ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 – gaming router with capabilities

The Taiwanese brand ASUS has established a strong reputation in the network device market. Initially, a series of routers supporting Mesh technology capable of building a wireless network with perfect coverage. Now, the manufacturer has focused on improving network bandwidth for online gaming. The ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 router is a real breakthrough in IT technologies. Demonstrating reliability in operation, the network device offers extensive functionality and stability.

ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 – specifications and features

The router supports the new wireless standard – Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and the ability to build a network using Mesh technology. Considering that, in addition to the 5 GHz module, it also supports 2.4 GHz, it’s easy to assume that older Wi-Fi protocols will be available to the user.

One of the pleasant aspects is the quality of wireless interfaces. On the 5 GHz frequency, a connection channel can be organized up to speeds of 4804 Mbps. And on the 2.4 GHz channel – up to 574 Mbps. Moreover, the declared technical specifications are confirmed by testing – this is ASUS. Plus, it’s part of the gaming ROG series.

The manufacturer didn’t skimp on the hardware responsible for performance. The ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 is equipped with 512 MB of RAM and a 256 MB Flash storage. This is enough for the chip to operate even under maximum loads.

Regarding ports, the ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 doesn’t boast anything extraordinary. The classic set for all devices of the Taiwanese brand remains unchanged:

• 1 WAN port for internet connection up to 1 Gbps.
• 4 LAN ports (all gigabit).
• 1 USB 3.2 port.

And of course, the router is equipped with customizable RGB lighting. Its feature is the ability to adjust and have effects. You can link color schemes to different modes of operation to know the router’s status or what tasks it is performing.

Gaming capabilities of the ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 router

The main feature of the device is the VPN Fusion technology. This function can simultaneously use VPN and open internet connection. With minimal latency, the router can forward ports not only from selected devices but even from applications.

There is a useful feature available in business segment routers like Cisco, which redistributes traffic between devices. Load balancing or setting priorities – the user can choose. The main thing is that everything works as declared in the technical documentation of the ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400.

The built-in AiProtection Pro security system, which we have encountered before when familiarizing ourselves with the ASUS RT-AC66U B1 router, is also noteworthy. A free firewall with antivirus, operating at the hardware level – it’s cool and practical.
