The PoE-powered Gigabit Ethernet interface requires a compatible IEEE 802.3at PoE source. The second Ethernet interface supports 10/100/1000 Mbps wired connectivity without being identified as the PoE input in Tenda's current parameter table. The 160 MHz channel option is available for supported wireless configurations and requires compatible client devices. The maximum wireless rates are theoretical values and actual throughput depends on client capabilities, interference, network configuration and operating conditions. IEEE 802.11k/v/r roaming requires compatible wireless clients and an appropriately configured multi-access-point network. Tenda specifies up to 254 associated wireless clients and recommends 80 clients for the i29. Tenda CloudFi cloud and app management require network access and the corresponding Tenda management service. Please to review Q: What wireless speeds does the Tenda i29 support?
