All gone. Looks like standard price is R2,299. Online reviews look great and seems to beat the TP-Link Deco M3.Can't vouch for this product but a mesh wifi system 3-pack for R999 sounds worth a go - today only on TAL

Finally got it delivered. Looks like it got crushed by some other heavy parcels but came to R3248.40 total.

Oh damn, hopefully all is good still! Never received a parcel from Amazon in that state.
Single packs are on Daily Deal now at R399 each. Bought a few more (wanted another of the 3-packs but missed it). Great deal considering the coverage, performance and 3x Gigabit ports (let’s be honest, AC1200 is more than enough for most people).Can't vouch for this product but a mesh wifi system 3-pack for R999 sounds worth a go - today only on TAL

You will need a dozen of these if you want "good" coverage if it extends into a granny flat.

Anybody seen some specials for Xbox One controllers?
Are you referring to mesh in general, or these specific Vilo units?
I suspect it may be the latter, but perhaps I'm wrong. How come, do you have experience with them or have you read reviews where coverage was not good? Just not confident in off-brands?
I have a good amount of mesh experience, with TP-Link, Tenda and Reyee.
On paper, these Vilos have 4x antennas: 6dB for 2.4GHz and 5dB for 5GHz which seems all good and well. And a maximum TX of 21dBm. 2x2 MU-MIMO, beamforming, band-steering, etc.
Not sure what Decos tend to have antenna-wise, but the S4's (and even X10's) have 2x antennas with a maximum TX (for 2.4GHz) of 20dBm for the S4.
So on paper, I would say the Vilos are as good, coverage-wise?
My granny flat is cabled, so will use Ethernet backhaul. Assuming the Vilos support it.
One marketing coverage difference I see is that a Deco M4 covers up to 140m2, where the Vilo covers up to 120m2. So we shall see!Are you referring to mesh in general, or these specific Vilo units?

Wireless Mesh Systems
Thinking of upgrading my home wifi to a mesh system, so got a few questions to the fundi's 1. Which wifi mesh system? Ease of use and network safety is my key priorities 2. Wootware as a two pack TP-Link M4 AC1200 for sale at R2070 per pack, can I buy 2 packs and combine them? The 3 pack is...

My last post for now. Compared to the below Tenda Nova and Nova Lite, the Vilos are significantly better on paper.

Seems AMD's not the only thing crushing Intel these days. Bloody hell.
Was the outer box as badly damaged? It looks like a fold on the right but I can't say for certain.
Yeah. All the air packaging bubbles inside were popped also.

Post 12 within the link of post 11373 in this thread provides reasons why I made that statement. Your mbs speed will be interferred with more because of layout and structure of your home. In your instance, you have the granny flat on lan, so it sort of solves your problem. So, in essence, it depends....Are you referring to mesh in general, or these specific Vilo units?

Seems I also need a SATA to USB-C adaptor for a DVD-Rw drive. [mention]Progenix Oj101 [/mention] anything you’d recommend?
The person you refer to knows a few technical aspects however I’m often left questioning their real world (vs paper) experience as mine differs to theirs, for example I’ve successfully used range extenders many times which they deem the spawn of Satan, and used mesh systems through walls and slabs with great results, etc. All depends but echoing their views and merely commenting on a granny flat would make it seem others’ experiences at successful WiFi networking aren’t possible.
Anyway currently playing with the Vilos which I’ll feed back on in the link within post 11373…

Was sent over from US for testing as they didn't have a local supplier yet.
Impressive & works great, but the company has done quite a bit of restructuring.
Most of the main support/developers driving updates have left.
It's been about 6 months & looks like things have just stalled at Vilo.
Was a promising product.
