Hi,

Has anyone else had a problems with the Tenda Nova kit (MW5s)?

I’ve got it connected to the hub 3 in Bridge node and every couple of days the primary node goes offline / no connection to the internet until I re-power it?

Cheers

Have you tried it with the Hub in modem mode ?

Not yet, but I didn’t really want to loose the firewall provided by the router in normal mode (unless it still works)

Doesn't the Tenda router not provide the firewall in that situation? That would be normal practice

I’m not sure to be honest

Good afternoon Paulcostello24.

Welcome back to the forums and thank you for taking the time to post.

Have you managed to put the Tenda Nova into modem mode?

Kind regards,

The Tenda has a 1GB WAN port and a firewall built in, so best to use the Hub in modem mode.
