TRENDnet's AC1200 WiFi Range Extender does 867 Mbps WiFi AC

TRENDnet  announced today the availability of its AC1200 WiFi Range Extender, model TEW-822DRE. TRENDnet's AC1200 WiFi Range Extender provides incredible coverage to significantly reduce wireless network dead spots. 

TRENDnet's AC1200 WiFi Range Extender provides high performance wireless amplifiers and external antennas that broadcast concurrent Wireless AC and Wireless N. The 5 GHz Wireless AC band provides better performance with less interference and has additional non-overlapping channels. Targeted beamforming improves real-time performance by directing the strongest wireless signals to specific devices.

• Extends concurrent WiFi AC and N networks
• AC1200: 867 Mbps WiFi AC + 300 Mbps WiFi N bands*
• Extreme speeds for buffer-free 4K/3D/HD video streaming
• Plugs directly into an electrical outlet
• External antennas and high power amplifiers increase WiFi coverage
• Extender and Access Point modes
• Gigabit wired port

"More and more devices are equipped with Wireless AC capabilities, but one drawback to the 5 GHz Wireless band is its weaker reach," said Evan Davis, senior manager of solutions engineering at TRENDnet. "TRENDnet's AC1200 WiFi Range Extender, paired with an 802.11ac client, assists to improve the range of the less congested 5 GHz band by providing nearly whole-home Wireless AC coverage."

Users simply plug the TEW-822DRE directly into an electrical outlet; the extender blends into most home environments with its off-white housing. This extender offers both extender and access point modes, and it features a gigabit port to extend a high performance connection to any wired device.
