Features

Overview: The NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) WiFi Router
with simultaneous Dual-Band performance delivers combined WiFi speeds of up to
5.4Gbps. The AX5400\’s powerful 1.5GHz tri-core processor gives you a
high-performance networking engine for faster connections. Incorporating the
latest WiFi 6 technology (802.11ax),
the AX5400 features proven high-performance while preventing lag spikes, drop
outs, and high ping times for better VR gaming, 4K streaming, web-surfing, and
more.

1.5GHz Tri-Core Processor: The NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400
utilizes a powerful 1.5GHz tri-core processor to separate processes and
prioritize high performance WiFi connections to get maximum combined WiFi speeds
of up to 5.4Gbps, with up to 6 streams available. 160MHz channel support lets
you enjoy 1Gbps WiFi speeds for fast streaming and downloading on newer mobile
devices.

IPv6: The AX5400 supports Internet Protocol version 6 and can
be configured as such.

Dual-Band WiFi: Dual-band WiFi delivers up to 5.4Gbps
combined WiFi speeds through two dedicated WiFi bands. Both WiFi bands can
operate simultaneously and provide up to 4 separate streams in the 5GHz band,
and 2 separate streams in the 2.4GHz band. Dual-band WiFi
combined with the intelligence to segregate traffic based on WiFi speed and load
balancing provides the best performance for multiple WiFi devices in your home.
Both bands are backwards compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WiFi.

• 5GHz (ax): 4×4 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 20/40/80/160MHz, up to
  4.8Gbps
• 2.4GHz (ax): 2×2 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 20/40MHz, up to
  600Mbps

Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS): QoS resolves internet traffic
congestion when you have competing internet demands at home. QoS identifies
your online activities by application and device, then utilizes bandwidth
allocation and traffic prioritization techniques to automatically allocate
more bandwidth to latency sensitive applications like online gaming and
video streaming. This ensures that lower priority applications continue to
work.

Beamforming+ (Explicit & Implicit): Beamforming+ boosts speed, reliability, and
range of WiFi connections on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Unlike typical WiFi
routers that just blast the WiFi signals in all directions; with
Beamforming+ (Explicit), the router actively tracks connected devices and directs power to
the router antenna closest to the client device. With Beamforming+ (Implicit), the router can use
information from client devices that support Implicit Beamforming for even
greater WiFi speed,
reliability, and range.

Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO): MU-MIMO capability allows you to
simultaneously stream up to 4 devices at the same time on the 5GHz band and 2
devices on the 2.4GHz band. With MU-MIMO, your WiFi network can deliver faster
throughput to every MU-MIMO connected device. That means faster downloads and
smoother streaming for your devices.

Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Five Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000
ports (1 WAN & 4 LAN) allow you to connect multiple wired devices. The WAN port
is used to connect your internet modem, while the LAN ports are used to connect
your local network devices.

Nighthawk App: The Nighthawk App for

iOS and

Android devices makes it easy and intuitive to setup and use the NETGEAR
Nighthawk AX5400 router. With the Nighthawk app, you can install your router
using very few steps – just connect your mobile device to the default network,
and the app will walk you through the rest. The app automatically updates the
router to the latest firmware, allows you to personalize your WiFi network, and
even help register your router with NETGEAR. The intuitive Nighthawk app
dashboard lets you monitor your home network from most anywhere, check broadband
speeds from your service provider, pause the internet to any connected device,
track internet data usage, and setup separate networks for guests.

security service that\’s powered by Bitdefender, a global leader in
cybersecurity. NETGEAR Armor protects your home network from potential cyber
threats and provides complete data protection, advanced threat defense, parental
control, webcam

with multiple performance and privacy tools that can be viewed and configured on
PC, Mac OS, iOS, and Android devices.

Smart Parental Controls: NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls lets you
create custom profiles to manage online time for children and pause internet
service for needed breaks. With a NETGEAR Armor subscription, you can get a
detailed report of your child\’s internet usage, the ability to block any sites, as well as
set up filters and internet time-limits.

VPN: The AX5400 router lets you create a VPN (Virtual
Private Network) to securely access your network via the internet when you are
not at home. The VPN feature must be enabled on the router and you must install
and run VPN client software on the computer.

Voice Control: The AX5400 lets you control you WiFi network with simple voice
commands using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (sold separately) connected
to the same network.

USB Port (ReadySHARE): A single USB 3.0 port on the router can be
used to connect a USB storage device such as a flash drive, hard drive, or
printer. The router works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard
drives (if your USB drive uses special drivers, it is not compatible). You
can share data that is stored on most common USB storage devices across your
WiFi network with ReadySHARE USB Storage Access. ReadySHARE lets you access
and share a USB drive connected to the router\’s USB port. Do not connect
computers, USB modems, CD drives, or DVD drives to the router\’s USB port.

Memory: The NETGEAR router features 256MB of
NAND flash memory and 512MB of DDR3 SDRAM.

Antennas: The AX5400 includes 4 active enhanced antennas
that can be swiveled and tilted for
optimum performance.

Mounting Options: The NETGEAR router can simply be placed on
a flat-surface table-top or it can be wall-mounted using its integrated keyhole
slots (mounting screws not included).

System Requirements: Make sure your home network meets the
following system requirements.

• Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista
  / XP / 2000, Mac OS, UNIX, or Linux.
• Internet Browser: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome 55 or higher, Firefox 45 or higher,
