For almost 8 years, I had been using the same reliable D-Link DIR-880L router. However, when I upgraded my cable modem, the DIR-880L did not allow me to get the full speed provided by my ISP. Hence, I upgraded to the D-Link WiFi 6 Router AX5400. After receiving the new router, I downloaded the D-Link WiFi app onto my phone and scanned in the provided QR code. Everything seemed to go okay, but I did not get any internet connection after multiple attempts. Even when connecting my laptop through ethernet cable, I could not manually set up things in the configuration webpage. I called my ISP to reset the cable modem, but I still could not get internet connection between the cable modem and router. So, I hypothesized that the D-Link provided low profile (thin) ethernet cable might be faulty. I switched to a standard ethernet cable, and, that solved the whole connection issue! This is the fourth time that I have seen faulty ethernet (even brand new) cables from different suppliers through the years. So, if you have internet connection issues during setup, please try another ethernet cable! Anyway, the D-Link phone app is useful to configure separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz options; it seems easier to work with this app than the web-based configuration page. Now I get greatly improved speeds though out the house.

After using the stock firmware for a while: It functions but is missing a couple desired features (separating 2.4 and 5 wifi names, for instance). Seems very focused on being easy to use rather than power-user capable. Range and speed are pretty good AFAICT.BUT. OpenWRT was easy to install, it has plenty of RAM for tons of modules, and I now have everything I could ever dream of within easy reach. Which was the main reason this was even on my "to buy" list. So I'm super happy with it.

I use this as a second router and my ATT as primary. Have multiple WIFI's at our house

Just buy it it works great with frontier fios.The only thing you have to do is release your DHCP from your old router settings and immediately unplug it so it dosent grab a new lease and you're good to go.250mbps on 5g and 120 on 2g covers a 1500sqft house fine.

I was initially confused by setup. I am not very computer savvy. The directions would be more helpful if they had you initially connect the router to your computer via cable. You can then use your computer to complete setup if you don't want to scan the code they provide. (I couldn't get my phone to scan the code). Once I connected the router to the computer, setup was straightforward. The only other issue is with streaming. For some reason, when we try to stream Netflix on our living room TV, about 15 feet from the router with two walls in between, the signal keeps dropping. It doesn't happen with other streaming services and it doesn't happen in other rooms so I'm not certain what's going on.

Previously had a tplink 1750 router running openwrt, on the speed test I was getting 130 Mbps, this router puts down a solid 200+ Mbps on stock software, For under $40 its a decent speed upgrade. I run two gaming rigs while video streaming ect is going on in the living room and there isn't a noticable performance loss, I call it a win.

I bought this router for a faster through put and range in the house. I found the throughput definitely increased to near gig speeds with the advanced WiFi standards. The mimo technology did increase the range but, Unfortunately i still had to buy an extender to adequately cover my 2500 sq space as the signal is weakened by the cinder block construction.

Easy to set up seems stronger then older would recommend worse what I paid for it

Works great for what I needed. No reason not to give it 5 stars other than nothing is perfect

I've bought D-Link routers for years, and now that I'm building a network for a "smart" house, I wanted to upgrade to 802.11ax and use this router along with my previous D-Link router to provide a separate physical network for my IoT devices, however once I got to setting it up, I see that the DIR-X5460 does not support static routes to LAN ports (only WAN). I'm returning this item, and trying an ASUS WiFi6 router. This is probably a rare situation for most users, but thought I'd review it.
