Overview
MU-MIMO lets the Linksys router send data to several devices at the same time rather than one after another, across two Wi-Fi bands. Three fixed antennas and wired gigabit ports cover a modest home.
Simultaneous streams keep several phones, laptops and TVs moving without queuing. It works with your existing modem and sets up through the Linksys app. Coverage suits apartments and smaller houses, not sprawling homes.
Who it's for
Couples and small families in apartments or compact houses will cover their space with it. Large homes need mesh or an added Max-Stream extender.
Pros and cons
- Simultaneous streams to several devices
- Four wired gigabit ports
- App setup and remote management
- Works with an existing modem
- Limited coverage for large homes
- Only WEP and WPA2-PSK listed
- Older Wi-Fi generation
Performance notes
Throughput per device depends on MU-MIMO splitting airtime across clients and on which band each device uses. The faster band reaches less far through walls than the slower one. Range is set by the three fixed antennas and router placement.
