Tenda

Tenda counts the sockets and skips the generation

The Tenda range on this site

A ceiling or wall access point, a three-node tri-band mesh set, an eight-socket unmanaged switch, a plug-in Wi-Fi 6 repeater and a dual-band router.

What these pages give a buyer to count

The access point publishes both band rates, both power routes, its mounting choice and a body measured at 176 mm across. The mesh set publishes an area, a device ceiling and the sockets across the whole pack. The switch prints its own measurements to the millimetre and says unmanaged in its own title. The repeater closes with a bullet stating that a repeater extends coverage rather than speed, which is the sentence most of that shelf avoids writing.

Where a Tenda page argues with itself

The mesh set gives a class figure and never names the generation it belongs to. The router prints 5 dBi in its title and 6 dBi in a bullet for the same four antennas. And the switch, like nearly everything beside it, publishes no figure for what all its sockets can carry at once.

    Tenda A23, Wi-Fi 6 AX1500 plug-in repeater with a Gigabit socket

    Wi-Fi 6 · AX1500 over 1501 published · plug-in, stated · one Gigabit socket · repeater or access point mode · no mesh, stated

    AC1200 badge over 1167 Mbit/s published · two bands · four Gigabit LAN · four antennas rated 5 dBi in the title and 6 dBi in a bullet · 120 m²

    A four-socket dual-band router that publishes both band rates, and gives the same four antennas two different gain figures on the same page.

    Best for: A flat of up to about 120 m² with several wired devices, on a connection faster than 100 Mbit/s and slower than a gigabit.

    AC2100 class figure · tri-band · three nodes · 600 m² stated · nine Gigabit sockets across the pack · no generation named

    A three-node tri-band system that publishes an area, a device ceiling and a socket count, and never names the Wi-Fi generation its class figure belongs to.

    Best for: A house of three or four bedrooms wanting three units and a wired socket in each room, where the generation of the radios matters less than the area covered.
