  • Top Notch Network Performance
Style: AX5400 | Gaming Router
After owning my nighthawk router for years, I decided to finally pull the plug and get a decent router that was not going to fail us miserably. Right off the bat, I noticed that the router wasn't bulky (a major plus) and it included a short ethernet cable to set it with my modem. The instructions were clear, concise and I was able to get it up and running within 5-10 minutes. Upon usage, I can definitely say that this router is reliable in terms of connectivity and pretty fast. Features: The router I purchased has four ethernet ports, one USB 3.0 port, fast wireless connectivity, and even a dedicated app which lets you customize settings to optimize performance for work, gaming, and even casual use. Within the app, you are also able to turn off the LED lights and change the Aura RGB on the router. Not to mention, it also has a security feature to protect against malicious attacks. Performance: The performance on this router is impressive; A major upgrade from what I had before. We tested its performance using various devices, including PCs, laptops, smart TVs, Gaming Consoles and it delivered a fast and reliable connection. UE: The router is easy to set up and use. Once everything is set up, you can use the mobile app-based to manage various settings, including parental controls and QoS optimization. Although, I would say that mobile app design can be a little confusing for those who are locating specific features since some just show icons with no text. Nonetheless, after messing with the app, you will be fine. Conclusion: I can definitely say that this router has impressed me, especially for the price. It's a great choice for people who want something simple yet reliable. Although the UI may throw some people off, this router is a great option for those who value performance and reliability. As time goes by, I can definitely keep this updated. ... show more

  • Replaced Netgear AX5400
Style: AX5400 | Gaming Router
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

  • Prefect balance of performance and efficiency
Style: AX5400 | Gaming Router
Update 7/16/24: it seems to be holding up. Purchased in September 2023. Came with firmware 3.0.0.4.386.50224 installed. It's been through a few firmware updates and is now on 3 0.0.4.388.24231. No drops or latency spikes seen. Strong, consistent wifi signal too. Only time will tell me how reliable it is at this point . 10/14/23: My initial experience with this product? It's flying along (and even looks like a spaceship). At first I tried an RT-AX58U which has great 5 ghz speeds but some devices were stuck getting 60-70 mbps download speeds over 2.4 ghz. Too bad because I liked the lower power consumption of that model (most of the time at 6 watts or lower power consumption). Now I also have aan RT-AX88U which performs really well on both 2.4 and 5 ghz but consumes on average 8-9 watts and frequently peaks just over 10 watts. Because I'm trying to lower electricity costs in my home, I eventually tried this model (which was overlooked previously because of its lights. Not into the rgb thing). I should've gone with this model in the first place! Those same devices are getting 107-110 mbps download speeds over 2.4 ghz. In fact, performance is very close to the RT-AX88U! Of course performance over 5 ghz is stellar like both the RT-AX58U and RT-AX88U where my phone that supports wifi 6 gets 370+ mbps and my older phone that supports wifi 5 gets 360+ mbps download speeds. I'm still on a Spectrum 300 mbps plan so this is great for what I have! Upload speeds are only 12 mbps on all devices which is expected with a coaxial cable connection. Power consumption is right where I want it at 6-7 watts most of the time (heavy streaming of 4k and 1080p content on 2-3 devices with a mixture of work devices and phones making up the remainder of the workload here). Ultimately this review is much earlier than I'd normally write one so I can't comment on longevity. Will update later about that. So far I'm impressed! ... show more
