Linksys EA8300 MU-MIMO Tri-band Wireless Router

The speed is crazy fast. I used to have to use a wifi extender for the second floor of our house and with this router that is not a problem anymore.
Download speed was at 67 Mbps and upload speeds where at 54 mbps. Nice Router, I like it.
Download speeds are a little faster than Apple Timecapsule and the range is moderately better.
The speeds have been great, signal strength has been great.
The max speed I get with this band is around 35 mbps.

Linksys MR9000 Tri-Band Mesh Router

Great speeds for 4K HD TV and mesh technology.
The setup was very quick and simple. Great speed.
Speeds are amazing throughout the entire 2500 Sq Ft house.
The Wi-Fi speeds are fast. Great router.
Losing connection and very slow speeds off and on drove me crazy.
