## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple set up, works really well in large house, includes wired backhaul option
*by M***N on 27 August 2018*

Bought this based on other reviewers and I'm certainly not disappointed. I chose tenda because it's half the price of equivalent mesh systems and gets loads of positive reviews. We have a challenging house for WiFi that's long, with brick walls all over it. I really wasn't winning with the router and range extenders solution.Firstly Set up: as promised by other reviewers, it really is a 20 minute job. Plug the first node into the router with the included Ethernet cable and download the app. Set up is self explanatory and easy. Then, simply plug in the other 2 nodes wherever is convenient in the house and they sort themselves out, appearing green on the diagram on the app within a few minutes.The outcome: amazing seamless WiFi through the whole house and even garden. I can't believe we didn't do this sooner. If you have any doubts about the price of this mesh compared to others, don't. Just buy it. Works really well, Simple set up. What more is there to want.Final point: there is the facility for wired "backhaul" with these units. It took me ages on the net to work out what this is. Basically, you set the nodes up wirelessly as above, but then you plug each one on to your router or switch via a single cable going from the tenda "wan port" to the router or switch. Ie 3 cables going though the house. This will speed up the WiFi to blistering rates by carrying back the way traffic from your device to the internet by the Ethernet cable, leaving the wireless channels to carry only outgoing traffic from the internet to your device. You certainly don't need to do this. I haven't, and I'm really happy with the speed. However I now have a project, and am going to run some Ethernet when I get a chance, to improve the system. It's nice to have the option, not all mesh systems have this.Very happy customer, recommend tenda!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent mesh wifi for bargain price!
*by A***H on 28 April 2024*

I have been debating on and off between getting a mesh wifi system to hook up into my current Vodafone broadband. After watching some videos online I was convinced and hopped on Amazon to see the current deals - I wanted to have WiFi 6 as this seemed to be the current standard. Luckily I came across this product and after watching a few reviews I was convinced. When I received the MX3 from Tenda I was struck by the great quality looking routers, very small and lightweight but also stylish. I like that they also come with screw mounts build in to the frame of the router, as I will likely wall mount these across the house.Set up was incredibly easy, I plugged in the main controller into my vodafone hub by ethernet and boom a new wifi system emerged. I did the initial set up using my laptop and then switched to the app. After plugging in all 3 routers and performing firmware updates and also splitting the SSID into 2.5G and 5G bands I was in business. I turned off my old wifi and reset up all my devices.I have a fair few smart devices linked to my network (smart thermostat, cctv camera on my garage ( some distance from the house) and various smart plugs, lights and Alexas) and I immediately noticed my speeds and connectivity have improved. I get get nearly full speed connection anywhere in the house and switching to the 2.5G band I can get connection from across the road and the back of the garden. I'm due to upgrade soon to Virgin full fibre and hopefully my speeds will get even better with this mesh system. The network has been super stable with no blips or drop outs.Overall I'm extremely pleased with this product and for the price - I paid £99 for a 3 router kit it’s been a fantastic purchase! Would recommend to anyone.If I was being a slight critic the app is definitely a bit dated and could do with some TLC or an update from Tenda.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great if you only want the basics - returned as didn't do what it says in the spec
*by P***T on 23 April 2019*

If you live in a medium to large house and you are a basic home user who just wants to reliably surf the net and stream Netflix et al at up to 100mbs then these boxes are perfect.They just work. Rock solid in terms of signal strength and couldn't be easier to set up - just plug one into your router and deploy the others around the house.I live in a 4 story town house in a very wifi congested area of London and these just punch through all the noise and deliver solid signals on 5gh and 2.4gh everywhere including the garden and half way up the street.Being dual-band as opposed to tri-band you are limited to 100mbs or so once you are away from the unit which is plugged into your router (I get around 300 mbs from this one as on Virgin fast connection) but 100 mbs is going to be more than most people need I am guessing so no big deal.However, if want to take things to the next level there are limitations which are not obvious until you start to use them such as:VPN: I wanted to connect to the internet via a VPN to increase security and block adverts. Despite what it says in the spec, these boxes don't appear to be able to do this unless you are the Russian firmware version installed. I've tried emailing tech support to see if this feature can be opened up on the English version but no reply.DHCP: The internal DHCP server works just fine but although you can define the IP address range - eg. 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.5.1 you can't define scopes with the range. I like to have some boxes with hard-wired static ip addresses outside the DHCP scope for resilience in case the DHCP server fails.Unless you can define scopes, there is a risk of an address clash. You also have no way of tying a specific MAC address to a specific IP for address reservation. You simply allow the DHCP server to assign addresses and then make them reserved as part of the port forwarding process below.Port Forwarding: Port forwarding is easy. Just select the device from the app and add a port forward and the DHCP server will make that a reserved address and the forward will be added.NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY ADD A MAXIMUM OF 8 PORT FORWARDS.This is why I sent the boxes back. I have many devices such as security cameras and servers which require remote access each of which require a static internal ip address and a port forward and so 8 won't cut it for me.PROS+ Cheap as chips, work brilliantly and are dead simple to set up.+ Solid signal on both bands+ Look niceCons- Setup app is a bit flaky- No VPN- Max speed of 100mbs or so due to dual-band- Limited advanced features
