Tenda 4G03 N300 Wi-Fi 4G LTE Router, Band 28, 2 FE Ports, Mini SIM, failover, up to 32 Devices, 3-Year Warranty

Such a brilliant little router. used with a recent installation with a Digital mixer, (X Air - XR16) works right out the box and the range is excellent. Really pleased with this find and the price is just ridiculously cheap!

Tenda offers a great price for performance for that particular router. You get a nice solid bandwidth for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Much, much, much more stable software than any Broadband Provider router I've had to deal with in the past. Very easy setup and really solid build overall. For that price I was just expecting it to be better than the standard broadband provider router, however Tenda proved me wrong with an amazing experience overall and exceeded my expectations. Especially my WIFI stability is now great, before my devices like PS5 kept losing the 5Ghz signal, now it's strong and solid. Of course get a router that matches your user-case scenario, however for someone like me, where there are only 2 people using the internet in the house and for gaming this is a perfect solution.

Absolutely amazing router, great signal and vastly improves the virgin media crappy hub. The signal for WiFi is amazing (three bedroomed terraced house) large family with many people online at the same time with zero interruptions, so why the low score? The app! It's a major let down and I mean major, when it works its fine actually its pretty good, you can adjust the power of the router to low, medium or max. You can "accelerate the WiFi signal but tbh honest I didn't see any difference so to me it's just a gimmick. You can do other things like blacklist certain devices and parental control but just a few days ago I thought I'd try and put it on low power mode to see if there was any difference, big mistake on my part now the app side is extremely temperamental. I've had to reset it so many times it's frustrating. The app is stuck on some sort of loop where I put all the details in and it just asks for the same info again and again. I tried it with one device then I uninstalled the app from the first device and installed the app on another device but its the same I have no option other than to return it and get a different router

Easy to set up signal is ok not great but for the price it will do.Easy to access the setting with a clear layout if you need to change anything.Up date 07/2023This gave up on us 04/2023 and will not power on got a replacement power supply but still no good.

The first thing to do is have a stable test environment, where you can repeat tests. Also ensure that the 4G router is correctly configured for external antennas.1) First test was to find a repeatable position, where reflections are minimal to movements made in the room.2) Go into the router configuration and enable ONLY External Antennas. Do NOT set to Auto, as both internal/external antennas could be enabled or the router could keep switching between them.3) When fitting antennas, ensure the small SMA coax connector is done up tight and secure. Even slightly loose could mean poor RF connection.4) In the router settings, find a signal strength reading. around -70 dBm is excellent, higher the value the worse the signal strength5) Repeat tests more than once - also remembering that the signal strength indicator can take a few seconds or more, to update. It is not an instant real-time reading.6) Depending on the router, you may need to reboot to initialise the antenna configuration changes.Based on this, I then completed a number of tests using the internal and external antennas. The router was kept in the same position.Internal (typical; -79 dBm Good)External Paddle type (typical: -69 dBm Excellent)External Patch LTE Antenna with RG174 coax (typical: -76 dBm Good)The paddle and patch antenna is directional. Moving them slightly can make a difference. Also rotating from the upright position can also improve, or not, the signal - due to polarisation changes.When using the paddle type antennas, these will make direct RF connection to the wireless in the router.The Patch antennas which typically have a cable using RG174 coax, may well offer, or advertise, high gain but you MUST remember that the coax will be lossy and in fact, you could easily lose 3-6dB due to coax losses.NB. The advertised '35dBi SMA 4G LTE Antenna, SMA Antenna Indoor Network Antenna with Dual Mimo SMA Male Connectors', performed appallingly, as seen above.Finally, depending on where you are sited, signal reflections do exist and sometimes pointing the antennas in a odd angle can provide surprising results. When testing in the hotel, I had a better signal tucked in the rear corner of the room, than by the window.Conclusion, direct Paddle antennas provided the best overall performance. Hope you found this of use.
