Incredible AC5400 Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO and Airtime Fairness serves every connection with speed and precision to maximize throughput and response rates.


Battle-Tested Processing Architecture Quad-core means power. A leading-edge 1.8 GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU, three co-processors and 1 GB RAM work tirelessly at the heart of your network command center to deliver the power you need to frag with confidence. While the three co-processors balance Wi-Fi demand, the quad-core CPU executes every service, thread and application to accelerate loading and deliver smooth gameplay.	Intelligent Traffic Prioritization The dynamic optimization engine runs relentlessly to identify traffic, optimize throughput and eradicate latency for a premium quality of service according to standard presets or custom settings. Prioritize gaming above all other activities for a tactical advantage during heated raids, PvP encounters and ranked matches. When you aren’t gaming, fast-track streaming to watch immersive 4K movies with stunning clarity.	Blistering Wi-Fi Speed Get into the action with incredible AC5400 tri-band Wi-Fi speeds over the 2.4 GHz (1000 Mbps) and two 5 GHz bands (2167 Mbps). Three Wi-Fi bands make it easier to streamline your network and stay competitive in the heat of battle. Dedicate one band to gaming traffic while the remaining two deliver high-speed Wi-Fi to the rest of your home, or enable Smart Connect and have the router zero in on the best Wi-Fi band for every device, intelligently driving them to peak performance.	Wi-Fi for Every Device The gaming router harnesses MU-MIMO and Airtime Fairness to understand your Wi-Fi needs and serve every connection with speed and precision, maximizing total throughput and response rates. Calibrated metrics and sophisticated algorithms determine how the router divides air time and distributes dedicated Wi-Fi streams to each device, leaving you to focus on taking down the opposition instead of fighting your allies for bandwidth.


Doubled Wired Connectivity The Archer C5400X offers twice as many Gigabit Ethernet ports as most other routers. Plug your PCs, smart TVs and game consoles into one of the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast and reliable wired connections without needing a separate switch. Team two LAN ports using Link Aggregation to double connection speeds from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps for Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices and PCs. Combine the WAN port with a LAN port to connect DOCSIS 3.1 modems for best-in-industry internet speeds.	Comprehensive Threat Protection Defend your system from malicious threats that can sneak through downloads and file sharing. TP-Link HomeCareTM, powered by Trend MicroTM, protects every device from the latest cyber threats with powerful security, built-in antivirus and cutting-edge intrusion prevention.	Safer Browsing with VPN Access Public Wi-Fi can be dangerous. Protect your data by accessing the internet through the router's built-in VPN server, which creates an encrypted VPN connection back to your home whenever you are using public Wi-Fi. Stay safe while browsing the web and downloading files on public Wi-Fi as VPN Acceleration speeds up OpenVPN connections to your router at home.

The greatest little spaceship ever

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019

UPDATE2: I noticed that my speeds were not what I was paying for. I was clocking at ~120Mbps, paying for 400Mbps.
After a support call to the ISP, and hours of troubleshooting, I discovered that enabling QoS Device priority slams the throughput into the dirt.
So, my advice, do not use QoS Device Priority if you want an individual device to have access to the full bandwidth of your service.

UPDATE1: So after about 6 months, the WAN port went bad. Totally stopped communicating with the modem.
Tried the WAN aggregation feature, which is supposed to turn LAN1 into an additional WAN port. The feature did not seem to work.
Amazon replaced the item and all is good.

This really is a great router. I recently upgraded my ISP Link to 400mbps, and decided to get a better router to go along with the upgraded service since I have so many devices on the network now.
Once the ISP enable the modem, installing the AC5400 was cake. Obtained DHCP address quickly, and was immediately available at the management address for configuration.
I walked through the quick setup to get online quickly.
Setup was simple and quick. You can enable all of your SSID's from one convenient page.
I configure the 2.4 for my smart home devices (better range, speed is not important), one 5GHz band for my streaming devices (TV, tablet, phone) and a hidden 5GHz band for gaming (when not hardwired)
I have my PS4 hardwired, so I tested speeds between wireless (130Mbps) and wired (190Mbps).
I am impressed with the throughput. All devices connected seamlessly during the transition (left credentials same as previous).
The management interface is clean and easy to navigate.
Lots of nice features between Parental Controls (although I wish there was slightly more granular control (lowest access timeout is 30min) and support for OpenVPN is interesting.
You can Bind MAC's to the ARP table, and can create nice generic Firewall catergory filters.
Overall I'm happy with this purchase.
Hardwired PC Ookla test on a 400Mbps link got clocked at 483Mbps, so I'm not sad at all.

