The Wavlink WN551X3 is the 3-pack version of Wavlink’s Halo Pulse AX3000 WiFi 6 dual band mesh system. Each unit delivers up to 573Mbps on 2.4GHz and 2402Mbps on 5GHz with 160MHz bandwidth, five 5dBi antennas, one Gigabit WAN port, two Gigabit LAN ports and a USB 2.0 port. Wavlink rates the 3-pack for up to 4,800 sq ft of coverage and more than 256 connected devices.
Slow, patchy WiFi in back rooms and drop-outs as you walk around the house are common with a single older router. The Wavlink WN551X3 uses WiFi 6 with 2×2 MU-MIMO, OFDMA, beamforming, BSS colouring and Target Wake Time to carry more devices with less congestion and lower latency. Three units suit larger and multi-storey homes where one or two access points still leave weak spots, and the system can be grown later to a maximum of seven devices. Touchlink lets guests join by touching the WAVLINK logo instead of asking for a password, and WPA3 security, VPN support and parental controls help protect the household.
Who is the Wavlink WN551X3 for?
This system suits households with lots of phones, laptops, smart TVs and smart home gadgets, as well as people who work from home or game online. Connect the first unit to your NBN modem with the supplied network cable, then spread the other two units around the house, for example one upstairs and one at the back of the home or near a home office. Set up and manage the Wavlink WN551X3 through the mobile app or the web interface at wavlogin.link, choose mesh, repeater or AP mode, and use QoS to give video calls and games priority. Plug a printer or USB drive into the USB 2.0 port to share it across the network.
