Is Rated #1 On Most Online Sites For A Reason
I am a civil engineer so I tend to over-do it when I want to buy something. Especially when it is something technical such as this mesh system that I really know very little about. So I always go online and read google reviews, search for Best Rated Mesh Systems, etc., so I can get the pros and cons of each item out there for sale, no matter what I am buying. Just about everyone is raving about Netgears Orbi Mesh and Google Nest Mesh. Both do not have great ratings for many reasons including privacy issues, set up issues, limited home square feet issues, and having to reset them constantly to work. The one that kept popping up on every rating search site was the Meshforce M7 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (3 Pack), which I have to be honest, I had NEVER heard of them before. It was priced right, easy to set up and worked the first time right out of the box, which NEVER happens for me when buying something like this. EVER! I have Spectrum 1 gig service at my home and when you get Spectrum 1 gig, they supply the modem and router. The router is of very poor quality and even the Spectrum Techs coming to my home told me so because I installed a Ring system with cameras around my home, and the router could not send it enough wifi signal to power them properly. Without a proper wifi signal, the cameras show nothing and are usually a 'black' screen; and they rarely ever alert me when there is movement at each camera. Plus, just so you know, Spectrum 1 gig is really only around 650 mbps and not 1 gig. I am hard wired and never got any better than that, yet the payment part each month for the 1 gig worked just fine. So after talking with the Spectrum Tech at my home trying to resolve my lack of strong wifi, it was suggested I go with a mesh and even this tech mentioned Meshforce M7 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System. He told me to downgrade my Spectrum internet from 1 gig to the next lowest signal of 400 mbps and turn in the router as it is not free with the lower service, but the modem still is. I did just that over the phone with Spectrum and they sent a signal to my modem to stop the 1 gig and even after that, I get 455 mbps. More than I am paying for and not far less than what I was supposed to get with the 1 gig. And with the savings of $60 per month plus tax, it pays for this new Meshforce M7 system in 4 months. Now the system is installed and my Ring system works perfectly with 3 times the wifi power that I had before as Ring allows you to see the wifi network signal power coming to each device. Why anyone has any other mesh system is beyond comprehension. My guess is people buy the big names that spend a fortune on advertising. None of them can compare to this system. Go online and look like I did. Or ask your Spectrum tech next time they are at your home. Oh yes, one more thing. The Spectrum tech told me that Netgear Orbi has had continuity issues with Spectrum service. Netgear is supposed to be working on this, but that is not a good sign.
