Case Study: Linksys reduces QA time and improves router interoperability with QA Cafe CDRouter

Linksys Uses CDRouter to Reduce QA Time and Ensure Home Router Interoperability

Linksys, the well-known home router maker, needed a better way to perform rigorous protocol testing on its E-series Wi‑Fi routers and “super gateway” devices, especially for IPv6 as consumer gateways moved away from IPv4. Manual protocol-level testing was too slow and tedious, so the company turned to QA Cafe’s CDRouter to help automate and speed up validation of home router interoperability.

Using QA Cafe CDRouter, Linksys automated comprehensive CPE testing, gained detailed logs and packet trace visibility, and made it easier to diagnose issues and verify IPv6 behavior every day. According to Linksys, CDRouter significantly reduced test time, allowing the team to test more often and more thoroughly, while QA Cafe’s responsive support helped them learn new protocols faster and ship a more robust product.
