    No thanks. I'd be scared of this thing coming to life.

    • Lps on 19/08/2019 - 19:50

      I hear ya. It’s a shame this router has to be so horrid. I guess it could live in a cupboard

      just don't put it 'legs down' and it won't try to escape

    I got this at Xmas (for $440) and it has been very very stable and reliable. Had a Netgear R8000 before and it was unstable, needed to be reset about once a week as the radios would stop working or the unit would just stop responding completely. The 5400X resolved all those issues and speed is phenomenal in a two storey house. Can get reception all the way in the street.
    The only issue is that Tplink doesn't release firmware updates very often so I am not sure about long term support.

    This is very old tech. The Viet Cong used this in booby-traps.

        I guess those antennae offered a very different kind of reception.

    Came here just for the antenna comments lol

  • starry001 on 19/08/2019 - 20:25

    Sick of my wifi on my dlink 2888A is this worth it for a router and use the dlink as a modem?

    • ocoolio on 19/08/2019 - 20:48

      worth it

      Are you for real? This is OZBargain, and you are asking whether a wifi router ever worth $400?

    • DemocracyManifest on 20/08/2019 - 06:49

      Find out whether it is your other device is faulty or not set up first, but in my personal experience ISP/under $100 modems from reputable brands are decent for home use

      • starry001 on 20/08/2019 - 07:56

        The Dlink 5ghz is practically unusable from 1m away and the 2.4 struggles

        • DemocracyManifest on 20/08/2019 - 09:12

          See if you can update or flash custom firmware. I was prepared to murder my Telstra Gateway ages back but the culprit was my usb wifi dongle, replaced it with a pci-e internal wireless card and happy days

        • aussietivoman on 21/08/2019 - 10:57

          Dlink are pretty crap.

      • ocoolio on 20/08/2019 - 08:57

        Agreed, there are plenty of really good quality sub-$100 routers out there.
        Sounds like yours is broken, @starry001.

  • FeedingTheSnail on 19/08/2019 - 20:30

    The photo with the ethernet ports makes this thing look huge!

    • SickDmith on 20/08/2019 - 13:16

      Because it is huge.

    All this money and it isnt even AX Still AC. What the actual F!

  • whooah1979 on 19/08/2019 - 20:50

    The C5400 is under $300. Plain old black.

  • Letrico on 19/08/2019 - 20:58

    Does it include one way ticket for teleportation to Mars?

    Ridiculous to buy this over Ubiquiti. Like what a little kid would think is good. Equivalant of putting a Chevvy badge on your Holden.

    • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2019 - 21:43

      ^ No point on spending money on "high end" networking gear when you can get enterprise gear for the same price.

      Ubiquiti is good starting point. If you want to received firmware update (Security/software fixes) down the line none of consumer gear will provide this.

      • aussietivoman on 19/08/2019 - 22:17

        Are you seriously calling Ubiquiti enterprise gear?

        Ubiquiti is good, but enterprise gear - LOL

        • deelaroo on 19/08/2019 - 22:39

          Probably mixed definition on enterprise. If enterprise = any business which is what I think then sure this is enterprise. If you mean enterprise = large business then sure you'd definitely be better with something like Aruba or Cisco.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2019 - 23:15

          Never said specifically Ubiquiti was enterprise. It more like semi-enterprise gear for small business but it has been getting deploy is some bigger business and public areas.

          It by far the more affordable compare to actual enterprise but not every client can afford them.

      • Trishool on 19/08/2019 - 22:50

        I've got the Netgear R8000 and it's still receiving updates after 3 years.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2019 - 23:12

          Last firmware updates was last year. Let wait and see.

    • skyva on 19/08/2019 - 23:37

      I have a unifi security gateway that sits in a cupboard as it has less features and grunt than my asus rt-68u. I run unifi AP though which are good.

      Depending on the FW, home routers can be better than ubiquiti gear unless you really want to spend time setting it up.

      • deelaroo on 20/08/2019 - 08:59

        Yes I am talking about wifi their routers are overpriced crap.

    It doesn't have enough antennas.

  • simontadaa on 20/08/2019 - 02:05

    As someone who really wants to get a router, should I get this? Still using adsl2+ and NBN will be available around mid 2020.

      Wait for a ISP one or buy a used Telstra smart modem v2 off Gumtree

  • foobat on 20/08/2019 - 09:03

    What's the difference between the C5400 and the C5400X?

  • Salmando on 20/08/2019 - 17:08

    I think my nephew got one of these free with his Skylanders game
