LINKSYS LAUNCHES THE NEW EA9300 TRI-BAND MU-MIMO WI-FI ROUTER TO COMPLETE ITS MAX STREAM PRODUCT FAMILY

Singapore – August 8, 2017– Linksys®, a leader in networking solutions for the home and business and the first to ship 100 million
routers, today announced the EA9300 AC4000 Tri-Band MU-MIMO router, the latest addition to Linksys’ Max
Stream™ product series. The Linksys EA9300 features a 1.8 GHz Quad-Core
Processor and is ideal for households with heavy entertainment and streaming
needs. The system delivers speeds of up to 4 Gbps through three dedicated Wi-Fi
bands, and comes with next generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, which
helps improve overall performance and efficiency of a Wi-Fi network, while
providing dedicated bandwidth to MU-MIMO capable client devices.

Linksys will be the only company with more than five MU-MIMO products
representing the largest and broadest portfolio of MU-MIMO home Wi-Fi solutions
on the market. “The Max Stream family of robust and reliable Wi-Fi routers were
created to solve complicated network issues, and meet Wi-Fi needs in a variety
of home settings,” said Jenny Ng, Managing Director for APAC, Linksys. “Our new
EA9300 signifies our commitment to the latest 802.11ac specification, and is
tailor-made for demanding home networks that require super-fast video
streaming, or for work-from-home users that need a VPN connection to the office
network for a more secure remote access connection.”

The average household has up to 10 devices battling for bandwidth
simultaneously, with certain devices requiring more speed than others,
especially when streaming home entertainment, gaming and data downloads. This
can cause your Wi-Fi speeds to be drastically reduced, especially when the
entire family is at home. Tri-Band technology solves this problem by providing
three high-speed bands that work to deliver combined speeds of up to 4.0Gbps.
Additionally, Linksys’ intelligent Tri-Band and Band-Steering technology work
together to ensure that high-performing devices – like Smart TVs, Laptops and
Phones

– are
moved to a faster and cleaner channel to improve the user’s Wi-Fi experience
