    EA8500, MU-MIMO, GS7

    That's what I figured, better getting the 2x2 bandwidth than MU. Tough part is, Linksys (Belkin) left MU-MIMO switch out of their firmware, smh... So, I guess I need to get a router that has that switch available to disable, or find one that came out right before MU was a thing (AC-RT68). Was...

    EA8500, MU-MIMO, GS7

    I have the EA8500 and 2 Galaxy S7s and a couple other wireless devices. The phones are great, but they do have a known issue with MU-MIMO chipsets. If the router uses MU-MIMO, the GS7 drops back to 1x1, for a max of 433mbps negotiated speeds. On non-mimo routers, it's back to using 2x2 at...

    Wireless Channels (80MHz and Channel Selection)

    The EA8500 has been a good router so far. If you follow this thread, there where few issues that seemed to have cleared up with firmware (Linksys is doing a good job at releasing new versions in a reasonable time frame). We'll see how things progress over a few more months.

    Wireless Channels (80MHz and Channel Selection)

    I have read some articles about 80MHz and how channels work, and still trying to grasp this. My EA8500 has a selection for 80MHz, when you select AC Only clients. In my house, I only have AC clients and my others are wired. Guests can use the 2.4GHz band in mixed mode. I noticed that my...

    Reboot Linksys Router via Commandline

    This is infact a local router tab. Maybe not the example I listed off the web, but it looks the exact same as in that page. I am getting to the router by the local IP. I tried enabling the status bar in IE to see what happens when I hover over the Reboot button, but nothing shows up. Side...

    Different Network IP from Router

    I only have the one router, no ISP one. It was strange. I unplugged the modem for 2 hours while i went out. Came back, hooked it up and the EA8500 couldnt get a path to the internet on its network map. Frustrated, I hooked up my old router. Everything was fine, and working with an internal...

    Different Network IP from Router

    Hello. I have a PC hooked to my router (EA8500) via CAT5 in Port 1. I just noticed today that I could not get to my wireless printer. I checked the IP I was given, and I am getting what looks like an outside address? (96. IP on a 255.255.224.0 subnet mask). How is this possible when I have...

    Wireless Radio Check

    I have an EA8500, 4 stream router that I bought as a refurb. For piece of mind, is there something that I can use to test/see if all 4 streams are functional/broadcasting? I dont currently have any clients over 2 AC radios. Thanks.

    Refurbished Linksys EA8500 OK to buy?

    What I would like to know is if router Refurbished QA testers test for solid connectivity over a decent period of time. I bet they don't. That's ok, if they will accept a return the same as a new router, then that acts as a safety net for buying a refurb.

    Media Bridge

    How can i tell if a router has media bridge capabilities? Ive seen where some list a bridge, but only mean to extend range. I though that was a repeater... I need something that i can hook my mediaroom devices to, and wireless link to my main router. How would this be listed in manuals or on...

    Refurbished Linksys EA8500 OK to buy?

    You can get about 80 bucks off a Linksys EA8500 right now on refurbished. My question is, when they get sent back from a new purchase, they normally had a problem to begin with. Dropped WiFi, etc. Do you think they actually replace the bad parts, or does the QA techs miss the diagnosis, and...

    The future of AC (Wave2)

    Thank for the reply. So, are the top routers full wave 2 right now, or are there features in wave 2 that are not available yet? Understand your statement that anything the manufactures can sell, they will... The RT-87U/R still seems like it needs a few more months of development work, but...

    The future of AC (Wave2)

    So, the latest routers have come out, such as the RT-87U and R7500 Quad stream models, along with the newer, 3 network R8000 and RT-AC3200 (yet to be released). My question is what will come next for Wave2? 160Mhz models next year? Were the routers above supposed to come with 160Mhz wide...

    Linksys 4200v2 Issues

    I noticed that loading facebook feeds on both of our Galaxy S5s was starting to be an issue. Also, navigating through Xbox One pages became slow along with viewing videos on youtube on Xbox One. First I tried resetting the cable modem. Nothing changed. Then tried switching the Xbox from the...

    Cable Modem Issues

    Hello, I have Time Warner Cable and an SB5100 Modem I have had forever. Every now and then, when I get home from work, the modem will be offline. Resetting never works. Then I call into TWC support, and they obviously can't get it working either, so they send out a Tech. However, usually...
