What we like about Tenda A23

  • Affordable price point for a Wi-Fi 6 capable device
  • Easy and user-friendly setup process with a simple web interface
  • Low power consumption, typically requiring only 2W to 3W during use
  • Includes a Gigabit Ethernet port for fast wired connections to devices like PCs or smart TVs
  • Smart LED indicator helps users find the optimal placement for signal strength
  • Reliable signal boost for basic home activities like browsing and standard video streaming

What we don't like about Tenda A23

  • Inconsistent performance with heavy gaming or high-bandwidth remote play
  • May require a full manual reset and reconfiguration if you switch primary routers
  • Setup can occasionally be finicky on certain web browsers like Chrome
  • Provides limited speed improvements in areas where a decent signal already exists
  • Lacks advanced features found in higher-end models, such as MU-MIMO or Mesh support
  • Occasional reports from users of erratic connections or signal drops

Verdict

The Tenda A23 is a compact AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 range extender featuring dual-band concurrent speeds of up to 1501 Mbps (1201 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz). It is equipped with two 5dBi high-gain external antennas and supports advanced technologies like MU-MIMO and OFDMA for efficient multi-device handling, alongside WPA3 security. Key advantages include its easy one-touch WPS setup, a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired connections or Access Point mode, and a smart LED signal indicator to assist with optimal placement. However, users may experience inconsistent performance improvements in areas where a decent signal already exists, and some reviews note potential lag or reduced speeds during high-demand activities like gaming or remote play.
