Living in a property that has 18 -24 inch walls with a large central chimney stack, wifi has always been a problem. The powerline extenders were forever needing resets and they don't like two lots of wiring/fuseboxes. The most recent Sky hub is very good but my phone socket is 15 metres and 2 feet of wall (x2) away from the TV and living room. I've got round this by running cable to the skybox but wifi devices are virtually useless.I thought I'd give these a go and it is simplicity to set up, almost plug and play.Then the fun started. In spite of the blurb these really can't cope with thick walls unless you drastically reduce the distance between the devices or have more than three.They are also limited by quite a short power cable - its amazing how many sockets are in dead spots. However that's what extension cables are for.In the end I had to run a 10 metre ethernet cable to high point in the house from the hub to hook up the first pod. I then downloaded the Netgear app for tracking wifi signal strength as the single LED on the pods really doesnt give much away, a simple green, amber or red.The second pod is only 3 metres from the first but the signal passes at an angle through a 2 foot wall, the third around 5 from this. All of them are upstairs and by arranging them this way I've covered all bar 2 rooms.So far the signal is holding steady albeit around mid strength, unless nearly on top of the pod.For the money they are good value - I'm a typical user on fibre but in the middle of nowhere, speed isnt much above 40mbs and so I'm not fussed about the 10/100 port. They are a neat little thing and can be easily hidden in the clutter but look good on their ownLike I say, the cable could be a little longer and don't expect miracles with very thick walls or foil insulation but to be fair after a bit of faffing and £5 on some cat 6 ethernet cable they are doing what they said.The seamless room to room roaming is very good too. Great on wifi phone calls. I've turned off the wifi from the sky hub as I'm not sure if there could be interference.Bargain at the price and I'd say ideal for your average user streaming TV, music etc.

I have BT fibre to the premises which runs into my garage. The BT router has really poor WiFi coverage resulting in regular disconnects and laggy connections, it also goes down every so often. I live in a 3 storey house so have one on each floor. I simply switched the WiFi off and connected the first node to the router. After launching the Tenda app it found the network and had me up and running in no time and was really simple. I then placed the other 2 nodes, one on each floor, after powering them on it took about 30 seconds to join the network.It couldn't have been simpler to set up, I now have full strength and full speed coverage in every part of my house,I made a point of connecting the nodes nearby to other devices eg. The middle node has the living room TV and sky box connected to improve performance.You can technically remove the BT router and just use pppoe but you would then lose the firewall which is inadvisable, besides the router is perfectly functional, its just the WiFi it is poor at.If you have WiFi coverage issues and are fed up of listening to the kids moaning about it then just buy this, at £75 for 3 it is an absolute steal. If you have a broadband connection faster than 100Mb then you may want the Mw6 version as it has a gigabit ethernet connection, this MW3 is just 100Mb so would act as a bottleneck. The WiFi I believe is 1200ac so fast for moving files around locally but anything external is restricted by the fast ethernet port to 100Mb.

I started having Wi-Fi issues at home after moving to a new house and started looking for solutions. I looked at normal extenders first but realised they cast a new network that needs manual switching every time also they could only repeat a signal they receive i.e if the signal it receives is weak then it is pretty useless also ordered and tried a repeater which dropped my wifi speed by half. Then I came across this with all the good reviews. Ordered the two pack it worked brilliantly but wanted strong wifi everywhere in the house so thought id send it back and order the 3 pack. Ended up keeping both. Now I have full wifi everywhere in the house and the garden with seamless roaming no need to manually switch wifi also no speed loss.If you have a normal fibre/broadband that offers around 20-30mbps this is great. If your speed is over 100mbps you might want to consider the other more expensive models. For me this is great. Realised the optimal requirement for my house is 4 nodes. And now I get the full Internet speed everywhere in my house as i did when I was directly connected to my router. In fact i had an issue with netflix buffering at 1080p quite regularly. I no longer have that issue leading me to believe that this device manages wifi traffic better than the ISPs router. Also I highly recommend the 3 pack even if you think your house is smallish this is because if you want to add a node later it can be expensive to buy just 1. So might as well get the 3 pack

I looked at a few different mesh systems before deciding on this one. There's only my wife and I at home and although both of us use the internet a lot, neither of us uses massive amounts of bandwidth. We just need a good wifi signal around the house We recently had a lot of building work done with the installation of a fair amount of extra steelwork. We also changed broadband providers and wifi from their router was appalling. So after a bit of research, I bought a cheap TP Link modem / router and this Tenda Nova MW3 system. I wanted the TP LInk to do the routing and the MW3 to do the wifi. I set the TP link up as the modem/router and switched wifi off on it. I then set the Tenda Nova MW3 up in bridge mode,so that I was just getting the mesh wifi system that we required. We now get an excellent wifi signal everywhere in the house and out into the front and back gardens. There is nowhere on our property that we can't get a decent signal at almost the full speed of our broadband. They were really easy to setup. There are faster mesh systems on the market but they cost a lot more and we just don't need all the extra features they promise. Also remember that it doesn't matter how fast your wifi is, if your broadband is slower, you won't benefit from faster wifi unless you're transferring files across your internal network. All we want is a decent signal at a decent speed. We've got that at less than half the price of the other systems I was looking at.

