The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interface is the PoE-powered interface and requires a compatible IEEE 802.3at PoE power source. The additional Ethernet interface supports up to 1 Gbps. The maximum 5010 Mbps wireless rate is the combined theoretical rate of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Actual performance depends on client capabilities, configuration and wireless conditions. Wi-Fi 7 features such as Multi-Link Operation require compatible Wi-Fi 7 client devices. IEEE 802.11k/v/r fast roaming is intended for compatible multi-access-point deployments and compatible wireless clients. Tenda lists up to 256 associated wireless clients and recommends up to 100 clients for this access point. Tenda CloudFi cloud and app management require the corresponding Tenda management services and network connectivity. Please to review Q: What Wi-Fi standard does the Tenda i36 support?
