Tenda Nova MW12 Mesh WiFi Setup and base configuration walkthrough

[@sneakersxsosa1492]

You saved me with that smart assistant setting. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to change to 2.4Ghz. Thank you

[@yetiyetiyeti102]

Thank you - I used your video to set up my Tenda Nova MW12 Mesh, and it works so well and took 10 mins. The setup booklet that comes in the box, is very slim. Now we have excellent wi fi around the house.

Hi there. I have just purchased the same kit. Cheers for the wall through it was very good. Could I ask if I have to leave the master node connected to the router or can I move it to another part of the house?

[@edlabine4691]

Great tutorial. I was having issues switching to the secondary hubs. Putting it into Bridge mode solved the issue. Many thanks!

[@Ringoh]

Thanks for the video it was very useful. Can I ask, if I have a VM Hub in modem mode do I connect directly to the first node from the hub using an Ethernet cable or do I connect the Hub to a router and then connect the router to the node? Thanks

[@tropicaltanklover2160]

I have just started to re-use mw12 as spouse has redecorated house and prefers look of Tenda over the better spec AI Mesh Asus CT8s 😳 I have FTTP (1000/115) and use them in bridge mode as you mention 👍🏿 They are slower than Asus and lack customisable features of Asus. What they are, is steady and reliable. I can't recall you mentioning, but I think it is important to note Tenda has no firewall.

[@TheSnozwangler]

Would this set up work with a starlink router etc. Cheers.

[@Pennicito]

Not sure if I missed this, if these are set as bridge mode, will the wifi from my original internet provider gateway still be broadcasting? I'm used to setting my internet provider as the bridge and the mesh running the show.

[@writtenwordpro]

Thanks so much for the help. It made the installation at my home seemless!

[@raypeet5777]

Hi, Great Video, Just one Question, its about the Nova Mw6 maintenance Shedule. How do I know its working? Because I've set to activate.. ie at 10am to activate at 11:30am and for the life of me I can't see it reboot or do anything at that set time. Apart from that I'm loving this System.

[@ayden7241]

I have ethernet cables running through my entire house, so can I use the LAN ports on the secondary access points instead of the wifi connecting the primary novas to the secondary novas for a faster connection?

[@Jetherz]

Hey is it possible to use the Ethernet port on the Secondary Novas? Like I have a desktop with no wifi (and those dongles are slow). So is it possible to have this kind of Setup: Router > Main Nova Secondary Nova > Lan Cable Desktop?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes you can

[@TeamOR-w5k]

Have you applied this setting? After I did this, I wanted to access from my desktop the other PCs but I don't know how to set it. Do you somehow know? Thanks!

[@giorgiostramaroni4668]

I probably got the MW12 or the MW6 but sir, please tell me, is it possible to remove the option of my router automatically rebooting making me lose connection for a quite long time?

[@AbbasAli-re9tl]

Excellent video, how can i disable 2.4G wifi ?

[@kristinepalafox3791]

Hello. Can you help please. I get stuck at the network detection part. It doesn't push through the next stage which is naming the WiFi. I've been trying this for hours and nothings working.

[@robertbantock5492]

Did you get a solution for this as i seem to be stuck n the same place?

[@kristinepalafox3791]

Hello@@robertbantock5492 I did not find a way around this. My solution was to return the item back to Amazon and get a full refund.

[@francocutroneo6978]

Why I don't connect automatically to different mesh stations? I can see three networks with same name and have to connect manually

[@electechyt]

Is there anyway to connect by Laptop to turn on WPS? Need to setup a printer

[@rokketron]

Mine doesn't have an option for "Bridge mode"

[@Emre-kk4no]

Is it possible to add rx9 pro to this?

[@umarkhattab1633]

Hi mate I have Nova MW6 just a question about the internet setting. I have a Virgin Media hub 5 should I leave it as DHCP or change it to Bridge mode. I’m not sure if my hub is already in modem mode

[@MrMat43211]

no anything from any isp will normally not be in modern mode, for the virgin media hub 5 you can change it to modern mode or call virgin media to put it in modern mode while you do that ask them for you pppoe username and password. as for if you if you don't own any game console or play games on your pc then leave it as dhcp to make your life easier if you do have any game consoles or play multiplayer games on your pc/laptop then put it in bridge mode or better yet call virgin put the virgin MH5 in modern mode and set the MW6 in pppoe and set you qos speeds to be 1mbps of your speed test at peak hours

[@umarkhattab1633]

Just to clarify ring VM ask them to put the hub in modem mode nd leave it running in DHCP settings. When I get the PPPOE username and password do I use that to set up the wireless setting not sure what to do with the PPPOE username nd password?

[@findingbliss4me]

Awesome. Thank you!!!

[@richardmckenzie-baird6528]

Everytime i change the wireless name etc it keeps then saying it cant find the device. Any help?

[@andresquinto710]

so useful thx!!

[@SakibZ94]

I’ve set up the nova with 1 secondary. The 3rd nova isn’t connecting to the primary? I’ve tried to reset it but the light still stays on green.. can’t seem to get it to blink and then connect via the mesh button on ? Does anyone what to do?

[@antonioPaulino]

Would have been useful to see what speeds you get when the units have been placed around the house. Next to each other is a bit of a useless test?!

[@dannyrozados]

You can turn off the WiFi 2.4 and use the tenda nova

[@Griff6784]

My sodding Novas keep saying "failed to connect to nova". Finding it most frustrating.

[@aliboom6876]

I had this issue. Try resetting the node using a pin on the little hole. That seemed to work for me.

[@Griff6784]

@aliboom6876 in the end I've wired my mesh system up, every single node is eth linked with cat6. Works great now.

[@toffee1889]

Bloody useless. Had to return it.

[@mark39ful]

😝😝

[@jamesallman-tq5sn]

Dude get rid of this. They have a backdoor which can be hacked. I’ve been hacked and had to replace my main router because of it.

[@toffee1889]

Excellent video, thanks . Just bought this system.
