  • Key Specs
    • Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
    • Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
  • General
    • Product Name: WRT32X AC3200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gaming Router with Killer Prioritization Engine
    • Brand: Linksys
    • Model Number: WRT32X
  • Security
    • Data Encryption: true
    • Encryption Type: WPA, WPA2, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Personal (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
    • Firewall Type: None (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
  • Network
    • Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
    • Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
    • Number of Antennas: 4
    • Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
    • Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
    • Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
    • Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
    • Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
  • Certifications Listings & Approvals
    • ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
  • Features
    • Wireless: true
  • Ports
    • Number Of WAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Wide Area Network (WAN). This type of port may simply be labeled "Internet," and it allows the device to share its internet connection with all devices connected to it via LAN ports.)
    • Port Type(s): Other, RJ-45, USB (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)

Q: Do I need a modem for this router even if I just want to have a wired connection from the router to a video gaming system?

A: Yes you'll still need a modem. A modem is what actually brings the internet into your house this just turns it into a WiFi signal and disperses it throughout the house. Also make sure to run a speed test in the router settings to make sure you're getting the full speed you need. Mine was supposed to be around 500mb/s but was locked down to thirty until I ran the test.

Q: Is this compatible with spectrum?

A: Yes it is. I am using it now with Spectrum. Works great

Q: I am a hardcore Xbox One X player should I get this and will I lag using wireless with it? Router will be downstairs Xbox is upstairs

A: I have an xbox and purchased this router due to constant connectivity issues playing Rainbow Six Siege. Not only was this by far the easiest router I have ever set up, it is the fastest. My ping instantly dropped lower than any of my friends. No more connection issues. It even solved an issue that I didn't expect and that is I can now directly connect to one of my friends that I could never directly connect to before. I still have never opened any ports on this router and my NAT type has been open since the install. Only thing I can't tell you is that mine is connected via cable rather than wireless so I can't help you there. Signal strength is great around my house though and outside. Also priority system is much easier to use compared the the Netgear I had.

Q: Have the wrt32 and Nat type is strict and double Nat have tried many thing to fix it and still won't change to open what am I doing wrong

A: Hello. You may need to perform port forwarding. Please email us instead at [email protected] so we can assist you accordingly.

Q: How many devices can hook up to this router.

A: Hi, Tay. The Linksys WRT32X router can support up to a maximum of 32 wireless clients and 4 wired devices.

Q: Just got this and now my netgear extender ac1900 is not working as fast as it used too and can only run one thing on the extender.whereas before you could play xbox and stream a movie and be on the internet . How can I get the speed back in the extender?

A: Get an access point instead of an range extender

Q: Can this router handle 2 Xbox ones at the same time?

A: I currently have 2 PS4's and one Xbox running off of mine and it seems to be working fine. However I also upgraded my internet download speed so that wouldn't be the bottleneck.

Q: Is this a dsl or cable modem?

A: This is a router so it can be connected to any modem. The router is the device that takes the internet from the modem and turns it in a wifi network. To use this device you need to still have a modem from your provider or turn you current modem/ router to a bridge mode to use this router to improve your network.
