Review: WAVLINK MIGHTY EX1 – An Affordable Mesh Wi-Fi Option for Your Home

Recently, a friend will switch to 1000Mbps fiber-optic broadband. By the way, he wants to set up Mesh Wi-Fi at home to solve the problem of network dead spots in the tail room. What are the options? I just received the WAVLINK MIGHTY EX1 from the agent. This Wi-Fi router will provide AX3000 connection performance. It adopts dual-band channel design and provides 574Mbps (2.4G) and 2402Mbps (5G) transmission speed. More importantly, as long as there are 2 Mesh Wi-Fi can be formed with MIGHTY EX1 or more, and the package price is only $699, which is almost half the price of other Mesh Wi-Fi of the same level.

As an entry-level router, MIGHTY EX1 is not beautiful in appearance design, but it is quite small. The body is smaller than A5 paper, and there are only 1 WAN and 2 LAN plugs on the back of the machine. If there are not many devices that need to be connected to the LAN at home, it should not be a big problem. In terms of settings, you only need to install the WavRouter app on your mobile phone, connect to one of the MIGHTY EX1 first, and set up the account and Wi-Fi password, then you can pair it with the secondary machine (another MIGHTY EX1). The connection process is not complicated, and it takes about five to ten minutes to complete.

In terms of actual speed, we tested with 1000Mbps broadband, using iPhone 14 Pro as Speedtest, the transmission speed was 784Mbps (download) and 608Mbps (upload), and using a computer to connect to MIGHTY EX1 with a Lan line, the speed was 745Mbps (download) and 944Mbps ( upload). The performance is not inferior to the big brand mesh Wi-Fi.

Summarize

PCM Rating : 4.5/5

WAVLINK MIGHTY MG1 is an entry-level AX3000 Mesh Wi-Fi router, and its speed is not inferior to similar products of big brands. But of course entry-level products will have certain limitations in the number of connected devices and processing power. If it is just a small family, a single EX1 can connect up to about 20 devices (including mobile phones, computers, TVs and smart home appliances, etc.) at the same time.
