Tenda AC19 AC2100 - home Wi-Fi router

Vendors often compare Tenda Technology's network equipment with major brands such as Huawei and ZTE. Unlike its Chinese counterparts, Tenda stopped at the production of modems, routers and switches. And it is not going to capture the market of smartphones and mobile gadgets. Maybe because of this, the manufacturer is able to release more interesting products on the network equipment market. The world saw another miracle of the Chinese manufacturer - Tenda AC19 AC2100. The home Wi-Fi router is based on a Realtek chip, which attracted attention.

General impressions of the Tenda AC19 AC2100 router

 

The design of the router for an amateur. On the one hand, the 7-sided shell-shaped body looks unusual. But because of this design, the device is too bulky. Fortunately, the antennas can be twisted, which simplifies the installation of the router, for example, in a closet. But this is so - little things. After all, the device is bought to distribute broadband Internet to all devices in the house.

And here is a big surprise. A router from the budget segment does not cut the communication channel at all. And this is very nice. Most cheap devices like to reduce network bandwidth by 30-50%. And here, when connected to a 100 megabit network, Speed ​​Test shows our 100 Mb / s from any device. It's fine. It is safe to say that Tenda AC19 AC2100 is 100% home Wi-Fi router.

But, during the testing process, another problem was discovered. When connecting a network printer via LAN, 4 smartphones and two tablets, friezes are noticeable when playing videos from Youtube. This indicates that the router processor is not able to handle the load. Our favorite office router ASUS RT-AC66U B1 does not suffer from such a problem. Perhaps it is too much to connect so many mobile equipment to the router. But the manufacturer himself announced 4X4 MU-MIMO and Beamforming technologies. We must correspond to this.
