[Costco] D-Link COVR Dual Band AC1200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System 3pk - COVR-C1203

Pretty good pricing on a mesh router. Costco currently has this on clearance for $129.97 in-store only. Great for improving the wifi at home with the two satellites. Vaughan had about 20 of them in stock at noon.The regular price is $249.99

Same model being sold at Amazon below for $234.99

A dual band 3 pods mesh kit is by design a bad product. When you combine that with D-link reputation, that's even worse.

I suggest avoiding. Decent performance if you do wired uplink to each pod but not that great. I sold exact one on Kijiji and went with Ubiquiti AP setup.

I had these for a period of 3 months (that's probably telling enough). Sold them at cost.

The coverage was average at best, the app and router interface are awful, and they regularly (1/week) would lock up and need restarting.

I had already made up my mind to replace them when Telus gave us a couple of their Telus Boost units for free. Those, despite the reputation of ISP-provided hardware, are already leagues better than these.

I’ve had these since late April. They work, but the interference is brutal. I’m hoping to return them with an extension due to Covid.

Is there such a thing as better than these for around the same price? I paid 180 all in.

Well for what it's worth, I have the COVR-2203 and so far, after a week, they have been pretty solid. They replaced a TP-Link AC1750 router which had problems sustaining a decent signal across the hallway.

I have had the same "covr" unit for 6 months now. 2500 sq ft house and it covers it well (and have one wireless camera about 30 ft outside my house with no issues) I have something like 35 clients total on my network and i cant complain.
I do have one point running with ethernet backhaul.

You can add i think 2 more of these points to the 2203 model too.

I have the Linksys Velop triband mesh routers.
4 of them. They work ok with wireless backhaul. Great with wired backhaul.
I live in the middle of a a cul-de-sac in the middle of a ring road. I get signal for quite a bit of my neighborhood. LOL.

I ended up using TP-LINK Network over Powerline adapters to do wired backhaul and it really made a huge difference.
I envision any mesh kit, such as the OP kit, with a wired backhaul would work great.

That being said, the OP link is dual band. Not sure how I feel about those.
