Archer C5400 delivers combined Tri-Band Wi-Fi speeds to 5334Mbps, establishing a network that can connect more devices without slowing down.

Smart Connect helps devices run even faster by assigning them to the best available channel to balance network demand.

The Archer C5400 gets a performance boosts of up to 25%, thanks to NitroQAMTM (1024-QAM) and 4-Stream. These advanced technologies allow the router's 2.4GHz band and both of its 5GHz bands to provide speeds of up to 1000Mbps and 2167Mbps, respectively.

Eight antennas with Beamforming Technology detect the locations of your connected devices and concentrate wireless signal strength toward them.

3G/4G dongle and external hard drives can connect directly to the Archer C5400 via its USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, making it easy to share 3G/4G connections, files, photos, music, and video across your network.

To help your wired devices achieve peak performance for smooth gaming and streaming, the four Gigabit Ethernet ports operate 10x faster than standard Ethernet.
