Tenda Nova MW5 (2-pack) (MW5-KIT-2)

Equipment for computer networks is the main activity of the Chinese company Tenda. To create a single seamless coating with high-quality connection in all corners of a large apartment or country house, the Tenda Nova MW5 MESH system is well suited.

Dual band operation

The system broadcasts in two bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. In the first case, the peak data rate threshold is 300 Mbps, in the second — 867 Mbps. The main block of the kit is a small "cube" with dimensions of 93x91x91 mm. On the receiving side of the module, there are two gigabit WAN/LAN and LAN ports. The additional node plugs directly into a 230 V socket and is equipped with a LAN port for wired connection of a desktop computer.

Mobile app

To set up the connection, the user will need to download and install the Tenda Wi-Fi application on the smartphone. It provides intuitive functions for configuring, creating a guest network, parental control settings. Also, new nodes are included in the system through the menu. Their maximum number reaches six, so that a wireless network can be deployed over an area of over 500 m². In a configuration with one signal amplifier, the MESH system works to serve a "square area" of about 300 m².

Five points

The assets of Tenda Nova MW5 include support for Beamforming and MU-MIMO technologies. The disadvantages of the model are a small number of ports and the lack of a web interface for configuring the network. However, for an ordinary home user, the system's capabilities are more than enough. Indeed, with its main mission of creating a single seamless Internet coverage, the device handles with a solid "five".
