Tenda AC1200 Smart WiFi Router, High Speed Dual Band Wireless Internet Router with Smart APP, 4 x 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports, Supports Guest WiFi, Access Point Mode, IPv6 and Parental Controls(AC6)

It works super great!!! If you bought the spectrum router you must cancel it first for this product to work.

This is a fantastic product. I use it to connect my Xfinity NOW WiFi Pass in an office, and then connect all my customer devices for WiFi access. Easy to set up, and great app on the Android app. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. Great instructions and simple to follow.

To start I would like to say that I almost returned this product before I even opened the box. The box was covered in Chinese lettering and not a word of english was on the package. I thought that maybe I was sent the incorrect unit. I ended up taking a gamble though and opened it up. Yes, the directions were also in Chinese. At this point I was laughing as I was making sure the serial numbers were the product I ordered and not something else. Sure enough it was the correct product. So how does it hold up? Let's find out! I'm pretty tech savvy, so even though everything was in Chinese it was pretty self explanatory. Set up was easy. Plug in ethernet from modem and power adapter and boom! I was off to the races. Luckily I knew this router had an app to control it on my phone, so set up was even easier since that was in english. The process was simple after making an account. It walks you through step by step on setting both your 5g and 2.4g network. I think it took me less than 5 minutes to do so. I currently have 9 devices set up on it. From computers to smart TVs to xboxes they are all on. This router is no slouch. It will run all 9 devices at the same time without a hitch. (I should mention that my internet is 400 down and 100 up). Signal strength is great. I currently live in a 1400 sq. ft. home and I have full bars in every room I stand in from upstairs to basement. I get some signal loss when I step outside, but I was also expecting that to happen. Either way, two thumbs up here. The ease of use of the app is really nice. My wife is not tech savvy at all. I showed her the app and the simple controls to regulate the kids internet and she was loving it. So even if you're not that great with computers or routers this unit makes it easy. Want to restrict the amount of data a particular device uses? Simple setting for that. Want to shut off service altogether to a particular device? It's easy with the push of a button. This is by far the easiest router I have ever used. So this gets a recommendation right? Easy buy? Well that depends. Are you wanting to hook up multiple devices to this using ethernet cables and not use wireless? You may be disappointed here then. You get two ports... That's it. Most give you 4. Then again for 36 bucks what do you expect. Just keep this in mind as make your purchase. I didn't need them, so I wasn't worried about it. To conclude I really like what I have here. So far it's great. I will come back after 6 months and give an update, but I think that this is going to work really well. Just be warned!!!! The box may not be what you're expecting...

Is exactly what I need it Good price and works excellent

Junk. You get what you pay for here. The antennas are floppy and of cheap design only two of the four will actually stay in position once focused. My plan was to use this router as a second one to spread Wi-Fi throughout my home. When connected via the WAN I can use it with a cable but the WiFi does not work. I bought it and waited too long before hooking it up hence missing my return window. You can see in my photo there are 3 devices that have a weaker WiFi signal. These are the ones I wanted to improve. My iPhone is currently 5 feet from the agenda router and is barely picking up signal from my ISP’s router. Don’t make the same mistake, invest in something a little more solid.

This is my THIRD version, see below. What has come up is that this router apparently provides minimal or no security. The admin address can only be reached via http:// and not https://, while the admin interface shows no firewall or similar provision for network security. Although in terms of function and quality of local wifi service it is excellent, anyone considering this product may want to take this factor into account. I decided it would not be acceptable in light of the types of traffic I utilize over wifi. This is my second review attempt. Amazon bounced my first try but the only thing I can see that may have triggered that rejection may have been a mistaken concern that I had discussed the seller in the review. In fact, however, my commentary was regarding Tenda's excellent tech support. Amazon's clumsiness in its moderation is unfortunate -- if a real person had read my first version I am certain they would have understood what I was driving at and left things alone. So. The router works very well. The Wifi is absolutely solid. The MIMO beamforming feature must be effective also. I am no expert, but the reach of these added wifi points through the house is excellent. Setup was a breeze. Out of the box, plug in to the WAN ethernet cable from an upstream router, tun on, and bam. Full coverage. Not much more to say on that. Where I did encounter difficulty had to do with enabling printing over the network. This was because of my poor understanding of network mechanics, and no fault of the router. I had to call Tenda tech support and had two long conferences with the same person. It turned out that the default configuration for this and most routers is 'bridge' mode which wasn't talking the right way to the upstream router and so printing was blocked. The tech support agent (whose patience was legion) put his finger on the problem and instantly it was eliminated by setting the new router to AP mode. I had not understood any of that and the reason it took two calls was simply because it took awhile for me to describe the problem in terms that gave the tech fellow, Subham, enough to go on. I repeat that the availability of that assistance -- I waited for the live person less than 15 seconds on both calls -- and the agent's expertise were excellent. I hope this much will be clear to Amazon: I am praising the product, AND in this case the support the manufacturer provides. To me, this support IS PART OF the product, as my experience well illustrates. It would be very problematic to acquire such products, for which glitches such as this are pretty common, without having a solid back-up in tech help. Tenda gets A+ in my book. I highly recommend this router.

