Tenda F3 Router | Wholesale for ISPs and WISPs | Upowa SA
Every fibre or fixed wireless installation ends at one point. That point is the router in your customer’s home. If the router fails, your team takes the callback. As a result, the router you choose affects both your costs and your reputation.
The Tenda F3 Router gives internet service providers a simple answer. It is affordable, quick to set up and easy to support. The Tenda MW3 mesh system helps you solve coverage complaints and earn extra revenue.
Upowa is an authorised Tenda distributor in South Africa. We supply ISPs, WISPs, installers, resellers and retailers across South Africa and the SADC region.
Why the Tenda F3 Router Suits ISP Installations
Most ISPs supply a router with each new connection. Therefore, routers quickly become a volume product. You need a model that is cost effective to bundle and simple to install. It also needs to stay online without constant support calls.
The Tenda F3 Router meets these needs. It is a 2.4GHz N300 router with three external 5dBi antennas. It has one WAN port and three LAN ports. As a result, it handles streaming, browsing and video calls for a typical household.
Key Benefits of the Tenda F3 Router for Installers
First, the low unit cost lets you bundle it with entry-level packages. This keeps your margins healthy on each installation.
Second, setup is quick. Technicians can configure it through a web page or the Tenda app. This means less time on site.
Third, it supports PPPoE, dynamic IP and static IP. Together, these cover the way most South African providers deliver service.
Finally, it gives customers useful tools. For example, they get bandwidth control, parental controls, a guest network and Wi-Fi scheduling.
Matching the Tenda F3 Router to the Right Package
The F3 uses 10/100 Ethernet ports. So, it works best on packages up to about 100Mbps. For faster fibre plans, we also stock the Tenda AC8 AC1200 Gigabit router. This way, you can match your hardware to each price tier.
The Tenda F3 Router as WISP Customer Premises Equipment
In a fixed wireless setup, an outdoor radio receives the signal from the tower. A cable then carries it into the building. However, the customer still needs an indoor router for Wi-Fi. The F3 fills this role well. It sits behind the outdoor radio and handles Wi-Fi, DHCP and basic security.
The F3 also offers WISP, Universal Repeater and Access Point modes. As a result, installers can adapt it on site. They can connect to a hotspot, extend a signal or run a simple access point. Because one model covers several jobs, your vans carry fewer stock lines.
Pair the Tenda F3 Router with the Tenda MW3 Mesh
Coverage complaints are among the most common ISP support calls. Often, the connection itself works well. Instead, the home is too large or has thick walls. Consequently, one router cannot reach every room.
The Tenda MW3 AC1200 mesh Wi-Fi system solves this problem. It uses dual-band mesh technology to create one network across the property. Each unit covers up to about 100 square metres. Customers can move between rooms without losing their connection. Setup also takes just minutes through the Tenda Wi-Fi app.
For your business, the MW3 turns a complaint into a sale. Rather than sending a technician, your support team can offer a mesh upgrade. You can sell it once-off or add it to the monthly account. Likewise, resellers and retailers can stock it for customers with weak Wi-Fi.
