- The Tenda Nova MW5G (2-Pack) is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 AC1200 Whole Home Mesh System engineered for medium-to-large multi-story households. It sits between the entry-level MW3 and premium MW6 systems, operating as a smart repeater network that delivers unified network speeds up to 1.2 Gbps (867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz).
- Unlike the entry-level MW3 which limits you to 100 Mbps ports, the MW5G features Gigabit Ethernet ports to handle high-speed fiber internet plans over 100 Mbps.
Key Technical Specifications
- Wireless Technology: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) dual-band connectivity.
- Network Speed: Up to 1200 Mbps total throughput.
- Device Capacity: Up to 80 connected devices simultaneously without lag.
- Coverage Area: The 2-pack configuration blankets up to 2,500 square feet (approx. 230 square meters).
- Wired Ports: Features 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports total (2 ports on each node) for maximum wired speeds.
Core Features & Functionality
- Wall Penetration Enhancement: Built with two external power amplifiers for each band, paired with Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) and Beamforming technology to blast strong Wi-Fi signals through dense concrete walls. [1, 2, 3]
- Seamless Roaming: Uses standard IEEE 802.11k/v/r protocols. This means your smartphone automatically switches to the closest cube as you walk around without dropping calls or video streams. [1]
- Pre-Paired Out of the Box: The primary and secondary mesh cubes come paired to each other from the factory. You only need to cable the primary unit to your internet provider's modem. [1, 2]
- Network Ecosystem: Fully compatible with all other Tenda Nova models (including the Wi-Fi 6 EM3/MX3 systems, MW3, MW5, and MW6) if you want to expand your coverage later.
- Simple Management: Fully manageable via the Tenda Wi-Fi Mobile App, featuring easy client monitoring, parental access schedules, and secure guest networks
