Hot Hardware published a review on the MU-MIMO Router Head-to-Head: Linksys EA7500 vs. Netgear Nighthawk X4S
A quote from the article:
The second wave of 802.11ac routers are now shipping, and they offer a tantalizing performance benefit over the previous routers we?ve reviewed (at least with their older firmware) ? the ability to broadcast multiple data streams to several clients at once. This technology, named MU-MIMO, which stands for Multiple User: Multiple Input, Multiple Output, is just now starting to roll out, and is different in one obvious way to the previous technology, named simply MIMO.MU-MIMO Router Head-to-Head: Linksys EA7500 vs. Netgear Nighthawk X4S @ HotHardware
The previous solution was only able to broadcast multiple streams of data, but could only transmit to one client at a time, whereas this new MU-MIMO technology can send multiple data streams to multiple users at the same time, so it could represent quite a leap forward in performance when multiple MU-MIMO enabled systems are connected through the router. The industry, and users like ourselves, have been looking forward to this advancement for quite some time...
