Linksys today announced the launch of the Linksys MR8300 Max-Stream Tri-Band Gaming Mesh WiFi AC2200 Router in Malaysia.

The MR8300 is a high-performance router that delivers up to 2.2 Gbps of superior speed and is ideal for homes that require massive bandwidth for 4K entertainment and peak mobile gaming. The router is powered by a 716 MHz quad-core processor that improves overall network performance for faster wired, wireless, and WAN to LAN speeds.

In a Tolly benchmark test, the MR8300 performed at least 71% better than competition routers in a real-world congested environment consisting of six gaming cell phone clients and another 21 active (and idle) devices that were connected to the test routers. The MR8300 achieved an average ping-time of 7.3ms against other competitor routers while heavily loaded with mobile gaming clients and background application traffic. That’s some pretty impressive stuff!

“Malaysia’s mobile gaming market is growing rapidly. According to Statista, NewZoo and ChartBoost, it was estimated that in 2018, over four million players contributed to a revenue of US$54 million – more than half of the US$100 million overall gaming market.

“With the increase of leisure mobile gamers in Malaysia, consumers can now experience seamless WiFi roaming across homes while gaming in real time, without the trouble of switching network names. Besides that, MR8300 Tri-Band Gaming Mesh Router, which equips with two 5GHz radios allows you to do video streaming, while delivering a lower ping time despite having multiple users connected on the same WiFi network.”
