Was wondering if I should buy this router recently and found this perfection of a video. Love that you went in-depth and tested it between 2 floors. Thankyou very much for answering all my questions!
I was thinking about buying a mesh to maximize my wifi range for the 1st floor above me. But this video shows wifi 6 can reach those ranges well. I saved some money
great video!! thank u so much for making this. exactly what I needed as the deciding factor before buying my ner router! I will go with this router as well, thank u again
Thank you for showing the backside of the router, my set up requires it to be hanging on the wall. From the lack of screw mount holes I'll have to look at an alternative.
Great video, and very informative!! But I had one question on the usage of the mesh wi-fi system with this router....Do you HAVE to use Asus brand mesh systems with this particular Asus router or can you use any brand with it?? Thank you for your time and keep up the awesome work on the channel. You are one of my favorite UA-camrs!!!
Does not work with bigger houses brick walls. 2 walls apart and it looses almost the conection. How did you get those speeds? Mine in the first floor gets 10 mb speeds for a 500 mb nos router Como conseguiste estes valores. Através da placa cá de casa este router perde muito.. até no mesmo piso com duas paredes pelo meio é uma desgraça. Estou a pensar mesmo devolver a amazon
New to your channel. Will upgrading from a dsl-modem router with only WiFi ac to WiFi ax handle more simultaneous connected WiFi devises? Nice channel with lots of vids!👍
I can't decide between ASUS TUF-AX5400 vs Tp-Link Archer AX73. The specification is very similar, but I'm interested in stability and WIFI coverage. Maybe someone can share the experience.
im looking at the Tuf-Ax6000 my problem is atm to plug my LAN cable from my pc ps5 ect i need to run the wire throughoit my whole house to plug into the modem router (not sure if my terms are correct) can this sit in my room and connect to my internet without a wire and then i can just plug the cable to this router in my room to my device or does the router its self need a wired connection to my internet
Hi, what type of walls do you have in the building? I'm looking for a way to get wireless signal into a garage which is about 10m away from the house, so signal needs to pass two 30cm brick walls or so, if I'd get 20Mbit up/down as you showed in 2-floor test, it would be probably enough :)
Hi ,in Portugal the usual in recent constructions, the standard is to have slab and pillars in reinforced concrete, and double walls with 15cm bricks, total about 40cm, with insulation in the middle,
Hey any chance you can test the speed and signal strength from the basement if you place the router on your topmost floor? You've done the reverse and gotten about 20mbps from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
Is the biggest coverage some kind of joke? I tested this Asus and the range is weak. The range of the 5G network is worse than that of the cheap Archer C80. Both routers were in the same place, Asus -77dBm and 165Mbps, Archer -73dBm and 238 Mbps. At the measurement point, the signal from the Archer was stable, Asus disconnected the connection.
Will this work on BT FTTP? Thinking of 900 speed package. Will it replace the BT smart hub or do i plug the AX5400 into hub? Although that means having 3 boxes plugged in for FTTP! Can i just enter my VPN unlimited username/password to activate VPN?
Hi. Is it normal for this router to have lower speeds compared from the main modem it's connected? When my PC(LAN) is connected to this router, I'm just getting about 490-512. But when I connect to my main modem, I'm getting 600Mbps which is my current speed plan.
@@Mujahed. yes I do still below 15 ping average to this day few months in now I prefer nighthawk could be my location but I had tested diff ones every year every single top tier and I prefer nighthawk although it could be better one out there ! They always release new ones time to time
@@ROBBER011 Okay so here is the update, AI Mesh works with the RT-AC88U however, over the course of a few days with no issues, suddenly, my Wifi drops out or becomes incredibly slow where I have to literally remove the AX5400 from the network to bring it back to regular stable internet. My take on this is, avoid the AX5400.
I was going to ask about this. How is it compared to RT AX82U. I have 82U. The only different is the number of antenas and softwares built in the router
Ax53u has better signal and range but has no mesh and only usb 2.0. On the other hand, tuf ax5400 was restarting every two days with external hdd connected to usb. Maybe mine was faulty but i noticed thau memory usage went up to 95% after i accesed files from hdd and didnt go down.
Seriously? I have ax53u and i'm planning to get the tuf-ax5400 because it has a better range than the tuf-ax3000. Question: can your ax53u power a portable hdd?
@@bumblebee4520 it is going 2 drive 1tb hdd, not enoug power for 2tb. Ax5400 has enough powrr for 2tb hdd and superior write speed but router was shutting down other features to preserve ram when i used an hdd . Maybe they fixed the issue, but i doubt it. Oh, and router was restarting every 2 days when i used the hdd, same thing was happening on my old rt n56u. Maybe if u use 3.5 " external hdd, it has power supply, then it woul work.
@@bumblebee4520 Probably it is. I bought one more 53u for a relative and it has better signal range than mine. It seems to be a lottery with this routers. Testet both at my place and same spot so we can rule out other variables.

