Installation of EA9300

The new Linksys MAX-STREAM AC4000 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Router can be configured with Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router

setup. Plug in the router to a power source with the provided power adapter and power cord. Wait until the illuminated

Linksys logo on the top of the router stops blinking and is solid white.

To configure the router for the first time:

1. Connect to the secured wireless network shown on the label on the bottom of the router (“Wi-Fi Name”). Select

the option to automatically connect to this network in the future.

2. Open a web browser to launch Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router setup instructions. Follow the on-screen instructions

to complete your router setup. If you do not see the setup instructions, type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.

3. If you would like to manually configure your router, click on the link “Manual Configuration”at the lower left

corner. The router will prompt you for router password. The default router password is admin.

4. In Smart Wi-Fi Tools, go to Wireless, turn off Smart Connect and give 2 different network names to 5GHz1and

5GHz2, then click Apply. This is for demonstration of the performance of each individual frequency band in the

following tests.

General Suggestions

Linksys Wi-Fi Router Page 5 of 9

In order to get consistent and repeatable results, we suggest you control the variables of the test:

oTurn off all interfering devices, for example, wireless routers/access point/wireless range extenders that will not

participate in the test, Bluetooth devices (e.g. cell phone) and microwave ovens.

oUse the same location, time of day and equipment

Single-Client Performance Testing

Objective: To demonstrate the performance brought by 3x3 wireless technology.

We suggest you to use the following setup to conduct performance test:

- Configure the router with the following settings:

oUse WPA2-Personal if you wish to conduct the test with wireless security enabled

oSet Network Mode to Mixed

oIf you are testing 5GHz (802.11ac), set Channel Width to 80 MHz

oIf you are testing 2.4GHz (802.11n), set Channel Width to Auto

oSelect a channel that has the least interference

oSet QoS and Parental Controls set to Disabled

- Place EA9300 and Computer #2, the wireless client, about five (5) meters apart from each other

- Connect Computer #1 with the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port to one of the EA9300’s Ethernet (LAN) ports

- Connect Computer #2 wirelessly to one of the three wireless networks of EA9300. Computer #2 should be

equipped with a stable 3x3 802.11ac wireless adapter, for example, Macbook Pro (“late 2013” models or later).

Please do not use Linksys WUSB6100M to conduct this 3x3 single-client performance test.

oTo test the performance of 802.11ac, connect to one of the two 5GHz networks

- Download iPerf3 (in zip file) from https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php to both computers and unzip the file.

- IMPORTANT: Disable firewall, auto software update, screen saver and power save (auto sleep) on all computers.

To run the test:

On Computer #1, open a command prompt window. Change the current directory to the location where iPerf is installed.

Then, execute the following iPerf command at the command prompt.

iperf3 -s -f m -i 1

On Computer #2, open a command prompt windows. Change the current directory to the location where iPerf is installed.

Then, execute the following iPerf command at the command prompt.

iperf3 -c <IP address of Computer #1> -fm-i1-t 60 -w 1M -P 1

(For example, iperf3 -c 192.168.1.105 -fm-i1-t 60 -w 1M -P 1)

MU-MIMO Testing

Objective: To demonstrate the benefit of MU-MIMO over SU-MIMO.

Linksys Wi-Fi Router Page 6 of 9

To demonstrate the benefit of MU-MIMO, first, turn off EA9300’s Smart Connect to make sure all the wireless clients are

on the same frequency band. See Step 4 in “To configure the router for the first time” for instructions of turning off Smart

Connect.

For the best performance, we recommend the following settings on the 5GHz networks (both 5GHz1and 5GHz2) of

EA9300:

WPA2-Personal if you wish to conduct the test with wireless security enabled

Network Mode set to Mixed

Channel Width set to 80 MHz

Select a channel that has the least interference

QoS and Parental Controls set to Disabled

Linksys WUSB6100M is a USB wireless adapter that supports MU-MIMO. Prepare two computers and install Linksys

WUSB6100M wireless adapter on each computer. See “Installation of WUSB6100M” at the end of this document for

instructions.

Then, set up the MU-MIMO test in the following way:

Two computers (clients), which have Linksys WUSB6100M installed, and EA9300 form a right-angled triangle (right

triangle) as shown in the above diagram. The distance between the client and the router should be 6 feet or more.

Another computer (Computer #3) connected to EA9300’s one of the four Ethernet ports from the computer’s built-in

Gigabit Ethernet port is not shown in the above diagram. Computer #1 and #2 are wirelessly connected to one of the two

5GHz networks of EA9300. Make sure Computer #1 and #2 are connected to the same 5GHz network.

Download iPerf3 (in zip file) from https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php to each of the three computers and unzip the file.

IMPORTANT: Disable firewall, auto software update, screen saver and power save (auto sleep) on all computers.

A. With MU-MIMO enabled (factory default setting)

On computer #1 and #2, open a command prompt window. Change the current directory to the location where iPerf3 is

installed. Then, execute the following iPerf3 command at the command prompt on each of these computers.

iperf3 -s -f m -i 1

On computer #3, open 2 command prompt windows. Change the current directory to the location where iPerf3 is installed

in each command prompt window. Then, execute the following iPerf3 command at the command prompt in each of the

command prompt window simultaneously (substitute with the actual IP address of Computer #1 and #2 respectively).

iperf3 -c <IP address of Computer #1 or #2>-fm-i1-t 60 -w 1M -P 1

(For example, iperf3 -c 192.168.1.105 -fm-i1-t 60 -w 1M -P 1)

To enable/disable MU-MIMO support in EA9300:

From a computer that is connected to EA9300, log in to the router at 192.168.1.1. Then, visit the following router

configuration page (please make sure you have logged in to the router before visiting this configuration page):

http://192.168.1.1/ui/dynamic/advanced-wireless.html

Linksys Wi-Fi Router Page 8 of 9

(Note: This Advanced Wireless Settings page is for testing purpose and it’s not intended for end users. Please do not

publish the link of this configuration page to the general public.)

Select Broadcom tab. Toggle MU-MIMO support by checking (enable) or unchecking (disable) both boxes next to “MU-

MIMO Enabled”, then click the Apply button. MU-MIMO is enabled by default in EA9300.

Installation of WUSB6100M (for MU-MIMO test only)

Linksys WUSB6100M is a USB wireless adapter that supports MU-MIMO. You only need to install this

wireless adapter if you are going to conduct MU-MIMO test. To install:

1. Insert WUSB6100M wireless adapter into an available USB port on your computer.

2. Watch the computer monitor as the device automatically installs.

3. If the wireless adapter does not install automatically, use the provided CD and run the driver installation file

(also available at linksys.com/support/wusb6100M).

Linksys Wi-Fi Router Page 9 of 9

Note: Once the installation of WUSB6100M is successful, remember to disable the computer’s built-in wireless

adapter to avoid accidental use of the incorrect wireless adapter in the MU-MIMO test. Go to Control Panel >

Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. Then, right click the built-in wireless adapter and

click Disable.
