Linksys E8400

details: AC2400 Dual-Band Wireless Router
hardware type: Wireless Router
date added: 2016-12-31
updated: 2017-01-28
This AC2400 (N600 + AC1733 Mbps) dual-band wireless router brings speed and reliability to your Wi-Fi connection. It is a simultaneous dual band router.

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports - which are 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet - provide faster wired speeds. A USB 3.0 port lets you add external storage or other devices to share content across your network.

If you have an external SATA storage device, the E8400 is outfitted with an eSATA port for optimal data transfer rates; it can also serve as a USB 2.0 port.

Beamforming technology optimizes performance and reduces interference by focusing wireless signal to connected devices.

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 the optimal position or detached for future upgrades.
