THE TEW-824DRU

The plastic body of the TEW-824DRU should only be placed vertically and measures 191mm in height, 151mm in depth and 72mm in width (weighs 408g).

We placed the TEW-824DRU right next to the D6300B modem/router by Netgear, the FRITZ!Box 4020 router by AVM (review soon) and the TPE-S44 PoE switch again by TRENDnet to get a better idea about its size.

Unlike the TEW-818DRU the TEW-824DRU just has the power on/off LED and the Internet LED at the front (no LAN/USB activity LEDs).

Although the housing is made out of hard plastic TRENDnet has placed their logo on two thin pieces of brushed aluminum located on both sides.

At the rear we find the 4 gigabit Ethernet ports, WAN gigabit port, on/off power button and the power port.

This time over TRENDnet has used a small plastic base for the router (the TEW-818DRU didn't have one) underneath which there's a small sticker with all the necessary information regarding the router.
