Installed a 3 pack in our largish stone house the last time this deal came up. Been waiting for another opportunity to add a couple more nodes.
Very simple setup, even in bridge mode, over the app.

  Can you separate the 5 & 2.4ghz ssids with this model?

    I don't think so. The wireless set up area in the app seems only to provide for security settings.

  would this help get through brick walls?

    More "around" brick walls, you can put them in hallways or even roof cavities and get much better coverage. Basically if they're in line of sight of each other or a ahallow corner you'll likely be ok, but more than that gets dicey. Really depends on the geometry and walls.

    Our house is 300mm to 350mm stone walls. I had to experiment with positioning to get things to bounce around to advantage.

    About 2/3 of the house of > 300m2 has excellent coverage know. Two more nodes should give complete coverage.

    This helped me no end:

    So w5G only has Alexa support apart from that no other difference?

      I believe they both only support Alexa.

      To be honest I couldn't find any differences between the two, even from Tenda website. I reckon they are basically the same.

  Do the secondary nodes need to be in range of the primary? Or can they be in range of another secondary?

  • 

    ArskinF on 26/12/2021 - 12:30

    The manual says within 10m. I found 5m to 8m optimal.

    ED: In my house the primary node is in a front room. The 1st secondary node is halfway town the central hallway in the middle of the house. It's 15m long. The 2nd secondary node is in a room at the back. Distance from it to the primary is ~15m

    They also recommend mounting the secondary nodes high up and even in the middle of the room.

    I noticed that moving secondary nodes away from the walls improved performance.

    The other thing I've noticed the coverage seems to improve over 24 to 48 hours.

  Paid $93 for 3+1 pack recently but can't use it. My existing setup is separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz, something this doesn't support. Not sure if there is a workaround to this otherwise, I have to spend more on a decent one to get this feature.
