Linksys EA8300 Max-Stream: AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router for Wireless Home Network, Uninterrupted Gaming and Streaming, MU-MIMO Black

The Linksys EA7500-4B router has mixed reviews from customers, with some praising its extended range and others experiencing difficulty with connectivity on their devices. One customer reported issues with continuous internet connection and suggested disabling the MU-MIMO setting, while another had trouble setting up the router and sent it back for a Netgear product. The router is compatible with different Internet Service Providers (ISPs), according to customers who have used it, such as Comcast and CenturyLink. However, some noted that this replacement for their existing modem required entering their PPPoE username and password and correctly configuring the VLAN tagging settings. Other customers expressed concern about the router's wireless security, which did not support WPA3, and the potential for data tracking since the product used to be owned by Cisco and was currently from Belkin. One customer replaced the firmware with OpenWRT to mitigate this issue. Overall, efficacy and functionality varied depending on the user's individual setup and preferences for Wi-Fi performance with some having issues connecting their devices, but others noting significant improvements to the speed of their internet, especially when downloading.
