The Huawei Wifi Mesh 3 is packed in an unobtrusive but stylish box. On the front I only see the brand and the contents. This box slides open and immediately reveals the 3 stations in this set. They are compact and a lot smaller than 'big brother' Wifi Mesh 7. Because of the unobtrusive design I place them anywhere in the house. The stations are not easily in the way.
You always install WiFi mesh systems with an app on your phone. The Huawei Mesh 3 is no exception. Yet there is a big difference. The Huawei AI Life app you use is made for all smart devices from Huawei. That makes it difficult to find out exactly how I set up the system. Fortunately, the app gives me hints if I'm doing it wrong. As a result, the first station is still set within a few minutes. The other 2 stations are automatically added to the network. I don't have to do anything for that.
I divide the 3 stations of this WiFi system over the floors of my house. That was built in 2018 and sometimes creates challenges in the field of Wi-Fi. Fortunately, with this system I have good WiFi everywhere. Even if I connect the stations wirelessly. The connection is excellent on the ground floor and first floor. In the attic it is a bit less and I don't get the full speed.
The connection on the first 2 floors of the house is very good. Here I get the full speed of my fiber optic connection. In the attic, the speed drops a bit. But with halved speed and a stable connection, it's still good. This allows me to stream everywhere in the house: from the living room to the attic. Working from home is also hassle-free everywhere. With this WiFi system I have good speed everywhere.

Bought 2 packs of 2: one in the cupboard (Ziggo Giga) + 1 on each of 3 floors. Didn't realize I need 4 ports to wire all 3 to the first one, so one is connected over the air and this works perfectly fine, tests show almost no difference in speed on an end device no matter what station it is connected to. When connecting stations over wifi you need to press a button on the closest station already configured to accept the new one, which is a bit of a bomber if they happen to be on different floors, but this is only needed to be done once. The control app can measure coverage and build a heatmap based on that which is a great toy for the first couple of hours, but overall seems useless. All in all, the app feels a bit overbloated with bells and whistles, but does it's job.
