Title: Great value mesh solution!
Review: I am an experienced network tech and am more than happy with the Tenda Nova solution. First, price - I purchased two three packs for the special price of $120. One was for a neighbor and the other for me. A brief word regarding the two houses these units were placed in. My neighbor and I both live in Ecuador. Almost all houses here have concrete wals, floor, and ceilings. This makes connectivity throughout a house extremely difficult. My neighbors house is approximately 3,000 sq feet and relatively thin and long. Her ISPâs connection is at the extreme end of the house and she has never had reliable connectivity at the opposite end of the house. My house is a three story building. I have always had a wifi router placed in my attic, and a repeater on the first floor. The performance on the first floor was spotty AND streaming video in my TV room on the second floor (Roku) was inconsistent at best.Setup - I had already downloaded the Tenda IOS app prior to receving the units so I was ready to go. Plugged in the first unit and received a notification that it was using a DHCP connection in less than a minute. Then it was time to add the next two units. Because the Tenda units are pre-linked all that is required is that you locate the two companion units in a suitable location and wait while they boot up and connect. I have significant experience with Google Wifi and Eero and although I love both of these products their setup is a bit more involved. Also, because the Tenda units are pre-linked (and the notice to simply plug in the 2 additional units is rather small) users might try to use the Tenda app feature to add another Tenda unit (which will fail). Just follow the directions and plug the other two units in, check they have a good signal, and youâre good to go.Performance - living in Ecuador bandwith is expensive. My neighbor only has a low speed DSL connection at 5Mbps (on a good day) mine is a fiber connection at 50Mbps. Many of the online performance tests for the Tenda unit put them a little below or above the Google wifi product and below the Eero. For the speeds we have here in Ecuador the aggregate throughput of the Tenda is MORE than ample. In my neighborâs house i had 100% wifi signal throughout the entire house. A solid 3.5Mbs on speedtest throughout the house (this is her typical wired performance with DSL). Similar experience in my house. A consistent 49Mbps everywhere.IOS App - the Tenda app is almost identical in look to the Eero application. I donât like the upload/download indicators at the top of the Tenda app as much as Eeroâs bandwidth testing results. Tendaâs app gives you an instantaneous measurement rather than a bandwidth test history (which I prefer). I also wish there was a restart option to reboot the units (although I havenât yet had any need to reboot anything). Nice and simple app that gives you access to the basic things you need. If youâre a tech or advanced user used to a web based router interface with access to deep features this will be dissapointing but thatâs not who or what this sytem (or Google wifi, eero, etc) is geared towards.Tech support - I have seen some negative comments in peopleâs reviews of Tendaâs tech support. I had no need to speak with technical support during or after purchase (yet). I did however contact them prior to purchase to ask some questions. Got through instantly. The agent realized my questions were more technical than she could answer and suggested I speak with an engineer who she promised would call back. Got a call later that day and got knowledgeable answers to my questions.In summary, the product in my experience is a great, low cost, mesh solution. Incredibly easy to install. Decent application. Good tech support. Great performance (for my situation). Amazing value for the money. Highly recommended.

Title: It does what you paid for, that's about it. Review is off a 200mb/s link with Spectrum
Review: In a Nutshell: Good price, easy setup, and Wifi signal stays strong. And is worth the money for less technical peoplePros: Very easy setup, and signal does stay strong. App is has some good features, such as renaming devices for simplicity. Also in the app you can set the ip address, before that wasn't possible. With a 200mb/s download offered from Spectrum, the router can easily hit that, but does have to "rev up", not an issue. Ethernet port are gigabit, and offers lower ping that wifi on my Gaming pc from a secondary node. The combined 2.4gz and 5gz works pretty well aswell, and it simplifies wifi connectionsCons: The speed can achieve the offered speeds, but only on the first 2 nodes in a smaller, 2000sqft house, the farthest, 3rd one can only achieve about 125mb/s which is fine, since it's just a bedroom. The app does allow the phone to connect to 2.4gz to setup stuff such as robot cleaners, and doorbells. The Biggest Issue is that it doesn't actually have a wps button, I read that the reset button can be used as a wps, but that's false, forcing me to connect the printer via ethernet. Large constant downloads are a little rough, with a router it can stay constant at 160mb/s, but with the mesh, it's hard to keep constant as it bounces from 120mb/s to 200mb/s.

Title: Not the best.
Review: I bought 6 nodes.I have a fiber optic high speed line in to my home.Home is equipped with 40+ smart devices and a few phones, iPads etcThere are 6 Nest audio speakers and 3 Roku TVs.This system cannot handle more than 30 total devices. If it detects >30 it automatically enables Capacity Oriented Mode. What does that mean? Basically itâs disconnecting devices so that it can share the bandwidth with other devices. It appears that each node can only handle 4 devices at 5ghz. So it swaps them as it seems fit to 2.4ghz.Well that means that every 30 secs or so that one of the Google speakers disconnects then fires up again with another jingle. It also means that any of the Roku TVs will freeze until it swaps to the next network.Shame really cause it was easy to setup but this past day has been frustrating. Gonna have to get a better system.Update: Dec 8, 2025I contacted Tenda Support on Dec 5 when I discovered these issues. I still have not heard back from them. In the meanwhile I removed the Tenda 6 node system and installed a 3 node eero 6+ that is performing very well. I may have to add 1 eero extender in my garage. A little more expensive overall but worth it.

Review: 1. Bought from Tenda Australia and it does come with AU plug.2. Office: connected 1 node in bridge mode to LAN port off the wall. Got our office space 3-4x faster speeds than current wifi setup; more stable too. We have a corner office space in a building floor and I was able to get a signal at the far end opposite corner more than 30m away behind several walls.3. Home: Currently using only 1 node in a medium sized house. Now getting coverage in all parts of all rooms. Full speeds where I used to have some signal before, and partial speeds where I used to have no signal at all. Also reached outside the house and into the garage in the floor below separated by thick concrete. I can easily plug i the 2nd node to get full speeds all through out.Cons/needs improvement.- app dark mode pls; too bright.- Parental controls - would be better to have an option to block specific websites only and/or throttle the speeds instead of cutting off Internet entirely.- Qos: ability to set/limit Internet bandwidth per device or group.- Guest: have an option to limit bandwidth and set no password.
