Tenda Nova MX21 Pro Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Router

MX21 Pro is a high‑performance mesh Wi‑Fi system designed to deliver lightning-fast internet for medium to large homes. Built around Tenda Mesh technology, this 2‑pack creates a distributed network across your living spaces, eliminating dead zones and delivering reliable coverage where you need it most. With support for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax and the advanced capabilities of Wi‑Fi 6E, MX21 Pro brings a new level of speed, capacity, and seamless roaming to networks that house multiple devices—from 4K streaming and online gaming to smart home ecosystems. The result is a connected home where every room stays in sync, every device stays connected, and your whole family experiences stable performance without interruption.

• Wi‑Fi 6E technology for faster speeds and lower latency. MX21 Pro uses the latest Wi‑Fi 6E standard, unlocking the 6 GHz band to reduce interference, increase capacity, and deliver smoother performance for demanding tasks like 4K/8K streaming, cloud gaming, and video conferencing, even in crowded environments.
• Extensive coverage with a 2‑pack system. The MX21 Pro two‑pack is capable of covering up to 520 m2 (about 5600 ft2), making it ideal for multi‑story homes with thick walls and multiple rooms. The mesh setup ensures consistent signal strength as you move through hallways, basements, and upper floors.
• Tenda Mesh technology for a truly distributed network. Each node communicates with the others to form a single, unified network. This intelligent path selection minimizes backhaul congestion and optimizes routing, so your devices connect to the strongest node available without manual intervention.
• Tri‑band performance within a scalable mesh system. With 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands (Wi‑Fi 6E), MX21 Pro can allocate traffic efficiently, maintain fast speeds for high‑bandwidth devices, and optionally use a dedicated backhaul path to keep consumer devices responsive even during peak usage.
• Easy setup and centralized control via the Tenda app. Configure, monitor, and adjust settings with a user‑friendly app. Create guest networks, enforce parental controls, and manage connected devices from a single, intuitive interface. The MX21 Pro is designed for quick setup so you can get online in minutes and adjust as your home grows.

Frequently asked questions

What is Wi‑Fi 6E and why should I choose MX21 Pro?

Wi‑Fi 6E expands into the 6 GHz band, providing more airwaves to handle more devices with less interference. This results in higher real‑world speeds, lower latency, and improved reliability in busy homes. MX21 Pro brings Wi‑Fi 6E to a scalable mesh system, enabling fast, seamless coverage across medium to large residences without sacrificing performance as you add devices and activities to your network.

Can I expand the system with more MX21 Pro nodes later?

Yes. The MX21 Pro mesh system is designed to be scalable. You can add additional MX21 Pro nodes to extend coverage further or to strengthen signal in problem areas, maintaining a single network name and seamless roaming for all connected devices.

How many devices can MX21 Pro support at once?

MX21 Pro is built to handle multiple devices simultaneously thanks to Wi‑Fi 6E and mesh routing. In practical terms, it can support numerous smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, tablets, gaming consoles, and smart home gadgets at the same time, with each device receiving reliable throughput and reduced contention compared with older Wi‑Fi standards.

Is there a wired backhaul option?

Yes. While the MX21 Pro relies on wireless mesh for flexibility, it also supports wired Ethernet backhaul where available. Using wired backhaul can improve overall network performance and reliability, especially in larger homes or spaces with challenging wireless conditions.

What about setup and ongoing management?

The MX21 Pro is designed for easy setup via the Tenda app. Once configured, you can monitor network status, manage connected devices, set up guest networks, and apply parental controls from a centralized interface. This makes it simple to adapt your home network as needs change.
