Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi AX5400 is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 router powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Qualcomm IPQ5018 SoC with a dedicated 1.0 GHz NPU and 512 MB of RAM. It delivers combined wireless speeds of up to 5400 Mbps across dual bands, specifically 4804 Mbps on the 5 GHz band (supporting 160 MHz bandwidth and 4K QAM) and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Main characteristics include six independent signal amplifiers, support for up to 248 simultaneous devices, and versatile connectivity with a 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port alongside three Gigabit LAN ports. Key pros are its robust mesh networking capabilities, dedicated gaming port with bandwidth prioritization, and integrated RGB lighting for a gaming aesthetic. On the downside, the router lacks a USB port for storage sharing, does not include a physical WPS button, and is primarily available as a Chinese-market model which may require a translation app for setup.