First the item arrived within 2 days from the date of purchase I have to give them a thumbs up on that. The item was very easy to set up I have MoCA adapters around my house and this device is on one side of the house and the modem is on the other complete separate ends the modem provides signal and power for me to watch high-definition streaming in PlayStation 4 gaming I also watched most of my nudes through YouTube TV or YouTube also use Netflix Vudu Amazon prime and most other streaming sites. I first put the router in the basement it had the modem in my bedroom but because I had the cable company run a direct line to the side of the house where my entertainment system is in the basement I decided to switch the modem and put it directly on the direct line and put the router in the bedroom where is Powers the TV for streaming in the bathroom where it Powers TV for streaming So far after about two weeks or should I say a week and a half and I must say this router worked very well this router has really giving my Wi-Fi signal throughout my house stability and speed it is currently connected to a CCTV camera system a Blu-ray DVD player laptop computer two Chromecast and one Roku and I must say it is really doing a fantastic great job Hope this helps anyone in consideration a purchasing one also the app which allows you to monitor and control the system is very very user-friendly and very good I highly recommend this product happy shopping

Does what it is designed to do. Power everything down once or twice, it will figure it out.

Worked well in the time we had it. We used this to boost our wifi signal as it was terrible with the original router we had. It worked very well.

Wer hier erwartet eine Alternative zur FritzBox zu erhalten oder gar eine Verbesserung zu dieser, der ist hier falsch. ABER: Wie immer kommt es auf den Verwendungszweck an. Der Router war sehr günstig, ich hatte eigentlich gar nichts erwartet, allerdings läuft er jetzt seit mehreren Wochen und ich hatte keinen Ausfall oder anderweitig Probleme. Für alle die nicht viel lesen wollen: Als günstiger AccessPoint oder Repeater ist er einwandfrei und die beste Wahl wenn man geringe Ansprüche an Bedienung hat. Preislich genial. Erfüllt seinen Zweck und hat sehr gute Reichweite und die Geschwindigkeit passt auch. Für alle die etwas genauer wissen wollen, wie er sich schlägt: Zuerst zur Einrichtung: Die Bedienoberfläche ist sehr primitiv gestaltet, die wichtigsten Funktionen sind dabei, logischerweise Sicherheitsstandards und Betriebsmodi etc. sogar Energiesparoptionen sind dabei. Ansonsten eine eher kahle Landschaft. Die Einrichtung war dennoch kinderleicht und sehr zügig. Ich nutze ihn allerdings auch als AccessPoint, daher musste ich eigentlich nichts einstellen, da der Router einen AccessPoint Modus besitzt. Zur Geschwindigkeit: Ob per LAN oder WLAN für meine Leitung ist der Router perfekt, ich merke keine Leistungseinbußen im Vergleich zur Fritzbox die den Hauptrouter repräsentiert. Zum WLAN: Unfassbar was außen stehende Antennen ausmachen können :D Ist natürlich klar, dass der Router einen Vorteil zu meiner FritzBox 7530 hat, die Reichweite ist sehr groß und kann durch die Antennen gezielt ausgerichtet werden. Super Sache, habe WLAN nun an Stellen wo ich kein Haus mehr hab :D Preis-Leistung: Nun ja, wie gesagt, für den Preis einfach Klasse was man an Technik bekommt. Für alle die viele Einstellungen benötigen und gerne auch tolle Grafiken zur Geschwindigkeit etc. die sollten lieber eine FritzBox kaufen. Ansonsten super Gerät, hat sogar einen Zeitplan um Nachts das WLAN auszuschalten. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.

