Description
TRENDnet’s AC3200 extreme performance Tri Band Wireless Router, model TEW-828DRU, produces three concurrent wireless networks—two separate 1300 Mbps Wireless AC networks and a 600 Mbps Wireless N network. Smart Connect technology automatically groups slower and faster AC devices to separate WiFi AC bands. High performance Gigabit ports, a 1 GHz dual core processor, six high gain antennas, high power amplifiers, and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 share port deliver extraordinary networking speed and range.

For Busy Homes Three concurrent extreme WiFi networks and all Gigabit ports seamlessly handle the explosion of connected home devices and high bandwidth streams such as 4K video. |
Smart Connect Technology Smart Connect automatically manages both 1.3 Gbps WiFi AC bands by grouping slower devices on one band and faster devices on the highest performing band. |
Network Protection Tools TRENDnet includes tools to help protect your home network including parental controls, guest networks isolated from your devices/content, and pre-encrypted WiFi. |
