What does MU-MIMO mean? It stands for Multi-User, Multi-Input, Multi-Output. Linksys was the first to debut a fully functional MU-MIMO router in May of last year. This year, they are expanding their MU-MIMO portfolio to include two additional routers, a range extender and a USB adapter. The new Linksys MAX-STREAM lineup leverages the next generation of Wi-Fi 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology to help you have uninterrupted Wi-Fi connectivity to all the devices in your home and function as if multiple devices have their own dedicated router. With MU-MIMO technology, your whole household can play video games, listen to music, check email, shop, stream movies and more- at the same time!