El router que me facilita la compañía telefónica no alcanza a dar wifi a las habitaciones mas apartadas de mi piso. Durante un tiempo he utilizado un extensor wifi pero era muy inestable, por lo que me decidí a probar con un router que pudiera ofrecerme mejor señal. Me decidí por este router por su precio, pero sin embargo ha cumplido perfectamente con mis expectativas. He conectado el router al router de mi compañía telefónica a través de una cable RJ45. - Pesa poco y no tiene un tamaño excesivo, por lo que se puede situar fácilmente en cualquier lugar, además las antenas se pueden colocar en diferentes ángulos lo cual ofrece mas flexibilidad. - Gran alcance de señal, en mi casa recibo buena calidad y velocidad teniendo 3 habitaciones entre el router y el receptor. - La app para configurarlo es muy útil he intuitiva, no se necesita ningún conocimiento especial, y además incluye herramientas que configura automáticamente para optimizar la velocidad. - Estabilidad de señal y velocidad, llevo usándolo meses y no he tenido cortes o bajas excesivas de velocidad. - Para el wifi 5G requiere estar prácticamente al lado del router para no tener cortes, pero la velocidad es la máxima. - Tiene la opción de apagar las luces, lo que le hace perfecto para tenerlo en el dormitorio, además de otras opciones interesantes como programar a que horas quieres que se apague o encienda el wifi. En conclusión, para una casa o un piso normalito es perfecto, no creo que se necesite nada mas, yo estoy muy contento con la compra.

I've been running the Tenda AC6 for about a month now after my old Netgear finally gave up, and honestly for the price point this thing is performing way better than I expected. The dual-band setup gives you the standard 867Mbps on 5GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz which isn't groundbreaking in 2024, but for a two-bedroom apartment with maybe 15 devices connected it's more than adequate, and the four 6dBi antennas actually push signal to corners where my old router struggled even though it cost twice as much. Setup took literally five minutes, just plugged it in, typed the IP address printed on the bottom into my browser and followed the prompts, no complicated configuration needed unless you want to dig into the advanced settings. The web interface is clean and responsive, though I noticed some menu options have slightly awkward English translations but nothing that makes it confusing to use. The Android app works well for basic monitoring and quick settings changes, I use it mainly to check what devices are connected and occasionally pause internet access for my kids' tablets when it's homework time. Performance-wise I'm getting consistent speeds that match what my ISP provides (200Mbps plan), tested with multiple devices and the throughput stays stable even with four people streaming simultaneously. The beamforming feature seems to actually work, my laptop in the home office gets noticeably better signal when I'm at my desk versus walking around with it. One thing that surprised me is the QoS bandwidth control actually functions properly, I've limited my work laptop to 50Mbps during the day so my wife's video calls don't get interrupted when I'm downloading large files. The parental controls are basic but functional, you can set time schedules and block specific sites though it's not as sophisticated as what you'd get with an Asus or Netgear router. Guest network setup is straightforward and isolates visitors from your main network properly, tested this with my phone and couldn't access any local devices which is exactly what you want. IPv6 support works out of the box with my cable provider which saved me some configuration headaches. Build quality feels decent for a budget router, the plastic doesn't feel cheap and the antennas stay in position without drooping over time. Heat management seems good too, it runs slightly warm but nowhere near the concerning temperatures my old router hit. The only real downside is the ethernet ports are 100Mbps not gigabit, so if you have devices that need faster wired connections this isn't the router for you, but for wireless-focused homes it's perfectly fine. For under forty bucks this is honestly stealing, especially compared to ISP rental fees that add up to more than this costs in just a few months.

I cannot get better for +-35 Euro. Everything works great. This one has AP, Router and Repeater functionalities! I would have paid double the price if the LAN-ports were gigabit. Update 20230438: the Wireless AC appears to be fake. The speeds are the same as the Wireless N and the SSID also presents itself on computers thet do not have support for wireless AC. Still, very cheap so I don't feel too bad about it.
