Review Tenda RX27 Pro WiFi 6E Router Review: Budget Router with Modest Speeds

[Admin]

Offering Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for under $150, the Tenda RX27 Pro is a solid value. However, its 6-GHz speeds are disappointing.

It's 2.4GHz speed of 861mbps is correct, the 600mbps you mentioned is for WiFi 4, this router uses WiFi 6 on 2.4GHz which supports speeds of 861mbps and even higher.

For what it’s worth, the Tenda RX27 claims to offer maximums of 861 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 2402 Mbps on each of the 5 GHz and the 6 GHz bands. The 861 number is noteworthy considering that IEEE considers the theoretical maximum speed on 2.4 GHz to be 600 Mbps. Perhaps Tenda knows something that IEEE does not.

It is pretty disappointing that a tech writer does not know 256-QAM and 1024-QAM were codified for 2.4GHz back in Wifi-6, then references the Wifi-4 standard to prove their point. While Wifi-5 did not change 2.4GHz, it's really not strange for 6E to follow the standard established back in 2014 for Wifi-6.

All I'm saying is even ChatGPT probably knows that.

tom's keeps reviewing routers without a USB port. Who in their right mind would consider buying a router without a USB port? It makes no sense.

A router like this, that offers 861 Mbs speeds from the 2.4 Ghz band is simply a 3-stream Wifi 6 router that supports 1024-QAM, just like a 4-stream Wifi 6 router offers a linkrate of 1148 Mbs - various models from Asus come to mind.
