Tenda AC5 (old)
![]() | Outdated Product 777 ₴ Stylish dual-band wireless router with four external antennas and MU-MIMO technology. The manufacturer is positioning itself as a product of a low-cost price category (among DualBand devices), competing in price with models of a similar class from the Chinese company TP-Link. Designed for home or small office use. It is recommended for use in cases where the speed of the incoming Wi-Fi connection is quite high (more than 100 Mbps), and the cable WAN connection is limited to 100 Mbps. As the basis of the hardware platform, the Realtek RTL8197FN processor with the MIPS 24Kc architecture with a clock frequency of 1 GHz was used. The Realtek RTL8812BRH chip is responsible for data transmission over the air. For each band in the MIMO 2x2 configuration, two antennas are allocated - the side ones...are responsible for the operation of the 2.4 GHz band, the middle ones for 5 GHz. The Tenda AC5 wireless router is capable of fully supporting Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac standards and high data transfer rates (up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and up to 867 Mbps in the 5 GHz band). Cable connections are limited to the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface. 4 RJ-45 connectors are provided (1 WAN, 3 LAN). It can perform the functions of a bridge and a repeater. NAT, Firewall and DHCP server are supported. Correctly passes VPN traffic of PPTP, L2TP, IPSec standards. Supports all current security protocols and traffic encryption. The router is easy to configure, which is done through a proprietary web interface. |

Inexpensive, high-quality router from one of the largest manufacturers of network equipment in China. The speed does not cut, at 2.4 GHz the reception is 40-50 next to the router and 16-20 through 2 concrete walls. At 5 GHz 90-98 in the line of sight of the router and 50 through one concrete wall. Supports mu-mimo and beamforming technologies, excellent web interface with detailed settings. Quite regular firmware updates on the website, there are no complaints about the factory one, it works stably. Powerful processor, 2 bands, modern technologies, low price No use Tenda AC5 (old) week |
Decent hardware, there was good potential, but the firmware was frankly simple, minimal settings, even through the configuration file. No one is developing or studying it. Older models are inferior in terms of hardware, but the software is almost the same. An analogue of no-name solutions from China for ~1700 rubles, only now in Russia. Quite a powerful processor and fast memory in the budget segment Cuts Wi-Fi speed on 2.4 GHz down to 30-40 Mbps no matter how you tweak the settings, while on 5 GHz it delivers a maximum speed of 96 Mbps (tested on Realme 3 Pro with MIMO). Firmware hasn't been updated for a long time. The remote management app is poor (I still do all settings the old-fashioned way through the web interface). |
The popularity of Tenda network equipment is growing rapidly, which is explained by the winning combination of its stable operation and affordable cost. The Tenda AC5 model is often chosen as a home router for a one- or two-room apartment. And that's why.
Magic number "4"
The dandy router with the texture of the top cover in the manner of sea waves handles with the tasks of distributing the Internet shouldered on its shoulders without the slightest hitch. The device is equipped with four physical connection ports (one WAN connector and three LAN ports) with a maximum bandwidth of 100 Mbps, the same number of antennas in the arsenal of the router. Two of them are used for the 2.4 GHz band with a maximum possible speed of 300 Mbps, two more for the 5 GHz frequency, during which the data exchange rate is limited to a threshold value of 867 Mbps.
Technological "receivers"
"At the helm" of the model is a Realtek RTL8197FN processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. MU-MIMO technology helps the router to interact more quickly with several clients in one go. In turn, the technological "bun" Beamforming + focuses the signal in the direction of the desired device. The wireless router also supports all "travel" security protocols and traffic encryption, NAT, Firewall and DHCP server.
Intuitive Interface
Tenda AC5 is configured through the web interface at 192.168.0.1 or through a mobile application available for download on gadgets running both iOS and Android systems. The router management interface is simple, intuitive and has great functionality. For its money, the model turned out to be really worthwhile and able to compete on equal terms with more venerable colleagues in the consumer segment Wi-Fi equipment shop.
