This video of yours is great. It helped me to create a Halo network. Now it is time to add the second Halo thhouat I will move to another part of the house. Thank you!
do not forget to connect them by Ethernet if possible (just plug the wire into them without any settings after the indicators light up white.) then you will not have to put them in a pile, you will win in the coverage area, wi-fi speeds, and your Internet near each will be as fast as at the entrance to the first one.
Do these do any sort of DHCP? I have a PFSense FW doing my DHCP and basically being the central management of my home network with my VM hub in modem mode, i'd like to keep it that way.
hi, very good video, we are looking for a system to boost our current fibre optic system, and it seems to show a descent system, and easy to setup, cheers
Thats what I want to know, I want to connect to a pc I have in my garage for diagnostic software but its about 60 feet away so I want to know if it will get a good decent stable connection.
Hi there, this is a superb video! I bought the HALO H50G mesh wi-fi system and have a question I have a sim modem that feed into the router that goes into a switch so Modem-->Router-->Switch--> Wall socket around the house So my house is fully wired and I want to set the Halo in order to be plugged in the wall socket I have in each of my three floors served by the switch Can you please explain how can I do that? Note, I do not really want to have a different WAN for the WI-FI but rather the same LAN so that I can use the printers already set on the Router LAN with any mobile device (laptop, etc) Can you advice on how to do that? Many thanks
Why are the speeds on both bands faster than halo h70x? I'm really disappointed because that has newer wifi 6 technology and more expensive.. I just bought it yesterday😭😭😭😭😭
Hi mate,i am planning to buy this because internet signal can't reach our room which is weird because the modem is just 12-15meters away but is separated by 2 walls,now my question is,can this improve the signal if i put this system in my house?thanks
Bought these recently to use with sky theyve been a nightmare does anyonr have a clear way to set yp with sky max hub it doesnt have bridge or modem mode sky are a nightmare
It does work with ethernet backhaul, I have this system and use ethernet backhaul and get great results throughout my house. I have three 5g home broadband and get over 500Mbs downloads and around 37Mbs upload speeds the same if I was just connected to the three router. I got the three pack system from Amazon for £74.99
Does this have possibility to use the first device as a repeater to the existing isp router? I mean to keep the already existing router as the dhcp server. I do not want to have 2 ip classes inside my home. I need this as my main router is also a vpn client so it is important that this router remains the dhcp server on the internal network. Thank you for the response and for the upload.
do you have packet loss trough LAN interface (latest firmware does not change anything - same packet loss between 2 and 4%)? i have 3 devices and they all have packet loss (normal ping when there is traffic 6-7megabytes per sec.) between router and computer connected with lan cables (mikrotik>15 meters cable>main halo>5meters cable>PC), but over wifi between 2 devices - all is ok - with same speed download + normal ping simultaneously
hi, i want to use this one with 2.4g. i managed to do on the main cube, but the 2 others is stil on 5g, is there somehow to change the to other cubes to 2.4? i have cameraes on 2.4g hope you can help me.
Can you separate the 2.4 and 5g networks? I've some devices that will not connect to 5g unless they specifically selected to connect to only a 5g network.
most smart device can only connect to 2.4g. What i did is... i turn off 5ghz wifi when i config those smart devices. After all smart devices were configed, I turn 5ghz back on. Then I still have one wifi name and all 2.4ghz devices still work.
How do you access the complete web interface (supposing it exists, ie. to make configuration backup)? Is it possible? SSH is enabled, do you know the user/password?
So one of them needs to be connected to the modem directly? even if the modem has wifi? I assumed that all 3x could be positioned anywhere wirelessly and just tie into the existing modems wifi output etc
can i set a no password option on this Halo Mesh? I am planning to buy 3 of this and put FREE WIFI on public area so I wanted to know if its possible to remove wifi password?
Can i use it with the same wifi name and password??, thus it will connect to the same internet as the router, without making a new wifi name and connection.
Hi, I have ethernet connection all over my apartment, can I plug them to those ports and get a better coverage or they need to conect between then using their wireless connection?
Yes. You configure your Halos as Access Point. I bought these recently and I am very happy. I have them all connected to ethernet ports in multiple places across my property. Very fast.
If i want to use this with Sky router but wish to keep the same network ssid, do i need to disable wifi on the sky router and enable bridge mode on the merucsys?
Ideally if you would like to keep the same ID and password. but depending on the security protocol devices may not auto connect and will still need resetting back up.
to my knowledge no, mesh systems are normally setup on specific channels and IP's so they can talk to each other efficiently, I would check with Mercusys to confirm though
@@julianrantier what is thous benefits exactly? As I know clients does not know nothing about mesh thing, they just select better signal automatically... Or I miss something?

Thanks for this video! Just got this
Please do a tutorial on how to connect 2nd HALO with cable connection.
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Can you use these in addition to your router, to extend your signal or do you need to replace your router?
You need to connect them to your router. So it won’t replace it
Ridiculoys for this product to require an online account to use and configure. Extremely irritating

they can not work as repeater. if 3 items work seperately, they can work as 3 routers or 3 access points (but not as repeaters).
can you setup this mesh system from main router as a bridge mesh system from your main router

Can you separate the 2.4 and 5g networks? I've some devices that will not connect to 5g unless they specifically selected to connect to only a 5g network.
Yes you can set up a guest network with only 5Ghz band enabled.
most smart device can only connect to 2.4g. What i did is... i turn off 5ghz wifi when i config those smart devices. After all smart devices were configed, I turn 5ghz back on. Then I still have one wifi name and all 2.4ghz devices still work.

I assumed that all 3x could be positioned anywhere wirelessly and just tie into the existing modems wifi output etc
one has to be connected to the modem, or another switch in the building that has internet connected, the others do not.
can i set a no password option on this Halo Mesh? I am planning to buy 3 of this and put FREE WIFI on public area so I wanted to know if its possible to remove wifi password?
Yes you can, it is done in the app and in the WiFi settings under security set it to none.
Hi,
Can i add in the same network more than 3-pack ?
guy in this comment section said he connected more than 3 via ethernet cable. check it
According to the Mercusys's tech support, up to 10 devices (total) can be operated in the same network.
Can i use it with the same wifi name and password??, thus it will connect to the same internet as the router, without making a new wifi name and connection.
Hi, I have ethernet connection all over my apartment, can I plug them to those ports and get a better coverage or they need to conect between then using their wireless connection?
good question, I also wondered about that....
any chance someone will answer?

Why in the world no matter what color the device itself - its connection cables/dongles/etc are always of black color?
is it possible to set up this routers with the ip 192.168.... old faschion way ?

no they are not!
I read somewhere that halo h series are not compatible with s series..

it's not wifi 6. what a shame
can disable the dhcp ?

yes, I have 1 as main and a switch with other 4 through backhaul

@@nguyenphuc9284 yes, but they will only behave as a accesspoint(traditional router) and lose the mesh benefits
