Pros and cons

Pros

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 supports modern wireless clients while the listed standards also include older Wi-Fi generations.
USB 3.0 media sharing and private cloud storage add a use for the router beyond wireless access.
The included package list specifies a power adapter and RJ45 Ethernet cable.

Cons

The listed LAN bandwidth is 10/100/1000 Mbps, so the provided specifications do not indicate multi-gigabit wired LAN ports.
The claimed wireless rate and coverage are manufacturer/listing figures, not guaranteed speeds or room-by-room coverage.

What to know before buying

A modem is required for most internet service providers, according to the listing. The listed speed and coverage depend on conditions, distance, connected devices and obstacles such as walls.
The details list five ports and a USB port, but do not specify how the total port count is divided between WAN, LAN and USB. Check port layout against your wired-device needs.

Listing details to confirm

The title calls this AX5400, while the details list 5378 megabits_per_second and the feature text describes up to 5400 Mbps. These are inconsistent listing representations of the rate, so treat AX5400 as the product class rather than a guaranteed measured throughput. The claimed range is also conditional on the home and client setup.

Customer feedback highlights easy setup and navigation, speed, signal strength and range, including reports of signal reaching through thick walls. These perceptions align with the router's listed app control, antennas and beamforming, but do not establish a particular speed or coverage result.

That matters for buyers weighing long-term dependability and cost against the claimed Wi-Fi 6 capabilities.
