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.

AC3200 - For Busy Homes

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.

AC3200 - Smart Connect

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.

AC3200 - Protection

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.

Easy Setup

Get up and running in minutes with the intuitive guided setup

Simultaneous AC3200 Tri Band

Three concurrent WiFi bands maximize device networking speeds: two separate extreme performance 1300 Mbps Wireless AC networks and a 600 Mbps Wireless N network

Smart Connect Technology

Smart Connect technology virtually combines the two separate WiFi AC bands, so that only one WiFi AC network is visible, while managing each band individually. Slower and faster WiFi AC devices are grouped together and automatically assigned to the two separate WiFi AC bands, thereby optimizing networking speeds

Pre-Encrypted Wireless

For your convenience the AC3200 router's WiFi bands are pre-encrypted with their own unique passwords

Wireless Coverage

High performance amplifiers and six high gain antennas maximize wireless coverage

Gigabit Ports

Gigabit ports support high performance wired connections

USB 3.0/2.0 Share Ports

Plug in a USB 3.0 flash or storage drive into the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 or the USB 2.0 share port

Guest Network

Create an isolated network for guest internet access only

Parental Controls

Control access to specific websites

One Touch Connection

Connect to the AC3200 router at the touch of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button

Targeted Beamforming

Increased real-time performance by directing stronger wireless signals to your specific location