How is it?
I have 2 of these as a mesh to cover our 2 story house one for each floor, amazing router 😃 beats my old ax3000 tuff setup
Great review, I was wondering if this series is good, you cover most of my questions.
Best review of this router ! I did not know about the link agregation
Thank you for showing the backside of the router, my set up requires it to be hanging on the wall. From the lack of screw mount holes I'll have to look at an alternative.
please recommend: TUF Gaming AX5400 or rt-ax82u?
me too in same confusion
I have RT AX82U CC @claearsky180 i am in confusion too with the range in connection to number of antennas

Hi, i dont have another unit but i think that it has to be ASUS so that we can configure both on the mesh.
Thanks for your support 👍👍
Isn't that AX6000? Why are all AX6000 listed as AX5400 on youtube...? Asus page states AX5400 has 4 antennaes, while 6000 has 6.
They are different and is European option for 5400 maybe not available in your region but same hardware as tuf-6000 basically

Hi @Janis Janis which one you bought finally? Hows the performance (stability and WIFI coverage)?
I have the same question
TUF Hands down, the ax73 coverage is rubbish
asus of course
Nice video helped me to buy . Does this support dual wan i meant to broadband connection

no
Would this be a good replacement for 2 mesh Asus ac68u replacement? House has lath and plaster walls and is 2 story, one ac68u wasn't cutting it..
Well I bought this and the coverage is crap notice in the specs the don't list transmission power I wonder why?
Roberto speed test for such a router is no fun..... Please do a video with Openspeed test
I was wondering if it had 5ghz or just 2ghz or both thank you ?
Does this have geofencing?
Sir roberto can you review tp link archer ax5400. Please...
Great video..have you experienced with streaming like Twitch? If so how was it?
I can't decide between ASUS TUF-AX5400 vs ASUS RT-AX86S...
did you managed to set vlans with this router?
do i get wifi if i just plug it in or do i have to buy an subscription

GET THE JOOS LOVE IT!😄
What other routers have you tested?
U didn't have 160Mhz on? Was that on in the test?
Can i conect this to another ruter without cable ? To use like ekstender my makn network. Regards
For other Asus routers yes
Is the router dead silent or does it come with some sort of active cooling? Is it audible on operation?
THE PLAAAAAAANE IS FLYING BY
no fiber optics input``
Is there wifi repeater mode?

Try disabling QoS, as I read on reddit in a relevant topic.
Just bought this router.... Not impressed. I should have stayed with my ac86u. Aimesh {5ghz connected} keeps dropping internet.
Turn off smart connect.
do this router had a VLAN?
How does s20fe not have wifi6?
Is this better then the nighthawk xr1000? I had the Asus rog ax 11000 and it wasn’t even up to par
🍪
Do you mean the asus ax11000 is inferior to the nighthawk xr1000?
@@fredflint9153 I got both and the nighthawk gives me 0 ping while the other is like an extra 20

tuf ax5400 or asus rt-ax88u?
Tuf is Asus gaming so probably better choice if you plan to game on it as has some bonus features
Am on bt hub 4 do you think this would be upgrade?
Without doubt.
I wanna buy!
Has anyone tested Aimesh with ax5400 and RT-AC88U together?

I subscribe very less but man you got me..
I need 2 USB 3.0 ports!
can use it without modem ?
No it requires modem.
170m coverage
Are their signal drops please reply i am planning to buy please sir please

Its the worst router coverage and speeds i ever have, maybe thats why its always on sale, my old asus AC-RT AC66U is better
