TUF Gaming AX5400 (TUF-AX5400)

Who’s it For?

I’m a big fan of the TUF series, as it truly does mean TOUGH. From build quality to features, the AX5400 is robust, with AiProtection Pro, WPA3 Security, and rental controls that make it more secure than your typical consumer routers. It’s also been put through a robust series of humidity, I/O, Stress and EMI tests. Heck, even the Antenna are thicker and fixed so they’re harder to break. Toughness is one thing, but with six powerful antennae, it’s ideal for space up to 150m², meaning you’ll get potent WiFi speeds even at the end of your garden and maybe a few more gardens away too.

It’s well suited to family life, offering fast speeds for a high number of devices over a larger area. You get gaming priority from the 2Gbps LAN ports, and the security and family protection features make it easy to ensure online safety, or just lock your kids internet down if they’ve not done their homework.
