MERCUSYS Halo H50G(3-pack) AC1900Mbps Mesh WiFi System, Gigabit Ports, TP-Link WiFi Mesh System, WiFi Router, WiFi Extender Booster, 6,000ft²(550 m²), Seamless Roaming, Beamforming, Easy Setup

I'll start by saying I never leave reviews, but sometimes you buy something and just have to...1 - SetupSetup was a breeze, download the app, grab one of the units that you'll use as the main device and select which mode you want to use (I opted to completely replace my router and use the 'main' halo as the router).You're guided through the process and are asked if you want automatic or manual setup. I first tried manual which I'll be honest I couldn't get to work, when selecting automatic I waited about 10 minutes and boom first halo up and running. Get any additional units, place them strategically and again use the guided process to link each unit together. All up and running in about 30 mins.2 - The appI actually don't quite understand some of the poor reviews stating the app being a limitation. Yes, you can't quite do EVERYTHING you could if you had a web portal like some of the more expensive units. I work in technology (and have worked specifically in a networking capacity) and I honestly couldn't tell you what 99% of users would need that the app doesn't offer. Port forwarding / QoS / priority etc etc can all be done via the app.It also notifies you of any new connections, allows you to name and categorise the devices (great for younguns whom you may want to restrict certain websites from). And you're able to setup 'profiles' for each person so that those profiles are applied to the devices they add.At first, my main PC was dropping (very occasionally), go into the app, select the device and then bind it to the strongest unit (rather than using the roaming capabilitis) and its been absolutely rock solid ever since.Also, the 'network optimisation' function is great too, I've only used it once but it found a really good channel (verified via inSSIDer) and I'm on a quiet channel with little interferance.3 - Stability / SpeedI've had this now for about 8 weeks and I've not had a single problem with it. I've seen in some other reviews they've had to reboot a unit or 2 etc but (whilst I know its early days) I literally haven't had to touch it since setup. Its been absolutely fantastic from the day I installed it. I'm an avid gamer and with my previous setup I'd have the odd disconnect (only breifly) and some games just don't deal with that well. One of my favourite games did this and I'd have to log out/back in again multiple times per night (not good with the type of game played). This setup has COMPLETELY illimintated that and has also reduced my average ping by about 12 (now sitting at 7ms ping on almost all games).Speed wise, from the further point in the house I can get from any of the units, I lose about 10% and no more. My provider gives me 300up/300down and again at the furthest point I get 275/260.4 - ConclusionFor the price paid for these units (I got the pack of 2), at the price of purchase £59.99 they're probably one of the best networking kit I've purchased. Replacing a £300 'WiFi 6' router, these absolutely smoke it out of the park. PC's/Laptops/Phones/Gaming/Downloads have all performed significantly better on these than the previous, much more expensive router I honestly wished I'd tried these much sooner.Finally, downloading/streaming etc on multiple devices all at once this kit doesn't miss a beat. Previously if we had guests round all doing their own thing we'd see some speed drops and inconsistencies. With this, everything I've thrown at it so far no matter what you're doing it just handles it, no questions asked.If you're on the fence about mesh, or even considering a new router I'd honestly suggest giving these a try. They're owned / operated by TP-Link as their 'consumer' focused brand, but honestly they outperform everything I've tried so far (AP points/extenders/very expensive routers) and I'd have no problem purchasing Mercusys again.Fantastic piece of kit and I'd buy it again no question.

For the past 10 years iv always had virgin media broadband and the wifi has always been terrible. Iv used various signal extenders and third party routers to try and better it at significant cost to myself. Nothing has really worked until i found these. Im led to believe they are made by tp-link so the quality is good.Setup was really easy and i now have coverage all over the house, even at the bottom of the garden. I get the full 250mbps everywhere!The app works very well and you can control individual items (boosting or blocking), if something new joins it tells you via notification.One big plus for me is that im moving to a bigger house next month, so i will take these with me and buy another node for better coverage of the wifi.Iv already recommended these to family and they all love them too!

Ive spent 2 days setting this up. On day 1 I set up a Halo network based on the sequence of operations on the App, which worked fine but it wanted to work as a router. This was ok but my existing router network uses around 18 smart devices including bulbs, switches, thermostats, Alexas Roku devices and printers. I decided to use a separate Halo network name and SSID and password.It seems that these all need to be accessible around the house, and so I could either switch them individually to my Halo network or change the network to use the existing router as an access point. and set the Halo Network to the same SSID and password as my routers Network. The idea being that The router would handle IP addressing, and the Smart devices should just appear on the Halo network.On Day 2, I changed the Halo net name to my Routers SSID and Password. (easy) Then set the Halo net to work as an Access point (also easy - via the Mercury's App). Then optimised the network - again on the app.There was some conflict going on between the router Wifi and the Halo Wifi so I turned off the Router Wifi.Now I have 12 devices showing as online on the app. the other 6 devices show as offline.2 are actually offline but 4 are not - These 4 are smart switches , and fortunately they work fine via both the smart life App and via Alexa. It's just that they show as offline on the Halo network. Not sure why . FAQ and the online manual don't help with this issue. I guess I need to try out their Tech support. Another issue is that my wifi printer is too old (10 years - Epson BX525WD) to connect to the Halo Network - :^((. It keeps showing Network connect fail incompatible wifi.So Im quite happy with the system. I could use a couple more Halo units to cover our conservatory and hopefully the garage, but will get used to the current system first.Pros: easy to setup. Works well once configured correctly. The Phone App is really good.Cons: range less than expected. Detailed configuration is complex. Interaction with existing wifi has conflicts.My biggest ask:It would help to have a setup manual or at least FAQs for how to apply to a smart device network.Pics :1 - Connecting the main halo to a router.2- The halo running after closing down the router wifi.3- Main halo with some clients inc Smart Thermostat.Update after 1 month Use:1. Upgraded 3 to 4 stars2. Very reliable wifi at a min speed so far of 300 mbs (the more clients the lower the speed)3. Printer working in the mesh by connecting it to a Halo in my upstairs office - working really quickly.4. IoT smart switches seem to show as online if they are in a line of sight from a hub rather than behind objects. In the main they still work even if showing offline in the app.5. Now planning to extend the mesh with a couple extra Halos
