Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Maximize Wi-Fi Speeds with Linksys Max-Stream AC2200 Tri-Band Router (EA8300) - Black [New & Renewed] by Austin Wolf

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beware of Linksys, guest WiFi is poorly implemented

I wanted the new router to move to dual band and MU-MIMO. For some reason I chose this one. And I also wanted to put all my IoT stuff (cameras, lightbulbs, outlets, Alexa, etc.) on a separate network from my PCs, phones, and tablets. Typically this is done by hosting these devices on a guest network. To my dismay, the guest network on this router uses an authorized portal page for authentication (not HTTPS, as the icing on the cake)! Wow, what a crazy implementation of Furball for the guest network. Unfortunately I had to send it back.

Pros
  • shiny
Cons
  • hard to tell
