Tenda MW12-3 whole home mesh Wi-Fi system customer review
Blazing Speed, Whole home Wi-Fi
My old wireless router was beginning to slow,it could not keep up with my family’s growing online content, mesh Wi-Fi systems is the hot new thing in home networking,so after some comparison, I decided to use Tenda Nova home Wi-Fi system.it has a cool, modern design, the 3 nodes is packaged in a beautiful box. The setup was very easy,please note the setup can be done only by Android or IOS App, named Tenda WiFi.it’s a simple four Step connection process. Step 1 -disconnect your existing router, step 2- connect the base node(they ‘re all identical,so just choose one of the 3 nodes to be basenode) to your modem via ethernet cable, step 3-launch the App to create a personalize WiFi name and password, step 4- search for the other node ( I put it on different floors) then make the automatic wireless connection. All nodes connected successfully to internet less than 10 mins. So happy with it. highly recommended.it is faster internet and longer Wi-Fi range whole home Mash system.
