    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    I am having problems with the latest 170630 with my NVR I can not use my external IP on WIFI, my phone app won't see it. On cell it works fine and also WIFI to local IP works. I have tried 2 reset methods to make sure and all the same. I don't think I have had any wifi drops (think!) I would...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    I do it (dedicate IP's) at home but not at work, so....... But never had the problem. EDIT: I do now have the NVR problem back with wifi on the older firmware, I was able to fix this with the latest firmware, but wifi drops I can not live with. I just ordered a USB connection for that one...

    Yes the 168206 works great. in the router select -troubleshooting -diagnostics Tab "restore previous firmware" if that does not work I can post it Don't forget -Connectivity -Basic Tab To uncheck "automatic" , or it will install the newer version again.

    Yes, the latest firmware drops wifi connections. I have now reverted both my home and work EA8500 to the firmware 168206. I also did a full reset and manual config to my work router and that still dropped wifi connections with the 169978 firmware. Linksys should re release the 168206 as a...

    I have now purchased for my work (well they paid) a refurbished EA 8500 from amazon, and just like home, this router is outstanding in both 5 and 2.4GHz. So far comments are "Blazing fast". I will keep this tread updated. 。❤。。 。✨。。 ✨。＼｜／。 Happy New Year 。／｜＼。 。。。。 。。

    Don't do dd-wrt on linksys for months, these are the problems so far, I tried it yesterday and don't recommend it for months, it has a long way to go.. 1. I could not get a connection above 150 in 5GHz, no matter what settings I choose, or combinations of. 2. Range was noticeably not as good as...

    I have the file and it is posted in this thread though you must be signed in to download it. I thought about trying it BUT I really like the QOS we get now with linksys firmware. On linksys firmware there is an advanced menu that linksys has and a info screen add this to your web browser...

    dd-wrt for RT-AC87R

    Thats funny....... I purchased a EA8500 Linksys 3-4 months ago and all my lag is gone , I had Asus rt-ac66r, rt-ac68r, and rt-ac87r, all had PS4 game lag and dead spots in Wi-Fi (being 87r the worst out of all), with the Linksys , all PS4 lag is a minimum (best lag free I have ever had), all...

    Hi, I have been rebooting this router about every 30 days, I see some fluctuations, a tad of LAG show, but a reboot of this router fixes it. I can live with reboots every 30 days as all before would have to be or sooner. Most likely due to my sucky ISP, BUT in saying this, my EA8500 is still...

    I also am running perfectly, absolutely still no dead sots, no drops, no LAG, and 22 days with no reboots. I also compared with my friends 87r (that lives in the same town,~4 miles away, same ISP, same 30m down 5 meg up, same cable modems) with ping plotter app (we both have iPhone 6 pluses)...

    I found the info page of this router with everything there (link speed, wifi 2.4 or 5 GHz with mac,etc.), you just refresh it to get an update, not as fancy as other router brands but it does show more than any GUI in other routers. http://192.168.1.1/sysinfo.cgi of course you need a EA8500...

    Just for the fun, and to make sure everything was perfect after a reset and reconfigure, I flushed my EA8500. No, nothing was wrong at all, I just wanted to make sure things are perfect after a flush. Results Absolutely perfect after a flush, setup from scratch was even smoother than the first...

    I have QOS on in my EA8500 And I still have the fastest speeds I have had on any router I see no difference , my ps4 also has very little lag, that's my priority in the QOS for me, and QOS in this router works to.

    I am defiantly finding better download speeds on the EA8500, by only 3 but more is more. I had a max of 30-32 varied on the rt-ac87r, but on the Linksys I get 34.4-35 all the time down. What are you 2 seeing? Better or same as 87r? Amazon gave me my $100 for my last Asus 68r, so I got $232...

    I am still rocking with this very stable router. - Linksys support is very great and responsive (from the printer issue I had, above). - This router may not have the bells and whistles of other routes But this router is sure near perfect at the basic stuff, is rock solid to date, and faster...
