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'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.

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!

Writing this after about 15 days of use. Our previous setup and problem we faced: We have Hathway coaxial 50Mbps connection and have Technicolor router+modem. Due to lockdown we had about 3 laptops, 4 mobiles, and 1 TV connected throughout the day and Technicolor router wasn't able to keep up, it used to frequently hang after 4-5 hrs of use, nothing but reseting it would fix the problem for another couple hours. Did Tenda AC10 fix the problem : Yes, we connected this router through the ethernet cable from the old router and keeping the original setup in place as this router does not support coaxial connection. Setting up was quite easy, I used another ethernet cable to connect this router to my laptop and followed the instructions from the quick start guide. Once setup was done, it was ready to go and have been trouble free since. Now I have 3 wifi points (1 from old router, and 2 from this one), I have divided my devices across them. The network is stable across all 3 wifi points and the issue of hanging and need to reset every couple hours is now resolved. The MU-MIMO certainly does help and the difference is noticeable. Internet Speed: Speed from Hathway D: 50Mbps U: 10Mbps Technicolor WiFi D: 22Mbps U: 8.5Mbps Technicolor LAN D: 48Mbps U: 9.5Mbps Tenda 2.4GHz D: 35Mbps U: 9Mbps Tenda 5GHz D: 47Mbps U: 9.3Mbps Tenda LAN D: 48Mbps U: 9.5 Mbps Overall opinion: Built quality is quite good and I definitely like the angular edgy design. The smartphone app is quite handy and works well. The user interface is simple and easy to use both in the app and admin panel. Range is not an issue for us, we live in a 2bhk apartment with open area in front. Inside the home everything is flawless. 5GHz signal do tend to be weak outside as expected, but 2.4 works great. Despite the lockdown, delivery was prompt, thumbs up for that. Hope this review helps you out. Will be updating if anything else comes up.

The Tenda AC10 AC1200 is one of those routers that quietly overdelivers. Setup is quick, the interface is clean, and within minutes you’re online with stable dual-band Wi-Fi. The 5 GHz band easily handles streaming, gaming, and work calls, while the 2.4 GHz band covers the house without drama. MU-MIMO actually does its job—multiple devices stay connected without speed drops. The four Gigabit LAN ports are a big win at this price point, especially if you’re running a smart TV, PC, or NAS on wired connections. VPN server support and Wi-Fi scheduling add a layer of control usually seen in more expensive routers. The signal strength is solid for apartments and mid-size homes, and heat management is decent even with heavy use. Design is simple and modern—no gamer spaceship vibes, just clean black and functional. Important note: this is not a modem, so you’ll need an ISP modem to pair it with. Overall, if you want reliable performance, smart features, and gigabit speeds without burning a hole in your pocket, the Tenda AC10 is a smart, no-nonsense choice. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Update after 2 weeks. The wifi signals are super strong on both bands (2.4 and 5) It will give you the hand issue sometimes after installation. The LED lights on the router stop blinking and start blinking in a very rhythmic manner like it's sleeping and does not give you any idea what exactly is happening. There will be no wifi signal, the only solution is to restart the router. At that time do not think that your ONU is out of sort, it's just the router that is not working and it happens several times a day. You can see in the video when it hangs, the system light goes out of sync, can't even log into the router. Normally the system light blinks at normal intervals. The worse thing is when you call their support number they won't help but will only tell you to go to the service center. This is how they fool people, sell their product and then you start to and fro with the service center. In a nutshell, support service is worthless even you escalate it to the high level, all are the same. They do not care that you are the customer at some point I felt that the support people even do not care about their company itself. This happens daily several times under heavy downloading. I am returning the product just because of their worthless post-sales support, I called and emailed them but no one is listening. If you really want to invest your hard-earned money in such a product then do not go with Chinese manufactured products, they do not care about Indian customers and their policy is just to sell their cheap product invest a little more, and go for other products in the same category. That is what I am doing returning back on Amazon. It will give you the hand issue sometimes after installation.

I had used Tenda AC6 earlier and was impressed with the router. The router just performed well all-round. I didn't have a very high bandwidth internet and so was ok with low throughput at some places. But with lockdown that changed as I needed to be in one corner of the house for entire day to work from home on my computer. Thus a need for another router arose. This time I had finalized tplink archer c6 or A6 and tenda ac10. Chose tenda ac10 over tplink because of prior experience. The tenda AC6 works really well. I have four mobiles, Alexa, smart light, fire tv stick, two laptops and a computer connected to the router whole day along. Mind you all these loads are balances off between the tenda ac10 and AC6. Range and power throughput is good. I have kept the routers on 40mhz for 2.4g and 80mhz for 5g band. With the 2.4g I'm getting about 80mbps to 100mbps speed and with 5g band I get the full 200mbps speed. So set your bands correctly and it will give you good reception. Since I've a repeater AC6 I don't face much range issues, but in general this router has good range. Setting up the router is fairly easy with all the various options laid out in simple way. That's it for now. This is a truly vfm product. Just go for it. Note: Use good cat6 or cat7 cables in your setup to get best speeds. The one in my image is cat7 from Amazon 88mbps screenshot is for 2.4Ghz band with channel width 40.

Pros : Easy to configure. Copies settings and credentials from old router via simple procedure. Dual mode 2.4 & 5ghz. Stays connected under minor electric fluctuations such as switching to and back from invertor. Supports upto 30 devices. Can be controlled via mobile app. Option to disable 5ghz and adjust Wifi strength. Cons : Multiple Antenna seems a gimmick. 2.4ghz coverage not much stronger than old twin antenna cheap router even at full power. 5ghz range is quite poor, which is theoretically typical. Worst is that often the connection stalls (once or twice every week) and is resolved only by rebooting the router. Though there is option for automatic scheduled maintenance, if there is ongoing data traffic it is skipped. In any case I do not appreciate any need for scheduled maintenance / reboots as evident by such function; and consider it a shortcoming / defect. My previous router worked trouble free for around two years without requiring any reboots, before its power supply blew. Overall : Not Recommended. Though it is fast when it works, easy to configure, and better than some others, I simply do not like that it requires occasional reboots to keep working. It's a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned. When I'm not around and it stalls, smart devices around the house go offline. Maybe its a known defect which is why this particular model AC10 is being offered at a discount, even after which its not cheap. Would've returned it but missed the window by a few days.
