Linksys WRT3200ACM AC3200 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router Review

Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2016-12-26

Linksys WRT3200ACM is a high-performance router sporting the AC3200 standard, supports bandwidths up to 160MHz on the AC band, MU-MIMO for streaming data to multiple devices at once and packs a powerful 1.8GHz dual-core processor. By connecting a storage device to it, we can easily transform the router into an entry-level NAS, the read/write speeds being surprisingly good for a device of this type.

Product Features:

 

THE ONE AND ONLY WRT

 

Bring ultra-fast AC Wi-Fi to your home with the one and only WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Open Source Wi-Fi Router. Equipped with Tri-Stream 160 and premium MU-MIMO technologies, this open-source router delivers blazing-fast, uninterrupted dual-band Wi-Fi speeds to multiple devices at the same time.

 

TRI-STREAM TECHNOLOGY

 

Equipped with innovative Tri-Stream 160 technology, the WRT3200ACM delivers untouched, extreme Wi-Fi speeds that never lag. Not available on other Wi-Fi routers, Tri-Stream 160 effectively doubles the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band to power data-heavy activity with ultra-fast 2.6 Gbps Wi-Fi speeds.

 

DFS CERTIFIED

 

Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) certification from the FCC not only allows operation at 160MHz enabling Tri-Stream160, but it also triples the channels available at 80MHz, so your router can operate in the clearest airspace that other Wi-Fi routers aren't allowed.

 

MU-MIMO PROVIDES STUNNING MULTI-DEVICE PERFORMANCE

 

Thanks to MU-MIMO technology, the WRT3200ACM router can handle even the most bandwidth-intensive environments. MU-MIMO builds upon longtime broadcasting cornerstones--such as spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and scheduling algorithms--to boost overall throughput and distribute Wi-Fi bandwidth fairly between devices. Each connected client device receives its own dedicated data stream, so users won't have to compete with one another for bandwidth. Multiple users can simultaneously engage in 4K video streaming, play online games, and perform other data-intensive tasks without latency or buffering.

 

ENTERPRISE-GRADE 1.8 GHz PROCESSOR BOOSTS THROUGHPUT

 

Equipped with an enterprise-grade dual-core processor, the WRT3200ACM packs the computing power needed to handle even the heaviest network traffic and deliver the lowest latency. The result is a fast, responsive home network that never lags.

The WRT3200ACM Router delivers seamless Wi-Fi signal that extends throughout your entire household

 

OPEN SOURCE FIRMWARE OFFERS ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION

 

Advanced users can harness the expanded potential of the WRT3200ACM router by customizing with open source firmware. Using packages from established open source distributions like OpenWrt® and DD-WRT®, you can:

 

Set up a secure VPN

Turn the router into a web server

Create and manage hotspots

Capture, analyze, and manage network traffic

Detect network intrusion

Access TOR network for anonymous browsing

Employ many other advanced open source features

 

Connect a network storage drive or printer using the eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port

 

FULL RANGE OF PORTS FOR ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY

 

Connect more devices and share files at speeds 10x faster than Fast Ethernet with four Gigabit Ethernet ports. Connect a storage device to the USB 3.0 port and quickly transfer files. Or, connect eSATA and USB hard drives or a printer using the eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port.
