D-Link COVR-1102 AC1200 Dual Band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System

The D-Link COVR-1102 AC1200 Dual Band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System is a solid choice if you're looking to boost your Wi-Fi coverage without too much hassle. Priced at around £134.50, it’s not the cheapest option out there, but you do get a decent set of features for your money.

Setting it up was pretty straightforward. The app guides you through the process, which is a relief if you're not the most tech-savvy person. Once it’s up and running, the COVR-1102 does a commendable job of delivering a strong signal across larger homes. It uses dual-band technology to provide speeds up to 1200 Mbps, which is a nice touch for streaming and gaming. I found that it handled multiple devices quite well, which is handy if you’ve got a family or a lot of gadgets.

However, it’s not without its quirks. While the coverage is generally good, I did notice a few dead spots in my house where the signal dropped off unexpectedly. It’s not a deal-breaker, but if you’ve got a particularly tricky layout, you might want to consider how it fits into your space. Also, the design is a bit basic—nothing flashy here, just two white boxes that blend into the background.

In terms of value for money, I think you’re getting a decent product for the price. It’s not the top of the line, but it delivers reliable performance for most average users. If you’re after a mesh system that provides solid coverage and doesn’t require a degree in IT to set up, the COVR-1102 is worth considering. Just keep in mind its limitations if your home layout is a bit complicated. Overall, it’s a good option for boosting your Wi-Fi without going overboard.
