A simple plug-in and forget WiFi system
Overall This has been a pretty amazing product. It’s simple to setup and requires little to no maintenance from the end user. It’s a good, and “cheaper”, WiFi system than all of its name brand competitors. A good system for the less tech savvy-parents, grandparents or anyone looking for something with a less hands on approach. But first, for the sake of clarification, as I despise making any mention of competitor products or brands, I feel it is necessary in this case to further elaborate on some of its shortcomings I’ll mention further down. I have an existing 3 puck ubiquity WiFi system mounted to walls, ceilings or outside of the house making it time consuming to remove/disconnect. This makes for an environment that isn’t ideal for another WiFi system to be tested in. With that out of the way lets dive right in. Features Motorola offers some solid features with their mesh WiFi. For starters, you get a neat and simple to understand dashboard that allows for several admin settings right from the dashboard. First, there’s an active list of currently connected devices. Clicking a device shows a recent history of services that device has connected to. You have security settings, which to be fair doesn’t give you much in terms of customization, just a green bar showing the numbers of threats it is looking out for. If a threat is found; Trojans, virus, etc. The green circle shifts to red which is clearly visible from the dashboard. A simple network filter with 3 toggles for filtering of known malicious sites, ad privacy filters, and an adult filter for adult oriented websites. For health of the network, there’s a simple to read connection manager showing the current status of the network. 6 individual check mark bubbles highlighting games, web, music, HD, SD, and 4K. I can only assume, as I haven’t experienced issues, that if you had a significant speed drop some of those bubbles will become red with an X. Digging further deeper into the app you got your profiles settings, which I will add isn’t a part of the dashboard but a tab at the bottom of the screen. Setting up profiles gives you the ability to set time limits, schedules, or the aforementioned content filters (if you didn’t wish to apply those to the entire network but specific profiles). A little more hidden under the settings tab, usually settings that the average user won’t ever have to mess with. You got your port forwarding and upnp. But a little less common, and mostly exclusive to mesh systems, you got your auto optimization network settings that allows the toggle of a general location where this will be installed. The options range from “single occupant home” with a subtext that reads “few neighboring networks”, “Townhome” with “some WiFi networks”, and “apartment” with “many WiFi networks”. Basically these should tweek things such as channel width, beamforming, and transmit power but in a simple human readable format. Without having to look up the definition for every setting and having to trial and error every possible combination to find something that works for you. Although I couldn’t find any documentation about this so my assumption can be off by a bit. Cons - Features I don’t normally break these down per section but for this it seems more appropriate to detail any issues relating to the subject. It may be a fluke but during my testing I couldn’t get the network filters to function correctly. After enabling all toggles, I attempted to visit an adult page and nothing prevented my visit. Adding my phone into a profile, I enabled the toggles for that profile and tried again. Once again, nothing prevented my visit. It’s worth mentioning, during setup, I used a network switch at the top of my network topology. But shortly after getting things working it failed resulting in only 1 port having connection access. I then had to daisy-chain it to my existing network, which put a pfsense gateway at the top. It’s entirely possible my existing setup is applying a filter on the stream. Going to a certain adult orientated website showed nothing in the history logs of the Motorola. But just like my history screenshot, other sites show up just fine. Design It’s a simple design, round and fairly small, roughly the size of a hand but about 2 inches tall. 2 Ethernet jacks on the back of each puck, which act as WAN and LAN. Any of the bridge pucks will result in 2 LAN jacks so you won’t lose any because of the picture at the base of the port. A type C USB port between the 2 and a pinhole reset button to the left. It’s simple and has a subtle design that won’t stick out like a sore thumb if you cannot hide it out of sight. Performance I can’t say this area was perfect but it did well enough. Using the onboard speed test on the puck it said I was getting what the pipeline was set for. Give or take 50mbps per test. Testing from my phone through any network speed testing site gave about the same result. Any browsing or streams I tried to run through it worked perfectly well. After finalizing my thoughts, I did a survey and something seemed to be a general consensus between everyone else. These faced a slight performance drop. Nothing I can say I witnessed, but aside from my current WiFi system, I have nothing else to test against. Cons - Performance Although I mentioned it worked well enough for me, one thing that soured me was a significant range issue. As mentioned at the very start, I couldn’t test 1 system at a time by shutting it off and testing so I placed the Motorola pucks in different rooms trying to separate them from my current WiFi. That resulted in a fairly short range. The packaging rates these as good for up to a 4500 sqft area. But in a 1800 sqft location, these had significant range issues. One of the most noticeable locations I did a comparison was the backyard, where I do not have any exterior mounted WiFi devices. This was a more fair area to test both systems having interface from each other. Several feet from the back door resulted in multiple dropped connections while other times I had a false connection. WiFi showing connected but either abysmal or a non-existent internet connection. Other Considerations I didn’t realize this in the beginning, mainly because I just clicked agree to everything as I setup. But for those who are concerned about privacy, MINIM isn’t exactly a part of Motorola. MINIM is the software company that provides the app and from my research isn’t part of Motorola. My initial thoughts were that this was a software subsidiary of it but it doesn’t appear that way. After skimming through it, I can’t say with certainty if this data is shared between both entities. Conclusion This is a great system nonetheless. It makes everything simple for the end user and provides a good connection. And when compared to other mesh systems, this one comes out as a, financially, cheaper option from the big names. Just be aware of the data that's collected.

