Overview
802.11ac Tri-Band Quad Stream Gigabit
While not really represented well in the infobox, this is a tri-radio device - all radios
- (2x 5GHz [11an+ac], 1x 2.4GHz [11bgn]) used are BCM4366 (FullMAC)
This is an artificially limited Costco exclusive model.
- In this case, the R8300 is a R8500 with acqam (1024QAM) and nqam (256QAM)
- disabled on the four stream 2.4GHz 802.11n radio limiting its maximum theoretical
- speed to 600Mbps instead of 1000Mbps. Also, the USB 2.0 port was removed for R8300.
This device was under short-term confidentiality, but that expired 11/21/2015 ⚠.
Product features
- Get fastest speeds available up to 5.0 Gbps
- Tri-band Wi-Fi delivers more Wi-Fi to more devices
- Quad Stream delivers up to four data streams per Wi-Fi band
- 4 active and 4 internal antennas to amplify and maximize range
- 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports, aggregate two for fast file transfers
- Smart Connect intelligently selects Wi-Fi band for every device
- MU-MIMO for simultaneous streaming of data to multiple devices
- Dynamic QoS prioritizes bandwidth by application and device
