Tenda AC5 AC1200 Smart Dual-Band WiFi Router

A dual-band router broadcasts two separate Wi-Fi networks simultaneously — 2.4GHz for longer range and 5GHz for faster speeds at shorter distances. This lets you connect smart TVs, laptops, and gaming devices to the faster 5GHz band while older devices like smart bulbs use 2.4GHz, reducing congestion and improving overall speed for everyone.

Yes. The AC5 has a Gigabit WAN port capable of accepting speeds up to 1000Mbps from your fiber ONT. The 5GHz band delivers up to 867Mbps wirelessly, so your high-speed fiber connection is not bottlenecked at the router. It is well suited for StormFiber, Nayatel, and FiberNation plans up to 200Mbps.

The AC5 can comfortably handle 20–30 connected devices simultaneously for typical home use. With beamforming technology directing signal to active devices, performance remains stable even with multiple phones, laptops, TVs, and smart home devices connected at the same time.

Yes. The Tenda WiFi app (Android and iOS) lets you set up the router, view connected devices, control guest network access, set parental controls, and run speed tests — all from your phone. Remote management is also available for checking your home network while you are away.

The AC5 is rated for coverage up to approximately 100–120 square metres — suitable for most 3–4 marla apartments and small bungalows. For larger homes or multi-storey houses with thick concrete walls common in Pakistan, consider adding a Tenda A9 range extender or upgrading to the Tenda nova EX3 mesh system for whole-home coverage.
