Tenda vs. Orbi: Wi-Fi & Mesh for the whole house

I compared Tenda MW3, 3pcs (AC1200), with Orbi RBK43, 3pcs. (AC2200) in a 3-storey building with the following applications to measure the signal and speed during the week. ISP: Xfinity (175 Mbps) Wi-Fi Signal Force Measurement App v1.3 Speedtest App v4.2.3.47088 Samsung Galaxy S8 (data disabled) Total points measured on 3 floors = 13 points Below is the average result: TendaSignal strength: 82% ( Max/ Min: 99%/63%) in dBm: -60 (Max/Min: -70/-44) WiFi speed: 347 Mbps Internet speed: 64 Mbps (Max/Min: 93/43) Orbi signal strength : 97% (Max/Min: 99%/63%) in dBm: -55 (Max/Min: -69/-39) WiFi speed: 258 Mbps Internet speed: 109 Mbps (Max/Min: 179 /43) Impression: Tenda has a very good WLAN connection between satellites and connected devices. But Orbi is characterized by the real speed of the Internet, which is close to the speed of the ISP. Still using Tenda for another slow internet connection less than 50Mbps. Still going strong! I will buy Tenda Mesh again for these applications

Cons
  • Minor issues
