[@_Mohanned]

Yo man, it's been about 2 months now and I don't know if you still have it. If you do, could you let me know how it's been holding up so far?

[@flu1071]

So this connects to my normal wi fi router and helps speed up connection?

[@qwazyd0gg]

This connects to your existing modem, or modem/router combo from your internet service provider. And yes, the performance on this would far exceed your provided device from your service provider.

[@qwazyd0gg]

You will need to pay a provider for internet. This will just wirelessly distribute that signal from your ISP router.

[@qwazyd0gg]

It depends on your area. Some regions have internet for as low as $10 for those who qualify. For me, I pay about $90/month.

[@Sw4ggerr]

So can I use this just like normal WiFi such as Xfinity and windstream, everyone can use it at once? If so, please let me know :)

[@qwazyd0gg]

Yup. This would replace the router portion of the modem supplied by your ISP.

[@cph3459]

I currently have a dual band Linksys AC1200, I have the modem connected into a 10 port switch and then from the switch to the router. I bought this to either extend the range and have the old router bridge to this one from an outer building that is an the fringe of the Linksys wifi range. I pretty much have everything cabled to the netgear switch (TV, Security system, AVR and so on) This TP link has many more connections, do I still need the switch?

[@qwazyd0gg]

I would say you might not need the switch. You can also go one more model up to the new AX1000 I think it's called, which has 8 onboard gigabit LAN ports.

Not really , unless our planning to use this router for something else than high speed internet , the nitty gritty details help manage network traffic but it doesnt guarantee a smooth internet experience , it will depend on the isp your subscribed to , like you just described , either way , buying this router will make little to no difference compared to other newer capabale and cheap routers , something like tp link ac1900 will do just fine without shelling out too much money.

I haven't used the VPN on this one yet; however, it looks very simplistic if you check the settings layout for it. The user interface feels more organized and better optimized for mobile on the X variant of the router. I haven't used the base C5400 for over a year, so maybe they've updated it's firmware to match... I'm just unsure.

And what is the benefit of using these ports ?thanks a million.Love your channel

[@qwazyd0gg]

First off... BIG THANKS for the kind words. It is fine to use port 1 and 2 for standard equipment if link aggregation is disabled (It is by default). If you ever think you will have hardware needs that require it in the future, you could always choose to use ports 3 and 4 now instead and leave 1 and 2 open for the future without the need to rewire anything if the opportunity presents itself.

Qwazyd0gg How would this compare to the AX88U vs the C5400X and which one is better?

[@qwazyd0gg]

Their feature set is honestly identical as far as automated QoS, trend micro support, and more. The TP-Link has more LAN support plus 2gbps connections for NAS and "future proofing". I haven't used the Asus, but I can tell you I'm extremely impressed with the TP-Link unit.

[@MrEggyman99]

@@notdios3084 AX is only worth it if all your devices are compatible, otherwise just stick with AC as it's more common. (the AX88U is also Dual-band unlike the C5400X which is Tri-band)

[@gurqa7041]

So you’re telling me I can buy a one time fee $280 router that is 10x better than my crappy router that I have to pay for monthly?

[@qwazyd0gg]

The router will provide a better experience with range and speed consistency, providing your issues are with just the router now. Replacing the router will not fix issues caused by your ISP or current internet subscription tier.

[@gurqa7041]

Well my main problem is that my latency goes really high when other people are using the internet so buying this router would help with that?

[@qwazyd0gg]

It could. Having better throughput and more frequency bands may help direct traffic more appropriately. Worst case if it doesn't help you can just return it

I just won this on a auction for 180cad

[@qwazyd0gg]

Nice!

[@strawhatmic8006]

bought this already used router for $75

[@qwazyd0gg]

Insane deal!

You said everything but Alexa

[@qwazyd0gg]

I can't recall if this uses Alexa or not. I'm not an adopter of that ecosystem, so I hadn't tested that feature if it is present.

[@onlyme6479]

Just sent mine back what a pile of shit my old netgear R7000 was better. Most reviewers are payed to say they are good. Check the forums on the state of this Router.

[@qwazyd0gg]

That sucks man :( I can tell you I don’t get paid for reviews or even know how that would work, but I used this router for close to two years before upgrading to the newer wifi 6 version, which now is also working great for my needs.

300 bucks holy shi

[@MrVuckFiacom]

I have this router and I have had nothing but trouble. It would slow my gigabit speeds down to 300mbps, and when I plugged back into my Comcast modem, I got 900-1gbps. I factory reset the router and it fixed it temporarily, but ended up going back down to 300mbps again. I'm never buying TP-Link ever again.
