It's designed for large households, physically, it's huge.Powered by a dual-core CPU and featuring eight external antennas, this monstrous tri-band router packs Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) streaming, eight Gigabit LAN ports, and plenty of management settings is a very solid performer
Design and Features
It is among the largest routers we've seen, The black enclosure holds eight adjustable, non-removable antennas (three on each side and two on the back) and has a status panel with eight LED bars that flash when the router is booting up or when a firmware upgrade is taking place and remain solid when the router is up and running. There's a wealth of I/O ports around back, including eight Gigabit LAN ports, a WAN port, a USB 3.0 port, and a USB 2.0 port. They are joined by a Reset button and a Power button. The right side of the router holds a WPS button and a Wi-Fi (enable/disable) button.
Under the hood is a 1.4GHz dual-core processor and 802.11ac circuitry with three independent Wi-Fi bands (one 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands). The 2.4GHz band can reach (theoretical) maximum speeds of up to 1,000Mbps, and each 5GHz band can reach up to 2,166Mbps. The EA9500 supports MU-MIMO data streaming, which transmits data simultaneously, rather than sequentially, to MU-MIMO-compatible clients, and beamforming, which sends data signals directly to clients, rather than broadcasting over a wide spectrum. It also supports Seamless Roaming technology when paired with a Linksys Max-Stream Range Extender. With Seamless Roaming, the router and the extender work together to automatically connect you to the strongest signal as you move from room to room.
The EA9500 uses the same Web-based Smart Wi-Fi management interface used on the Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router . It can also be managed using the Smart Wi-Fi mobile app. The Main page contains Smart Wi-Fi Tools and Router Settings on the left, and eight widgets on the right that you can click to access Wireless, Guest Access, External Storage, Media Prioritization, and Parental Control settings. There's also a Network Map that displays all connected devices.

The Guest Access page is where you go to enable guest networking and create passwords for both bands, and the Parental Controls page lets you block Internet access and create access schedules for select clients. Wireless settings allow you to create network names and passwords for each band, assign a security mode (WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, or WPA2/WPA mixed), and select a network mode. The Media Prioritization page offers drag-and-drop QoS settings for applications and games, and Security settings provide IPv4 and IPv6 firewall protection, Internet filtering, and VPN pass-through capabilities.
