WPS pairing option, it could be software included by the manufacturer via a future firmware and app update I think (had to bring my wifi printer to the "Forcing "relearn") my new Nova SSID and password by disabling the nodes and using an old router configured with the exact Nova SSID and password and then enabling the Nova network, pretty much cumbersome, but easy in the end). more enthusiastic and knowledgeable users (currently you can only customize them with the smartphone app), so there may be some additional control options available (without manual channel selection). Using the Insider, I find some cleaner channels than Nova's picked, particularly in the 5GHz band, although I still get excellent range in both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Again, why do some devices like my printer and laptop connect to the farthest node? "Overall I'm still happy with the purchase. I will update if the experience of using it gets significantly better or worse.
