When you're looking for a router, most people just want something that works. Linksys' AC1900 Max-Stream does everything in its power to achieve just that. It keeps things simple, and while that simplicity might irk some-power users, the results are just...
It is maybe a little more expensive than a router usually is, but that extra cost is netting you a platform on which great 4K video and gaming experiences can be built. Routers are rarely this easy to recommend - let alone premium ones like the AC1900. If...

T he Linksys Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router EA7500 could be considered the little brother of the EA8500 we reviewed last August. With more devices possessing MU-MIMO compatibility now compared to a year ago and the 8500's feature set trickling d...

Generally speaking, the most expensive products are the ones with the newest technology. In time, that technology will filter down to cheaper models. This is what happened with the Linksys EA7500 and MU MIMO, which we took a good look at for this articl...
The EA7500 is quite unique at the moment. It's the first 3x3 MU MIMO router to go through our test lab, and it performed a little less well than the four-antennae MU MIMO models that we've seen so far. With its average price of 180 euro, this router is...

When Linksys first launched the EA8500 – the company's first MU-MIMO router – it was considered way ahead of its time. And in a sense, it still is – only a few devices currently in the market support the tech, and it won't be until later when mobile devic...

The Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 router is another MU-MIMO router that you can get, only this has one less 5GHz band. This would make more sense of you don't have that many devices that you need connected to the Internet concurrently, as having that o...

Today we have a new router from Linksys on the bench that is not the fastest connected router we've seen lately, but it does claim some pretty impressive features. While many routers claim to have incredible speed when combining all of their wireless band...

Overall the performance of the EA7500 is quite fantastic. While the dual-core CPU seems to be a bit laggy when it comes to loading pages and data on the web interface, it certainly has enough power to run a loaded network. The router ended up being the ba...

Linksys thinks MU-MIMO is the EA7500's key selling point. It's not. While this might be the least-expensive router to support MU-MIMO, that technology is just too new and under-supported on the client side to be anything other than a checklist item. Fortu...

What is the Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream? The Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream is one of only two routers by Linksys that features that latest development in Wi-Fi: MU-MIMO (Multi User, Multiple Input Multiple Output). This allows the router to simultaneously talk...

Nearly a year ago Linksys launched its first MU-MIMO solution into the market, the EA8500. I didn't have a chance to test that particular solution at the time but today we have a router in house that shares quite a few bits and pieces with that solution...

One of our favourite routers of the last few years is the Linksys WRT1900AC (and its followup, the 1900ACS). It offers great stability, good performance, great features and some stand out, retro styling. That blue and black retro look isn't for everyone t...
Starting with the build quality and design of the EA7500 we have a router which is fairly stylish. Yes we love the retro WRT series but its definitely not the most discrete thing in the world…the EA7500 on the other hand will blend in nicely to most envir...
