Product Description
The ASUS BRT-AC828 is an AC2600 dual-band WiFi 5 business-class VPN router engineered specifically for small-to-medium businesses (SMB), startup hubs, co-working spaces, and demanding retail storefronts requiring high network concurrency, multi-link internet redundancy, and secure data storage. Housed in a heavy-duty industrial chassis with ventilation grilles optimized for continuous 24/7 operation, the router features four external 3dBi detachable high-gain antennas. The antenna layout combines with high-power RF front ends to deliver up to 1,100 square feet of stable, high-density wireless coverage.
At the center of the router is an enterprise-tier dual-core network processor backed by 512MB of RAM and 256MB of flash storage. Engineered to maintain sustained throughput across dense office environments, the BRT-AC828 supports up to 250 simultaneous client connections without encountering packet collisions or system crashes. Operating across the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless bands with a 4×4 MU-MIMO antenna design, the router delivers aggregated speeds up to 2600 Mbps—comprising 1734 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Airtime Fairness and multi-user MIMO technologies balance channel airtime across legacy and modern devices, ensuring fast response times for cloud CRM platforms, collaborative workplace suites, and VoIP conference calls.
Wired connectivity is tailored for enterprise environments, featuring 2 dedicated Gigabit WAN ports that support both failover and load balancing, alongside WAN Aggregation capability to deliver combined incoming broadband speeds of up to 2 Gbps. Local client infrastructure is supported by 8 dedicated Gigabit LAN ports with 802.3ad LAN Link Aggregation, allowing businesses to double data transmission rates to connected network-attached storage (NAS) units and enterprise file servers. For on-device storage, the BRT-AC828 includes an internal M.2 SATA (Socket 3) slot, enabling internal high-speed SSD installation to transform the router into a compact network file server via integrated Samba and FTP services, complemented by two external USB 3.0 ports with shared folder privilege controls.
Enterprise protection is anchored by ASUS AiProtection Classic powered by Trend Micro, shielding internal workplace networks from malicious URLs, vulnerability attacks, and compromised endpoints. Comprehensive remote access security is delivered through built-in VPN Server and VPN Client engines, including dedicated IPSec, OpenVPN, and PPTP VPN Server capabilities. Network administrators can deploy custom guest networks with branded captive portal login pages, enforce corporate authentication via RADIUS Client integration, and regulate traffic using Adaptive QoS, Bandwidth Monitors, and Bandwidth Limiters. Backed by ASUS's 2-year warranty, the ASUS BRT-AC828 stands as a reliable, redundant, and feature-complete networking center for commercial applications.