Amazing Difference Over Last Mesh System
The Motorola AX1800 Mesh Wifi 6 System is no doubt a killer to other brands in the market. The reason for this is simply value and size of the units. What you get for the amount you spend is dollar for dollar the best WiFi 6 Mesh system I have tested and now use to date. Packaging was nice and easy to open, everything in its place and ready to install within the house and setup in about 15 minutes. I placed one of the routers/repeaters on each level of my home in a staggered pattern to cover the most area possible. This was a perfect layout, being able to cover all devices with ease including all the security cameras outside and even my Hue lights with perfect connection no matter what. The ease of setup utilizing the QR code on the bottom makes a quick scan and setup legitly take 2 to 3 minutes a device. The first unit is your base and then the next 1 or 2 and even more, are all setup as a repeater from the main unit. You can also wire them i to the system using a switch making each access point that much faster. I already had my home setup this way and testing speeds to my Plex server and home file server, the WiFi 6 is so fast, every test was 1gbps or faster, so setup either way will be extremey fast for WiFi 6 devices. I did test the 2 different setups for speed with older laptops and the wired through a switch is faster for older devices as there is a drop in signal quality when setup as WiFi repeaters over wired repeaters. I was honestly worried about the app not working because of the reviews on Google Play about issues with it not connecting, being able to see devices and notifications not being seen. I can report on my Samsung S21 Ultra and Samsung Tab6 Tablet, the MotoSync app works flawlessly and has many options for setting up the devices with ease and a lot more features. The features in the app include but are not limited to the following, Individual Profiles, port forwarding, speed test, home filter, connection info and speeds, along with much more. The ease of how the system works is the best and after 3 weeks solid, not one time has it shut off, reset, slowed down or anything. We have anywhere from 30 to 70 devices at any moment in this house trying to grab its WiFi signal needed. We are a family of 6, a home with tons of automation, every kid having their own TV, Nintendo Switch, XBox, Tablet, Phone and more, the WiFi systems always struggle in our home. The last Mesh system this replaced was almost 3 times the amount of money and performed about 30% of what the AX1800 setup from Motorola can do I highly recommend the Motorola AX1800 system. If your home is 2 stories or a large Ranch, buy at minimum the 2 box setup, 3 is making my home a WiFi fortress. Pros: Small Footprint Easy setup in app Many options Built in security features Looks great No noise from the units Fast WiFi 6 and normal WiFi Packaging Nice web interface with more options Cons: Not a one yet Good luck on your search for the perfect Mesh system but you should stop here, for the cost, it's really the only choice.

Good coverage at decent speeds
I’ve had 1Gb fiber Internet for about a year now and tried a number of routers to get the most performance and reliability out of it. I have over 30 Wi-Fi devices and at least a dozen wired devices. I have yet to find the perfect router or mesh system that offers both, the fastest performance and a reliable connection. I had an opportunity to try the Motorola MH7603 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 system which I;ve been using for over a week now. You must use the MotoSync App to set it all up and manage a somewhat limited set of features. I have not been able to find a web-based management console which I would prefer for more advanced/granular settings. The App is easy to use, it walks you step by step through the initial setup of the first unit that will act as the router, followed by adding the mesh extender units. It takes 5-10 minutes to pair each extender with the main router node. That includes upgrading the firmware that is one of the very first steps that happens and takes about 2 minutes to complete. My main interest was in the WiFi 6 vs. 5 performance and range coverage compared to my ISP provided router. For my main tests I used a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra running the latest patch level of Android 12. Here are my test results: In the same room as the main router: 5 GHz 476 Mbps down / 249 Mbps up One floor above and about 20 feet over from the router, but only a few feet away from one of the extenders 5 GHz 176 Mbps down / 128 Mbps up I also tried similar speedtest.net tests from a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook with WiFi 6 support which rendered similar results, but a bit slower and weaker signal than my phone. Now these are by no means precise measurements but it gave me some idea of how capable this router is. I'm still trying to find the best placement for the Mesh Extenders to maximize coverage and performance around the house and the yard. If the house is too small, your devices may not switch to the nearest mesh extender, even if it has a much stronger signal than the main router. The Motosync App will show you what devices are connected to what extender/router and also if they’re on the 2.4 ot 5 GHz bands. From a security perspective, it does not support WPA 3, but it does have Web Filtering capabilities that can be toggled on and off for 3 categories - malicious websites, ad privacy and adult website blocking. Another feature that’s missing is a USB port that is normally present on other more expensive routers, which would allow you to share files from an external USB hard drive or thumb drive to other devices on your home network. In conclusion, this Motorola Mesh router system is a solid and affordable unit, with a very easy to use smart phone App, though missing some features that are common in other comparable routers. It offers 5000-6000sqft Wi-Fi coverage, depending on construction materials, obstructions and elevation/placement of extenders. Wi-Fi throughput does go down considerably the further away you are from any extender, even though it still says Wi-Fi 6, you may get speeds as low as 30 Mbps.