Easy setup and great performance

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am not a network guru but had been using the TP Link 1750 with great success for many years. And my experience with TP Link has been positive. I had been thinking about upgrading as we have continued to add wired and wireless devices around the home and I was starting to notice a bit of a lag for connecting with certain devices quickly such as camera video monitoring. And also the range in our two story brick home was a bit of a challenge so I had a repeater/booster as well to get a little better signal in certain areas. Amazon had this 5400 unit at an outstanding price over the Prime days in early July so I purchased it. I was surprised at how simple it was to setup and replace my existing 1750. The interface and ease of use are much improved over the older 1750. And it has really increased our speeds on all bands by about 35 to 50% as well as reduced significantly the latency or time to get data moving. As well we are getting much better coverage and signal strength all around the home including outside on our deck and patio (an area before that was terrible). This device also has 8 Lan ports (up from 4) and that has allowed us to connect a few more gadgets direct to the network. Finally it is an awesome looking device. The large fat racing red and black antennas are really cool and the unit itself looks like an alien spacecraft. Very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this to anyone needing the additional connectivity and thruput offered by this higher end router.

So far so good! Only time will tell...

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019

Pros:
*Very noticeable range and signal strength improvement compared to my 8 year old router (Asus RT-AC66U).
*No drops on connection while watching streaming videos, youtube, surfing the web, gaming, etc.
*Very easy to configure graphical user interface. You can just set it and forget it.
*If you have Alexa Echo, you can use it to send specific commands to this router to change its settings.
*Its tri-band and not dual band... much more versatile in accepting wireless connections.
*Very easy set up also on the hardware part... just attach the antennas, plug-in the power adapter & ethernet cable, and power it on.

Cons:
*The TP-LINK AX11000 is just around the corner which supports the new AX wifi-6 speeds & WPA3 wifi security encryption. If you want to future proof despite the higher cost, you might want to get that instead.
*It's expensive but it does use pretty good hardware (Quad-core 1.8Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, etc.)
*Lack of more gaming centered features compared to Netgear and Asus offerings.
*TrendMicro antivirus & home security is only for 3 years and not lifetime. I wish there's a way to switch this to BitDefender that other router offers once the TrendMicro 3 years subscription expires.

Other Thoughts:
This is TP-Link's 1st gaming router and its pretty expensive. I'm a tech enthusiast and usually will get the best I can get. I was looking at the Netgear's XR700, and Asus ROG AC5300.. which looked pretty good on paper but has more negative reviews than this router so I ended up getting this one instead.

I was kind of torn between getting this one or waiting for the TP-LINK AX11000 but I kind of really need the upgrade quick. But thinking about it again, I game on a wired connection and I don't really have any devices that uses the AX wifi bandwith. Even if I do end up getting devices that uses AX signal in the future, 2.4Ghz & AC 5Ghz bandwith is plenty for my current and most likely future needs. This router covers my entire house already without the need of using mesh/repeaters/extenders.

Most of all, after doing massive downloads (Gigs of data - mostly Steam games), gaming, torrenting, watching 4k streaming videos, surfing the net, chatting, voip, etc... this device has did it all without breaking a sweat. It hasn't dropped any of my connections (both wired & wireless) and its been very stable. This is something rarely present on new released products that's why I'm hesitant to replace this with the new AX11000 offerings from TP-Link, Asus, or Netgear. I might end up with a defective product that is rushed released and not ready for prime time.

TP Link, I usually buy Asus or Netgear products when it comes to home networking but since their top of the line atm have more bad reviews... I'm taking a chance with you guys. I hope this router last a long time. In fact, the router it replaced (Asus RT-AC66U) didn't die or anything. It's just that as my network expands and my wireless needs grows, I have to upgrade. Don't let me down!

