Description
The Tenda MW3-3 AC1200 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System is designed to improve wireless connectivity in homes where a single router may not provide sufficient coverage. Supplied as a three-pack, this mesh networking system uses multiple wireless nodes to create a unified home WiFi network, helping provide a more consistent connection across different rooms and living spaces.
AC1200 dual-band wireless performance
The MW3 operates on two wireless frequency bands simultaneously. The 2.4GHz band supports data rates of up to 300Mbps, while the 5GHz band supports speeds of up to 867Mbps. Together, these provide an advertised combined wireless data rate of up to 1200Mbps. The dual-band configuration allows compatible devices to connect using the appropriate frequency band according to their wireless capabilities and network requirements.
Whole-home mesh coverage
The three mesh nodes work together to distribute WiFi coverage throughout your home, with a stated coverage area of up to 300m2. This distributed network helps address weak signal areas and WiFi dead zones that can occur in larger homes, multi-room layouts and multi-storey buildings.
Seamless wireless roaming
The Tenda MW3 supports IEEE 802.11v and IEEE 802.11r roaming protocols. All mesh nodes use a single WiFi network name and password, allowing compatible wireless devices to transition between nodes automatically as you move around your home. This helps maintain wireless connectivity without manually switching between separate networks.
MU-MIMO and Smart QoS
MU-MIMO technology helps the network serve multiple compatible wireless devices more efficiently. Smart QoS helps manage network traffic and allocate bandwidth for activities such as online gaming, video streaming, downloading and video conferencing.
Easy installation and management
The three nodes are pre-paired at the factory, simplifying the initial installation process. The system supports mobile device management and requires a compatible Android or iOS device for setup. Each node features a compact 90 x 90 x 90mm housing, allowing convenient placement around the home.
Wired network connectivity
Each MW3 node includes two 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports. The primary node provides WAN and LAN connectivity, while the Ethernet ports on additional mesh nodes operate as LAN ports. These connections allow compatible wired devices to connect directly to the mesh network.
The Tenda MW3-3 is a practical home networking solution for users looking to extend wireless coverage, improve connectivity between rooms and create a unified WiFi network for everyday internet activities.
