I got this to replace my landlords 802.11n router which I get ~20mpbs when i'm 1 floor away from it. I'm only using it for myself. This router gives me ~900mpbs when i'm right next to it; about ~400mbps when i'm 1 floor away, which does saturate my internet plan but not my ethernet NAS. but WHY is this? ain't this supposed to be a 5400mbps router hence the name AX5400? Well the 5400 is just a marketing trick. The maximum wifi6 computer handles is 2X2 MIMO + 160mhz = 2.4gpbs theoretical speed, or 1.2gpbs real world speed if you're lucky (there is no 4X4 160mhz wifi6 cards on the market; why? intel probably just wants to see the world burn); the 5400 just means it will support 2 devices at 2.4gpbs (maybe you have 2 computers right next to this router which connects 2 ethernet NAS and you're connecting them simultaneously to make this use case meaningful... i don't know why). You might think this sounds like an AX3000 router will just do the job, yes if you can find a 2X2 MIMO 160mhz router; but chances are all ax3000 routers are 4X4MIMO + 80mhz instead and you'd have halved speed this way, so you'd still need an AX5400 router... Other than the huge marketing letdown, this router does the job; it's merlin supported (through an official fork); it has 512MB RAM which only AX86U (a really odd one) beats; wifi has been very stable for the month I bought it; one USB is sorta a letdown but I'd rather use a dedicated NAS, so I don't need one for the opkg expansion drive and one for a DAS ; I run aria2 and a flask api to download and upload very slow connections, and it works perfectly only falling short to a dedicated celeron DIY router. This unit competes with wifi6 openwrt routers, craigslist AX86U and AX92U, and your custom celeron DIY router + AP. I'd recommend you check out your local craigslist first; I saw an AX92U near mine because they are sold in 2 packs and sometimes people don't need the second one. If you can snag one of that for sub $100 that's a good deal (although it's possible AX92U won't ever see ASUSmerlin, and warranty issues of course). AX86U is a bit rarer since its a toptier model and only a few people bought GT-AX11000 to replace their AX86U. If you have a quite heavy network use case (running firewalls, DNS filtering, webhosting and stuff) it's obviously better to use a celeron or even i3 DIY router since you'll have infinitely better hardware with just $100-$200; but it's also quite expensive and you need to find yourself 160mhz wifi6 APs, and they are just in a different price tier. As for openwrt wifi6 I only see xiaomi ax6000 as a real contender here; it's a great router on paper (and only $100 too!) but I've heard xiaomi routers being unstable sometimes. one last tip: don't use iperf2 on the router itself as the server/client, limited by CPU power this router only yields ~400mpbs; once I ran iperf on two computers I get 900mpbs.

This was a great buy! I needed something that would hold up to all the gaming and streaming that I have going on in my home. The interface is easy to use and easy to set up!

Pros: - Very strong Wi-Fi signal even through thick concrete walls. - Loaded with plenty of features and customization such as QoS, firewall, TrendMicro's list of filters for malicious sites and more. - Subjective: good looking design. - Supports Asus mesh so you can repurpose older Asus routers to strengthen your signal. - Has a mobile app where you can control and configure anything. - Has dual band offering 2.4 and 5 GHz network plus 3 different guest access networks for each band (for a total of 6). - Good performance. Cons: - The USB for remote storage is rather unnecessary as the router is not powerful enough. You should consider a NAS. - A bit pricy for the performance, depending on your networking knowledge, you could create a more robust setup with a proper firewall, router and using separate access points. It is an all in one setup for home users looking to have robust Wi-Fi for large homes or with concrete walls around. The UI is easy to understand and makes the settings accessible and easy to use but it also offers deeper customization if that's what you need.

