Linksys EA8500 Network Map / Internet Usage

[jbodine74]

I just bought this router yesterday and so far so good. It is faster than my two 6th Gen Airport Extremes that were set up wirelessly extended. I did notice in the firmware that there is a Network Map which is nice. But, I see on other Linksys routers that in the Network Map there is a tab for Internet Usage. I would like to have that. Where did that go and/or why would they get rid of that?

Being this router is new and network maps can be flaky maybe that feature will be added in a future code release just a guess though.

Router just launched so give Belkin a few months for firmware development.

Network Map in the GUI was one of the major pain points/instability factors on the WRT1900ac, fwiw...

Seems like Linksys/Belkin took the right path this time perhaps..

Belief Bias or True Facts? Spend big bucks on something new, it must be better, right?

If you're repeating a network, even on Airports, there is an impact - consider one on one, and with a similar client.

Show some numbers...

New and over priced isn't better. I just bought a Sony 4K 3D tv for $2,800 and screen died in 2 months. Returned it for an LG 4K 3D tv and it looked great in the store but at home the back lighting was horrible. Taking that back now. LOL!
