Top reviews
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only complaint is that it requires yet another app on my phone. I already had the TP-Link Deco app for the mesh system, and needed to install the Tether app for this one. Would much have preferred to manage both systems via just the Deco app. But that's an annoyance because I like fewer apps that do more across a manufacturer. Who knows, maybe TP-Link will fix that someday.
Even with that minor annoyance, this is a 5-star router with features that exceed the price point.
This router however finds the right balance in all the features which I was looking to upgrade. I was looking in the range of about $100 and tried to AX3000. However, it heats up too fast and then starts to thermal throttle the speed and doesn't even stay connected with the clients like a laptop or mobile devices. I have tried a Netgear router from Costco AX4300 but fall short when around 20 devices are connected to it and don't support the mesh networking.
Features which I wanted and like:
Range:
This device has a superb range by itself and covers my home pretty easily. I see I have a good wifi signal at all ends of my home and I live in a 2-floor apartment with the router placed upstairs.
Mesh:
I like to receive a good network in my backyard as well and so I have added a RE505X which costs another 80 bucks but saves money on my mobile data plan as I don't invest in an unlimited data plan. There is only 1 SSID that is broadcasted and it automatically switches based on where I am in the home.
Heat:
Some routers heat up and create a fire hazard and also have the probability of breaking down sooner than I like them to. This is not the case with this one and it stays relatively cooler and never experienced any slowing down of the network. I have touched it to check several times and it's good.
Setup:
The setup was really easy. The basic setup can be done in minutes and there is no RnD required. The tether app is pretty cool for basic setup. I also have requirements for static IP based on mac address and port forwarding. Both of them are easy to configure. They also have support for dynamic DNS so you can easily host your basic website in your home network. For this, I need static IP address reservation and port forwarding.
Parental controls:
This is a real plus that allows me to block youtube or any site whenever I need to get my kid away from the TV.
Reboot schedule:
I like to have a reboot schedule which is good this router has it and very easy to set up.
LED lights:
This router allows to turn off led lights and I like it that way once the setup is complete.
Summary:
I think its a router for average home with right balance of ease of use and price and features.
Note: I have not been paid for this review and have bought the router with my own money.
2 Weeks Update:
Going strong with over 20 devices connected, no disconnections reported by anyone in device. I have 3 heavy internet users at home. No heating issues, range is good.
4 Months Update:
Working perfectly for 4 months. No issues.
2 year update
Still works as new with no issues
The range of features offered by the AX5400 is quite impressive. The parental controls and device prioritization options are very handy, allowing me to manage and optimize my network for various tasks. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, making customization a straightforward process.
However, I did notice that the speeds were not as fast as I expected when compared to higher-end models like the TP-Link AX6000. While the AX5400 provides reliable and decent speeds, there's a slight gap when compared to the AX6000. In heavy usage scenarios, I noticed that the speed occasionally dipped more than it did with the higher-tier router.
Overall, the TP-Link AX5400 WiFi 6 Router is a solid choice for most households. Its feature set and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to any network setup. However, if you're looking for top-of-the-line speeds, you might want to consider investing in the AX6000 model for that extra boost in performance.

- Super easy/fast setup
- Handles many many connected devices very well
- Companion iOS app works well and has the features I need/want
Cons:
- Expensive
- Looks audacious (I don't like the way it looks...you may, regardless, it's OUT THERE)
- Not all named devices show up properly in the routing table (i.e. My wireless cameras have network names but the router only sees the IP address. You can name devices manually though)
- Local network throughput is much lower than I hoped for (Note: I may have other local network issues contributing to this but low speeds show up between wireless and wired clients)
- Internet scheduling is broken (i.e. You can NOT setup a schedule that goes from 11PM to 7AM; you can setup a schedule from 7PM to 12PM or from 12AM to 7AM though. In other words, you can't have a schedule that refers to both AM and PM in the same schedule)
Background:
I got this router for one main reason...my ISP provided MODEM/router was struggling to keep up with the demands of my growing connected devices. I was encountering three problems: 1) Devices would keep disconnecting from the MODEM/router; 2) Connected devices would "contend" over internet access which caused issues with browsing and streaming; 3) I had to reboot the MODEM/router weekly so it could regain its sanity
I was looking to solve the above problems and an additional benefit I was looking forward to was related to parental controls by setting up schedules, quotas, and remote disconnect of devices.
Experience/Process:
I ran some tests before buying this router and determined that my internet speed/bandwidth was not my issue. So I researched a router that had multiple antennae and beefed up processing power. The setup was super easy and the app used to manage the router has the basic features I was looking for. I have a complex network with multiple routers, switches, and connected devices (both wired and wireless). With full home automation, smart appliances, five family members all with multiple connected devices, and relentless visiting of friends and extended family members, I expected the transition from old to new to be a little more painful. This was not the case. I followed the simple directions and after a couple of reboots I have done almost nothing to adjust/tweak the new router. The new router has been running for a few weeks now and shows no signs of requiring a reboot. No devices have disconnected and browsing/streaming experience is excellent now. Although there is a fair amount of gaming in the house, all gaming devices (consoles and PC's) are wired so I can't speak to wireless latency quality.
Overall Impressions:
I'm super happy with the router because now I can use the internet without thinking about it again...it just works and it's fast. The price tag was pretty hefty though and I'd care less if the access scheduling worked properly and I had better throughput when transferring files between local network clients. That said, scheduling and local file transfers were not the reasons I bought this router and both scheduling and local file transfers are still better than my ISP provided MODEM/router. In the end, it still feels like a win. If you have many connected devices and your internet experience has gotten worse over time, this is probably a great option for you. If you're looking for a wireless gaming router, I have no reason to believe it would not perform as expected but...all of my gaming devices are wired.

Overall I still give this router a 2 thumb up for the no fuss setup as well as it value for money.

TP-Link keeps making better and better products at great prices, hope they don't turn out to be yet another CCP spy company though!
