Overview
The Linksys Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA8500) offers a seamless solution for multi-device households with high network traffic. Using the latest wireless-AC technology, Multi-User MIMO, this router delivers 3x faster* Wi-Fi speeds so multiple users can stream movies, play online games, listen to music, and more at the same time without interruption. 4x4 Wireless-AC technology delivers four data streams (rather than the two or three found on standard routers) with speeds of up to 2.53 Gbps**. Additionally, four Gigabit Ethernet ports, a USB 3.0 port, and an eSATA/USB 2.0 port provide high-speed data transmission for wired connections and storage devices.¦*Three or more 1x1 MU-MIMO-enabled client devices must be connected to achieve the three times faster physical data rate.¦** The standard transmission rates-600 Mbps or 1733 Mbps (for 5 GHz), 800 Mbps (for 2.4 GHz), 54 Mbps and 11 Mbps-are the physical data rates. Actual data throughput will be lower and may depend on the mix of wireless products used and external factors.
