Very impressive! Easy setup, fast speeds, looks great
By Randy Yuan on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019
I must say that I am quite impressed with EnGenius EnMesh Wifi setup. I had been a previous advocate of Netgear and their Nighthawk Wifi routers, but the EnGenius has won me over. I am a huge fan! I purchased a 2-pack since I thought that would be enough to cover my 2-story 3 bedroom house and it is working even better than my previous Netgear Nighthawk R7000 + Netgear EX6400 Extender! Pros: -Very quick and easy setup. It's all done through the app with very clear, concise instructions -App is very useful and simple to use! Instead of logging into an IP that everyone can access for network config (i.e. typical 192.168.1.1), one can only access your network's settings through the app and one's self created login/pw. The app allows you to run diagnostics to test the internet speed and speed between your mesh network's APs. Very cool! Also has parental controls for those who need it -Extremely fast speeds! I was getting my expected 450mbps down / 12mbps up from my ISP with the EnGenius which I rarely got with my previous Nighthawk setup. Very impressive -5GHz Auto Channel selection! This I am very impressed with since I have only ever seen this feature for the 2.4GHz band. Now I don't have to do lots of network scans trying to find the least congested 5GHz channel. -Sleek looking routers. They fit in and look very contemporary and just like a smart device -Single LED may seem simple, but it's more than enough. Stays lit white if everything is connected and working properly, blinks red if there is an issue Cons: -Routers are kind of bulky. Whilst they look good, they do take up some space -Routers only have one LAN port. I have some devices which require an ethernet cable connection (i.e. Arlo security hub, Xfinity home security hub) so it would be nice if there were some more LAN ports. I'm currently using an external switch -Doesn't offer the option to separate 2.4GHz from 5GHz band. There is a Guest Wifi SSID that one can setup, but the main Wifi network uses the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Would have been nice if I could have separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands -The included ethernet cable is really short...I had to use one of my longer spare ones to hook up to my modem. Really not many cons about this product. Firmware upgrade went smoothly and no issues. Haven't noticed any network dropout issues either. I HIGHLY recommend this EnGenius Mesh product!

Looked like a great deal, avoid it.

If I could go negative I would. The item comes with a little flier saying use our app. The app does nothing, seriously nothing. There is no other way for setup other then the app. The customer service is non-existent. Will be returning this by EOD.
