TP-LINK® INTRODUCES ARCHER C5400X TRI-BAND ROUTER FOR ULTIMATE IN-HOME GAMING
BREA, Calif. – Sept. 6, 2018 – TP-Link®, a leading global provider of consumer and business networking products, today unveiled the Archer C5400X MU-MIMO Tri-Band Gaming Router. The powerhouse Archer C5400X is designed to deliver strong, reliable Wi-Fi for heavy-bandwidth gaming and 4K video streaming. Equipped with TP-Link HomeCare™, Archer C5400X routers feature comprehensive security and antivirus protection powered by Trend Micro™ ensuring that devices are always protected from cyber threats*.
"Archer C5400X is our most powerful gaming router yet, made to power the performance that gamers need and give your gaming rig the boost it deserves," said Louis Liu, CEO of TP-Link USA Corporation. "This feature-rich router is designed to connect more devices with speed and precision to maximize throughput and minimize delays whether you're gaming on your own, with family or hosting a LAN party with friends.”
Delivering continuous rapid Wi-Fi across your entire home, Archer C5400X features a powerful, leading-edge 1.8 GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU, three co-processors and 1 GB RAM to reach Wi-Fi speeds up to 5400 Mbps over one 2.4 GHz (1000 Mbps) and two 5 GHz (2167 Mbps) bands**. With three Wi-Fi bands, eight Gigabit LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port, Archer C5400X routers create solid connections for more devices across your network.
The dynamic optimization engine delivers prioritized performance with a gaming mode for a tactical advantage during heated raids, PvP encounters and ranked matches. When you aren’t gaming, fast track streaming to watch immersive 4K movies with stunning clarity.
The Archer C5400X harnesses Smart Connect to take the guesswork out of connecting devices. With Smart Connect enabled, the router identifies the optimal Wi-Fi band for every device and steers them to the right band, intelligently balancing load to deliver peak performance. It also uses MU-MIMO and Airtime Fairness to manage your Wi-Fi needs, maximizing total throughput and minimizing delays.
To further enhance your gaming and streaming experience, C5400X routers are equipped with RangeBoost technology to provide strong reception quality and sensitivity at far distance. This allows you to keep your devices connected throughout the home, from the basement to the garage, and even the backyard, with greater range when compared to traditional routers.**
With TP-Link HomeCare powered by Trend Micro*, Archer C5400X routers go the extra mile by protecting your entire network and all your devices connected to the router from malicious threats and intrusions. The intrusion prevention system safeguards every connected device on the network from outside malware and hackers, while malicious site blocking prevents access to these websites. By continuously scanning for virus patterns, HomeCare is able to identify and stop threats before they hit your home network. An additional layer of security quarantines any previously infected device that joins the network, and instant warnings will allow you to take any necessary steps to quickly fix an infected device.
