ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400
Well now I got this on a Black Friday deal in late November 2021; it replaces another ASUS router. The RT-AC51U which I have been very pleased with – mainly since I used it for a 3/4g mobile as a primary internet connection [& TV internet connector/ mobile phone/ Alexa etc] and it worked rather well.
The new AX5400 arrived in a day from the Amazon people, and I was expecting just a minor upgrade with the Gigabit ports rather than the 100 Lan of its trusty predecessor; but hey…. Speeds are much, much, better in the same USB (actually this is a 3. USB not the 2. of the older one) – remember mine is an android phone connection (XCover 4s – yes, I know but it has a replaceable battery and with a USB C cable it charges from the router too). This setup was best for me since we are in a very rural location and BT quoted an additional £1300 to connect us at 30-50Mbs via fibre (currently less than 2mbs via copper), & digging up the countryside as they said they would have to do – so, my Vodafone delivered about 10Mbs on my unlimited data account for £25 a month. This new router does better than that – I am currently getting about 30Mbs – but it is winter, and the tourists are all departed……
What is clear is that the new router is a major step up from my old one – no I don’t have Wi-Fi 6 or any ax capable equipment, but what I do have is a new router that is very capable and quicker and with a MUCH stronger Wi-Fi signal – moreover with Ai Mesh I can add to it easily. The phone app appears useful too…. hey me as a 60-year-old! – My TUF Gaming days are perhaps over, but as a quality router, this ticks the boxes for me – especially since it fits seamlessly with my mobile data plan. (my calls are of course forwarded to another phone and I leave the data plan as my principal broadband – saves me a broadband monthly cost)

I should point out that I bought this not to use as my main router, but as a repeater for the cameras on my garage. I’d been using some power line adapters and the speed was…less than magical.I’ve got a Netgear RAX200 as my main router.First off, setup.Downloaded the app on my phone. Chose repeater mode. Done.…..no. Surely it can’t be that easy. It must need some config. This is where I find out it’s fighting me in some way.Nope! Doing exactly what I wanted. Right out of the box. Updated the firmware with the app. And my WiFi in the garden has lost its dead spots.I am impressed. Netgear! You should be sweating! I’m changing allegiances for my main router when 6e gets more sensible in price!
