The Linksys EA6400 offers great features, a stable Wi-Fi signal, and is easy to use. Unfortunately, it's also kind of pricey and has below-leverage Wi-Fi performance.Read more
The EA6400 is a fine router. What it may lack in performance against other 11ac routers in 11ac mode, it makes for in a sharp interface, easy setup and feature set. It's just that it's not a significantly different router from the EA6500 we saw last year.Read more
