Trendnet Tew-827dru

Product details

The AC2600 StreamBoost MU-MIMO WiFi Router from TRENDnet, model TEW-827DRU, is designed for use in a busy home. It creates two extreme quad stream WiFi networks - a 1.733 Mbps WiFi AC and a 800 Mbps concurrent WiFi N network. MU-MIMO technology processes multiple streams of data simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance when multiple devices have access to the network. Qualcomm StreamBoost technology favours low-latency games and voice streams and shapes network traffic to optimise each connection. It also graphically displays all traffic with connected devices/apps. Use the Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 3.0 ports to further expand the ultra-high performance network for home use.

Simultaneously running quad-stream WiFi networks and all gigabit ports seamlessly connect connected devices and streams with high bandwidth, e.g. 4K video.

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

StreamBoost minimizes latency for games, video and voice streams to prevent stuttering and delays due to high-bandwidth traffic, such as torrents.

  • Positivenutzt ganzes 5-GHz-Band
  • Positivebilligstes Gerät im Test
  • NegativeIPv6 in Firmware defekt

MU-MIMO funktioniert in der Praxis tatsächlich. Aber die Technik zeigte in unserem Test mit verschiedenen Routern deutliche Performance-Unterschiede. Allein anhand des von uns gemessenen MU-MIMO-Gewinns (siehe Ergebnistabelle auf S. 144) sollten Sie nicht wählen, denn daran kann sich durch kommende Firmware-Updates noch einiges ändern...

Der TEW-827DRU zeigt gute WLAN-Transferraten und bietet DFS im 5-GHz-Band. Die Bedienung des Geräts ist noch etwas zäh, das Firmware-Update sollte von Trendnet automatisiert werden.
