Abstract

Busy home networks are now the rule rather than the exception with multiple clients demanding multiple high-bandwidth services - like video streaming - simultaneously. Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology can deliver significantly more throughput to multiple users than the prior generation single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO). The Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router is a dual-purpose home office and entertainment Wi-Fi router.

Linksys, Inc. commissioned Tolly to benchmark the multi-client throughput of the Linksys EA9500 and compare that to the aggregate throughput of several competing tri-band wireless LAN (WLAN) solutions. The Linksys solution can deliver up to 40% greater aggregate throughput than competing solutions.
