M2 Hive: world's most powerful Wi-Fi system

A Wi-Fi system that has your whole house covered

We’ve all experienced Wi-Fi problems whether it’s a slow connection, reboots, constant buffering or you just can’t connect in some rooms of your house. It’s really annoying, especially as our homes become smarter with voice assistants and connected thermostats, and our demand on bandwidth increases with streaming services and online gaming.

Our current Wi-Fi systems aren’t able to keep up with the demands of a connected home and today we're saying "enough is enough"! The M2 Hive gives you the speed, connectivity, simplicity, and control that your home Wi-Fi needs and deserves. Finally, say goodbye to bad Wi-Fi. Hello to the M2 Hive.

When we say fast Wi-Fi, we mean it. M2 Hive is twice as fast as the industry average. No more waiting for your favorite program to load or dealing with lag in your gaming.   

 

Key features

Stretch goals - upgrades to the system!

We’ve decided that with the extra funding we can give everyone even more great features for the M2 - so we’ve set some stretch goals. Reaching these goals will allow us to upgrade our incredible system even further! What are the new features? We’ll be able to build a VPN straight into the system, with super advanced encryption and privacy algorithms, leveraging the same solution used by the NSA! Think passwords are a pain? No worries, your guests will be able to log into your network directly if you are Facebook friends - it’s so much easier! We have many, many upgrades planned and reaching these stretch goals will help us deliver these upgrades to you by September!

 

The power is in your hands

Not only does the M2 Hive provide your home with Wi-Fi connectivity like never before, it also grants you greater control on how many people are using the Wi-Fi and how much bandwidth devices are using so your network runs as you want it to. That means when you say Bedtime, you can mean it. Also, limiting speed means that your kids can access Google, but not Netflix; great for when they should be studying. And as for your new neighbors who have been hogging your bandwidth since they moved in, they will no longer be a problem.

Testimonials

 

Break through walls with our Wi-Fi nodes

Don’t worry we’re not inviting the Hulk to smash down your walls, there’s a lot simpler way of getting Wi-Fi in every room in your house. Our Bee nodes are small devices that you can plug into any socket. They give you a range of up to 5,000 square feet and travel through walls which means you’ll have a stable connection wherever you are.

 

Stay connected

We all know what it’s like when you’re in one room asking Alexa to play your favorite album, but it drops out because one of your family starts streaming a film on Netflix. No more will you have to fight over who is slowing the Wi-Fi down.  

You can connect dozens of devices in your house and supports multiple 8K streaming.

Awards and Recognition

We usually hide our Wi-Fi systems away because they are bulky and ugly. We wanted to create a product that would be happy to show in your home. We’re very pleased to say that the industry agrees with us! We’re also proud of our team for winning numerous software and hardware awards over the years.

Behind the scenes

 

Timeline

How we got here

It all started fourteen years ago when Mercku co-founders created the modern cell phone antenna, the very same antennae that will likely be on the phone you’re using today.

As world experts in telecommunications, we were always looking for ways to better personal communications and connectivity. Mercku was founded in 2017, because we were frustrated with the bad internet connection and slow Wi-Fi speeds that plagued homes across the world, especially with the number of devices under our roofs multiplying. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the tech in their homes smoothly and without interruption.

Mercku's products are manufactured in a world-class facility in Shenzhen, a facility which also manufactures other Wi-Fi products, with over a decade of experience in the field. We chose this facility because it had experience with high-quality goods, and also has the capacity to produce up to a million units a month - fulfilling our needs. 

We started with M1 which was our first generation router. We sold 5 million units to one of the largest telecom companies in Asia, acting as their sole Wi-Fi provider.

However, we wanted to bring great connectivity to everyone which is why we’re here with M2 Hive. We have been working on M2's core technology for the past two years to bring everyone better Wi-Fi speeds and coverage.

Great question! We can support as many devices as you want, but we can only guarantee high performance for up to 60 devices. Too many devices will sap the network of its speed.
