TRENDnet's AC2600 StreamBoost MU-MIMO WiFi Router, model TEW-827DRU, is built to perform in a busy connected home. It generates two extreme quad-stream WiFi networks—a 1,733 Mbps WiFi AC and a concurrent 800 Mbps WiFi N network. MU-MIMO technology processes multiple data streams simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance when multiple devices access the network. Qualcomm® StreamBoost technology prioritizes low latency gaming and voice streams, shapes network traffic to optimize each connected experience, and graphically displays all connected device/app traffic. Use the Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 3.0 share ports to further extend an extreme performance home network.

Two people are lying on a carpeted floor in a living room. One person is holding a tablet, while the other is holding a smartphone. They are both resting on their stomachs, with their heads propped up by their hands. The background shows a white couch and some household items, suggesting a casual and relaxed atmosphere, possibly indicating leisure time or shared activities involving digital devices.

Extreme WiFi

Concurrent quad-stream WiFi networks and all Gigabit ports seamlessly network connected devices and high bandwidth streams such as 4K video.

A family is gathered around a kitchen counter. Two children are seated, eating breakfast from bowls, while an adult stands nearby holding a cup. Another adult is working on a laptop in the background. The counter has various breakfast items, including a glass of orange juice and a jar of jam. The scene suggests a busy morning routine in a home setting.

Built For Busy Homes

MU-MIMO technology processes multiple data streams simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance when multiple devices access the network.

Two individuals are seated on a couch, each holding a video game controller. The person on the left is wearing a yellow top and beige shorts, while the person on the right is wearing an orange top and light-colored pants. Both appear to be focused on the game they are playing. The background shows a light-colored wall and part of a window, suggesting they are in a living room setting.

Optimized Gaming

StreamBoostminimizes latency for gaming, video, and voice streams to eliminate stutter and lag caused by high bandwidth traffic such as torrents.

*Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions. For maximum performance of up to 1.733 Gbps use with a 1.733 Gbps 802.11ac wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 800 Mbps, use with an 800 Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) requires the use of multiple MU-MIMO enabled wireless adapters.
** Due to regulatory requirements, the wireless channels specified cannot be statically assigned, but will be available within the available wireless channels when set to auto.
