Tenda AC10 AC1200 Wireless Smart Dual-Band Gigabit WiFi Router, MU-MIMO, 4 Gigabit Ports, 867Mbps/5 GHz+ 300Mbps /2.4GHz, Support VPN Server, WiFi Schedule, (Black, Not a Modem)

I was in search of a good and affordable router when my Tp-link router (TL-WR840N) started having issues with 40Mbps fiber broadband connection. It was having frequent internet dropouts and had to restart about 5 times a day. It wont stay connected to my PS4 during fortnite gameplay and same experience with movie streaming on Amazon prime and Netflix. Speed drops drastically and make gaming and streaming impossible. Out of frustration i started looking for a good and affordable router. Came across Tenda AC10 and read lot for reviews from around the world mentioning its excellent price to performance ratio. And i decided to giver it a try.Performance:I am really surprised with its performance and wifi coverage. Now i am getting full wifi coverage in every corner of my house and with full speed for 40 Mbps. No drop in speed at any distance within house. I measured the wifi strength at different point inside house with wifi analyzer app. The place where my PS4 was placed had a signal strength of 75% with old Tp-link router and with Tenda i am getting 98% wifi signal strength. I was getting a speed of around 10 -15 mbps which also drops below 5 mbps with Tp-link. No such issues with Tenda i am getting 40Mbps download and upload speed consistently in every corner of the house. Its been few days and i never experienced any internet dropouts. Overall best performance. And yeah i am using 2.4Ghz band for now and in my observation, the 2.4Ghz band performance of AC10 is better than other brands upto 5K price range (which i tested - Tp-link, Asus, Netgear(these are routers my friends own)). I feel 5Ghz band performance is weaker in tenda compared to Asus and netgear. Not bad for a dual band affordable router though. But there is definitely space for improvement. 2.4 Ghz performance in untouchable by any of the above mentioned brands. So people just getting this for 5Ghz please keep that in mind. I am using just the 2.4Ghz for now and more than happy with the performance. There is a maintenance and reboot feature. I've set it to reboot daily at 3 AM. Which will restart the router and makes software runs smoothly.This router can work as a repeater and AP as well. Beamforming+ is a nice technology and boost signal strength.I cannot comment much on security. I find it similar to other routers from Tp-link or Asus or Dlink. It has WPA2-PSK encryption. I saw settings for other security features inside app, which is nice.This model is without USB.Installation:Installation was a breeze with the tenda quick installer (thru browser). I had set it up in under 10 mins. Just had to connect with ISP to update MAC address of new router. After setup you can download the Tenda app and control the router functionality thru it. Lot of useful features like signal strength selector, Parental control etc.Packaging, Delivery and Build Quality:Delivery was quick with 1 day delivery. Thanks to Amazon and seller for quick turnaround time. Product came in its original box without any extra box or bubble wrap outside. This is due to Amazon's go green initiative. Anyway my product reached safe, so no complaints there.AC10 have a very good plastic cabinet. Sturdy with matte finish. Antenna is a bit wobbly, but no impact on performance or no need to worry about it. 12V1A AC adapter with Indian plug type is included. There is a small Ethernet cable as well as quick install guide.I am really happy with its performance. Thanks for reading.

I've used many routers till date, but I never found a product that does what it promises.Brands like Dlink, TPlink, Linksys, Cisco, Netgear etc. Are more visible in the market because people "especially people with no technical expertise" want them, for them buying a router is no better than buying a ceiling fan, if their neighbors have Orient they'll buy Orient too... he he!By the way that's exactly how most brands tend to survive in the market with their substandard products and premium pricing.Having expressed my views about those greater brands, let me now give you'll a fair and concise review of "this" product (Tenda AC 10).My Dlink gigabit router is not able to reach most parts of my house, its range is limited to my bedroom, due to which I bought a TP link extender about few months ago, but that failed to deliver too, infact it transmitted data at the most 40 mbps even when connected inside my bedroom and 1000:40 is definitely "Sheet" (deliberate spelling mistake).Note: Playstation network can give you nightmares when a 100gig game is downloaded at 1MB speed. Amazon fire tv on the other hand can work with any network, infact it's such a great device that it can possibly even work with a dialup connection.So my BIG problem was, you know it!Tenda AC 10 with the right setup and placement did the job, I repeated my primary 5G connection with this router and only left 5G network on, to avoid any possible interference, and as you may already know 5G or AC connections are not great when it comes to signal quality, yet this router is able to reach most parts of my house and my PS4 gets over 200mbps data transfer rate.Yes, this may not be the router with all features included such as SIP ALG or FTP ALG (firewall feature) which I use mostly, yet otherwise it has most of what one may need such as Good Firewall, DDNS support, VPN support, WiFi repeater etc. And moreover it has the best signal range of all.I feel astonished when mere repeaters are sold and bought with an inflated price tag when products like Tenda AC10 are there to kill the competition.That's all folks!

I've been using this router for the past three years, and my experience has been excellent. The setup was straightforward, and it has consistently provided a stable and strong signal throughout my home. The range covers multiple rooms, and it handles multiple devices without any noticeable drop in speed. The router’s user interface is easy to navigate, making it simple to manage settings and security features. Even after years of continuous use, it remains reliable with minimal downtime. Overall, Tenda offers great value for money with consistent performance, making it a dependable choice for home networking.

This router is just fabulous. I had purchased two tp link routers - ac1200 VoIP xpon and Archer ax 10 wi-fi 6 router.But trust me, this router outsmarts both in coverage, speed and latency.I was stunned by the latency of this router. It's just blazingly fast. Go for it guys. Tp link is just on paper, and I am saying it by my experience. This is a practical router and delivers its promise.
