Weak Wi-Fi in the bedroom or basement stops costing you calls and game nights once the Tenda A18 is plugged in halfway to the dead zone. Two external antennas and dual-band 2.4G/5G do the reaching, and a 100 Mbps LAN port connects a TV or console on a cable. One plug, no new wiring.
Extend your Wi-Fi coverage to dead zones with AC1200 dual-band speeds and a built-in LAN port
- weak Wi-Fi in far rooms
- dead zones in the home
- need for wired connection to TV or console
- dual-band congestion on 2.4G only
Wi-Fi that finally reaches the far room
Stop losing calls and buffering in the bedroom or basement. Plug in one compact extender midway and get a steadier signal where you actually sit.
Two antennas, two bands, one plug

Two antennas reach the back rooms
Two external antennas on a dual-band AC1200 unit push the signal into rooms the router cannot cover well. Both 2.4G and 5G run on the same unit, so a crowded 2.4G band does not leave you stuck with one slow option.

A LAN port for the TV or console
The built-in 100 Mbps LAN port takes one wired device directly. Run an Ethernet cable from the back of the unit to the TV or console, and that device stops sharing the air with everything else in the house.

Plug in, press WPS, done
No mounting and no second cable run. The unit plugs into a wall outlet, the Signal LED shows the link status, and the box includes EU and US plug pins for either outlet type.
Four numbers that set the job
- 2External antennas on the unit
- 100 MbpsWired LAN port for one device
- 78 mmAntenna length
- 58 x 48 x 80 mmCompact body size
Plug in halfway, press WPS, done
- 1Find the midpoint
Pick a wall outlet roughly halfway between the router and the dead zone, where your phone still shows a solid signal from the router.
- 2Choose the plug pins
Snap the EU or US pins onto the unit until they seat flush, then plug it into the outlet.
- 3Press WPS on both
Press WPS on the router, then press the WPS button on the extender. Watch the WPS LED while it pairs.
- 4Check the far room
Wait for the Signal LED to settle, then run a video call or stream in the room you use. If the signal is still weak, move the unit one outlet closer to the router.

Your far room deserves a real signal
The bar that disappears
Your phone shows one bar in the bedroom, and the video call freezes mid-sentence. It keeps happening. Moving the router helps for a day, then the dead zone comes back.
One plug, halfway there
The Tenda A18 is a compact plug-in unit measuring 58 x 48 x 80 mm. Plug it into a wall outlet halfway between the router and the dead zone. There is nothing to mount and no cable to run.
The room you actually use
Calls hold steady where you sit. Two external antennas and dual-band 2.4G/5G give the signal more ways to reach you. When the TV or console needs a wired link, the 100 Mbps LAN port is right there.
What to expect, step by step
- First usePlugged in and paired
Plug the unit midway between your router and the dead zone, press WPS on both devices and watch the Signal LED settle.
- 3 usesChecking the far room
Test the room you use most with a video call or stream. If the signal is still weak, move the unit one outlet closer to the router.
- 30 daysSettled into daily use
The unit usually stays in the same outlet day to day once the room you care about holds a steady connection.

Questions and answers
The unit repeats whatever signal it can hear from your router, so placement matters more than the brand. Plug it where your phone still shows a solid bar from the router, roughly halfway to the dead zone. Walls and distance decide the rest, so test the spot before you settle in.
The plug pins are interchangeable, and the box includes both an EU set and a US set. Snap on the one that matches your outlet and slide it in until it seats flush.
The housing is matte ribbed plastic with a ventilation grille. It sits in one outlet, so the thing to watch is airflow. Keep the grille clear and the unit stays out of your way.
If one room is the problem, a plug-in extender costs far less than a full mesh kit and needs no new cables. The LAN port adds a wired option for the TV or console on top of that. For a whole house with several weak rooms, a mesh setup makes more sense. Browse other wifi signal booster options if you want to compare.
Yes. The 100 Mbps port takes one wired device, such as a game console, a laptop or a keyboard with a port, as the rear view shows.
