Routers are the life and soul of the media party in many modern households. They are also under an ever increasing demand to deliver high definition media content to multiple devices simultaneously. Whether this be for streaming TV, gaming online,  downloading or uploading content – it all requires a fast connection to the router. The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi EA6500 is a 5th generation router featuring incredible speeds of up to 1750 Mbps (between the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands).

While some homes are lucky enough to have Gigabit Ethernet cabled to every room, others are not, and as such most rely on a wireless router to provide them with that constant stream of data.
