Video review from the channel ASUS ROG BALTICS

When you plug this network router into your modem via Ethernet, you get plenty of fast ports and a very strong wireless network. It is possible to connect from points that did not receive Wi-Fi before, and to fix slow or problematic networks.

This router has a lot of very good features.

To provide drives with fast internet and close several specific tasks, such as support for Wi-Fi 6 and a special game mode, we decided to update the router.

ASUS ROG Strix GS-AX5400 router is an excellent gaming router - beautiful as usual, but besides that, it's also functional.

The design and structure of the monitor is simply ROG. I cannot describe it any better way. It looks fantastic.

ASUS ROG STRIX GS-AX5400, in principle, a very good router, which was under serious pressure from its own counterpart from the neighboring line. And let it, unlike TUF does not support work with RADIUS servers - it is interesting unless to providers (they all the same prefer much cheaper models), but absence of MU-MIMO really frustrates (though client devices with the implemented technology are still quite a bit) ).
