Why can't you use the ISP provided ethernet connection?

Do you actually need an SC with two fibers or a GPON with a single SC connection ?

 

[jeffy9987]

it is the isp provided internet connection i asked them what type it is waiting on theyre response

 

[jeffy9987]

id assume its gpon with a single sc as the connector looks like this

GPON can be tricky. The exact wavelength of light used for the two directions can vary by ISP. It is also possible the ISP won't support alternate hardware connected to their fiber. If it were me, I would ask for a modem only or a router that can be set to bridge mode. Then you have standard copper ethernet and any router will work.

That is not a modem that is just a router that has all copper ports. There must be another box you plug the router into that has the fiber port.

In any case it is a "ok" device. I was extremely surprised tenda was selling wifi6e devices espeically because they are about the same price as other low end wifi6 and wifi5 routers. Maybe be wifi7 is coming soon and they let the low end vendor have some of the wifi6e chips.

It support 2x2 mimo on 160mhz wide channels on the 6g radio. This is what most end devices that support wifi6e do so having say 3x3 or 4x4 mimo doesn't matter if the end device also does not support.

The only real downside to tenda stuff is they do not patch their software much. Since wifi6e has now been out for quite a while there are not as many bugs anyway.

That is not what the title asks about. That router wouldn't fit your title requirements ...

 

[jeffy9987]

after speaking to an isp rep they explained that they will install a modem so i can use standard routers
