      Connect the primary node to your modem and then set it up first. This one will stay next to the modem. The secondary node will connect to the primary once done and then you can put it anywhere in the house you want.

        Modem + Nova MW3 applies to FTTN & FTTB, if your ISP requires VLAN 802.1q or if you have a landline with the big 3 telco's.

        For FTTC, FTTP & HFC you can connect the primary node to the NBN connection box.

    • Twix on 24/07/2020 - 16:55

      No one can properly answer your questions without knowing what kind of NBN? FTTN, FTTB, FTTC, FTTP or HFC?

      Who is the ISP?

      Do they have a landline or only mobile to make calls?

    I don't get wifi coverage in some rooms in my unit, would be this overkill? It's a roughly 90ish sqm unit, but my router is at one end of unit and the rooms are at the other end.

      These should do great, it's a bit overkill for a small space but on the upside you'll get signal everywhere in the unit. Set one up next to the router and the other in a bedroom or central point of all the rooms and you're set.

      • eunnip on 25/07/2020 - 23:33

        Thank you for the advice :)

      Not really an overkills, units are actually pretty bad for WiFi signal (wooden houses are easier to penetrate for the signal, brick walls in units are almost hard-stops).
      Depending on the number of rooms and the layout, you'd need either 2 or 3 of these.

      • eunnip on 25/07/2020 - 23:33

        Thank you for the advice :)
        By 2 or 3, do you mean two or 3 packs (of 2 units each)?
        Or just a total of 2-3 units?

        • ocoolio on 26/07/2020 - 08:47

          A total of 2 or 3 units.

    Hi all - new to the whole mesh thing so hopefully this is a quick question. I am on Optus NBN FTTC, and currently connect my Optus issued modem / router to the NBN network connection device via an Ethernet cable.

    In setting up the Tenda mesh, would I connect a node to the Optus issued modem or directly into the NBN network connection device via Ethernet (in other words the optus issue modem / router is completely removed from the setup). Thanks in advance.

      Internet = NBN connection device to Nova MW3.

      Internet & landline = NBN connection device to Optus modem to Nova MW3.

  • linnaen on 24/07/2020 - 18:18

    Buy two packs for a wider range?

    • b0sanac on 24/07/2020 - 23:29

      You could if you actually need that much range.

      • linnaen on 26/07/2020 - 20:23

        More about getting through concrete walls than range

        • b0sanac on 26/07/2020 - 23:24

          It'd work fine. I have 3 of em set up one on each end of the house and one in the middle of those, and it works really well.

  • pe arl on 24/07/2020 - 19:16

    Ugh, need a router but there hasn't been a deal on the Asus RT-AC86U or RT-AX88U since covid :(

    Australian market for routers is so bad, the same set in another country is $30.
    I'm guessing anti-dumping laws here?

  • LukeB on 24/07/2020 - 23:31

    How do I attach this to my TP-Link router?

    • jv on 25/07/2020 - 00:09

      With an Ethernet cable.

    Thanks - Just grabbed this - looks like the starting price has dropped back to $69 now too.

  • adamelio on 25/07/2020 - 12:31

    Bought a three pack a few weeks back and have been super impressed so far - obviously there are faster options with better features but if you just want decent wifi coverage and are using a trash ISP-supplied router, these are brilliant. Super easy setup, too.

  • svs500 on 25/07/2020 - 12:38

    Hi i've just set this up at my double storey home (3-pack). have a NBN FTTP connection with 100/20 plan. Have a TP-Link Router (Dual-band separate SSID) that is acting as the router and the Nova as bridge. My issue is that before today when i had devices connected to the 5GHz SSID off the router (mainly ground floor where the signal is decent) i could get up to 85-90 Mbps. Once i set up the Nova mesh i'm losing on average 20 Mbps as compared to previous. I'm pretty sure its because the mesh system doesnt allow for separation of the frequency bands and devices are falling back to 2.4GHz. Is it normal to have such a difference in speed and is there any way around this?

  • Ryanek on 28/07/2020 - 08:42

    The 3 pack is available on Amazon for $99

    What's the benefit of "works with Alexa and Google"?

    Well in my experience these are definately a case of you get what you pay for.

    Having recently setup deco M5 mesh systems at 2 different relatives houses with great results (full wifi signal to all parts of a large house and a 2 story townhouse), i thought id give these a try in my own very small weatherboard house.

    The good news is that they work fine and are easy to setup and much cheaper than the m5.
    My house is small enough and made of weatherboards so they are suitable- but only just!

    The bad news is the range on them is WAY less than the m5.

    The instructions even state that both nodes need to be within 10 metres of eachother to get 'good' signal- ie full wifi bars in the coverage zone between the 2 nodes.

    They aren't joking about that- the 2nd node doesnt work very well at all if it is any further than 10 metres away from the 1st one.

    Given that the whole point is to extend wifi range- requiring a node every 10 metres is quite a serious limitation!

    (As a comparison, I placed the 2 m5 deco nodes at least double that distance apart (ie 20m+) in both the houses i did, with no dramas.

    The wifi signal on these mw3s drops down to 3 out of 4 bars very quickly from about 10m (and continues decreasing quickly as you move further away).

    Yes these are $60 for a pair and m5 are $200, so you literally buy 3 pairs of mw3s and have 5 nodes 10m apart in your house and you would get full bars all over the house (like 1 pair of m5 decos does).

    But that would involve setting up (and powering) 5 of these mw3s all over your house vs just 2 m5's at either end of your house.
    (5 is max number of nodes allowed for one mw3 setup).

    So yeah, these things work ok- but you're better off getting m5's unless you:
    A. Are prepared to live with less than full bars coverage; or
    B. Are prepared to buy and setup 5 nodes instead of 2 deco m5's; or
    C. You have a small area you want to provide full bars coverage to (ie the 2 nodes will definately be within 10 metres of eachother)

    I have a 3-pack already installed, has been running for 6 months, no problems. (Well, I have the Kogan one, but its the MW3 ones).

    I want to install a fourth point, so I have better coverage in my man/kid cave. Looking for some advice pls.

    • Can you just add as many points as you want? (EDIT: Just read damoo's 5 unit max comment above)
    • If I buy this, it should connect fine into my 'Kogan' mesh network?
    • IF I decided to buy some MW6s, do they just fit into my existing MW3 network? (I know that overall speeds will probably be throttled to MW3 speeds, but it would 'future proof' my newer units)

    Thanks
