TendaBE5100 Dual Band WiFi 7 Router (RE6L Pro) – 1x2.5G + 3x1G Ports, Easy Setup, Security Protect, Parental Control, Access Point Mode, Vertical Design, MLO, VPN, NFC

I wanted to do something to improve my wifi especially for my Quest 3/ pc experience and was thinking either a stand alone direct link or perhaps a wifi 6e or 7 router so I saw this and (canceled my order for the direct link item)When I get this thing it even looked a little light weight nothing to it seems to weigh less than a pound.Very easy set up and then BAM... Connection to my (all premium) Laptop,tv, phone and Quest3 ....they all were changed and became much more focused,clearer and perceptively different and BETTER. As if a whole layer of grime and fuzz removed. There has tp be something to this wifi 7 and it's backwards compatabilty.I must reccomend this inexpensive piece of gear in mine or anyone's "quest" for great sound and video networking.

Buenisimo, mejora la señal de forma significativa, muy recomendado!!!

Funciona muy bien y fácil de instalar, aveces pierde la señal 5G

After almost ten years my Tenda router just became obsolete while still functioning perfectly. Tried a competitor brand and had problems. Sent it back and went back to my old reliable Tenda brand. Working like a charm and might add that the router software is much more user friendly than others I've seen. Stay with what works.

There are quite a few routers on the market that state that they are WiFi 7 routers. Tenda is no different but I’ll let you know what I like about it and what I don’t like. Off the bat, it has excellent performance and is quite good at utilizing the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz signal together as a combined beam (MLO). It does occasionally stutter but by and large, it is quite capable. The issue is though – that not many devices can take advantage of wifi 7 in the first place. Most devices have wifi 5, 6, or 6e. Wifi 7 is just starting to catch on so unless you bought all your electronic devices this year and they all had wifi, you likely have the majority of your devices on an older wifi standard. For those devices, this is still an excellent router. It has dual band 2.4ghz for smart home stuff, and 5ghz for your bandwidth hogs. Speaking of which, it also has a 2.5 gigabits/second (which is actually 312 megabytes/second) lan port. This is for your internet connection coming in. The rest of the ethernet ports are 1 gigabit/second (which is actually 125 megabytes/second). These are standard whereas the 2.5Gbps is starting to become the norm so that is good to see. You could theoretically use the 2.5gbps port for your home server so that it can blast out your own content at really fast speeds – this is something I intend to try out soon. It claims to be able to manage 100 devices and I am currently at about 40 devices. None of them have any issues with this Tenda router. I thought I recalled that it has 512mb of memory which would help it manage all the devices but honestly, I wouldn’t go above 50-60 devices. The main issue with this router is that it does not have a 6ghz signal – and this is the only thing I don’t like about it. From what I have read, since Tenda is manufactured in China, there has not been a finalization of the 6ghz standard in China so Wifi 7 routers from China do not have this built in. Does it matter? Not really because you likely don’t have many devices that are capable of handling 6ghz signals. Okay I lied there is one more thing I don’t like about it. The app. Its useless and unnecessary. I don’t know why everything today has to have an app. Just ignore the app.

Product was defective, Ethernet ports inactive.

As an early adopter, I try to stay up on the latest in technology, and tend to embrace anything that will make my digital life better and faster. This new product is the next in line of that proud tradition. The Tenda BE3600 Dual Band Wi-Fi 7 Router is the first entry into the new world of Wi-Fi 7. This is an upgrade from a 6 version router that I'd used before. I was surprised at the somewhat compact size of this beauty compared to the more than dinner plate monstrosity that came before it. Setup is actually easier than my old Wi-Fi 6 router, and the addition of NFC is an extra that I'd not considered before. Speeds are sustained, faster, and reach farther throughout the property than ever before. I also find the Tenda BE3600 Dual Band Wi-Fi 7 Router to be more of a value compared to the much higher price of my older unit which ran slower to boot. I can now get more done faster, and highly recommend this device for anyone with a need for speed.

Just wish it had a USB port
