TRENDnet's AC2600 MU-MIMO WiFi Router, model TEW-827DRU, is built to perform in a busy connected home. It generates two quad-stream WiFi networks—a 1,733Mbps WiFi AC and a concurrent 800Mbps WiFi N network. MU-MIMO technology processes multiple data streams simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance when multiple devices access the network. Use the gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 3.0 share port to further extend network connectivity.

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.

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.

A person is sitting on a lounge chair in a dimly lit room, using a laptop. The person is wearing a cap and casual clothing. The background shows large windows with a view of a cityscape. The scene suggests a relaxed environment, possibly at home or in a modern office setting. The lighting creates a calm and focused atmosphere.

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.

The illustration shows a house floor plan highlighting the wireless signal coverage of a TRENDnet router. The floor plan includes various rooms like a kitchen, dining area, and living room, with furniture outlined. The router is depicted in two locations within the house, each emitting concentric circles representing the wireless signal range. The router has four antennas and is labeled TRENDnet, emphasizing its ability to provide wireless coverage throughout the house.

*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.
