Mercusys Halo H50G Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 5 System Review

I wasn’t overly impressed with the Mercusys Halo S12. While it is incredibly cheap, the overall specification and performance reflected the price. The Mercusys Halo H50G is a significant upgrade in specification and what I would personally recommend as the minimum specification you want from a Wi-Fi mesh system. With many homes being able to…

Tenda Nova MW5s AC1200 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System Review – Providing reliable Wi-Fi at a fraction of the cost of premium models

I have covered Mesh Wi-Fi systems a lot over the past year or so, and this is due to their explosion in popularity in recent years. The biggest problem most people have with WiFi is the range, and previous solutions such as running multiple routers, repeaters and powerline extenders were all a bit hit or…

TP-Link Deco M4 launched. Affordable AC1200 Mesh Wi-Fi

Mesh Wi-Fi is the best thing to happen to Wi-Fi in years and solves most of the issues consumers have with their Wi-Fi, and that is poor range or black spots around the home. I have reviewed several Mesh Wi-Fi systems now including Netgear Orbi and Zyxel Multy, though I have not reviewed a TP-Link…

Zyxel Multy X Tri-Band WSQ50 vs Netgear Orbi RBK50 AC3000 Mesh Wi-Fi

Having recently reviewed the excellent Zyxel Multy X mesh wifi system I thought it would be worth comparing it to the market leader, the Netgear Orbi. With the growing number of Mesh Wi-Fi options on the market, each manufacturer approaches the problem at a different angle. For example, the BT Whole Home Wi-Fi is one…

Zyxel Multy X AC3000 Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi review

Mesh Wi-Fi is the best thing to happen to Wi-Fi in years. While it is great that some manufacturers are pushing the speeds of Wi-Fi further and further, in practice, these speeds are rarely achieved, with performance degradation over distance being severe. It is not an uncommon scenario to get great Wi-Fi in one room…
