From the manufacturer

Simultaneous Triband: 1 x 2.4 GHz and 2 x 5 GHz

The Archer C5400 is equipped with Triband technology simultaneously on three separate Wi-Fi channels. Smart Connect automatically assigns each device to the least frequented band to distribute network utilization and ensure maximum speed.

4 streams for maximum Wi-Fi speed

The Archer C5400 boasts advanced Broadcom NitroQAM technology and 4 streams, surpassing the wireless performance of traditional routers by up to 25%. This gives you breakthrough speeds to run multiple bandwidth-intensive applications in parallel.

MU-MIMO – More speed for more devices

The Archer C5400 supports multi-user MIMO. While traditional routers can only communicate with one device at the same time, the Archer C5400 is capable of sending data to multiple devices simultaneously, at up to 4x faster speeds.

Maximum coverage and reach

Eight external high-performance antennas optimize the range and signal stability of the Wi-Fi connection. Beamforming allows the C5400 to locate the connected devices and send out its signal in a targeted manner – for even better Wi-Fi reception in bars/restaurants or in smaller offices.

Powerful processors

The powerful 1.4GHz dual-core processor and 3 co-processors ensure fastest data transfer in LAN and WLAN, even with simultaneous online gaming and 4K HD video streaming on multiple devices.

Ultra-fast speed via USB and cable

With two multi-function USB ports (1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0), files, photos, music and videos on external media can be easily and quickly shared with other users on your network. Thanks to 4 Gigabit LAN ports, you can also benefit from ultra-fast data transfers over cable.

The ideal router for your home entertainment

The Archer C5400 is the ideal router for your home entertainment. Whether in the extended family, student shares or LAN parties, the Archer C5400 can handle multiple bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously and provides optimal Wi-Fi coverage even in remote areas.

Easy to set up and operate

Thanks to the intuitive web interface and Tether app, the Archer C5400 can be set up in minutes. The Tether app allows easy network management such as Set access restrictions at any time and from anywhere from any Android and iOS device.
