Bought for my parents. Works extremely well. No drop outs.
Running the similar Mercusys S12 (3 Pack at home), haven't had any issues with it for over a year+ for 2 of us streaming content constantly. Not sure what the differences are between the S & H series.
With that being said, my set was $80 or so, and these budget packs often run promos where you get an extra unit. So iffy on the bargain here.
Ah nice so this is a know brand. I would have bought this if I didn't get the TP Link deal a few days ago.
Mercusys is a line of products made by TP-link so the performace should be about the same.
From a quick search your model and the one listed perform about the same, speed wise at least.
100Mbit Ethernet ports.
Does anyone know whether these still work as a mesh when you put them in access point mode? That is. I wanna keep using my existing router.
Tracking down and downloading the manual wasn't particularly useful.
Yes they should. Had a look on the website just then. Seems to work exactly like the tplink decos.
Only reason I'm not sending a three pack to my parents is cause it's 10/100 on the Lan/Wan ports.
Kind of useless if you have a fast connection.
The app looks like a rebadged TP-Link Deco app
OOS
Do these support a wired backhaul?
Bought the two-pack on the weekend. Very happy with the ease of set-up via the app, and the performance. Have tried a few wireless-extender solutions over the years but this just works so much better.
But I know nothing about technology.
So update 3 weeks on since purchase of the 3 pack and must say not impressed.
Our net is fttn and with Optus using a Sagemcom modem.
I mean it connects but the speed is actually less and disconnects are frequent.
I have set in router mode but will try in access and see if that works over the next few weeks.
Unfortunately lose a lot of the functions we wanted in router mode.
Interesting. Budget mesh system sounds good but performance yet to be determined.
