Linksys just announced its new 802.11ac Tri-Band MU-MIMO Router, the Linksys Max Stream EA8300. MU-MIMO technology can allow for up to double the performance of a dual-band router for even faster speeds at downloading, streaming, gaming, or just surfing – especially when multiple people are using the same network.
Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) is the next generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 technology and it helps improve overall performance and efficiency of a Wi-Fi network while providing dedicated bandwidth to MU-MIMO capable client devices as if they have their own dedicated router.
“The introduction of the EA8300 Tri-Band MU-MIMO router to our Max Stream line-up signifies our commitment to the latest 802.11ac specification,” said Justin Doucette, senior director of product management, Linksys. “With the rise of bandwidth-intensive activities, such as 4K streaming and movie downloads, the importance of an efficient and optimised Wi-Fi network is more critical than ever. Tri-Band and MU-MIMO enables multiple devices to communicate with a router and/or range extender simultaneously, so the result is a faster and more reliable Wi-Fi.”
As for features, the router comes with what you’d expect. Four Gigabit LAN and one WAN port, USB 3.0 storage ports for data sharing across your network, and high-gain antennas. It’s compatible with the Linksys mobile app and firmware auto-update feature, but it can more. It even supports Amazon Alexa with three new skills. The full specification can be seen below.
