Fantastic Purchase - Made a huge difference
I'll start by saying I never leave reviews, but sometimes you buy something and just have to...1 - SetupSetup was a breeze, download the app, grab one of the units that you'll use as the main device and select which mode you want to use (I opted to completely replace my router and use the 'main' halo as the router).You're guided through the process and are asked if you want automatic or manual setup. I first tried manual which I'll be honest I couldn't get to work, when selecting automatic I waited about 10 minutes and boom first halo up and running. Get any additional units, place them strategically and again use the guided process to link each unit together. All up and running in about 30 mins.2 - The appI actually don't quite understand some of the poor reviews stating the app being a limitation. Yes, you can't quite do EVERYTHING you could if you had a web portal like some of the more expensive units. I work in technology (and have worked specifically in a networking capacity) and I honestly couldn't tell you what 99% of users would need that the app doesn't offer. Port forwarding / QoS / priority etc etc can all be done via the app.It also notifies you of any new connections, allows you to name and categorise the devices (great for younguns whom you may want to restrict certain websites from). And you're able to setup 'profiles' for each person so that those profiles are applied to the devices they add.At first, my main PC was dropping (very occasionally), go into the app, select the device and then bind it to the strongest unit (rather than using the roaming capabilitis) and its been absolutely rock solid ever since.Also, the 'network optimisation' function is great too, I've only used it once but it found a really good channel (verified via inSSIDer) and I'm on a quiet channel with little interferance.3 - Stability / SpeedI've had this now for about 8 weeks and I've not had a single problem with it. I've seen in some other reviews they've had to reboot a unit or 2 etc but (whilst I know its early days) I literally haven't had to touch it since setup. Its been absolutely fantastic from the day I installed it. I'm an avid gamer and with my previous setup I'd have the odd disconnect (only breifly) and some games just don't deal with that well. One of my favourite games did this and I'd have to log out/back in again multiple times per night (not good with the type of game played). This setup has COMPLETELY illimintated that and has also reduced my average ping by about 12 (now sitting at 7ms ping on almost all games).Speed wise, from the further point in the house I can get from any of the units, I lose about 10% and no more. My provider gives me 300up/300down and again at the furthest point I get 275/260.4 - Conclusion For the price paid for these units (I got the pack of 2), at the price of purchase £59.99 they're probably one of the best networking kit I've purchased. Replacing a £300 'WiFi 6' router, these absolutely smoke it out of the park. PC's/Laptops/Phones/Gaming/Downloads have all performed significantly better on these than the previous, much more expensive router I honestly wished I'd tried these much sooner.Finally, downloading/streaming etc on multiple devices all at once this kit doesn't miss a beat. Previously if we had guests round all doing their own thing we'd see some speed drops and inconsistencies. With this, everything I've thrown at it so far no matter what you're doing it just handles it, no questions asked.If you're on the fence about mesh, or even considering a new router I'd honestly suggest giving these a try. They're owned / operated by TP-Link as their 'consumer' focused brand, but honestly they outperform everything I've tried so far (AP points/extenders/very expensive routers) and I'd have no problem purchasing Mercusys again.Fantastic piece of kit and I'd buy it again no question.

Easy Set Up, Works Really Well
Bought this for my bungalow as my VM router wifi doesn't reach the other end of the bungalow 18 metres away.Great value. No need to spend more on other more expensive brands.Small in size and unobtrusive.Easy to follow setting up instructions on the app. After positioning and setting up, switched my VM router from router to modem mode and renamed the Halo wifi and password to the same as the VM router to save having to change the passwords on all our devices.This Halo system works much much better than the VM router with no drop outa and the added bonus that speeds are no longer throttled back. My Internet speed is now more than what I pay for and wifi strength, stability and coverage is excellent throughout the house and even accessible in the front and back gardens.I highly recommend.

Great system
The setup was a little confusing at first this was gor two reasons:1. There is no easy setup guide included in the box.2. Setup has to be done by means of an app you download from Apple/Google. mFirstly, about the App setup instructions:In my view, the setup instructions were devoloped by people familiar with the system and probably had little or no user testing conducted before release. There are gaps in the FAQ that can only be addressed by performing user testing that would address this gap.Three questions I had include:1 Do I remove my router/modem entirely and use the halo as the router/modem OR do I connect it directly to the router/modem via a rj45 cable? The answer is: Connect it to the existing modem/router via the supplied RJ45 cable.2. How do I add additional halos if I set up one initially? Answer: exit out of the app completely after installation of the main halo. Then open the app again. When it has found your main halo, it will give you the option to add additional halos.3. Can I use the same SSID as the router/modem SSID? The answer: I don't know. I was reluctant to use the same name for both the halo and my modem/router in case it caused problems. There is nothing in the FAQ to help answer this.Secondly, about the App after completion of the setup:The app is great. It has a lot of very easy-to-use features including robust parental controls, who is connected to the system, and a host other security and enhancement features that you won't find on your standard issue modem/router.Finally, the system itself:It is excellent. I installed three units: one in the living room, another in the kitchen, and the third on the upstairs landing. There is excellent coverage throughout the house. There are no more blind spots.Would I recommend? Absolutely. The only issue is with some questions around initial setup that I think should be addressed in the FAQ.

Improve your WiFi signal
All things considered, anyone trying to improve the WiFi coverage in their house will find the Mercusys AC1900 Mesh WiFi system to be dependable and reasonably priced. For most users, it provides enough features, good performance, and a simple setup approach. The Mercusys AC1900 is most certainly worth looking at if you're looking for a reasonably priced approach to remove WiFi dead zones. The item has definitely improved my WiFi signal compared to my standard router signal by almost an extra 200 MB download speed. Highly recommended over WiFi extenders.

Great System, much stronger signal
Linked master unit to my router, then connected two other units, the wi-fi in our house has so improved with a much stronger signal, was easy to set up if you follow the instructions, add the app to your mobile phone first.

ممتاز جدا، أخذت قطعتين مناسبين لشقة متوسطة الى كبيرة، يجب ان يتم توصيل واحد على الأقل بكيبل ايثرنت على الراوتر الرئيسي والثاني يشبك على الأول اما عن طريق الواي فاي او كيبل.السرعه جدا ممتازة كما في الوصف تماما.التطبيق سهل الإعداد وتوجد فيه خيارات كثيره واحصائيات الاستخدام ومنها يمكن أيضا تحديد سرعه محدده لكل جهاز او فصل الانترنت عن جهاز بشكل كامل او لوقت محدد، فيه خيارات كثيره.السعر والجوده جدا ممتازين، انصح به.

Good performance and easy setup
Setup is very easy using Mercusys official mobile app. All works at first time. Performance is good. I particularly improved the speed x3 in my second floor. The mobile app shows very useful information, and lets you configure interesting things.
