I notice not many people discuss or recommend tenda brand? Why is that? The price is very cheap

Well I won't say I recommend but it is a reputable brand I think, but TP-Link is more reputable.Used its wifi adapter before. Since other brands like TP-Link is more reachable(read: easier to find in stores), and the price is reasonable people tend to look that way. Take the Tenda Archer series if you're interested, quite cheap.

tenda is still better than dlink. So if you have a dlink router you can get tenda to replace it.

as a router brand tenda is not bad, but if you see too many options in their routers like with asus than you should avoid because at a cheap price, the division of cost has to be done right with the price or the quality would be bad (like dlink as dlink put too much effort into features of their firmware rather than hardware/firmware quality).

Tenda brand is useable. Dont worry. More or less similair with dlink and tp link.

Well most people uses TP-Link 😎
Its like herd mentality.. See friends or Family use TP-Link, follow the same brand 😁

tplink isnt innocent either. they do have issues, just as a basic router tenda and tplink are totally find.

Under all circumstances however, make sure to avoid dlink even if its a modem.

no used it once don't want to use it again recommend tp link and D link.

Avoid D-Link DIR850L as TP-Link Archer C1200 as further away as possible. Other models are quite decent.

i agree! since nothing is perfect at least it is complete.

Be careful with the hardware. Sometimes the wireless standard might be good on paper but the WAN or LAN might be restricted to 100mbps only.

Used Tenda modem router before. It sux. Change any small setting also need to be restart. And the restart process took longer time than other brands to get connected to Streamyx.

i already bought TENDA AC18

After 5 days i quite happy with it.

Tested 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

Very stable connection

I change any setting also do not require restart.

Speedtest manage get more than my standard

On unifi 50mbps

Speed test on 2.4ghz

Speed test on 5ghz

Just bought AC18 tenda router. What i'm facing is while playing youtube videos on Android Box, no connection error will display when ever youtube wants to autoplay the next video.
It does not happen on my older tplink router

Are u using back the same SSID and password as ur old router? Try to forget the WI-FI from ur devices and connect again

Search function ?

I use both at home without any problem

yup, using back the same ssid, but it happen on both wired and wireless..

For light usage should not be a problem but that's not what happens in my house. I have TV streaming youtube, and each person has a laptop and smart phone. If that ever happens in your house, you will know how terrible it is.

I believe taqu have few combination of dir850L and acher c1200 act as AP distributed around his house. So its not a problem.

Yes, C1200 only as router, Wifi disabled. Wifi duties handled by D-Link DIR-868L and 2 units of DIR-850L. No problem with 12 devices & simultaneous Youtube/Iflix streams from kids.
