AC10 is an AC1200 dual-band Gigabit wireless router from Tenda, built for households that need true Gigabit wired speeds alongside solid dual-band WiFi performance. With full Gigabit Ethernet ports and a comprehensive software feature set, this router is a meaningful step up from Tenda’s Fast Ethernet models.

The AC10 delivers combined WiFi throughput up to 1167Mbps, split across 867Mbps on the 5GHz band and 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, using IEEE 802.11ac wave2 standards. Unlike many routers in its class, the AC10 features one 10/100/1000Mbps WAN port and three 10/100/1000Mbps LAN ports, giving wired devices — game consoles, PCs, NAS drives — genuine Gigabit throughput rather than being capped at 100Mbps.

Powered by a 1GHz CPU with 32MB of RAM, the AC10 is equipped with four 6dBi external antennas for solid coverage throughout a typical home. Internet connection support covers PPPoE, dynamic IP, and static IP, with automatic access detection and broadband account automatic transfer that simplifies setup by pulling over settings from a previous router.

Network protocol support spans both IPv4 and IPv6, and the AC10 offers four distinct operating modes — Wireless Router Mode, AP Mode, Universal Repeater Mode, and WISP Mode — giving it flexibility to serve different roles depending on a household’s networking setup.

Security is notably more comprehensive on the AC10 than on Tenda’s entry-level models, including a built-in firewall with ICMP flood attack defense, TCP flood attack defense, UDP flood attack defense, and WAN ping blocking, alongside WPA2-PSK wireless encryption and WPS fast encryption setup. Parental controls extend beyond basic client filtering to include URL filtering and time limits, giving parents finer control over what content children can access and when.

Special features round out the AC10’s software package: guest network isolation, IPTV support, signal adjustment, smart WiFi scheduling, smart power saving, and smart LED on/off controls. The router is managed through the Tenda App, with support for PPPoE credential cloning, MAC address cloning, configuration backup and restore, and local firmware upgrades.

Measuring 220 x 141.5 x 49mm, the AC10 operates across a 0°C to 40°C temperature range and carries CE, FCC, and RoHS certification. For households that want genuine Gigabit wired performance alongside dependable dual-band WiFi and a robust firewall, the AC10 offers strong value without stepping up to a premium router.
