Features and Range in brick home impressive
2 of 2 found this helpful Tired of having multiple wifi extenders that constantly drop I investigated mesh networks. I needed something that I could put the kids on timeout, prioritize wife's internet traffic and manage everything even offsite.
The OnHub ticked those boxes for me. I bought one to start with and I am super impressed. Previously without the extenders I would get POOR (11Mbps) wifi signal in my bedroom from my main router. With the OnHub (located right next to the main router) signal is EXCELLENT (72Mbps on phone) in my bedroom. My home is an old brick home.
The parental control (time limits, Safe Search) are great features to keep the kids safe. I can prioritize my wife's device when needed (like when kids are streaming). The only feature request I would like is ability to lower certain devices priority (but sure that will still come).
As someone not staying in USA, yes the AC adapter is rated 220v also so all you need is a US to your local plug converter for it to work. The app also does not have any localization limitations.
I read old reviews where people complained about not being able to set DHCP range, DNS or IP address of the device, this is not the case with the latest firmware (that installs automatically when setting up the device).
Would I recommend this product - for someone with beginner or intermediate IT skills and wants something that you can "set and forget" then I would say a definite yes. For someone who wants more control on their router and loves Mikrotek devices, maybe give this one a pass.
For me this has been a great purchase that I definitely do not regret.
