TRENDnet's AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Router with StreamBoost™ Technology, model TEW-824DRU, is built to perform in a busy connected home. It generates two concurrent WiFi networks—a 1,300 Mbps WiFi AC and a 450 Mbps WiFi N 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/application traffic. Use the Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB share port to further extend an extreme performance digital network.

A person in a yellow and black striped shirt is shown in two sections. In the left section, labeled Without StreamBoost, the person holds a game controller above their head with a frustrated expression. In the right section, labeled With StreamBoost, the same person is shown holding the game controller in a normal playing position, appearing focused. The image demonstrates the improved gaming experience with StreamBoost technology.

Optimized Gaming

When latency is the difference between winning and losing, Streamboost has your back. It helps eliminate hated stutter and lag with a laser focus on providing the lowest latency possible. When high bandwidth traffic is killing other networks, Streamboost thrives by prioritizing gaming, video, and voice over other non-critical data streams.

The left section, labeled Without StreamBoost, shows a chaotic traffic jam with many cars stuck and unable to move freely. The right section, labeled With StreamBoost, depicts a smooth flow of traffic with cars moving quickly and efficiently. The contrast between the two sections highlights the effectiveness of StreamBoost in managing and optimizing traffic flow.

Traffic Shaping

StreamBoost dynamically shapes network traffic, delivering an optimized user experience, as applications and devices become active. Out of the Box, Streamboost automatically identifies, classifies, and intelligently manages all traffic. No user management is required. However, users can choose to manually override default device priority.

The screen displays a parental control interface for managing internet usage. The top section shows a list of applications and their respective bandwidth usage on a device labeled PC1. The applications listed include YouTube, Web, Web Video, and Bittorrent, each with a progress bar indicating data usage and a status icon. Below this, two graphs illustrate bandwidth usage over time for different devices, with the left graph labeled Bandwidth from Devices and the right graph labeled Bandwidth to Devices. The left sidebar includes a logo and the text Parental Control and Qualcomm Streamboost.

App + Device Aware

With more devices and applications downloading, streaming, and playing than ever before, today's home network needs a smarter way to deliver the best online experience. StreamBoost does just that. Constant updates provide the ability to identify new-to-market applications and devices and maintain an optimized experience as your home network changes.

A network traffic mapping diagram for a TEW-824DRU router includes various connected devices such as PC 1, a smartphone, a tablet, a Roku device, PC 2, and an Xbox. Each device is connected to the router, and the diagram displays the data transfer rates in bps or Kbps for each connection. PC 1 and the Roku device show 0 bps, the smartphone shows 1.73 Mbps and 54.90 Kbps, the tablet shows 859.95 Kbps and 22.01 Kbps, PC 2 shows 11.48 Kbps and 34.82 Kbps, and the Xbox shows 0 bps. The router is connected to the internet via a WAN port labeled 1000 Mbps.

Traffic Mapping

See your smart phones, tablets, computers, game consoles, and all other connected devices graphically mapped with their respective upload and download bandwidth usage. Select a device such as your computer to see detailed network loading of all of its applications and programs. This powerful network map feature is a great troubleshooting tool.

StreamBoost Traffic Shaping includes four main features: Optimized Gaming, which prioritizes latency for gaming and video to eliminate stutter and lag caused by network traffic; Traffic Shaping, which intelligently and automatically allocates the optimal amount of bandwidth for each network connection; App and Device Aware, which seamlessly recognizes and manages bandwidth allocation for both applications and hardware devices; and Traffic Mapping, which allows users to explore a map of all connected network devices and applications and their respective real-time traffic usage.
The device supports Wireless AC with speeds up to 1300 Mbps for HD 3D movies, HD gaming, and music. Wireless N supports up to 450 Mbps for surfing, web chat, and email. The router has several ports including USB 2.0, WPS, Gigabit, WAN, power on/off button, and power ports.
