Linksys E8350 Dual-band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) Gigabit Ethernet Black wireless router

802.11n/ac, 2.4 & 5 GHz, 1.4 GHz Dual-Core CPU, 512 MB DDR3, 4 x Gigabit Ethernet (LAN), 1 x Gigabit Internet (WAN), 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x eSATA/USB 2.0 Combo Take your gaming and streaming to the next level with the Linksys AC2400 Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router. Featuring the latest in Wireless-AC, this 4x4 router delivers four data streams--instead of the traditional two or three--to all your devices for a seamless entertainment experience. The AC2400 is equipped with a 1.4 GHz dual-core CPU and is MU-MIMO ready, so it can handle heavy-bandwidth activities and heavy network traffic at a combined speed of up to 2.33 Gbps, making it the fastest Wi-Fi technology.

LATEST WIRELESS-AC TECHNOLOGY FOR BLAZING SPEEDS

Unlike traditional routers that deliver two or three data streams, the AC2400 uses 4x4 AC--the latest in Wireless-AC (802.11ac) technology--to deliver four simultaneous, independent streams of data at speeds up to 2.33 Gbps--six times faster than Wireless-N. Ideal for streaming HD videos or playing online games, our AC2400 Wireless-AC Router delivers blazing speeds and uninterrupted connectivity. As a result, you can enjoy online gaming and video streaming without annoying lag or buffering.

Using the Wireless-AC standard, the AC2400 also delivers innovative beamforming technology, enabling the router to strengthen the wireless signal to specific devices, rather than simply send out Wi-Fi in a general direction. Now you can experience faster network speeds, better wireless range, reduced interference from other devices, and stronger Wi-Fi connections.

MU-MIMO-READY FOR SIMULTANEOUS GAMING AND STREAMING

While current Wireless-AC routers rely on single-use MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technologies, the AC2400 is equipped to handle upcoming MU-MIMO (multi-user MIMO) capabilities. The AC2400 will be capable of handling heavy network traffic and high-bandwidth activities on multiple devices at the same time. The latest in Wireless-AC technology, MU-MIMO effectively allows for simultaneous streaming and gaming on numerous devices without any speed degradation.

SUPERCHARGED CPU FOR HIGH-BANDWIDTH ACTIVITIES

With the AC2400, you can enjoy the latest in speed and performance--whether you're playing online games or streaming music or HD videos--thanks to our 1.4 GHz dual-core processor. This enterprise-class CPU revs up throughput to wired and wireless devices alike and promotes simultaneous high-speed processing, making it great for downloading or transferring large files or performing other data-intensive activities.

FOUR HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANTENNAS AND DUAL BAND WI-FI COVERAGE

To provide you with outstanding Wi-Fi coverage and performance, the AC2400 can reach speeds of up to N600 Mbps + AC1733 Mbps for reduced lag and buffering. Four external antennas project large, overlapping Wi-Fi patterns to remove dead spots and widen the router's range. The antennas can be adjusted to just the right position or detached for future upgrades.

INCREDIBLY FAST WIRED SPEEDS

For lightning-fast wired performance, we equipped the AC2400 with four Gigabit Ethernet ports--which are 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet--to provide the fastest wired speeds. Using the USB 3.0 port, you can add external storage or other devices to share content across your network. For those with an external SATA storage device, the AC2400 is outfitted with a unique eSATA port for added convenience and optimal data transfer rates; it can also serve as a USB 2.0 port.
