Linksys EA8500 EA8500-EU

Linksys EA8500 EA8500-EU Wi-Fi Router Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router is designed to deliver best-in-class network performance.

The fastest Wi-Fi router in the world
Linksys EA8500 is the first router that supports 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple Output) technology, thanks to which each device in the wireless network receives the highest quality connection. Thanks to this super novelty, the 1 gigabit per second barrier has finally been overcome. The router uses Qualcomm MU | EFX MU-MIMO technology, which allows for a significant increase in throughput. The total throughput is 2.53 Gbps (up to 1733 Mbps in the 5 GHz range and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz range).
4 External Adjustable Antennas for Maximum Coverage and Range The Wireless-AC EA8500 is the first router on the market to deliver reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, with four external adjustable antennas to ensure maximum strength for your Wi-Fi signal, allowing you to simultaneously game, download, and stream video without lag. The antennas are removable for future upgrades.
Dual-core 1.4GHz processor supports multiple users and devices to avoid interference With a dual-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processor, the EA8500 is one of the most powerful routers in its class, capable of transmitting data at super-fast speeds even on the busiest networks. Pushing the boundaries of wired and wireless speeds to their limits, the Linksys EA8500 router can easily support multiple users at the same time, whether they are streaming music, watching HD video, or playing online games.
Enhanced security to ensure a secure connection To prevent unauthorized access to your data, the EA8500 offers Wi-Fi Protected Setup along with WPA2 encryption and SPI firewall to ensure maximum network security. Parental controls allow you to limit your children's access to the Internet.
Dual wireless bands maximize the speed of the next generation of Wireless-AC The antennas boost the parallel operation of two 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz bands to provide a strong and reliable Wi-Fi signal that eliminates dead zones, even in multi-story homes. The EA8500 router features innovative beamforming technology that allows it to strengthen the wireless signal by concentrating on selected devices, instead of sending the Wi-Fi signal in a general direction. This increases the speed of the network connection, improves the wireless coverage area, reduces interference from other devices, and the Wi-Fi connection becomes more stable.
