My Tenda MW12-3 mesh WiFi devices have stopped working and Tenda staff are giving me no help
I live in England and have had several Tenda MW12-3 mesh WiFi devices in my home for a number of years. The main (primary) device is setup to connect to my router that provides the Internet service for my home, This main device was setup to provide my personal WiFi network at home. I then have a further 3 Tenda MW12-3 devices which are placed in different rooms in the house and then linked to the primary device. This is designed to spread my WiFi all around the house.
This has worked fine for several years but unfortunately it stopped working about a couple of weeks ago with only the primary device still functioning. Those devices that work show a green light and those that don't show a red light. So I now only have a home WiFi service nearby this primary device and my rooms upstairs no longer have WiFi access.
I assumed i could get the non functioning devices working again by powering them off and then powering them back on again. This resulted in their green lights flashing for a few minutes giving the impression that they were going to function again. Unfortunately the lights then returned to red indication no function. I struggled for a while with the 3 Tenda devices hoping to get them working again but with no luck.
So I sent an email to Tenda support asking for help in solving the problem. They told me I had to reset my devices by holding down the reset button on each device while powering it up. As i could not find such a reset button, they asked that I send them a picture of my device's model number so they could offer me the way of getting them back up and working. I sent them the requested picture showing my device details and asked them to indicate where the reset button was, but they ignored it and just told me to press the reset button. I repeatedly sent my picture showing the model number and asking them to send me an instruction leaflet showing me where the reset button was located. However they ignored my request and just stopped replying to me.
I consider their failure to send me an instruction leaflet by email to help solve my problem is appalling. I am now stuck with a set of Tenda devices which no longer work and are totally useless to me leaving part of my home without WiFi access.
