Package of 3 Halo 50 devices. Extremely simple installation. Very good coverage on 3 floors totaling 210m2. From the 100Mbps provided by the ISP router, I measure 90-95mbps in all rooms on all floors. Even outside in the front and back garden, it gives a clear 60-75mbps at a distance of 10m from the building. So far, I have about 30+ devices connected without any issues. The 5ghz coverage, unlike ISP routers, is everywhere.
An excellent solution for a basic home network, it provides a very good background for setting up Apple HomeKit. It combines two bands (2.4ghz & 5ghz) on the same SSID, and devices that can connect automatically prefer the 5ghz band and have very good speeds. The HomePod minis (3x) we have connect to the 5ghz as well as all the iPhones. The Apple HomeKit and all the smart devices I have on it do not disconnect at all! 5 WiFi cameras from Eufy in the outdoor area surrounding the house without any disconnections!
The app is not for professionals but offers excellent options for home use (device prioritization, parental controls for devices, Guest network (2.4ghz & 5ghz) as well as a very good network optimization tool).
For testing, I unplugged one Halo at a time and no device ever "dropped," it automatically transfers to the other two. Also, you move around effortlessly without realizing when it switches you to the Halo that serves you better each time.
Summary: excellent value for money package for home use, very good coverage and network stability. The switch from extenders/repeaters to mesh alone is enough to impress you (like night and day), excellent speed, stability, reliability.
Update 30/01/2025:
A couple of weeks ago bought a set of 2x more HALO H50Gs.
Now I have a total of 5x HALO H50Gs, and they provide a very good coverage in 3 stories building.
3x HALO H50Gs are installed in Groundfloor (Master next to Router via ethernet cable, the other 2x in medium distance to provide mesh sphaerical coverage in areas.
1x HALO H50G is installed in Basement, (toughest area without HALOs) and the coverage is equal to any other area.
1x HALO H50G is installed in 1st Floor where the majority of devices are.
So far only issue I cannot fully resolve is a medium signal indication from Master HALO to 1st floor, but that does not seem to affect coverage at all.
