AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router

Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything

The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.

Warp Speed for Smooth 8K Streaming

Drastically improved speeds enable smoother streaming, faster downloading, and gaming, all at the same time. Need to go faster? Hop on 5 GHz with full speed-boosting features to stream multiple 8K videos without lagging.

Extensive Wi-Fi Coverage with Advanced Technology

Enjoy stable Wi-Fi connections in all rooms, even in the kitchen and bedroom. High-Power FEM, 6× antennas, beamforming, and 4T4R structures combine to adapt Wi-Fi coverage to perfectly fit your home and concentrate signal strength towards your devices.

Connect More Devices

Easily handle dozens of devices streaming and gaming at the same time — OFDMA and MU-MIMO combine to future-proof your home network by providing greater capacity to connect more devices.

  • OFDMA - Enables different devices to share one transmission stream, increasing efficiency.‡
  • MU-MIMO - Transmits data to different devices simultaneously using multiple streams.**

Designed to Be Cool

The slant rectangle atop of the scaled armor design provides a contemporary aesthetic. The vent design takes up 167 cm² (25 in²) of its top surface for improved heat dissipation, unleashing the whole machine's full power.

TP-Link HomeShield: Advanced Security for Your Network and Clients

  • Enhanced IoT Security - HomeShield identifies IoT devices, including cameras and voice assistants, to block all potential security holes and secure your privacy.
  • DDoS Attack Prevention - HomeShield will record abnormal incoming traffic, and the device will automatically block requests from enlisted IPs.
  • Robust Parental Controls - Manage online time and block inappropriate content to keep your family safe online.
  • Leading Security by Avira® - Avira, an award-winning tech company, relied on by 500 million users, powers HomeShield and continually updates it, ensuring your network stays worry-free.

Wireless Application Network Map

Press Release: Archer AX73—The Top Structure and Full Bandwidth Build for an Ultra-Fast 5.4 Gbps WiFi Network

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage and quantity of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.

‡Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and other features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, MU-MIMO or HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features.160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.

*HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.

***This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11ax specification.

****Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.

Features
