Linksys EA6350 v3 radio chip

[GromitD90]

Hi

I'm new to this forum after having been a silent browser for a few months. I have a quick question on the Linksys EA6350 v3 router - does anyone know which radio chip it uses on the 5GHz radio?

I'm curious to know because it is listed on the WiFi Alliance Interoperability testing as supporting RTS with bandwidth signaling whereas none of the other Linksys routers that have been tested by the WiFi Alliance recently have this feature listed.

I'm also curious to know which "body" is/was responsible for defining 802.11ac Wave 1 Vs Wave 2 features. I'm looking for a definitive list of Mandatory and optional features for both Wave 1 and Wave 2. I see lots of references to Wave 1 and Wave 2 but none have provided these lists.

Thanks in advance
Mike

See for yourself. Qualcomm IPQ4018 SoC

"Wave2" is more a marketing term; it has no standards body definition.

Thanks Tim. Great job on the site and forums btw.

Unfortunately when I click on the link I just get a single line response saying "You are not authorized to access this site". Is there somewhere I need to sign up first?

No. That's just the way the FCC ID system works.

Go here
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm

Enter "Q87" in Grantee code field and "-EA6350v3" in Product code field.

Thanks - that worked

Hello,

I am from Hong Kong and there is a shop claiming that EA6350 v3 supports MU-MIMO. However I don't see the relevant information on Linksys website. Does anyone have a clue on this one?

Thanks!

The EA6350 does NOT support MU-MIMO only SU

I mean MU-MIMO doesn't really make sense on anything less than a 4x4 unit especially since this is a 2x2 device as most incoming client devices with MU-MIMO support are 2x2.

Can't argue with that logic
