Mercusys' Halo series includes small, neat mesh routers that can connect to each other, creating one seamless network with a large coverage area. In a mesh network, there is no division into a main and auxiliary access point, instead, each router has equal rights and automatically understands when the user moves away from the router and needs to be quietly reconnected to the access point closest to him. This reconnection happens instantly, which is why it seems that the mesh-coverage is called seamless.


The Halo range is dominated by sets of two or three access points. Single options are not available for sale. Given the specification of the series, the priority here is simplicity and reliability, and not some additional features or a wide bandwidth. Most devices from this line are traditional entry-level dual-band routers with a pair of built-in antennas, support for Wi-Fi 4 and 5 generations and several LAN input ports. 2021 and later systems, such as the Halo H50G, now support gigabit connections, while earlier Halo systems can only handle 100 Mbps. Additional features typically include an additional LAN port, MU-MIMO support, and integration with Alexa voice assistants.

The main advantage of the Halo line is its affordability, simple installation process and versatility. The fact is that all access points are made in the same style (note: neat plastic cubes with snow-white sides), so they are quite easy to fit into the interior. As for the connection process, even an inexperienced user will figure it out. Having scanned the QR code on the package and downloaded the mobile application for setup, the system owner only needs to follow a simple step-by-step instruction, and the process itself will take at least 10 minutes.
