Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2017-06-29

The EA8300 Max-Stream AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi router from Linksys is a feature-packed mainstream solution meant for home use, including some of the latest technologies such as MU-MIMO, Seamless Roaming, Advanced Beamforming and does have at its core a 716MHz Quad-Core CPU with 3 offload processors. For easily setting up the product, the manufacturer has included a Quick Start Guide, but also an easy to understand wizard, which pops up as soon as the device boots up for the first time. While Linksys is promoting their Smart Wi-Fi account for setting up the router, we can also access it locally, while only entering the router password.
