  • Solid Upgrade for AiMesh – Stable Wireless Backhaul and Better Coverage
Style: WiFi 6 | AX5400
I upgraded to the ASUS RT-AX5400 to serve as the main router in my home network, pairing it with my older RT-AC68U as a secondary AiMesh node. Setup was straightforward, and the wireless backhaul between the two routers has been impressively stable. I was pleasantly surprised to see a noticeable bump in speed during testing—likely helped by the Cat 5e cable included in the box, which was an upgrade over the older one I had been using. Most importantly, this setup completely eliminated a persistent WiFi blind spot in my home. We now get consistent, strong signal throughout, even in areas that used to struggle. Stability has been excellent so far, with no drops or hiccups. If you’re looking to extend your network using AiMesh and want better performance and coverage without running an Ethernet cable, this is a solid option. Recommended especially for those upgrading from older ASUS routers. ... show more

  • Easy setup
Style: WiFi 6 | AX5400 | Gaming
This router is an absolute beast! From the moment I plugged it in, the performance boost was undeniable. Setup was a breeze with the app, and within minutes I had blazing-fast, stable internet throughout my entire home—including areas that were previously dead zones. The design is sleek and futuristic, and those glowing LED lights give it a high-tech vibe that fits perfectly in my gaming setup. Streaming 4K, online gaming, video conferencing—everything runs smooth with zero lag or buffering. The multiple antennas really do their job with extended range, and I’ve noticed faster speeds even when multiple devices are connected. It also has advanced security features, which give me peace of mind. If you’re looking for top-tier performance, whether for gaming, working from home, or just handling a ton of devices, this router delivers in every way. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Replaced Netgear AX5400
Style: WiFi 6 | AX5400 | Gaming
Our house has been filling up with many wifi 6 devices so early in the year, we finally transitioned to a wifi6 capable router, the Netgear AX5400. In short summary, the ASUS AX5400 is better in every possible way than the Netgear it replaced, even with both being AX5400 speed. Stability: This was my absolute number 1 priority and requirement for a wireless router. The ASUS has been rock solid and stable. All devices connect without issue and do not drop. The Netgear would randomly drop a device for no reason at all, logs never showed anything. The ASUS router has never randomly rebooted and lost internet. The Netgear would randomly lose internet until a forced reset. The stability issues with the Netgear was driving my family and me crazy and this was the reason we got the ASUS. I'm very meticulous about our settings and firmware updates so I understood very well how to setup each router. The Netgear just wasn't very stable. Speed: The ASUS 5Ghz speeds are very fast as expected. The speeds are pretty much identical to the Netgear it replaced. The 2.4Ghz speeds are actually slightly slower than the Netgear, but I actually do not mind, the only 2.4Ghz devices I have are smart plugs, sensors and other IOT devices which don't require bandwidth BUT they do need stability, which the ASUS provides. Range: The ASUS range is MUCH better than the Netgear on both 2.4 and 5 Ghz. The Netgear would have barely any signal while I'm in the garage (furthest point from the router). The ASUS has a Good signal and even has signal when sitting in the car in my driveway, outside of the garage, which is much further from the router. Our entire backyard has good signal. We considered using AI mesh but now I don't think it's even necessary. Gaming: Not sure what gaming mode adds but I tested ping times to a game server. With a wired connection, it is a solid 15-20ms. With wifi6 wireless laptop 2 rooms away, it is still 15-20ms. But turning gaming mode off still gave us the same ping, so not sure what it actually enhances or not. Interface: The ASUS web interface and android app is miles ahead of Netgear. The Netgear web interface looks like an old ASP web app without even the full set of options available. The ASUS android app is very clean and easy to use and has all the "most used options" only a button click away. They obviously have done usability studies. The Netgear app looks much better than their web interface but takes forever to connect to the router. Conclusion: The ASUS AX5400 is a much better router than the Netgear AX5400. I don't know if Netgear's firmware need more work or whatever but the comparison isn't even close, in my opinion. ... show more
