Next-Generation WiFi6 Performance for High-Density Environments

The Tenda i26 is a cutting-edge AX1500 WiFi6 ceiling mount access point designed to deliver next-generation wireless performance for small to medium-sized enterprises, hotels, dormitories, schools, and other high-density environments. Adopting the latest 802.11ax WiFi6 technology with 2.4GHz and 5GHz concurrency, Tenda i26 achieves wireless speeds of up to 1500Mbps (300Mbps on 2.4GHz + 1201Mbps on 5GHz)—a remarkable 38% speed increase compared to mainstream WiFi5 AC1200 ceiling-mounted APs. This next-generation technology ensures faster speeds, lower latency, and a superior experience for all your connected devices.

OFDMA and MU-MIMO for High-Density Device Support

Tenda i26 is equipped with advanced wireless technologies including OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output). OFDMA allows the AP to communicate with multiple clients simultaneously within a single channel, significantly improving efficiency and reducing latency. Combined with MU-MIMO, Tenda i26 supports access to more terminal devices, enabling multiple users to enjoy high-speed internet access simultaneously with minimal lag—perfect for crowded environments with dozens of connected devices.

Superior Coverage with High-Power Signal Amplifiers

Tenda i26 features full-band 2.4GHz/5GHz high-power signal amplifiers and built-in 4dBi high-gain antennas, providing wider coverage, stronger wall penetration, and stable WiFi signals in every corner of your facility. Whether you’re deploying in a multi-story hotel, a sprawling office, or a densely packed dormitory, the i26 ensures reliable connectivity throughout the entire space. With support for up to 256 associated wireless clients and 50 recommended for optimal performance, Tenda i26 handles even the most demanding deployments with ease.

Elegant Ceiling Design with Hidden Ports

Tenda i26 features a sleek, compact design measuring just Φ176×43.5mm, making it perfectly suited for ceiling installation in any environment. Its hidden port design allows network cables to be connected from the ceiling to the network port concealed at the back of the AP, ensuring a neat, tidy, and professional installation—no unsightly cables or bulky connectors. The AP supports both ceiling and wall mounting, giving you flexibility to choose the best installation method for your specific site requirements. The round mounting bracket design allows for easy clockwise rotation installation, simplifying deployment.

Intelligent Wireless Optimization for Interference-Free Performance

In multi-AP deployments, overlapping channels and excessive power can cause signal interference. Tenda i26 supports wireless optimization through Tenda’s AC controller/router, which automatically plans channels and power levels for all APs. This intelligent feature intelligently reduces signal interference between adjacent APs, ensuring your entire wireless network operates at high speed and optimal performance—even in dense deployment scenarios.

Versatile Management Options for Easy Administration

The i26 offers flexible management options to suit your needs. It can be managed locally via an intuitive web interface, remotely through Tenda CloudFi cloud management, or conveniently via the Tenda CloudFi mobile app. It also integrates seamlessly with Tenda gateway management solutions (G300-F, G0-8G-PoE, G0-5G-PoE, G1) for centralized control. The i26 supports 802.11k/v/r fast roaming, ensuring seamless handoff as users move throughout your facility—perfect for voice-over-WiFi and real-time applications.
