WIRED Affordable. Simple setup. Speedy performance. Solid coverage. Built-in Firedome security. TIRED Limited settings. Basic parental controls (for now). Can’t mix and match routers.
The Pro system initially used 5 GHz for backhaul, but an Optimize option popped up in the app, and it switched to 6 GHz when I ran it. I’m not sure why it didn’t just do this automatically, especially since the software options are limited.
My initial testing with the Wyze Mesh Router showed very inconsistent speed test results, with fluctuations of more than 100 Mbps and frequent drops, specifically with my iPhone 14 Pro. Performance improved when I moved the main router to a better location and updated the firmware. After those early jitters, the Wyze Mesh Router turned in a solid mid-table performance.
The Wyze Mesh Router Pro performed far better from the start, offering lightning-fast speeds in every test I performed. It comfortably beat Google’s Nest Wifi Pro , bested the Motorola Q14 at range , and broadly matched the TP-Link Deco XE75. It did not come close to the TP-Link Deco XE200, but that is a far more expensive system.If you already use Wyze devices, you will likely appreciate being able to use the same app for your mesh system, but options are limited.
You get built-in internet and network security courtesy of Firedome . Firedome’s free software blocks intrusion from the internet to your network, router, and devices and prevents devices on your network from visiting malicious services and sites. A statistics page in the app shows a history of prevented attacks, but I’m not certain whether it is working correctly . My Eero system showed several hundred blocks over a similar period .
