Toughen up your WiFi

ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 is designed to provide stable and fast wireless and wired connections in device-dense environments. It's a router that benefits all devices, from laptops, smartphones, and game consoles right down to all the IoT devices found in modern homes.

As well as faster speeds, the WiFi 6 in TUF Gaming AX5400 is engineered to boost network capacity by up to 4X and increase coverage by up to 80%, so all devices get their fair share of WiFi bandwidth, even in remote corners of the home. It uses OFDMA, a technology in WiFi 6 that allows signals to travel further than they can in WiFi 5. TUF Gaming AX5400 also features a 4x4 MU-MIMO configuration and separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas to reduce interference, along with other enhancements like beamforming, which focuses the signal towards each device for more reliable coverage.

For full coverage in even the largest homes, TUF Gaming AX5400 also supports AiMesh, so it can be used as part of a whole-home mesh WiFi system in conjunction with other AiMesh-compatible ASUS routers.

Ultrafast wired connections

For true multi-gigabit performance, both WAN and LAN connections need to support these speeds. ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 features Link Aggregation for WAN and LAN use, which virtually bonds two Gigabit Ethernet ports together and allows users to enjoy up to 2 Gbps wired Ethernet speeds for their internet connection and their wired network devices. This is especially useful for bandwidth-hungry network devices such as NAS devices and desktop PCs.

ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 is incredibly versatile, with a variety of features that optimize performance in any scenario. The dedicated Gaming Port allows users to prioritize any wired gaming device, and Open NAT enables simple three-step port forwarding. Mobile gamers can prioritize mobile game packets with just a tap in the ASUS Router app.

For home office use, QoS allows tasks such as conference calling to be prioritized, while ASUS AiProtection Pro provides enterprise-grade security for all connected devices. For home learning, parental controls allow parents to manage family internet usage.
