Description

Enjoy fast wireless Internet speeds and improved range and performance with the Linksys AC2400 Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router. Great for gamers, and well-suited for homes with several people on the Internet at once, this dual-band Wi-Fi router uses 4x4 Wireless-AC (802.11ac) technology to produce four independent streams of data at once to increase speed and reduce lag and buffering. MU-MIMO ready* and featuring a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, the EA8350 is designed to handle high-bandwidth activities and heavy network traffic.

Simultaneously delivers four independent streams of data at speeds up to 2.33 Gbps**--six times faster than Wireless-N.

Upcoming MU-MIMO technology will allow streaming and gaming on multiple devices without lag.*

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports offer transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet.

4x4 AC for Fast Wireless Performance
The Linksys AC2400 Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router features 4x4 Wireless-AC (802.11ac) technology that is up to six times faster than Wireless-N.** Unlike traditional routers that deliver two or three data streams, the EA8350 delivers four simultaneous, independent streams of data at speeds of up to 1733 Mbps. The result is seamless Wi-Fi performance and better range that is ideal for gaming and video streaming on multiple devices.

Dual Bands and Four Antennas for Wi-Fi Coverage
The E8350 has dual wireless bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and can deliver combined data transfer speeds of up to 2.3 Gbps (AC1733 + N600 Mbps) for a strong, reliable Wi-Fi signal over a wide range. Four external antennas project large, overlapping Wi-Fi patterns to eliminate dead spots and improve coverage. As a result, you can enjoy online gaming or video streaming without lag or buffering. The antennas are adjustable for optimal positioning.

MU-MIMO-Ready for Fast Speeds on Multiple Devices
Built for high-bandwidth activities and heavy network traffic, the E8350 is equipped to handle MU-MIMO technology (multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) that enables people on the network to stream and game using multiple devices simultaneously. MU-MIMO can effectively triple the throughput of a Wi-Fi device, allowing for three times the number of users without any loss in speed.

1.4 GHz Dual-Core Processor to Surf, Stream, and Game Simultaneously
Featuring an enterprise-class 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, the E8350 maximizes throughput to both wired and wireless devices, making it ideal for streaming HD videos, playing online games, downloading or transferring large files, or performing other high-bandwidth activities. Unlike typical single-core processors -- which have to switch between data streams--a dual-core processor can handle multiple data streams simultaneously for better efficiency and performance.

Beamforming for Strong, Focused Wi-Fi Connections
The E8350 features beamforming, an innovative technology that strengthens the wireless signal to specific devices within its range, rather than simply sending out Wi-Fi in a general direction. Beamforming also reduces interference from other devices for stronger Wi-Fi connections. So whether you're on a smartphone, a tablet, a Wi-Fi-enabled camera or camcorder, or a wearable computer, you can move about your home and access the Internet with confidence.

USB 3.0, eSATA, and Gigabit Ethernet Ports to Share Files
The E8350 comes equipped with a variety of leading technologies that make it easy for you to transfer and share files across your wireless network. On the back of the router are four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are 10 times faster than traditional Fast Ethernet to provide the fastest wired speeds. To stream or send large files across your network at high speed, you can connect a flash drive to the USB 3.0 port or an external SATA storage device to the unique eSATA port. For printing or working with smaller files, the eSATA port also serves as a USB 2.0 port.

Wireless Security to Block Unauthorized Access
Like other Linksys wireless networking products, the E8350 features Wi-Fi Protected Setup along with WPA/WPA2 encryption and an SPI firewall to keep your home Wi-Fi network safely connected and secure.

System Requirements
This product requires a Wi-Fi-enabled computer that runs Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows 7, or Windows 8 operating system or the Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1 or later, Lion 10.7 or later, Mountain Lion 10.8 or later, or Mavericks 10.9 or later operating system.

Maximum performance derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual performance may vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Combined Wi-Fi speeds of 802.11ac 2300 Mbps (for two 5 GHz and one 2.4 GHz bands) is up to 2x faster physical data rate when compared to 802.11ac 1600 Mbps Wi-Fi routers. An 802.11ac adapter may be needed to achieve 11ac data rates. In order to achieve the best performance, router must be used with a compatible AC1300 wireless device.

  • 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, 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 powerful 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, AC2400 has been equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports - which are 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.
