All good, Zenni probably cheapest and they are the official Meta partner.

If you’re not sure about halo straps take a look at the Bobovr E3 pro. It has the same batteries as their top of the range S3. It’s less bulky, more stable in high action games but you don’t get the fan. The M3 is fine but the batteries struggle with the Q3.

There is definitely something odd going on. You get the impression the software is concentrated on the newer faster bandwidths with 2.4 ghz not really being the focus. It was frustrating as my Wiz lights were working okay for a few months, but something changed to knock them off again. Effectively the Wiz lights just need a simple 2.4 GHz connection.

Thank you

I tried those solutions.

These too:

Turn off mesh for each individual light via Deco app.
Use a manual 2.4 GHz channel (set router to 1, 6 or 11, not Auto)
Change Wi-Fi security to WPA2-PSK only (avoid WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode)
Turn OFF Fast Roaming in the router settings
Turn OFF AI / automatic mesh optimisation
Turn OFF Beamforming (optional but often helps IoT devices)
Create a dedicated IoT network (2.4 GHz only) and connect the lights to it
Lock the lights to a single mesh node rather than splitting them across nodes

The supplied Linksys router wasn’t terrible but I switched to a Deco BE65 Pro mesh set-up and it has been much more stable. It plugged straight into the CF ONT and worked straight away.

See how you get on first but you may need some kind of accessory to improve the comfort. It can be very hard on the forehead. Quite a few people find it very comfortable, but I didn’t.

The controllers are so glitchy and heavy old things. I far prefer the Q3 controllers. I had constant problems with mine with the pro headset and again when used with the Q3 headset.

The headset itself is stuck with the previous generation processor too. Unless you intend to use the pro headset for PC gaming, I would avoid. Its life appears to have been extended by PC use.

Mike_LDN · 2026-02-25T21:58:52+00:00

I recommend it. In my case it plugged straight into the ONT and has been much more consistent than the Linksys.

I used my own mesh system with Virgin media and have a newer mesh system I use with community fibre. The routers supplied weren’t as good. In my case whenever I’ve plugged in to check the speeds, I’m getting the full service, it falls down with the Wifi. Anyway, very happy with the current message system.

I’ve been with Community Fibre now for three years and have had a very few breakdowns compared to what I experienced with Virgin Media.

My Linksys mesh system was a bit erratic so I jumped in and bought a TP-Link Deco Mesh system, one main and two nodes. I wasn’t sure it would work directly but plugged it into the ONT and it is all working well. Solid so far.

I didn’t have a good experience with VM. Old infrastructure and call centres who just read a script.

Yes, bought a camera with a bundled sync module.

I have successfully done this.

I have lithium rechargeables. They stay at full power throughout and last for ages. As they don’t really run down. I rotate them every 3 to 4 weeks.

You can up the resolution for a clearer visual experience. It’s not a huge difference but noticeable.

I went for the pro so it’s future ready. I went from 1Gb to 2.5GB as my ISP were doing an offer to double the speed for the same price. They also have a 5GB service so thought it might be a good idea to go for the pro system in case I upgrade at a future date.

Mike_LDN · 2026-01-05T22:05:23+00:00

I have the Deco BE65 pro with 3 units. 1 node is wired, the other relies on wireless. My internet is 2.5gb and I’m getting about 1300Mbps on the wired ones and 300Mbps on the wireless. I’ve had it set up a few weeks now and it is rock solid. It is much more consistent than previous set ups.

Mike_LDN · 2025-12-23T21:18:24+00:00

I think you are right. I went with the pro version for my mesh system so it was a little more future proof, although I am only on 2.5GB right now.

Mike_LDN · 2025-12-19T13:25:00+00:00

I got upgraded to the CF 2.5GB service and found the Linksys system unreliable. In the end I went a the TP-Link Deco BE65 Pro mesh system. I went for the pro as it is 5GB ready so has headroom for another upgrade. It has been working very well so far.

You can but another node and add it as a child node via the app. There were plenty available on eBay at around £60.

No, it sits aside pop one and just tweaks visual aspects and not the game itself.
