Overview

The fastest dual-band router on the market with Tri-Stream 160 technology!


The WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router features Tri-Stream 160 technology, which doubles the bandwidth of all spatial streams. This makes it the fastest dual-band router on the market to handle your high-bandwidth activities. Equipped with MU-MIMO technology to deliver a very fast and consistent Wi-Fi signal to multiple devices at once. Open source compatible with OpenWrt or DD-WRT out of the box, the WRT3200ACM router offers full flexibility and the ability to customise network features or be optimised for specific use cases including gaming, privacy, VoIP and small business applications. The Smart Wi-Fi app has been updated and allows you to manage and control your home Wi-Fi signal from a mobile device, anytime and anywhere. It has 256MB of Flash memory, 512MB of RAM and is equipped with a 1.8GHz processor to deliver high performance. It is the one and only WRT.


Fastest 5 GHz band on the market


Using innovative Tri-Stream 160 technology, the WRT3200ACM delivers ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds for a perfect connection, without buffering. With Wi-Fi speeds of up to 2.6 Gbps, this router is ideal for all bandwidth-hungry online activities. And thanks to the Tri-Stream 160 feature, which is not yet available on competing routers, the 5 GHz bandwidth is doubled.

The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) certification from the US FCC allows routers with Tri-Stream 160 technology to use the 160 MHz frequency band, but also to triple the number of channels available in the 80 MHz band. This certification allows the WRT3200ACM to operate on a much larger wireless network than competing Wi-Fi routers.


MU-MIMO technology for outstanding multi-device performance


With MU-MIMO technology, the WRT3200ACM provides a high performance wireless connection across all bandwidth-hungry networks. MU-MIMO technology is the natural result of the evolution of transmission technologies (spatial multiplexing, beamforming, scheduling algorithms). It thus allows for fast data transmission rates and a much more homogeneous distribution of Wi-Fi bandwidth. Each client device connected to the wireless network receives data via a dedicated data stream. This means that users do not experience any bandwidth problems. All members of a family can simultaneously stream 4K movies and videos, play online games, and perform other bandwidth-intensive activities without buffering.


Faster and more customizable

Equipped with a professional-grade dual-core processor, the WRT3200ACM router is powerful enough to handle the most powerful network traffic on its own, while delivering a connection without slowdown. The result is a fast, responsive home network that never slows down.

If you are an advanced user, you can customise the WRT3200ACM with the router's built-in open source firmware. By using open source firmware such as OpenWrt and DD-WRT, you can :
  • Turn the router into a web server
  • Create and control Wi-Fi hotspots
  • Record, analyse and monitor network traffic
  • Detect any type of network intrusion
  • Access the Tor network for anonymous browsing
  • Deploy several other advanced open source features


Advanced connectivity


With Gigabit Ethernet ports, you can connect even more devices and share large files 10 times faster than with standard Fast Ethernet ports. Connect an external storage device to the router's USB 3.0 port to quickly transfer files over your wireless network. You can also connect storage/printer devices to the router's USB or mixed eSATA/USB 2.0 port.


Configure and manage your network remotely



With the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi app, you can remotely control your Wi-Fi network using a smartphone or tablet.
  • Guest access: create a separate, easy-to-share password-protected Wi-Fi network accessible to up to 50 guests.
  • Parental Controls : secure Internet access for your children, especially when you're on the move or travelling. Control the use of the wireless network; restrict access to certain websites and block access to the Internet from certain devices.
  • Device prioritisation: You can prioritise access to the Wi-Fi network for certain devices so they get faster bandwidth.

The app is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.

    Full satisfaction after 15 days of advanced use

    The performance is there for a mixed personal and telecommuting use for 2 people: direct internet access, VPNs, simultaneous video meetings,
    The flexibility of use and configuration is also there, thanks to OpenWRT which is easily installed. I tested DD-WRT which is not functional on this router.
    Under OpenWRT, the security is there with the basic functionalities (in 1 click) of firewall and DMZ, but also advanced functionalities of network-wifi guest, segmentation of the tele-working networks (mixed wired-WiFi) between them and vis-a-vis the personal network, ipV6...
    In short, at my level (I am not a test lab), total satisfaction and good value for money.

    OPINIONS ON LINKSYS WRT3200ACM

    Great product. This is my first and maybe last Gigabit Wi-Fi router I've bought. Complete, solid, under DD-WRT and Openvpn it breathes anonymity.
    First week of use, I did several tests, several reboot on different firmware and no errors or bugs... it has it under the bonnet ??????
    I'm not sorry I bought it. Thank you LDLC, delivery in France is correct.

    Very good router

    I bought this router as a replacement for the valuable WRT54GL. I am not disappointed. It is very fast and allows me to take advantage of the fibre. I installed DD-WRT immediately. No difficulties encountered.

    Very good product

    I use this router behind my Livebox to manage my entire network. I have flashed it under OpenWRT, without any problem. The wifi doesn't work miracles in my house, the walls and floors are probably a big part of it.

    Very good purchase

    I live in a block of flats and there are a lot of overlapping wifi networks. I took this modem to have a good wifi even in this very noisy environment.

    I tested it in a first with the original firmware and the wifi was good although the setup interface is quite limited.

    I then did my first installation of OpenWRT on this modem. After some trial and error, everything works perfectly well with the OpenWRT SQM which allowed me to reduce the bufferbloat.
    The only drawback to using OpenWRT is that MU-MIMO is not supported by the open-source driver, but that doesn't stop the performance from being good.

    Good Product

    Hello

    I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use this router.
    I bought this router to improve my wifi coverage and especially for its open side.
    I changed the firmware for the 2019 version of openWRT.
    It is a bomb I have advanced functions of router much more expensive and the 4 antennas wifi do the job very well * 5 in debits compared to the box operator.
    It's very good for the price and the hardware configuration is excellent.
    Thank you linksys.

    Very good product.

    I needed a router to install a VPN.

    This product was recommended to me by Espressvpn, and met my needs.

    Very disappointed

    I bought this device to put on the floor and distribute the network in the rooms.
    I was also counting on the wifi to have a single wifi point in the house because of the advertised quality.
    It turns out that the wifi is weak even in 5ghz "configured by phone with a Linksys technician".
    The floorboard is made of wood and not too thick.
    My Wifi CPL Netgear which passes 2 walls of 20cm is more powerful.
    I regret my purchase

    Very good router

    The router is easy to program and has very good basic applications (firewall, VPN etc...). It is also possible to change the fireware because it is open source.

    Very good wifi range, passes without problem the slab between the ground floor and the basement and even better over it.
