Verdict

The Tenda RX3 is a dual-band AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 router featuring a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and four 6dBi external antennas, delivering combined speeds of up to 1775Mbps (1201Mbps on 5GHz and 574Mbps on 2.4GHz). It incorporates advanced technologies like MU-MIMO, OFDMA, and Beamforming to enhance device capacity and signal stability, while supporting the latest WPA3 security protocol and IPv6. Key advantages include its affordable price point, user-friendly setup via the Tenda app, and the inclusion of three full Gigabit LAN ports for high-speed wired connections. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of a USB port for file sharing and a relatively limited number of only three LAN ports compared to many competitors.
