The unit provides one Gigabit Ethernet interface, which is also the IEEE 802.3at PoE power input. A compatible IEEE 802.3at PoE source is required to power the access point. The 160 MHz channel option requires compatible wireless clients and appropriate radio configuration. The stated 574 Mbps and 2402 Mbps figures are theoretical wireless link rates; actual throughput varies according to client hardware, network configuration and wireless conditions. IEEE 802.11k/v/r fast roaming requires compatible clients and an appropriately configured multi-access-point deployment. Tenda specifies support for up to 254 associated clients and recommends up to 60 clients for this model. Tenda CloudFi management requires the corresponding Tenda management service and network connectivity. Please to review Q: What wireless speeds does the Tenda i27 support?
