What customers say
Consumers are highly enthusiastic about the AXE5400's ability to use the 6 GHz band for a dedicated, high-speed wireless backhaul, effectively eliminating dead zones and delivering near router speeds. Setup through the Tether application is frequently praised as simple and intuitive. However, this positive reception is tempered by significant concerns regarding long-term reliability. A recurring issue involves intermittent dropping of the 6E connection or unexpected speed fluctuations, forcing the extender onto slower bands. While range extension is strong, maximizing distance often introduces these stability problems. Customers feel that for a premium device, the performance needs greater consistency to fully justify the cost and meet expectations for top-tier networking.
