What we like about Tenda A27

  • Supports Wi-Fi 6 (AX1800) for faster speeds and lower latency compared to Wi-Fi 5 models
  • Highly affordable 'bargain' pricing for a Wi-Fi 6 capable device
  • Easy setup process via WPS or a simplified web browser interface
  • Includes a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet port for stable wired connections to devices like consoles or TVs
  • Generous three-year manufacturer warranty, which is longer than many competitors
  • Features high-gain adjustable antennas that help effectively eliminate dead spots in medium-sized homes

What we don't like about Tenda A27

  • Throughput at longer distances (e.g., 40 feet) can drop significantly compared to premium competitors
  • Lacks a USB port, preventing it from being used for network-attached storage (NAS) purposes
  • The device can run warm, reaching temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during heavy use
  • Does not support the newer 6GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E), which may limit future-proofing
  • Some users reported limited range on the 5GHz band, requiring careful placement to maintain high speeds
  • Single LED indicator provides limited status information compared to devices with detailed displays

Verdict

The Tenda A27 is a dual-band AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 range extender designed to provide coverage for large homes up to 1,500–2,000 square feet. It delivers speeds up to 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band and 574Mbps on 2.4GHz, featuring two 5dBi high-gain antennas, MU-MIMO, and WPA3 security. Key pros include its versatile Gigabit Ethernet port for Access Point mode, Wi-Fi+ mesh compatibility, and an intelligent LED signal indicator for optimal placement. However, users may find it lacks a USB port for network storage, and some real-world tests indicate its long-range performance can drop significantly compared to high-end competitors.
