The single Gigabit Ethernet interface carries both network data and IEEE 802.3af PoE power. A compatible IEEE 802.3af PoE power source is required for installation. The stated 300 Mbps and 1201 Mbps wireless rates are theoretical values and actual performance depends on client capability, interference, configuration and installation conditions. IEEE 802.11k/v/r fast roaming requires compatible clients and an appropriately configured multi-access-point network. Tenda specifies support for up to 256 associated clients and recommends up to 50 clients for the i26. RF optimization and inter-AP load balancing require compatible Tenda controller or gateway functionality. The access point supports both ceiling and wall installation according to Tenda's official produ documentation. Please to review Q: What wireless speeds does the Tenda i26 support?
