Crazy Fast Wi-Fi 6 Router With Awesome Range | Asus TUF Gaming AX5400

It runs at about 38 degrees Celsius which is alright and it's been on for more than a month now. So these temperatures are okay. Alright so after a lo...

* I'd rather go with ASUS because of the AI mesh option. * I'd like it to be WiFi 6 because I use it to stream to my Oculus Quest 2 and futureproofing. * We have a 100mbps connection to the internet, but it may be upgraded to gigabit internet in the next 3 years.

Good router with better than expected range

I bought this to replace my WRT32X, which hasn't received an update since 2018, but was otherwise fine. This was to better support my ax devices, provide better network security, and give me time to wait for WiFi 7 to become more prominent. AIprotection seems like a great addition, but I won't know ...

I just bought a netgear powerline 1200 and didn’t see a difference, honestly saw a decrease in speed while connect to my ps4. 1 adapter was hooked up to my PS4 and other to the att gateway on the gigabit port. I also bought an asus rt-ax82u router and hooked it up to the gateway, not sure if that was a smart idea. Not sure if the asus router was a smart idea.

Nice upgrade over NightHawk XR500

Modem performs well, has a nice GUI on desktop & phone app, LEDs can be turned on and off. Speedtest results on XFinity gigabit service: Windows PC on wired LAN: 947 mbps Note 10 on Wi-Fi 6: 807 mbps Galaxy S9+ on Wi-Fi 5: 490 mbps Compared to my failing 10 month old NightHawk XR500 (random reboots/...

After much debate, I went with the Asus rt-ac86u and it was great - for 3 weeks. It managed my router vpn and IoT array well without any issues.

Worth the money!

I didn't rate Tech support because I have not contacted them. The signal is better that my previous router and I have not had any of my internet of things fail because it lost signal or? What caused me to replace my WIFI router was that my connected components would drop off and lose signal. One of ...

I also see this is tri-band and the asus is dual band. I have been using the ASUS AX5400 for the last 3-4 months on gigabit from my ISP and its been great, wired and wireless.

Strong signal. WiFi6 is awesome!

Not going to lie this was a splurge to replace an ancient router. I have a new phone, girlfriend has a new phone, both are WiFi6 - we have two 4k TV, and old school 802.11n doesn't cut it when we're all using it. I have 400Mbit internet which is plenty - but never had the wifi bandwidth. My phone ha...

Struggles of being a newbie… please help me choose my next router!

Both 3 + 4 are nearly the same router. The ax5400 is slightly quicker. The gundam version of the 82u looks great.
