TP-Link Archer AXE5400 Review 2026

The 6 GHz band, done right — a 2025 Editors' Choice pick

The Archer AXE5400 is a tri-band, 6-stream Wi-Fi 6E router with a dedicated 6 GHz band for clean, low-interference connections — and the model's 2025 PCMag Editors' Choice nod reflects that. It's for households with Wi-Fi 6E devices (recent phones, laptops, headsets) that want the fastest, quietest lanes. It's more than you need if you don't have 6 GHz clients yet. In testing, 6 GHz devices held steadier speeds and lower latency than mixed-band alternatives.
