Tenda Nova MW6 Setup FAQ

Q.1 How many Tenda Nova MW6 units do I need to cover my entire home?

Ans. Each Tenda Nova MW6 unit covers roughly 2000 square feet. A two-pack covers up to 4000 square feet which is enough for most medium to large homes. For larger homes or spaces with thick concrete walls, a three-pack is recommended for reliable coverage in every room. Place the primary node near your modem and position the secondary nodes halfway between the primary node and the dead zone areas. The Tenda WiFi app shows signal strength for each node so you can adjust placement until you get solid coverage everywhere.

Q.2 Can I use Tenda Nova MW6 with my existing ISP modem router combo?

Ans. Yes, you can use the Tenda Nova MW6 with your ISP modem router combo device. Connect the primary Nova MW6 node to your ISP device using the ethernet cable that comes in the box. Plug one end into the WAN port on the Nova and the other end into any LAN port on your ISP modem router. During setup through the Tenda WiFi app, select DHCP as the connection type so the Nova gets its IP address from your ISP device. For best results, disable the WiFi on your ISP modem router after setup so you only use the Nova mesh WiFi and avoid signal conflicts between the two devices.
