The Linksys MAX-STREAMTM EA8300 (AC2200) Tri-Band Router is ideal for homes with heavy Wi-Fi users & delivers up to double the performance of a dual-band router.* With its compact design, up to 2.2 Gbps speed & Quad-Core CPU, the EA8300 seamlessly blends in with your decor while still providing maximum coverage & extremely fast data transfers. The built-in MU-MIMO technology sends high-speed Wi-Fi to multiple devices at the same time as if each family member has their own, dedicated Wi-Fi router. Unlike standard routers, the EA8300 has intelligent software that automatically prevents old, slow or distant devices in your home from reducing the speed of your entire network & focusses its signal direction to each connected device for a stronger, more reliable connection. Use the Linksys app (i OS, Android) to easily manage your home Wi-Fi network, send guests passwords, prioritize devices & set parental control from anywhere. Combine this router with a Max-Stream RE7000 range extender to boost coverage without creating the clutter of multiple networks. The EA8300 & RE7000 operate as one network with one password & network name. Set this router up to meet your network needs with Link Aggregation (up to 2 Gbps) or configure it to operate as a wireless repeater or wireless Ethernet bridge.
