There are couple of things that are essentialin modern connected world. For me, the number one is internet speed as everyonewants to make sure it should be fast and reliable and available in every cornerof your home. Now in order for me to do this, I need a Mesh network because myhouse a slightly over 6000sq.ft over three stories.
If you're not familiar with what meshnetwork is then let me explain. It’s simple design means that have nodes placedthroughout your home it looks similar to the mage on the right. The reason youput these three nodes throughout your home is, depending on the size and shapeof your home, to provide a strong Wi-Fi signal that can reach every corner.
So a lot of people confuse Mesh Networkwith access points which is a completely different technology. Access points are essentially two routersthat are kind of fighting for your connection. For example if you are in the middle of these two routers then one ofthem will try to take that connection over the other which causes a conflict.When this happens you start to get very ‘spotty’ connection. These Mesh nodes from Tenda have a seamless handoffso that when you go from one area to another it's not going to break thatinternet connectivity. No conflict, better roaming and extended qualitycoverage.
I have been using Nova MW6 from Tenda andwhat sparked my interest was the price. Most Mesh networks currently available willcost several hundred dollars and if the cost is prohibitive then you end up compromisingby purchasing an extender or repeater. The Tenda Nova series is actually mostaffordable option providing you whole home Wi-Fi and with some extra featuresand smartphone app to manage your Wi-Fi.
If you live in a smaller home or anapartment you can start with MW3 or MW5 or even with a MW3 two node pack. Nova series is customizable and scalable youcan buy additional Nova units as your WiFi needs grow
In addition to this the setup process isfast and easy, just plug and play! In the box you get a router and two Mesh nodesand all you have to do is connect power to each and connect one of the nodes bythe Ethernet cable provided to your modem/router/hub.
Setup process probably takes about two orthree minutes then I downloaded the Tenda App which is available for iOS andAndroid. Connect the first device to the modem then place a node on the firstfloor and finally placed the third node on the 3rd floor. By following theinstructions on the Tenda App I can see the network come to life and can nowname each node according to its location.
So no matter where I am in my home bycompleting a speed test I was getting consistent speaks throughout whether Iwas on the third floor, second floor or even the first floor.
Tenda App also allows you to do things like block unknown devices form your Wi-Fi,put a time restriction to any specific user or device, you can create a guest networkand use other advanced features. But the best part about it is that Tenda make it so easy to use, that anybodycan do this! Also the design blends in orfits with your home interior, if you place the nodes in the living room in thekitchen area or even in the bedroom then it's going to blend in really well.
I recommend you do something right now. Gothroughout your home and run a speed test to see if you have any dead zones orinconsistent speed. If you do then now is probably a great time to pick up a mesh network similar to thisbecause this is very easy to set up and also affordable.
