Actiontec WF-825 Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 Router
Product Datasheet
Version 1.0, October 2023
Website: www.actiontec.com
Overview
The Actiontec WF-825 is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router designed for homes and businesses, built on the latest 802.11be chipset. It supports EasyMesh R4 for a self-configuring, self-healing, and self-managing Wi-Fi network, dynamically selecting the most reliable path for fast and seamless user handoffs.
The WF-825 is a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 router supporting 802.11ax across all bands. It features 4x4 802.11b/g/n/ax MIMO on the 2.4GHz band, 4x4 802.11a/n/ac/ax/be MIMO on the 5GHz band, and 4x4 802.11a/n/ac/ax/be MIMO on the 6GHz band. This enables high-speed real-time traffic and bandwidth-intensive entertainment such as 4K video streaming, online gaming, and VR. The router uses a standard AC/DC adapter for global compatibility.
Router Description: A white, rectangular tower-like device with rounded edges. It features a few indicator lights and buttons on the front.

Application Scenario
Three Actiontec WF-825 units, or a combination of WF-825 and WF-710G, can form a Wi-Fi mesh network. One unit is configured as the Gateway, and the others as Wi-Fi Extenders.
Mesh Network Diagram Description: A diagram illustrating a Wi-Fi mesh network. It shows a house icon connected to the internet via Fiber/Ethernet. Inside the house, a 'Gateway' unit is connected via Ethernet. Two 'Extender' units are shown, wirelessly connected to the Gateway and forming an 'EasyMesh Network'. Laptops and a smartphone are depicted connecting to the network.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference.
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
RF Exposure Warning
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions, and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 45 cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC regulations restrict operation of this device to indoor use only. Operation is prohibited on oil platforms, cars, trains, boats, and aircraft, except that operation is permitted in large aircraft while flying above 10000 feet.
