TENDA NOVA MW3(2-PACK) MESH System Wireless Router

The wireless router TENDA NOVA MW3(2-PACK) MESH is a dual-band mesh system aimed at home and small office environments, where you want a stable Wi-Fi 5 signal without complicated settings. It operates on the AC (Wi-Fi 5) standard and combines 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to cover a larger area with fewer 'dead zones'. Each mesh node has two Ethernet ports, giving you flexibility when connecting wired devices. You get a balanced combination of easy installation, decent wireless speed, and basic networking capabilities.

What you get: dual-band Wi-Fi with up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz for heavier tasks like streaming and online gaming and up to 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz for broader coverage and lighter devices. The mesh concept with two modules allows you to spread the nodes across different rooms and reduce areas with weak signals, instead of relying on a single central router. With 2 Ethernet ports on each node, you can connect a desktop computer, Smart TV, or console via cable, even when they are far from the main router. Support for IPsec, PPTP, and L2TP pass through means you can use external VPN solutions without conflicts with the router. The built-in antennas and compact design make positioning easy – just place it where you need coverage, without protruding external antennas.

• Operates on the AC (Wi-Fi 5) standard, providing higher efficiency and better performance in a crowded wireless environment compared to older N routers.
• Maximum wireless speed up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz, suitable for HD/4K streaming, online gaming, and fast downloads on devices that support 5GHz.
• Additional 2.4GHz frequency with up to 300 Mbps, which provides better coverage through walls and is convenient for IoT devices, phones, and older laptops.
• Each mesh node has 2 Ethernet RJ-45 ports, with one port on the main being WAN and the other LAN, while on the additional ones both work as LAN for wired devices.
• Support for IEEE 802.11ac/a/n (5GHz) and IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of old and new Wi-Fi devices.
• Integrated 2 x 3dBi internal dual band antennas in each module for a stable signal, without external elements that could interfere with placement.
• Built-in VPN pass through for IPsec, PPTP, and L2TP, allowing VPN traffic to pass to clients or external VPN routers without additional settings.
• Wired connectivity with 10/100 Ethernet, suitable for typical home internet plans up to a hundred Mbps and basic office scenarios.
• Lack of USB port, Samba server, QoS, 3G/4G, Printserver, and PoE, which simplifies the device and focuses it on pure Wi-Fi and LAN functionality.
• Certified by FCC, CE, RoHS, EAC, IC, so it meets the basic safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Who it is suitable for: if you are looking for an easy way to cover an entire apartment or small office with Wi-Fi without getting into complicated network settings, this mesh system is a sensible choice. It is suitable for users with an internet plan up to 100 Mbps and a mix of mobile devices, laptops, and a few wired machines. It is not aimed at scenarios where you need gigabit speeds, advanced QoS policies, or a built-in file server.

The combination of Wi-Fi 5 mesh, dual-band connection, and two Ethernet ports per module makes the TENDA NOVA MW3(2-PACK) MESH a practical solution if you want more even wireless coverage without unnecessary complexity and heavy settings.
