What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tecno TR660

  • High-speed performance with WiFi 6, often reaching close to gigabit speeds in real-world testing
  • Excellent long-range coverage, capable of covering a 70-foot long house and extending outdoors
  • Supports modern features like Mesh networking for seamless whole-home coverage
  • Advanced security features including WPA3 and MAC address filtering
  • Equipped with an enterprise-class dual-core 4-thread CPU for stable multi-device handling
  • Includes four gigabit LAN ports and one gigabit WAN port for fast wired connections
  • Features MU-MIMO and Beamforming technology to focus signals and reduce congestion

What customers don't like about Tecno TR660

  • Susceptible to performance drops due to WiFi interference in high-population urban areas or hotels
  • Maximum theoretical wireless speed (1775Mbps) may not be fully reached depending on environmental factors
  • Basic aesthetics with a simple white plastic design that may not suit all office or home decors
  • Configuration relies on a default IP access (192.168.188.1) which might require manual setup knowledge for some users

Verdict

The Tecno TR660 is an AX1800 WiFi 6 dual-band router designed for high-performance home and office networking, offering concurrent wireless speeds up to 1775 Mbps (1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz). It is powered by a dual-core, 4-thread enterprise-class processor and features four 5dBi external omnidirectional antennas to enhance signal coverage. Main characteristics include support for OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies to reduce congestion across multiple devices, mesh network compatibility for expanded coverage, and advanced WPA3 security. Key pros include its high-speed gigabit connectivity (1 WAN and 4 LAN ports), beamforming support, and easy management via a dedicated smartphone app. However, some cons include a lacks of USB ports for local file sharing and the absence of advanced features like a built-in DNS relay or specialized DoS protection found in some competing models.
