THAT UPS THE ANTE FOR WI-FI PERFORMANCE IN SOHO ENVIRONMENTS

The EA9500S comes equipped with a 1.8Ghz
high-performance quad-core CPU and is capable of providing up to 8 dedicated
MU-MIMO Streams

Singapore– 7
December 2017– Linksys®, a leader in networking solutions for the
home and business, and the first to ship 100 million routers, today announced
the launch of the new EA9500S AC5400 MUMIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input,
Multiple Output) Gigabit Router. 

The EA9500S is one of the fastest routers in the
market, having been upgraded with a 1.8Ghz quad-core CPU, which allows the
router to handle significantly more devices, provide more bandwidth and offer
more Wi-Fi coverage. The router also operates on next-generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac
Wave 2 technology and features a Tri-band design with the most powerful 4X4 AC
Wi-Fi radios to provide extended coverage for large or multi-storey homes. 

The EA9500S is perfect for SOHO (Small Office, Home
Office) environments, offering nine gigabit Ethernet ports for
“mission-critical” office devices or high bandwidth home entertainment devices.
The router provides business grade functionality to get your home or small
office up and running quickly with the exclusive Linksys
Smart Wi–Fi
software app,
so that you have remote access control to the EA9500S Wi-Fi Router from
anywhere, at any time.

“With the EA9500S, Linksys once again raises the bar
for Wi-Fi solutions that maximise ISP pipeline speeds, and handle more devices
while offering omnidirectional coverage,” said Jenny Ng, Vice President for
APAC, Linksys. “We’ve upgraded the router with SMEs and entrepreneurs in mind,
who work out of small offices or their own homes. By having nine Ethernet ports
and eight of the most powerful AC Wi-Fi radio antennas on the market, the
EA9500 ensures that mission-critical office processes are not compromised –
even if they have family and friends over for a gathering.” 

Apart from the home office, the whole household can
use their Wi-Fi connection to play video games, listen to music, check email,
shop, stream 4K movies, and more, as the EA9500S is capable of providing up to
eight simultaneous streams to MU-MIMO* enabled client devices.
