• 867 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1200 class

Overview

"V1.1" and "10033208" is silkscreened on the top of the board in the FCC photos.

• Web GUI: http://tendawifi.com

According to the User Manual, only the Tenda AC10U model has a USB port.

The Product Similarity Declaration document says,

• "The model of AC10U's Power is 12Vdc 1.5A, with a USB port and circuit.
• The model of AC10's Power is 12Vdc 1A, without a USB port and circuit.

The difference of two models just are adapter power, USB port and circuit. The rest are same.

The difference between the two models has no effect on the power of prototype."

Serial Recovery

Unbrick procedure

• Connect router to PC via serial (CH340, PL2303, etc.)

If you don't know GND, RX, TX see below image. YOU DON'T NEED VCC!!!

• Before power up, press RST/WPS button and hold it, then connect the power.

You should hold RST/WPS for about 15 secs since you connected the power,

in order to enter "disaster mode".

• Connect cable between WAN1 port and your computer network card.

For that connection set IP 192.168.1.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0

- you don't need to fill out gateway.

• Download Tftpd32/Tftpd64 from here: tftpd32 download

(In my case I've used the portable version of Tftpd64 - v4.62)

• Open Tftpd32/Tftpd64; Server interfaces → select your connection,

the one with IP 192.168.1.100.

• Select Tftp Client tab; Host: 192.168.1.6, Port: 69, Local file:

*SELECT YOUR FIRMWARE*, Remote file: *LEAVE EMPTY*,

Block Size: Default and press "Put".
