A much awaited update because, at a price a priori as competitive as ever, Tenda will now offer those lucky enough to have the fiber to finally enjoy their fabulous Wi-Fi speed throughout the house ...
Tenda Nova MW12: enjoy fiber even over Wi-Fi
Like its predecessors, the new Nova MW12 is a WiFi Mesh system designed for the whole house, in particular for those benefiting from very high speed: the famous fiber! Powered by Tenda Mesh technology, Nova makes it very easy to create a distributed network made up of several nodes - up to 12 now against 9 on MW6 - that you can strategically distribute to cover your entire home with a Wi -Powerful fi.
Nova comes in the form of small cubes of 10 cm wide. His modern and aesthetic design, updated for the occasion, allows it to be placed anywhere in the house without it denoting as is too often the case with conventional routers.
But the most interesting, basically, remains its technical characteristics ...
Nova MW12: Wi-Fi 5 Wave Tri-Band to enjoy fiber everywhere in the house
More powerful hardware
Who says new version, says new hardware! Tenda has chosen to integrate into each of its new Mesh modules a Dual-Core processor of 900 MHz as well as 256MB DDR3 memory in order to offer a AC2100 Tri-Band Wi-Fi able to connect up to 100 devices (120 devices with 3 modules). There is also a new Ethernet interface equipped with 3 Gigabit ports - against two previously - making it possible to exploit the full potential of the fiber by directly connecting devices to it or by creating a Blackhaul Ethernet (ie connect each module in Ethernet).
The big novelty, compared to the New MW6, is mainly due to the addition of a third 5GHz band dedicated to communication between modules. This "Blackhaul Wi-Fi" allows an even better quality of service by eliminating latencies when several devices use a high speed, during video streaming for example. The QoS (Quality of Service) has also been further improved in order to allow multiple simultaneous streamings in 4K, HD or VR games.
Information
Nannnnnnn I just bought the mw6 and I have fiber. I am really constrained at the level of the flow with the mw6?
Yes, of course, as you would be with your box anyway… 😉 The theoretical limit is 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band… But, in concrete terms, you also need the compatible equipment and Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices are not yet commonplace. We are starting to see them on smarthigh-end phones and PCs, otherwise all are still on Wi-Fi 5 and necessarily restrict the speed. 😉
Thank you very much for the reply. I meant in relation to these mw12s but somewhere i know the answer lol now is that it will be really meaningful i am not sure in relation to my use. Netrlix tv etc and still tv I am in ethernet just like my ps4.
There you have it ! In reality, very high speed fiber is underused by the vast majority of users ... 300 Mbps is more than enough for most uses and to navigate very comfortably. In addition, the servers are rare to be able to provide such a speed, so it is they who restrain the thing in the first place. If you are on Ethernet for the two stations which require the most, there is no doubt that you will not be bothered on a daily basis for a few years. 😉
Thank you very much for the reply. I want to support your site so I support, you answer 93% to people and that's really good! Lol
Thank you ! 😀 We try to answer each time, to the best of our knowledge, but it may happen that a comment escapes us. 😉
Hello,
Looking forward to discovering the full test of the new MW12s with the fiber connection.
Thank you
We can't wait for them to come out as well, but no news yet. 🙂
Hello to you, I would like an opinion. I am equipped with fiber at free.
I am in a two-story house and my son cannot get the wifi to play online in his room on the 2nd floor. What do you advise me (impossible for me to pay for the orbi) for a tight budget? I tried the mw2, I get the signal but too low speed to play online….
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
The MW3s should do the trick in theory, have you tried to switch to a bridge world?
Hello, I had hoped to find a test and analysis on the MW12. Do you plan to do one soon?
I would like to know how behaves not the strength of the signal but the stability of the connection.
Thanking you
Hello Thierry,
Yes, it's scheduled for very soon, but we have a few tests to finalize first. 🙂
Have a good day
Hello,
Thank you for your article, it allowed me to discover your site.
I have a question, on a pack of 3, is it possible to have
- Satellite 1 connected to the box in RJ45 + connected in RJ45 to satellite 2
- Satellite 2 connected by RJ45 to satellite 1 + connected by Wifi to satellite 3
- Satellite 3 connected by Wifi to satellite 2
My office (with fiber) is isolated from the rest of the house 🙂
Hello,
Yes, it is quite possible to connect the satellites to each other in RJ45 (there is a specific Ethernet port for that), all then being connected to each other by Wi-Fi (they use a dedicated channel to communicate with each other) ...
Good weekend ! 🙂
