Linksys Launches New Wi-Fi Range Extender

Playa Vista-based Linksys has launched a new product today, a new Wi-Fi range extender designed to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones in homes. According to Linksys, its new Linksys Max-Stream Tri-Band AC3000 Wi-Fi Range Extender (RE9000) works with any router, features three dedicated radios with tri-band MU-MIMO support, "roaming" or access point modes, and automated firmware updates. The "roaming" mode works with other Linksys routers to seamlessly switch a user to the strongest Wi-Fi connection without user intervention. The new device has a MSRP of $169.99, and will ship starting November 23rd.
