Excellent review. It covered any concerns I may have had about installing my new AX5400 system (bought before I became aware of you). Thank you. By the way my friend's brother is also called Eloy, I hadn't come across this name before him. Best regards from Spain.
They are supposed to be able to be connected via ethernet cable (which I beleive is referred to as backhaul), I cannot find any instructions in the manual for this. Is this something you have got working? Very useful video, thankyou.
@@valleyandroidtv3351 Hi, yes i did. You have to connect them directly using ethernet cable, no switches or routers between nodes. However I also found that once a device connected it would not move to the closest node as it is supposed to happen on a mesh network. There are also a number of other features which you cannot access if you don't use the main node as your router. This made them useless to me and I returned them. I now have the Deco X60's which work a lot better, but I am having a few issues with signal strength, but I haven't determined whether this is environmental or an issue with the devices themselves.
Thank you, that is what I thought. Which makes them useless to me also. I have a 24 port switch that wires all my tvs, gaming systems and nodes. Good thing I found a set of Asus Rog GT6 for 200 bucks off. @@MrJono1999
@@dennistheodoropoulos4686 I cannot remember everything but one thing you don't have access to is guest mode when in access point mode. Personally I would not buy these or the Deco X60's, they have strength issues.
From my experience it worked well, I have 3 ax3000s and 2 ax5400s, when I first turned on the ax5400 I connected it to one of the ax3000s with an ethernet cable and it recognized the system right away.
Just in the process of sending this back, it’s utter crap, I’m currently using the old bt whole home discs and have virgin 500gb + coming in the old bt was delivering around 170gb down stairs, I thought I’d treat myself and get the house using more of the 500 available. I set up the Tenda and placed them in key positions all lights green then later I was using my iPad and it was barely opening web pages, did a speed check and at one point I was getting less than 1mb, just to make sure it wasn’t virgin I switched back to bt and instantly got back around 170gb.
@@percymonster1 I had similar issues. These larger units are more headache than the smaller ones. The solution is to go to the Tenda app and split the 2.4/5gHz into separate networks. When they’re joined the WiFi is super unreliable and sometimes just doesn’t work.

Thank you!
do i need to keep the mesh that was used to set up connected to the modem or can i remove it and place it in Diffrent spot
It should stay connected to the modem
Great review, just made a purchase using your amazon link, thanks
Awesome, thank you!
Is possible using mesh with 2 routers backhaul connected by ethernet cable and other router connected by wireless
Mesh vs ordinary routeur? Thanks
It depends on the area you want to Cover
So it is not a mesh? As the nodes all connect as a star to a primary node and not to the closest node in their range, right?

I am having the same issue, did you find a solution

Will this work together with Tenda MW6 nodes?

Can a Connect ax3000 with ax5400?
I didn't try it

Very strange and Tenda China has no solution! Anyway the app is not needed always. I have successfully setup the Tenda.
Appreciate your reply
Thanks for sharing
Are you saying that you can set up tenda via its internal web page ?
I thought you supposed to get 4000 mbs od speed on 5 g?

Does your Tenda Wifi app switch from the English language to Chinese?? It's happening to me and is very annoying!
No it does not switch
