Tenda i27 Dual Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2.93 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

Introducing the Tenda i27, a high‑performance dual‑band wireless access point built for modern networks that demand speed, capacity, and reliability. Based on the latest Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) technology, the i27 delivers powerful throughput, efficient spectrum use, and seamless connectivity for households, small to mid‑sized businesses, and dense environments. With 160 MHz channel support and a capable 5 GHz performance, this access point is engineered to handle multi‑device workloads, reduce latency, and provide a scalable path to future wireless needs. Whether you’re upgrading an existing network or deploying a new one, the i27 elevates your wireless experience with robust security, versatile deployment options, and simple management.

• Advanced Wi‑Fi 6 technology with OFDMA and spatial multiplexing: The i27 leverages IEEE 802.11ax to optimize spectrum efficiency in crowded spaces. OFDMA divides channels into smaller sub‑carriers, enabling concurrent data streams to multiple clients and dramatically reducing latency. Combined with MU‑MIMO and refined beamforming, the access point supports dense device environments while maintaining responsive performance for video conferencing, cloud apps, and real‑time collaboration.
• 160 MHz capability on the 5 GHz band delivering up to 2.4 Gbps: By using wider 160 MHz channels, the i27 achieves substantially higher throughput on the 5 GHz radio, making it ideal for bandwidth‑intensive tasks such as 4K streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. The result is faster client connections, less wait time for heavy traffic, and improved user experiences across the network.
• Industry‑leading aggregate throughput up to 2.93 Gbit/s: The i27 combines its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz performances into a robust, high‑capacity access point capable of up to 2.93 Gbit/s total data rate. This enables reliable performance for medium to large offices, classroom settings, coworking spaces, and enterprise campuses where numerous devices are online simultaneously.
• Smart network management, security, and access control: Equipped with modern security features, the i27 supports WPA2 and WPA3, providing strong encryption for both private and guest networks. It also offers VLAN tagging, guest networks, and QoS policies to guarantee priority for critical applications while maintaining secure isolation for guests and IoT devices.
• Flexible deployment with PoE and easy mounting: The i27 is designed for agile installations. PoE (IEEE 802.3at) support simplifies cabling by delivering power and data over a single Ethernet connection, enabling clean ceiling or wall mounting in classrooms, offices, or retail spaces. The compact form factor makes it unobtrusive in any environment while preserving strong wireless coverage.

How to install Tenda i27

• Plan placement for optimal coverage: Position the i27 in a central location relative to client devices to maximize signal reach and minimize interference from walls and external sources.
• Choose power options: Connect via PoE to simplify cabling, or use the designated power adapter if PoE is not available in your environment.
• Connect to your network: Run an Ethernet cable from your network switch to the i27’s PoE port (or power input) and ensure the device is powered on.
• Access the management interface: Use your web browser or the Tenda management app to locate the i27 on the network and begin the setup wizard. Follow the guided steps to configure basic settings.
• Configure wireless settings: Create SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, set strong passwords, and enable WPA3 where possible. Apply appropriate security policies and enable guest network if needed.
• Tune performance and security: Enable QoS rules for critical applications, adjust channel selection to minimize interference, and configure VLANs or captive portals if required for your environment.
• Test and verify coverage: Walk through the area with a mobile device or laptop to confirm signal strength in key zones. Make adjustments to placement or channel settings as needed for more uniform coverage.
• Maintain and monitor: Regularly check for firmware updates via the management interface, review connected clients, and scale deployment by adding additional i27 units as coverage demands grow.
