Great device for your money

23 July 2021

Took it as a replacement for the TP-Link WR1043ND router. The apartment layout is complex, and the router was located at the front door, which resulted in a speed of 1 Mbps or less in the farthest room where the laptop and phone are. After installing the unit and node in the same place, the speed is now a stable 40 Mbps (i.e., 40 times stronger!). I decided to try without this node, and the speed is about 15-20 Mbps. I thought about getting a stronger router than the previous one, but this mesh system is just TOP. Sometimes I even go and check the speed every hour because it's unbelievable :)))

The app's functionality is extensive enough for both regular users and those who want something more. The main unit hardly heats up, but the node is always warm.

Get it, you won't regret it.

Simplicity and connection setup, application functionality, speed, seamless roaming, beamforming

It seemed that after the firmware update, the speed became a little lower, but again, most likely it seemed

Vlados: use Tenda Nova MW5 (2-pack) less than month

good model, I liked it.

I bought it to replace my WR1043ND rev.1. I plugged it in, called the provider, changed the MAC address, but the internet did not appear. Resets, reconfigurations, different connection options - nothing worked. I spent 3 evenings (after work) troubleshooting. On the third day, I connected the system in sequence after the old router, and oh miracle, everything started working. I don't know why MW5 cannot work as the main router, but for now, it works for creating an alternative WiFi network in the house (the old WiFi is still working, but I plan to turn it off). I tend to think that it's a provider issue, but I can't rule out the Mesh system. I also noted the somewhat inconvenient app for setup. Without an internet signal, you cannot configure the system or find out internal settings like the MAC address for WAN, the router's IP address, etc. I don't know why they didn't allow access to the regular web menu from a computer browser via an IP address, but the app for the initial setup is not convenient for me personally.

In its defense, the WiFi works perfectly, so I decided not to return the system to the store. I have a channel up to 100 Mbps, and Speedtest shows a speed of 120-130 Mbps through WiFi. I don't even know where such speeds come from, but I like it)) (the old router delivered up to 20 Mbps via WiFi).

App for customization and the process itself
