Linksys announces the new MR8300 Tri-band Gaming Mesh WiFi Router
It’s a high-performance router that delivers up to 2.2Gbps of speed which is great for gamers and streamers that require massive bandwidth.
Linksys is the connected division of the newly merged Belkin International and Foxconn Interconnect Technology. The MR8300 router is powered by a 716 MHz Quad-core processor that improves network performance for faster wired, wireless, and WAN to LAN speeds.
The Linksys MR8300 router is built with Linksys Intelligent Mesh Technology and has the flexibility to expand its WiFi coverage by adding Velop nodes to the system.
⦁ Self-Organise – The MR8300 and Velop nodes work together to cover any floor plan and WiFi footprint
⦁ Self-Optimize – WiFi bands and channels adjust based on your WiFi habits
⦁ Self-Healing – If a node loses power or connection to the system, the remaining nodes re-establish connections to each other and the internet
⦁ One Network – Supports one network name and password, one admin login, one interface for management and monitoring, and one guest network for the whole home
⦁ Seamless Roaming for whole-home gaming – When you add one or more Velop nodes to the MR8300, they will communicate with each other to form a single, unified wireless network.
The MR8300 achieved an average ping-time of 7.3ms against other competitor routers while heavily loaded with mobile gaming clients and background application traffic. The MU-MIMO and Beamforming technology also works to ensure that high-performing devices – like smart TVs, laptops and phones – can connect to the Internet through faster and dedicated WiFi channels.
“Asia Pacific accounts for an impressive 52% share of the global mobile gaming market and is set to generate over $72.2 billion by the end of 2019. With this number only set to grow yearly, Linksys is poised to deliver networking solutions that match consumer demands,” said Jason Villados, Linksys Philippines Country Manager. “The MR8300 is a hybrid router that combines high-performance features from our Max-Stream series with the Intelligent Mesh of the award-winning Linksys Velop Mesh WiFi System that has been well-received globally.”
