The ROG Strix GS-AX5400 is a WiFi 6 gaming router that gives you fast and smooth WiFi gaming connections.

With WiFi speeds up to 5400 Mbps (4804 Mbps+ 574 Mbps), it's ready for the most intense matches, and with fully customizable ASUS Aura RGB lighting effects, it looks great too.

The dedicated Gaming Port on GS-AX5400 is a special LAN port that automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. You don't need to configure it, just connect your gaming PC or console to the gaming port to put it at the head of the queue for a fast, stable connection.

With easy three-step port forwarding. It's never been simpler to improve your connection speed, lobby wait times, and overall gameplay - even if the host uses different types of NAT.

Tap to enable Mobile Game Mode in the ASUS Router app on your phone, and you're ready for full-speed mobile gaming, with minimum lag and latency.

With the VPN Fusion you can run both a VPN and an ordinary internet connection - simultaneously. So even if other network users need to use a VPN, you can still enjoy maximum gaming speeds.

For total peace of mind, GS-AX5400 includes ASUS AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro, with automatic, regularly updated security signatures to protect all your devices and personal data from internet threats.

ASUS AiMesh combines multiple AiMesh-compatible ASUS routers to create a whole-home mesh WiFi system with centralized control. You can use a single SSID for your entire home network, with seamless coverage and no more dead zones.
