I already had the Motosync mobile app installed on my mobile device, so I connected the router node to my modem, powered it up, and opened the app. Other options allow you to add users, enable web filters, and edit the network name and time zone settings. Advanced settings include Port Forwarding and LAN settings, Wi-Fi optimization, and UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) settings. Tap Notifications to see a list of notices such as when a new device has joined your network or if a network security issue has been detected. To access system settings, tap the gear icon in the lower right corner. You can also see how many visits were blocked and manually add websites to your blocked list. Here you can also enable filters that will block websites with adult and malicious content, and block ads and ad tracking. Here you can run a speed test to measure upload and download speeds to see if your current internet connection will support SD, HD, and 4K video streaming, as well as gaming, music, and web browsing.Īt the bottom of the My Networks screen is a Profiles button that takes you to a screen where you can create user profiles, assign devices to each profile, and view network usage statistics for each user-including time spent online and which sites were visited.
Keep scrolling down to view the Connection panel. Tap the panel for a more detailed look at any recently detected malware, intrusions, and known vulnerabilities. Missing are settings for selecting a Wi-Fi channel, QoS settings for assigning bandwidth priorities, and the ability to separate the radio bands.īelow the Wi-Fi panel is a Security Center panel that tells you if there are any security issues. Scroll down on the My Networks screen to access Wi-Fi settings, where you can edit the SSID and password, and see which devices are currently connected via Wi-Fi. There’s also a reboot button for restarting the node. Tap any node to see which devices are connected to it, or to view information such as the IP address, the MAC address, and the firmware version.
When you launch the app, it opens to the My Network screen, which displays icons for each of the three nodes, the network name, and the number of connected devices. For example, the Timeline button, which has been moved to the top right corner, is replaced by a button that takes you to the Motorola website. The Q11 uses the same user-friendly Motosync mobile app as the MH7603 system, but a few changes have been made since we last used the app. The Mobile App: Painless Network Adjustments As mentioned, unlike the MH7603, the Q11 also supports 160MHz channels and WPA3 encryption. The Q11 utilizes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technologies including Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) data transmissions, MU-MIMO simultaneous data streaming, direct-to-client signal beamforming, and 1024 QAM. They are 5 inches wide and 2.6 inches tall, and have a white finish with an M logo on top. The low-profile nodes are identical to the nodes used by the MH7603 system, at least on the outside. For smaller spaces, you can buy a single node for $129.99 and get 2,000 square feet of coverage. We're reviewing Motorola’s three-node Q11 combo package, which provides wireless coverage to homes of up to 5,000 square feet. It can’t match the performance and features of our less expensive Editors’ Choice winner for Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems, the Eero 6 Plus, but it's a solid pick for large homes and a good choice if priced enough off list price.Īvailable in Single or Three-Node Packages With the Motorola Q11 ($329.99) reviewed here, you still don’t get multi-gig or USB ports, but this mesh system does support 160MHz channels and WPA3 encryption, and it’s a better performer than the MH7603. But we bemoaned the absence of multi-gig LAN and USB ports, and lack of support for some Wi-Fi 6 technologies. When we reviewed the Motorola MH7603 mesh system earlier this year, we were impressed with its ease of use, built-in network security and parental control software, and solid performance.