My work, and personal rigs gets >700Mbps up and down to the router, and I see ZERO lag in games or ping times, and this is at least 30-40 feet away, through 2 walls! Because Optimum gives you a crappy interface that never works via web interface, and it times out, and never lets you connect to the router, nor modify Guest networks, or anything, I bought a ARRIS Surfboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 and this... I thought I needed a tri-band like my last 802.11N router, but since we are well over 328 ft from our nearest neighbor, we have less interference on WiFi, and can't even see their SSIDs, and the single 5Ghz channel seems to work well for 3 wireless PCs, 3 TVs, and all our phones and tablets. (We are looking to take on a roommate in the extra bedroom, so once they arrive, we shall see how this dual-channel works, and I'll update this.)

Wifi6 works great! Even helps with setting up IPv6 if you want to go there with lan I hope you will if your isp supports it. Only con is the RGB light is very particular on colors (for some reason gold is green) but you can turn it off.

We are in the process of moving so I let my twin boys who moved out into their own apartment have the old ASUS AC3200 router and I purchased a new AX5400. I had no idea what i was missing out on, don't get me wrong our old router was still handling business just fine with the occasional need for a restart. But this thing rocks, noticeably faster connections and better signal strength and the user interface update is cool and simple. I wanted multiple cores processor and this one has 3 core processor. I would recommend this for home office or gaming, it works great.

The router is great. I have the aimesh system with Asus. What I really like about asus is that they provide constant software updates to their routing equipment, the also provide de aimesh system, which is great to have a single ssid around your have, so you don't have to be switching devices. I have another one of these TUF-AX5400 as my main router, I bought this one to act as a aimesh node, since the signal is better than my other aimesh node from ASUS (RT-AX3000). This router is far better than the RT-AX3000, but it is a pricier. Trick is to buy the TUF-AX5400 on promo, which gets down to a price of around $150 similar price to the RT-AX3000 on amazon, but better specs and better signal. I also have a RP-AX56 as part of my setup, but that one is expensive ($100) for a repeater that offers few features. So now, when I want to add a new aimesh node as AP to my property, I get the TUF-AX5400, but on promo (just set an alarm on camelizer, it will send you and email when to buy). These promos runs every 3 months or so. The things I did not like too much about the TUF-AX5400 is that one of the antennas in my last one was very brittle and broke as soon as I was unboxing it (antennas are non-replaceble). Wifi coverage is good in 5GHz, but This router is not on 6GHz (it does not have the hardware capability), so thats a down side. I haven't yet made the transition to wifi 6E cause very few endpoint devices support it, and the routers that support it are very expensive, specially from ASUS. Also, I noticed that other brands have a more powerfull signal, so those reach further, so I am inclined to say that this router coverage is medium range. Why do I get this one if the coverage is not that great?... Well I notice this router has not so far coverage, but good quality of signal, great transition software from node to node with aimesh and great software update with tons of features. So price/quality, I think this is one of the best routers on the market if you want to have mesh (and need to stay with one brand, ASUS rocks in home routers). PROS: -Good software updates -Great for mesh using aimesh -Good number of antennas -Decent coverage -Lots of features via the asus software -Asus app updates regularly with new features as well to manage from your mobile phone -At least tries to integrate with alexa -QOS Cons: -Brittle non-replaceble antennas -Pricy (unless you get it on discount). -Non wifi6E ready (but you cannot expect that for this price at this time [early 2023]) -Other manufactures seem to have further reach on the 5Ghz band

I’ll preface this by saying i use this router specifically to play PCVR games on my Oculus (Meta) Quest 2 with the Wireless Link option. I don’t have a comment on upload or download speeds, nor can I comment on the bandwidth of the router. I have 4 devices connected it it at any given time but only one of them is actively used at any time. 2 phones, a gaming vr headset and my pc. With that being said, the oculus quest two has wireless capability of Wifi 6 (802.11 AX) and while my last router was Wi-Fi five, I saw a very small but noticeable glitches when trying to play PCVR games. This router, removes those glitches and makes for a more enjoyable playing experience. The router is about 4 to 5 feet away from my headset at any given time so I can’t comment on the range either. I know that the router is on the second floor and there are times where I’ll be in the living room on the first floor and if I’m sitting between my phone and the router the Wi-Fi signal will go down on my phone but it won’t be unusable. Otherwise pretty decent device for my needs, might be a little overkill for some.
