TRENDnet TEW-824DRU AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Router Review

Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2015-12-15

During testing time and also for two weeks while we have used the router to download all kinds of files from one computer to another or from the Internet via torrents or watching TV shows through streaming, we could say that this new TEW-824DRU model from TRENDnet has proven itself quite stable and we haven’t seen slowdowns which could have resulted in the need of a router reboot. Despite the fact that the router does not have external antennas, we have got decent reception two rooms away but the overall speed was better on the TP-LINK Touch P5. Another interesting feature is DD-WRT firmware support, which can be flashed from the manufacturers' website.

Packaging, A Closer Look

One of the latest TRENDnet routers is the AC1750 Dual-Band which features StreamBoost Technology from Qualcomm (traffic shaping via the web GUI). The product box comes fully sealed:

On one of the box sides we will learn that the product was designed to offer traffic shaping so gaming would not be disturbed if done from other computers in the same time as downloading torrents for example; also, by offering both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks will allow a better separation for different tasks:

The opposite side will list the product features along with the package contents:

We can learn more about the included traffic shaping in the back area of the packaging:

After removing the top layer, we will end up with a smaller container, which includes the router along with its bundle:

A Quick Installation Guide, one User Guide and a Help/Registration leaflet are also provided:

The Quick Installation Guide will show us how to get everything going in multiple languages:
