Fix for "Connected, no internet" - (hint: disable MU-MIMO)
For
the most part, this router works flawlessly. The biggest issue I had
was with keeping my Samsung S7 Edge connected to the Internet. I would
continually see the message "Connected, no internet" on my WiFi settings
page of my phone. I would have to disable WiFi on my phone, then
re-enable it, and this would work for a few minutes. I had other
laptops, tablets, printers, Roku devicess, Nest thermostats, and phones
that could stay connected without any trouble, by my S7 Edge was driving
me crazy. I'm not sure who is at fault, but either Samsung or Linksys
has messed something up in their implementation of MU-MIMO. I say that
because the fix for "Connected, no internet" for me was to disable
MU-MIMO on the router. After logging in to the router's web admin
interface, manually change the URL from "home.html" to
"advanced-wireless.html". Look on the available tabs for the option to
disable MU-MIMO. I disabled MU-MIMO and now my Samsung S7 Edge stays
connected perfectly.
BUY NOWI am giving this 4 stars because of the MU-MIMO issue and the fact that the advanced wireless page is not documented by Linksys anywhere that I could find. I saw another unrelated forum post somewhere and decided to give it a try on my router.
