They've fixed this with latest FW release. It's not an issue anymore and work great. Just wish everyone stop banging on about it!
Oh that's nice. Was considering getting this on last deals but concerned about security
Comments on this deal said updates fixes security for mw3 and mw5

which can be easily hacked
Nobody has hacked mine.
It must be that bold text.
I don't think most hackers try password combinations with bold… Not yet anyway…
Is this like an access point for a router or is this made as a router it's self.
Tenda Nova MW3 is a router itself. It can be used as an access point if your prefer.
So….can this be used in addition to the existing wifi network that doesn't quite cover the house? Or do you basically turn off the wifi on the modem?
Turn off the modems Wi-Fi or remove the modem. Check that your ISP doesn't require the router to support VLAN 802.1q.
FTTN & FTTB = VDSL2 modem/router AIO or VDSL2 modem + Tenda Nova MW3 Router.
FTTP & HFC = NBN NTD + Tenda Nova MW3 Router.
FTTC = NBN NCD + Tenda Nova MW3 Router.You can run it in bridge mode to extend your wifi, but would need to use a separate SSID so wont work like a mesh with the old router (so you may as well just turn off your wifi on your main router).
I have mine connected to the router in bridge mode with the main routers wifi off (effectively using it as a switch as i have ethernet running to PC's, TV etc). Helped fill in some blackspots for rooms that didn't have ethernet.
Very basic router, does not have any advanced settings but perfect for a basic home setup to extend your range and internet browsing etc. Mine has been flawless. Just note that it only has a 100 megabit Ethernet connection so if you are connecting the second port directly to your PC, or you have >NBN100 it will limit your speed. Wireless to wireless can be quicker.
a good size for an apartment
That depends on the size and configuration of your apartment.
Just be aware this model has security concerns
Can only set to TKIP and not AES which can be easily hacked
