Motorola MH7020- AC2200 Tri-Band Router: Review

Wi-Fi routers have become essential in times of work from home. Motorola, very recently, came out with their new range of Wi-Fi routers. Today we look at the Motorola MH7020 mesh Wi-Fi router, how it performs and functions and how much value for money does it provide?

The Build

The Motorola MH7020 is bigger than the regular Wi-Fi routers out there. The all-white router comes with a Motorola logo on the front that glows in green colour when any device is connected to it. Half of the face of the router is plain and the other half has an artificial mesh design. The all-white design and build give it a unique look, and it is a tall gadget, the look can be refreshing for a number of users. The router is made completely out of plastic, but the materials used are solid and sturdy.

In The Box

The product box does not come with a lot of accessories but packs all the important and essential products. Users can find the following in the box:

• The router
• Ethernet cable
• Power adapter
• Warranty certification
• Quick start flyer

Features

The Motorola MH7020 comes with a number of features that make your experience truly wireless and secure. The company has taken care of every problem that one might face with their routers.

App Support

The Wi-Fi router can be accessed and controlled with the help of the MotoManage app. The app allows you to see your data usage, the number of users and other details. Users do not have to visit the official website to get solutions to their issues and problems. The router can be set up with the help of the app itself without any technical help. This can be done even by users who are not very technically sound.

Multiple Profile

Users can have multiple user profiles for using the Motorola MH7020. It is easier to track the usage, the history and the downloads. This allows users to have better privacy and have a profile with their details only, rather than having a common profile for all the users of the router.

Schedule and Time Limits

One of the modern features of the router is the ability to schedule the timing of the router and also imply time limits. If the kids in the house spend a lot of time on the internet, parents can set limits on the time of their usage. The router can also be scheduled to turn off automatically. It does not need to run overnight, you can set a time on the app and the router will go to sleep at that time.

Profile Filter

The option of a profile filter adds a layer of security for users with kids. There are multiple non-kid friendly websites on the internet, the profile filter lets the admin apply parental control on profiles. This will keep the kids and other users from accessing questionable content on the internet. This can be done with the help of the MotoManage app as well.

Signal Range and Quality

The Motorola MH7020 can easily cover an estimated area of 3,000 square feet. The signal range and quality are good, and you will not see a lag or a buffer. If you are a gamer who needs a good connection at all times, this router will help you achieve that. The connection through the Ethernet cable is even faster and lag-free. If you want to use the router for your laptop or PC, using it with an Ethernet cable would be a good option.
