  FYI: They are AC1200 routers.

  If this covers 140 square metres each node, does that mean they can be a maximum of 12 metres apart? Is that normal for mesh routers, or are there options that would range further?

    It is just a very rough guideline. Can be much further with a clear path, but speed drops.

    But $77. Fine if you are primarily using internet instead of local traffic.

      This 👆 I get 700Mbps download on my HFC 1G service. Identical to cabled. I have about 30 devices on the wifi.

      Can you elaborate? Do you mean it's fine for home smartphones, laptops, PC accessing the Internet but more of a concern if you have multiple devices having to talk to each other locally?

        Nearly every NBN connection in Australia runs at less than 100mbps. That speed is lower than what these devices support, so they won’t be a bottleneck.
        Some people have home servers for their video library or other complex setups where high bandwidth is needed between different computers in the home.
        If you have a complex setup needing high internal bandwidth, you will be aware of the limitations of this generation of devices, and may choose to spend five times more because you need it.

        If you just go online, stream Netflix, play online games etc, this is likely all that is necessary.
        I have a similar system at my place and it allows us to use all of our NBN speed, and is also fine for streaming 4k video from a server to the TV.

        My usual plan is to buy inexpensive systems like this unless I definitely need to spend more, because by the time I am likely to actually need higher performance, those systems will by then be the cheap ones.

          @mskeggs: Awesome that makes sense, I'm on FTTB so 100Mbps is all I can hit anyways. How would the Nokias compare to this though: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CLQLT6RL/?coliid=I31RWORU0UMY…

          Noting I live in a 2br apartment so don't really need a 3 pack

            @penguinswillrise: I had an earlier version of the Tenda nova and it was great.
            There is a comment below that has a user who had a bad experience with the Nokia, so I would look for other reviews about it.

            As a general comment, I like the flexibility of a 3 pack, as traffic at any node has two paths to the others, so if there is intermittent issues (e.g. a microwave oven in use or something) it is more reliable.

            In any case, I think around $80 is a cheap enough price point to try it out, especially if there are locations in your apartment with poor existing reception.