FYI:
I also have this same review on N3W3GG

El mejor router al día de hoy. Excelente producto.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Totalmente satisfecho con este producto. Tenía mis dudas y por mucho tiempo estuve dudando en comprarlo. Ya lo había visto hace un par de años. Pero nunca me animé a comprarlo por el costo. Pero decidí aprovechar por una promoción de tarjeta de crédito y además de las otras reseñas.
Nunca suelo dejar reseñas a menos que el producto sea caro y/o útil.
Mi primera impresión es que es ligeramente más pequeño de lo que imaginé, creí que sería una monstruosidad y pesado, pero no, al contrario es de tamaño medio casi del mismo tamaño que mi módem de telmex ligeramente más grande, solo que las antenas lo hacen ver más grande.
Las instrucciones muy fáciles de seguir, manuales en español, la aplicación e interfaz, aunque yo lo cambié a inglés para mi gusto. Tiene como 20 idiomas disponibles.
Me sorprendí en la facilidad de instalación. Lo conecté a mi módem, desactive la red wifi de mi módem para solo dejar disponible la del router. Hice mi cuenta, cree una contraseña y listo. Puedes acceder a toda la interface del router. Y la app de tplink es muy buena. Tienes demasiados puntos útiles en su configuración. Es adaptable con Alexa, y por ejemplo puedes hacer que te envíe notificaciones a tu celular cuando detecte un intruso, o una nueva conexión, un nuevo usuario, conectar cámaras de seguridad, termostatos, etc. en fin un largo número de aplicaciones que aun desconozco.
La señal es de lo mejor, anteriormente había comprado un repetidor de señal que no te da la misma potencia en lugares lejanos, y la conexión principal se vuelve más lenta. Un ejemplo. En mi cuarto en un segundo piso y el módem en el primero, la señal no llega o llega muy corta y muy intermitente,consumia muchos datos de mi cel ya que perdía wifi. En cambio este router me da 100% de red en toda la casa, y con conectividad al 100%. Lo que ahora me da a considerar que puedo instalar en mi cuarto juegos, Xbox, pc, o simplemente una mesa y mi laptop para trabajar sin interrupciones. La señal es super potente y con toda la potencia tal y como si estuviera parado a lado del módem.
Lo que me deja sorprendido es que, siento que ahora mis dispositivos funcionan diferente, es decir, un poco mejor. Usumente mi celular tardaba ligeramente en cargar páginas o videos. Y ahora va todo muy fluido, de igual manera en mi pc. No encuentro ni un corte de red, es como si el flujo de Internet fuera más limpio y directo. Y puedo jugar juegos de celular, como cod online, tft, mobile legends, y la conexión es de lo más estable sin lag.
Definitivamente es una de las mejores inversiones que he hecho.

Worth the price - signal reaches all 4 corners on 5 acres

Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is one great router! I'm not a gamer but I buy gamer devices because they can take abuse and heavy use. So I can't say how it improves or performs under gaming conditions but I can tell you the signal, without any extra effort reaches all 4 corners on a 5 acre acreage shaped like a rectangle. The house is not large, under 1200 sq. ft and it sits fairly central on a 2% rise in the ground level on the property. This may have something to do with the success in getting the signal to reach all 4 corners outdoors.

Perfect for security cameras! I wanted to extend the internet access to the outdoors and outbuildings without having to setup an access point or bridge. I already have an access point system setup that will be removed now.

I was slightly taken aback when the box arrived because it was huge! Despite reading the description which notes the size of the unit it just wasn't registering how big this baby is. I mounted it centrally in the house, which has a fairly open floor plan and mounted it sideways on the wall so all the antennas face south, which is the direction the signal is needed the most. Great feature that this doesn't need to be set up standing upright and has built in wall mounts for hanging.

I really am shocked at the signal reach. The walls, roof and all framing on this house inside & out are 2x6 cedar with stucco exterior so there's plenty of metal mesh in the walls to skew it. Although only one wall to go through in 3 directions due to the open floor plan of the home, to the west it has to go through 3 walls before hitting the outdoors and in that direction standing a good 300 feet away outside, I have darn near full signal on the ipad. In the furthest corner of the property I have 2 bars signal on the iPad so I think that is pretty incredible!

Setup was incredibly easy, I've probably set up 8-10 name brand routers over the years with home business network serving many devices as well as access points, bridges etc. This was by far the easiest, shockingly so! I followed the quickstart guide for setting up wired connection to my desktop and then enabled the wireless. I also downloaded the app prior to install but didn't end up using it for setup. It basically worked out of the box and without any changes by me using default settings. There are lots of settings to play with and the interface makes it easy to do that.

The management interface is quite a treat in comparison to those offered by Dlink, Cisco, Netgear - this is modern, clean, intuitive and easy to read & understand. I love it! I am not one to rely on default settings for management I prefer to login to it via IP address and manage from there and due to the network usage here I often need to tweak, change or add to the network so this is a really nice feature for those who do the same.

I haven't had the need to use the app to manage it yet, perhaps in future.

I was and still am slightly confused by the login procedure, my confusion comes from the login required for tp-link account and then the login on the router itself. I just haven't had time to sit and read the manual in full yet. The only other drawback is the size - it's not only big but kind of ugly and I can see it plainly where it is hung but I'll put up with it for the service it gives! Highly Recommend.

Faster internet speeds, more stable and consistent connections and less ping on wifi vs. plugged in

I have better faster internet speeds, more stable and consistent connections and less ping while on wifi vs. when I was hardwired in directly to my internet source.

