As you know, the local internet infrastructure in Turkey is good in some regions, but it is really bad in some regions. right right. However, while this is the opportunity offered by the infrastructure providers, it is our most natural right to at least pay for the service and benefit from the service we purchased without any problems. When it comes to the internet, it is among our most natural expectations as consumers to use the speed provided to us at the maximum speed and to have a wide internet coverage area. Of course, the house is big, the corridors are long, or sometimes your current modem is insufficient due to the negative effect of thick walls. We have already told you how you can improve this in many of our videos. Especially because of how effectively mesh systems work. . . However, these can often be somewhat costly solutions, and as you know, not everyone’s budget can afford it. Today we have a range extender on our table that is both budget friendly and quality performance. Mercusys is a new brand for our country, but it has been in Turkey for a while. Maybe it was overlooked or you might not have focused on the brand because you don’t know it. Today we’re going to talk about Mercusys and Mercusys’ budget-friendly and good-performing range extender ME30.
Mercusys Assured by TP-Link
In the first place, it would be right to start with the following: Mercusys is actually the sub-brand of TP-Link, which almost everyone can think of when it comes to network and internet devices in our country. It is produced completely under the assurance of TP-Link, in TP-Link’s own factories, and meets the users in our country with the support of TP-Link. So you can think of Mercusys as a sub-brand of TP-Link.
Mercusys, which has now started to expand its production network, has more advanced models as well as entry-level products and will soon diversify its range even more – including Mesh solutions.
Mercusys ME30 What are the Features?
Well, our guest today, Mercusys ME30, what does it do, how does it benefit? Let’s start talking now.
Mercusys ME30 is a range extender. Mercusys ME30, which has a dual antenna, plug-in and very simple installation, also has an Ethernet port on the bottom. In this way, while expanding your wireless network, if you have a device that you want to connect via Ethernet, you can connect using this port.
Mercusys ME30, which is a Wi-Fi AC supported model, is thus a model that will easily meet the needs of a standard house. The device, which offers 1200 Mbps theoretical speed support in total, shows dual band support. In other words, you can both benefit from the 2.4 GHz band and communicate with your devices over the 5GHz network band, which is a very good support despite its affordable price.
By the way, we keep saying budget-friendly, let’s talk about the price: You can find the Mercusys ME30 in the market for 189 TL at the moment, when you compare it with rival range extenders at this price, it is possible to see the difference especially in terms of the speed and Wi-Fi standard it supports.
The Mercusys ME30 can provide theoretical speeds of up to 867 Mbps over the 5 GHz band and up to 300 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band. Of course, you should also know that these values depend on your infrastructure. If you have an internet with a download speed of 100 Mbps, you can see the same speeds for a standard home on this device. Of course, the golden rule here is: Do not place this device where the signal does not reach at all or the signal quality is poor. The logic in this and all other range extenders is to act as a bridge so you can further improve signal quality; not more. Therefore, instead of placing this device in the back room where the internet signal never reaches, it will be the right option to place it in the intermediate zone. Thus, where the modem’s signal weakens, this device will come into play and renew the signal quality and deliver it to the back room. Our topic is just that.
How to Install Mercusys ME30?
So how do you do the installation? This is actually very simple. Yes, as we are familiar with many of TP-Link’s products, there is currently no mobile application support, but frankly, you don’t need it much. In fact, you do not even need to open the web interface of the device if you are not going to make additional settings.
To connect the Mercusys ME30, all you have to do is press the WPS button on the Mercusys ME30 after pressing the WPS button of your modem. Then the 2 devices will communicate and the LED on the Mercusys ME30 will turn green. After that, in the Wi-Fi networks section of your mobile phone, you will already see Mercusys ME30 with the extension “EXT”, which it receives as an extension of whatever modem you have connected the device to. When you choose this, you will easily connect with the password of your main modem. That is all.
Of course, the Mercusys ME30 is not a high-end range extender. In that sense, it would be pointless to compete with TP-Link’s range extenders in terms of environmental features. But in this interface, you can find all the settings that will work for you. In the meantime, let’s share with you the official installation and interface video of the device, in case it will help you again at the installation point. So that there is no question mark in the minds.
Conclusion
To sum it up, the Mercusys ME30 is an ideal range extender for a standard 2+1 type home at an affordable price. If you’re thinking of not messing around with too many settings, installing it without any problems and strengthening the weak Wi-Fi signal in the back room of the house, we can say that the Mercusys ME30 is a complete price / performance product. However, if your house is large, there is a long corridor between the back rooms and the modem, or you live in a multi-storey house, then the solution is simple: Mesh systems – which we have shared with you in a video before. You can get an idea about it from there.
