Full-Throttle Wireless Performance
The Archer C5400X employs MU-MIMO and Airtime Fairness to balance the requests of every device with speed and precision. Calibrated metrics and sophisticated algorithms determine how the router divides air time and distributes dedicated Wi-Fi streams to each device, leaving you to focus on taking down the opposition instead of fighting your allies for bandwidth.
Far-Reaching Wi-Fi Range
Game from the basement to the garage and even the backyard with RangeBoost, which strengthens reception quality to reinforce connections in your home and keep both older and newer devices connected at greater distances than other routers.
Accelerated
Wired Connections
With eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, you can connect PCs, smart TVs and game consoles to fast, wired connection without needing a switch.
Team two LAN ports using Link Aggregation to double connection speeds from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps for Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices and PCs with LACP. Combine the WAN port with a LAN port to connect DOCSIS 3.1 modems for best-in-industry internet speeds.
Comprehensive Threat Protection
- Malicious Site Blocking
- Intrusion Prevention
- Infected Device Quarantine
Defend your system from malicious threats that can sneak through downloads and file sharing. TP-Link HomeCareTM, powered by Trend MicroTM, protects every device from the latest cyber threats with powerful security, built-in antivirus and cutting-edge intrusion prevention.
Fortified Internet Access
Secure your data no matter where you are by using the built-in VPN and OpenVPN to create a private network with PPTP while VPN Acceleration increases connection speeds up to 5x faster.

* Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume, and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition.
* Use of MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM requires clients to also support those functions.
* A basic TP-Link HomeCareTM, powered by Trend MicroTM, package is included for 3 years from date of activation at no additional cost. It includes Parental controls, Quality of Service, and Antivirus. Deactivation of HomeCareTM will disable certain controls and protections. For a complete list of HomeCareTM functions, go to www.tp-link.com.
* Static Link Aggregation is supported on LAN 2 and LAN 3.
