Set up your router and modem in minutes. Follow this 7‑step guide for a faster, more secure Wi‑Fi network—ideal for any home or small office.
The one and only WRT.
Tri-Stream 160 technology: Doubles bandwidth from 80 MHz to 160 MHz on all spatial streams.
MU-MIMO: Latest Wireless-AC technology for simultaneously streaming and gaming on multiple devices.
Open source ready with OpenWrt® and DD-WRT®: Easily configure using browser-based configuration utility, or customize with Linux-based Open Source capabilities.
Additional Features:
1.8 GHz DUAL-CORE CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU): Promotes simultaneous high-speed data processing.
SIMULTANEOUS DUAL BAND (2.4 + 5 GHz): Operates on either band to help avoid interference.
USB 3.0 PORT: Share files and add external storage across your network with the USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 offers enhanced speeds over 2.0.
eSATA PORT: Offers added convenience. Also accommodates USB 2.0.
GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS: Transfer data 10x faster than Fast Ethernet, ensuring high-speed connectivity for wired devices.
THE ONE AND ONLY WRT
Bring ultra-fast AC WiFi to your home with the one and only WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Open Source WiFi Router. Equipped with Tri-Stream 160 and premium MU-MIMO technologies, this open-source router delivers blazing-fast, uninterrupted dual-band WiFi speeds to multiple devices at the same time.
DFS CERTIFIED: Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) certification from the FCC not only allows operation at 160MHz enabling Tri-Stream160, but it also triples the channels available at 80MHz, so your router can operate in the clearest airspace that other WiFi routers aren't allowed.
TRI-STREAM TECHNOLOGY: Equipped with innovative Tri-Stream 160 technology, the WRT3200ACM delivers untouched, extreme WiFi speeds that never lag. Not available on other WiFi routers, Tri-Stream 160 effectively doubles the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band to power data-heavy activity with ultra-fast 2.6 Gbps WiFi speeds.
MU-MIMO PROVIDES STUNNING MULTI-DEVICE PERFORMANCE: Thanks to MU-MIMO technology, the WRT3200ACM router can handle even the most bandwidth-intensive environments. MU-MIMO builds upon longtime broadcasting cornerstones--such as spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and scheduling algorithms--to boost overall throughput and distribute WiFi bandwidth fairly between devices. Each connected client device receives its own dedicated data stream, so users won't have to compete with one another for bandwidth. Multiple users can simultaneously engage in 4K video streaming, play online games, and perform other data-intensive tasks without latency or buffering.
OPEN SOURCE FIRMWARE OFFERS ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION
Advanced users can harness the expanded potential of the WRT3200ACM router by customizing with open source firmware. Using packages from established open source distributions like OpenWrt® and DD-WRT®, you can:
