If you aren’t a power user and you just need an Internet connection in your home (or small office) investing in an expensive high-end router is a total overkill. Most people are just browsing the Web, watching YouTube videos, uploading pictures to social media, gaming from time to time, etc. These are regular tasks that don’t require a top-of-the-line router that offers tons of features that you’ll not use even once.

Still, nowadays the Wi-Fi 6 standard is the new normal and the market is loaded with a huge amount of different devices that are based on this protocol. In this review, we’ll have a look at the Tenda TX2 Pro. This is an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 router that is meant for home and small office usage. We looked at the specs of this thing and we can tell that it’s not a barebone device – it offers a useful amount of extras for its price (which is on the low side and that’s good).

The Tenda product impresses on paper with high-performance FEMs (WLAN Front-End Modules) and 5 external 6dBi high-gain antennas which should help to enhance the wireless coverage in places with many rooms and walls which are the public enemy number one when it comes to Wi-Fi signal quality. So, specs-wise, this router looks like a bargain, and were happy to see extras like OFDMA, MU-MIMO, a Gigabit WAN port, and three Gigabit LAN ports. Watching and streaming in 4K should be a piece of cake task for this fella, but let’s check what else it has to offer,