Before this router I would get about 200-450 mbps download and 18-35 mbps upload while plugged in drectly to my landline. On wifi about 70 mbps download and even less upload. But when everybody was using the internet in my household the ping would skyrocket and speeds slow down even when plugged in directly to the modem! I got this device and set up the wan aggregation ( Two ethernet cables plugged in to router connected to modem.) Also then found out about their Qos software settings. You can legit set your networks to prioritize your devices always so when everybody is on using internet you still get a stable consistent connection which is amazing for me.

So with wan aggregation, Qos settings optimized and the device placed properly my download speeds are usually at a consistent number between 300-800 mbps depending on the time of day/night with the exact same ms (ping) in games as when I was hardwired direct. Also getting about 50-110 mbps upload. WHILE USING WIFI INSTEAD OF THE HARDLINE. I dont understand how this has happened or how in the world this makes sense but its what im experiencing. Im assuming I have a bottle neck with my cat7 cables or my modem or idk what but I have better faster internet speeds, more stable and consistent connections and less ping while on wifi vs. when I was hardwired in directly.

TBH its kind of wack 'cause it doesn't really make sesne and its been really puzzling me for last few months now but Im totally okay with it as I have better internet now because of a wifi router?! I should mention that my speeds while plugged in when ran through this router inexplicably increased a good chunk too and was faster than the wifi speeds however Im running my systems upstairs now so I had to go to wifi and all I can say is that this router is 100% worth it if you can afford it and are looking specifically for faster, more reliable and more consistent wifi internet speeds and ping.

Este Router resolvió mi problema de desconexión.

Reviewed in Mexico on May 9, 2020

Con el COVID19 he estado trabajando en casa, constantemente en juntas en linea WEBEX y MS TEAMS. Conectado por WIFI constantemente sufría de desconexión de audio, la pantalla congelada, era estresante. Ademas un hijo estaba en clases virtuales, el otro viendo Netflix, mi esposa también en juntas virtuales. La demanda de internet era mucha y el modem de Telmex no puede con tantos equipos conectados al mismo tiempo.

Esto me llevó a comprar el Router Archer C5400X, este router solucionó todos mis problemas de intermitencia en el wifi. El software de TP-Link no lo había usado pero no he batallado para conectar los equipos (incluyendo MAC).

Lo que me gustó:
- No tuve problemas para instalarlo, desactive el wifi del modem de Telmex y por cable lo conecte al Router. Solo seguí las instrucciones de instalación sin mayor conocimiento técnico.
- La aplicación Thether es sencilla, estable y fácil de usar. Yo no había usado TP-LINK, pero me gusta.
- No he tenido ningún problema con el router, el equipo trabaja bien y sin problemas, ni complicaciones.
- Es muy fácil administrar la conexión de equipos individualmente, con 3 opciones de wifi (1 de 2.4hz y 2 de 5hz)
- En el caso de los juegos en linea, ya no tengo problemas de desconexión.

Lo que me sorprendió:
- Ya no tengo problemas de wifi intermitente, puedo hacer mis llamadas por internet sin problema.
- El Router tiene mucho mayor alcance, duplicó el rango, ahora tengo wifi en toda la casa (3 pisos) sin necesidad de un extensor de wifi.
- La capacidad de tener un control parental es una maravilla... con esto puedo controlar mejor en cada equipo conectado a que los niños hagan su tarea limitando su acceso a paginas de juegos, Facebook, YouTube, Tiktok, etc.
- La mayoría de mis equipos tenían capacidad de conectarse a la red 5hz, esta dice tener un rango Menor de cobertura, pero en mi caso la señal funciona perfectamente inclusive en el 2do piso lejos (router ubicado en el 1er piso).

Lo que encontré diferente a mis expectativas:
- Pensé que las antenas se doblaban, pero no en el Router Archer C5400X, son fijas.
- En las fotografías parece como si la parte de arriba y parte de las antenas tuvieran colores gris plateado, pero es el caso, en realidad es todo negro, que al final me gusta mas así.
- Tengo una bocina Alexa conectada al WIFI y funciona perfectamente con el wifi del Router C5400X, pero encontré que el software no es compatible para hacer que Alexa ejecute cambios en el router.

Vale la pena la inversión, si fue caro pero administra el Router administra muy bien el wifi. Si quieres dejar de batallar para entrar a tus conferencias de trabajo, jugar en linea sin que se detenga la imagen a cada rato, si quieres tener mayor control con la cantidad de tiempo que tus hijos usan internet, este equipo te ayuda a hacerlo.
