Nova Mesh WiFi System MW12 - Covers up to 6000 sq.ft - Tri-Band AC2100 Whole Home WiFi Mesh System - Gigabit Mesh Router for 100+ Devices - Dual-Band Mesh Network - 3 Gigabit Ports - 3-Pack

I had not heard of this brand before doing some research online. The products work great, and I have a good signal across my entire house. The setup was remarkably easy through the app, which allows you to scan a QR code on the back of each device. I have no regrets about this purchase; It works as advertised, was exceptionally easy to set up, and had the right price point for my budget.

These work across the whole house, and sometimes I even get signal in the driveway and backyard. No signal in the garage, however, I didn't install one in the garage.

I recommended 100%, excellent range

UPDATED REVIEW: Now that these are past their return date, their true colors have emerged. Dropping from 4 out of 5 star to 1 out of 5. My home is two story and 4000 sq/ft. I have a 1 Gig speed package (verified wired speed). I purchased the Tenda Nova MW-12 bundle as an upgrade to a first generation Google WiFi Router Mesh system. PROS: When they work, they work great. CONS: The first issue is even when back-planed (the units are hard wired to each other via Ethernet Cat 6 cable) throughput is slow. I recently upgraded to a GIG internet plan. If I connect my laptop to the modem/router I get gig performance. The MW12 connected directly to the router delivers 400 Mbps wireless speed. The MW12 in my office (50 foot CAT6) drops to 90 Mbps. In addition, the MW12 units that are not back-planed experience random wireless service drop outs. The ROKU in the bedroom, which never had a problem with the slower Google Mesh, loses connectivity to the network every few days. This is even after doubling the number of MW12 mesh units from three to six. Wireless speed also drops of dramatically with distance from an access point. That 400 Mbps near the router drops to 90 Mbps at >15 feet. CONCLUSION: If you need reliable wireless for work from home, uninterrupted streaming or gaming, buy something else.

I had a mw3 5 node network and installed the mw12 tri-band network. I wanted to continue using one of the old mw3 nodes at my show but the old node keeps crashing. The new mw12 nodes are awesome and I have no complaints. I'm hoping to fine one more mw12 node, but so far have been unable to do so. Still it works well and is very fast.

I have been putting off replacing my old equipment for years until I saw this Mesh unit. After watching various videos on the Tenda installation, I finally took a chance of working with my network. To my surprise and delight, the installation was better than advertised! In less than 30 minutes, I replaced my router, increased coverage throughout the house, and gained more speed than I ever could have imagined! I sincerely recommend this unit for anyone looking to improve their home network.

120 some bucks for 3 boxes beautifully executed! I have paid 3 times that for ugly boxes with antenna sticking out and several plugin extenders that were even uglier with spotty Wi-Fi and half dozen different Wi-Fi names. In comes the Tenda Nova MW-12 and everything changed. Let me tell you, the setup took all of 15 minutes from opening the box and all gadgets at home humming like crazy! I think it took longer to dismantle the old setup! LOL. Anyway I retained the old Wi-Fi name and password as I had too many things connected by Wi Fi and I did not want to reconnect every one of them individually. Some are in the crawl space controlling yard equipment like the garden fountain and landscape lights. I hooked it up to the Spectrum Modem with the Tenda Boxes (Nodes) Downloaded the app on my phone and configured a few things. Restarted the Modem and Tenda Nova Node and Voila! I had 100% signal all over my house and covered the entire 5600 sq ft beautifully. I placed the nodes at three different areas to maximize coverage. So far speed test in every corner of the house blows away everything I had before and its not even close. I don't know how reliable these things are but they appear to be well made and should last long. Very much impressed with Tenda Nova. I understand they are pretty basic when it comes to routers but unless you are a geek or you are some fancy computer guru who expects crazy things, this in my opinion is more than adequate for all the non techie non geek mortals who simply need good coverage and speed in a single Wi-Fi name all around the house. Setup could not be any easier and basic and basic is all you need. MESH Wi-Fi is the way to go for larger house with 2-3 levels as it switches automatically for the best signal. Updated review 10/22/2023 The last few days have been frustrating. The unit starts to disconnect from the internet frequently every few hours and sometimes within one or two hours requiring a physical reset of the Nova router. I have followed all the troubleshooting instructions provided by Tenda and nothing changed. Done hard reset, re install and upgraded the firmware, done it all but I wake up to "No Internet" and come back home in the evening to the same message. Sometimes I will be watching TV (Streaming) and it cuts off making it a very sorry piece of equipment. I am downgrading it to 2 stars because of the reliability problems. No safety features exist on the app and there is no way to configure anything on your computer. A great potential lost due to poor reliability and bad connections.

October 2022 -- For 90% of the DSL, cable, or direct internet users here, the Tenda MW12 is a great system, easy to setup, easy to use, strong signals, and has decent node switching while moving about the house. For the price, a great deal from a little known company. For anyone on a fiber network (I have CenturyLink), you will still need another router in front of the primary MW12 node as you can not set a VLAN id, in this case 201 for CenturyLink in the PPoE settings. Its just not there. So, for my setup, I have my old Asus with wifi turned off, acting as my PPoE router to the fiber ONT, and then have the Tenda MW12 in bridge mode. This way the same IP network shows up on the Tenda wifi and no dual nat situation present (you can also do a static network route from your main router to the Tenda network). However, the bridge mode only showed up after I did a firmware upgrade on the Tendas. Long story, I will probably return the MW12s as the entire point was to go direct from the Fiber ONT to the MW12 and that's it. I do have a 8 port tenda unmanaged switch connected to the MW12 as most of my office gear is CAT6 connected and those work great, but mind you, the MW12s only have 2 RJ45 ports on the bottom.

Jest w miare ok natomiast ciezko mi to polecic. Urzadzenia sa przede wszystkim niestabilne. Mam swiatlowod 640/160mb i pomimo bliskiej odleglosci 3 urzadzen (jeden poziom w domu, okolo 80m2) to sygnal wifi czesto jest bardzo slaby lub nawet zanika tzn pokazuje ze wifi jest dostepne ale nie ma dostepu do internetu. Urzadzenia swieca na zielono sygnalizujac dobra jakosc sygnalu ale internet nie dziala i z urzadzeniem nie mozna sie polaczyc przez aplikacje Tenda. Tylko jedno urzadzenie jest podpiete na kabel (matka) dwa pozostale tylko wifi. Jak probowalem podlaczyc wszystkie do gniazdek utp to szaleja i siec nie dziala. Glowny router swistlowodowy dziala ok. Przykladowe zdjecia w zalaczniku

Absolutely fantastic! Super easy to install. Now I don’t have any wifi drop outs though my house!

Es un producto de clasificación PREMIUM, el costo es alto, pero vale lo que pagas, esto es por la cantidad de funciones y/o características del producto, la velocidad puede variar pero nunca ser mala o muy diferentes a lo que tienes contratado. Un ejemplo tengo 150 megas simétricos en mi servicio, y el producto me ofrece 140 promedio, esto en WIFI, con cable esto hasta puede ser mas gracias a los puertos los cubos tienen que son 2. Así que, de que es un producto excepcional, lo es. Igualmente su aplicación no tiene fallas, al menos en lo personal me funciona de maravilla. Igual cuando se va ala luz, la re-conectividad es veloz. Altamente recomendable.

A good product, I would recommend buying it.

La instalación fue muy sencilla y la señal llega perfecto a la tercera planta de mi casa, es estable y fuerte. La aplicación también es sencilla de usar y permite ver quién está conectado tu red con posibilidad de eliminar usuarios no deseados.