This product is brilliant. I wish I had bought it years ago. This simply solves all Wifi issues, removing all dead spots in our house.We have a Virgin Superhub in the living room, which left massive dead spots in bedrooms, back of the house and certainly was not capable of reaching the garden. Also our Superhub had continuous issues, needed resets every week.With this new system all that is resolved. I switched the Superhub to "modem" mode, which switches off the Wifi, and connected it to one of the Nova boxes, and put two other Nova boxes in other rooms in the house. Now we have high speed wifi everywhere, including in the garden. And I have yet to have any issues or need to reset it.Before this I tried a range extender but that did not solve anything.It did not add much range, and because it emitted a different wifi to the superhub, our phones would "stick" to a weak superhub signal rather than switching to a stronger signal from the extender when walking through the house. Since the Nova boxes hand over to each other seamlessly, that issue does not occur.Setup was easy, with only a brief issue with our Sonos system which was a bit finicky until I simply plugged the Sonos bridge (later upgraded to a Boost) directly into the Nova main system, and then I had to set up the Sonos system from scratch (adding one speaker at a time). A bit time consuming but it now works like a charm.Highly recommended!!

After much research into the various options for mesh WiFi below £200, I eventually went for the Tenda Nova MW3.Installation was dead simple and only took a few minutes. It's much faster than our previous solution which was a standard router (BT, Sky, etc.) and a BT Wifi extender.I was originally concerned that administration can only be done via the official iOS/Android app, rather than a web interface. This seems quite short sighted because the end user has to hope that the app remains compatible with future releases of iOS and Android. But I found that most of the competition (below £200) are also app-based. Fair enough. Worst case, I'll just have to keep an old device around for admin.Features-wise,I don't know how it compares to the competitors but you can configure it from anywhere. I can be at work and still do everything, which is quite nice. I can also see which devices are hogging bandwidth and even block them. Both handy features in a family household!The only real negative for me is that it's rated at half the speed of the BT Whole Home option. i.e. it's AC1200 vs. AC2533. But it's also half the price and easily fast enough for most fibre connections.All in all, I'm glad I went for this and not something more expensive. When I eventually need something faster, a few years from now, it will probably be much cheaper to do so.

I’m writing this review from the extension at the back of my house. Before I got the Tenda Nova MW3, there was zero signal here, now I have a full strength signal.I live in an old Victorian house with thick walls, and getting a decent WiFi signal from my Sky router from anywhere except the front room (where the router is) was always a problem. I’d been looking at getting a mesh system for a while, but the price put me off. I read a review about the Tenda Nova and decided to give it a try.Set up was so simple. Download the Tenda app to your phone or tablet. Plug in the first box into your router/modem. Find the WiFi signal on your phone, log in with the password printed on the underside of the box,place the other 2 boxes where you need them and you’re done.There is a light on the boxes which stays green if you have a good connection, or orange if it is poor. As long as each box is within 10 metres of each other, you shouldn’t have a problem.I placed one in the front room next to the router, the second upstairs in the middle bedroom and the last one downstairs in the back extension, and I now have a full WiFi signal throughout the house.I’m no techie, all I wanted was a good internet connection without any hassle without paying silly money. This certainly delivers and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for the same!

We live in a L-shaped barn conversion with double-storey and single-storey wings and very thick walls. Our 4G broadband connection comes in at one end, and although we have wired connections going to the other parts of the house, the WiFi signal is terrible. To date, we've relied on routers and repeaters with their own SSIDs, but because there's an overlap between signals, our mobile devices rarely pick up the strongest signal and just hang on for dear life to whatever's left of the last one they were connected to. With three Tenda Nova nodes connected by wire back to the 4G router, this is a thing of the past. We can now wander around the house with full WiFi signal wherever we go.The fact that they are only 100Mbps makes no difference to us, as our 4G connection is only 20-25Mbps in any case.There were pretty easy to set up. I got them all working wirelessly first, updated the firmware, and then set about connecting the wired backhaul to maximise the wireless speed. I'm not sure this has actually made much difference, but they're wired now anyway.I've left off one star as they've only been up and running for a week so far, but if you have a <100Mbps incoming connection and have had to rely on access points, repeaters or routers dotted around your house for your WiFi signal, then just buy them!

I was unsure about this product as it’s a brand I don’t know, however I took the plunge based on the other reviews and I’m more than happy with the results. In the attic we used to get 5mb (if we had signal) and now we have 30mb which is what we get through our main line in the lounge and is plenty enough for us watching/streaming video. However, it did take a little trial and error for the best places to put each node/unit.Set up is really easy and straight forward and I like the idea I can add more should I need. Each unit is quite small and blends well with the decor in our house. My only comment would be the units all seem very light and a bit plasticky,but then again it’ll just be holding the antennas for signal.I haven’t tried the support from Nova, and if I’m honest I don’t hold out much hope (I may be surprised), however, for the price, half the cost of the next mesh WiFi system at the time of purchase, I’m more than happy with the results. Technology is moving so fast, I didn’t see the point in spending £200-300 for a brand name knowing that when we move to a bigger place in a few years time, it might need replacing anyway.

