 The Linksys EA9500 is a Broadcom BCM4709C0 (1.4 GHz, 2 cores) MU-MIMO Tri-Band WiFi router, which has one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz WiFi Interfaces, making it an interesting choice for wireless backhaul or repeater applications. The radios support MCS 0-9 (up through 1024 QAM) for devices and paths that are compatible with those high-density modulations. The Linksys EA9500 is a Broadcom BCM4709C0 (1.4 GHz, 2 cores) MU-MIMO Tri-Band WiFi router, which has one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz WiFi Interfaces, making it an interesting choice for wireless backhaul or repeater applications.
