If you’re more focused on value, the Tenda Nova MW3 mesh system isn’t as fast, but delivers decent coverage from three nodes for an absurdly cheap £69. Our favourite all-rounder is the BT Whole Home Wi-Fi kit, which offers great performance for a dual-band extender system, and now costs just £150 for a triple-pack. Within that price range there are plenty of alternatives. As we’ve noted, a box of three can be currently had for £249. If you’re happy with a two-node system, a pair of Eero units works out to £198. Eero Mesh Wifi review: Price and competition It’s configured through a smartphone app and, while it’s not exactly loaded with exciting features, it does include guest network and parental control options. Like most such systems, it’s designed to replace your existing router but if that’s not an option you can use it in bridge mode to extend your wireless network. The Eero Mesh Wifi is a dual-band 802.11ac mesh extender system.

If you want to make use of the Eero’s mesh capabilities you’ll need to buy multiple units, or splash out on a three-pack for £249. Although you wouldn’t immediately know it from the branding, the company is owned by Amazon, and you’ll find currently the whole family of Eero gear on the retail giant’s site at prices starting at £99.īefore you get too excited, though, note that this only gets you a single Eero node, which functions as a standalone router. Eero has been producing wireless extender hardware in the US for the past few years, and now its latest mesh system has finally come to the UK.