So, I signed up for the virgin mobile 200 megs package. The trouble is the supplied SH3 router is rubbish, standing next to it, sure, close to 200mb/s.Step into a room and if you get a signal at all it's barely 2/3 megs most days. It got so bad the kids were sitting on the stairs to get a signal from the hallway virgin router.Virgin customer services were largely unhelpful and blamed the layout of the house!This mesh set up is brilliant. The cheapest brand but it works great, I can't achieve speeds close to what virgin supply because the port only supports 100 megs. I went for the cheapest option because had my doubts about the set up.You will need the mw6 set up if you want speeds in excessof 100mb/s though.I will buy just one mw6 when on special to plug straight into the router to give me the faster speeds and my existing mw3 mesh nodes will relay this around the house, customer service at Tenda said this will work well.Every room in the house now gets great connection with fast speeds. I'm pleased I took the plunge, well worth the money if you are suffering with poor signal and black spots.

After some research and deciding on trying mesh option, came across this unit. Considering mesh products from the other brands with 2 or 3 access points coming to about £200-£250 this looked too cheap. After reading the reviews I gave it a go and couldn’t be more pleased with it. Installation was pretty much plug and play, the app worked well for me so far. I was also really impressed with the range and how quickly and seamlessly you can roam between the hotspots with your devices as you move around.I plugged the 1st unit to my Vodafone router and turned off the WiFi on the router so that only Nova’s WiFi is On.It has been a few days but particularly happy with it and will update if I comeacross any issues.I advise you to go through the settings via their app once everything is installed.Update: After day 4 of amazing operation, one of the nodes have failed and after doing various troubleshooting nothing brought it back. It just stopped connecting to the other 2 nodes. Returning as faulty item and will try with a replacement.

The Good: Bought these to alleviate terrible wifi coverage throughout our bungalow. Having used Wifi repeaters & powerline kits with less than satisfactory results as I had frequent drop outs while streaming 4k Netflix on my TV so I opted for this kit & it works really well! Devices like iphones, ipads, etc connect seamlessly from room to room too.The Bad: On one of my node units the status light came on when first setup & went out shortly after & hasnt worked since, it doesnt effect functionality but disappointing new out of the box, contacting Tenda support is a complete waste of time, emails are just ignored as is tweeting their support on Twitter,some people on Twitter have received a reply & I’ve even tried to get a response that way by tagging onto their tweets but still ignored. This lets Tenda down badly & really taints an otherwise good product, it stinks when companies dont answer their customers when they have issues like this! A good company that values its customers should ‘always’ have good back up.

Absolutely brilliant I've been trying for months to get my sky fibre alleged super fast broadband to work to its full potential, tried Power line equipment which gave no better results, sky would palm me off with all sorts of bull**** like try changing channels amongst other things.So decided to give these a go as the price was good and had little confidence in spending too much because nothing else has worked, very easy to setup and results are amazing, now have a full WiFi signal everywhere in the house, even top of my 70 ft garden,highly recommended purchase. It still works off your existing router but creates its own network with no interference so when you complete install remember to switch all your WiFi devices to the newly added network it allows you to name it what you like,set a secure password so its easy to find. So just go to your WiFi settings on each device search WiFi networks which will still be set on your original choice ie sky, then select your new option which you've just created. Superb item.

These little cubes are great and simply get on with the job they're tasked with. Previously I had tried a WiFi extender and it was unreliable at best but having installed these I get decent coverage over my entire house and garden - I probably could have done it with just two as well.There are some minor downsides:1) I don't quite get my full internet speed when connected to any other cube other than the base station one (which is connected to my router). Although it is close and overall shared bandwidth over the house is fine, I'm just minorly disappointed about single device peak performance.2) The setup requires an app rather than a web page - this will inevitably mean some day I won't be able to reconfigure my devices when the app support moves on3)I don't like that it changes the default DNS search domain to tendawifi.com - I can understand why it'd do that for setup maybe but can think of various other ways around that...and it feels shady even if it isn'tOverall quite happy with my purchase

These little cubes are a beautiful solution to weak wifi. My house has a couple of floors and wifi comes in at the bottom but fails to reach the top of the house. I've used power line extenders and wifi repeaters, but they've all been flakey, slow and inevitably repeat a weak signal stronger - which just gives you a strong version of the weak signal.The mesh technology used by these cubes work differently - the app is a little confusing briefly but it'll update the firmware, but installation is as simple as plug on cube into your broadband system, and it's done. Configure cube 1 in the app to say what wifi name and password you want (eg the same as your existing one),and job's done.Install cube 2 at one corner of the house, cube 3 somewhere else, and the app will show you in real time that the cubes are supporting each other to give 100% signal strength everywhere.The cubes are about the size of two large potatoes or half a bag of sugar - and they're stylish.They've worked perfectly!
