Product Features

High-Speed Dual-Band Wi-Fi Performance

The Tenda i24 supports simultaneous dual-band operation with speeds up to 300Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867Mbps on 5GHz, ensuring a total throughput of 1167Mbps. This allows high-speed access for bandwidth-intensive applications like HD video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud computing.

MU-MIMO Technology for Efficient Connectivity

Equipped with Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology, the i24 enables efficient data transmission to multiple devices at once—ideal for high-density environments such as hotels, offices, and classrooms.

Ceiling-Mounted Design for Wide Coverage

Featuring a sleek, low-profile ceiling design, the i24 blends seamlessly into professional environments while optimizing Wi-Fi signal distribution. Its built-in 4dBi omni-directional antennas ensure wide and consistent coverage throughout open spaces.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) for Easy Deployment

The i24 supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power supply, allowing both data and power to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, eliminates the need for additional power outlets, and supports flexible long-distance deployment.

Centralized Management with Tenda AC Controller

When paired with a Tenda Access Controller, multiple i24 units can be configured, upgraded, and monitored centrally. This ensures efficient network maintenance and seamless roaming for users moving across different AP zones.

Adjustable Transmission Power & VLAN Management

The i24 allows administrators to adjust transmission power to suit specific deployment areas, reducing interference and ensuring optimal performance. VLAN tagging per SSID enables secure network segmentation for employees, guests, and IoT devices.

Robust Security and Access Control

The i24 supports multiple encryption and security protocols, including WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK, as well as MAC address-based access control. Network administrators can also manage client isolation and RSSI thresholds to maintain connection quality and prevent network abuse.

High Client Capacity

Designed for high-density environments, the i24 can support up to 128 clients per band—providing reliable connectivity for a total of 256 simultaneous users across dual bands.

Smart Management and Diagnostic Tools

The i24 includes web-based management, ping and traceroute diagnostics, and automatic scheduled reboot features. Administrators can upgrade firmware, back up configurations, or restore system settings locally or via the AC controller.
