Linksys continues to maintain a significant price difference with the reduced prices ($199.97 vs. I’m sure Linksys thought it was going to steal market share from 4×4 MU-MIMO competitors by originally pricing the EA7500 $60 lower than its EA8500 4×4 AC2600 class router ($219.99 vs. So why would you buy this thing? Certainly not for price. #6 range ranking in both bands isn’t too bad, but not enough to push the EA7500’s total ranking higher.ĮA7500 Ranker Performance Summary comparison The Ranker Performance Summary below shows its key strengths are 2.4 GHz average and maximum throughput. The EA7500 ranks #4 of 16 tested AC1900 routers not a bad showing.

It does not include OpenVPN support I suppose Linksys had its hands full getting MU-MIMO settled in. The EA7500 supports Linksys’ standard "Smart Wi-Fi" feature set and user interface, as shown below. Table 1: Component summary and comparison Features – Skyworks SKY85601 5 GHz LNA + switch (x4) – RFMD RFPA5522 5 GHz power amplifier (x4) – Skyworks SE2623L 2.4 GHz power amplifier (x4) – Skyworks SE2623L 2.4 GHz Power Amp (x3)

– Skyworks SE2623L 2.4 GHz power amp (x3) Qualcomm dual-core IPQ8064 Internet Processor 1.4 GHz Once I receive the new blade, I’ll retest all MU-MIMO products tested to date, post an article with the results and add MU-MIMO benchmarks to the Router Charts. So I’ve been asked to hold off further MU-MIMO testing for a few weeks until the VeriWave folks get me an updated Wi-Fi blade that more accurately reflects current real MU-MIMO devices. Since MU-MIMO is still evolving, it seems the virtual MU-MIMO STAs produced by the IxVeriWave test system still need some tweaking to properly reflect the current performance of real-world MU-MIMO devices, which are themselves being tuned to improve performance. I wish I could confirm whether this is true, but I’ve run into a temporary hitch in MU-MIMO testing. the three you get with AC2600 class 4×4 MU-MIMO routers. This should mean that the EA7500’s peak throughput will be with two MU clients vs. The MU-MIMO rule of thumb for the number of MU-MIMO clients that produce peak total throughput has been # of RF chains – 1. Instead, its main claim to fame is its unique (at least so far) 3×3 radio configuration using one less antenna than all other MU-MIMO routers on the market. Unlike most new routers these days, the EA7500 doesn’t pitch higher performance. Linksys shook up the evolving market for MU-MIMO enabled routers at CES 2016 with the introduction of the EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router.
