Review: Easy setup and great performance - 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. desertcart 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.
Review: The greatest little spaceship ever - 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. desertcart 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect router
*by S***M on August 30, 2020*

This thing is amazing. I consider myself relatively home network savvy, but definitely not the most advanced. After a few years of using my own modem/router combo instead of paying Comcast for their garbage, I decided to upgrade. Primarily because I was having network issues and couldn’t narrow down whether the issue was with the modem or router portion of my combo device. If you come away from this review with one point, let it be to NOT buy modem/router combo devices. They’re fine until they’re not, but you’re compromising performance for convenience. Anyhow, this router is amazing. Totally friendly with my Motorola modem, incredibly easy to set up using the TP Link app, and ridiculously good tri-band performance. I’ve dedicated one 5 band to gaming devices, the other 5 band to streaming and laptops, and the 2.4 band to IoT and misc. devices. Everything functions flawlessly. Devices don’t need to fight for traffic or bandwidth, my IoT speed and performance doubled, and I’m looking forward to using some of the more advanced features like setting up a SSD to be a cloud drive on the network. Is this overkill for my home network? Yes. But, I expect that I’ll be able to use this as part of my home network for long enough to see it used more meaningfully. If you understand that this thing is expensive but an absolute beast, you won’t be disappointed.
