Redmi AX5400 the new Gaming Router with WiFi 6 and RGB lighting

Redmi adds another new member to its family of routers, this time with a model specifically designed for the gaming world, the Redmi AX5400.

The first Redmi gaming router includes Wi-Fi 6 with a theoretical maximum speed that could reach 5400 Mbps and with 4 external antennas. It stands out for its futuristic design and its RGB LED front lighting strips with 16 million tones that adapt perfectly to the gaming aesthetic. Everything in the Redmi AX5400 router is aimed at accelerating wireless connectivity to improve online gaming, and we even have 2 WAN ports, one of them high speed 2.5G. Interesting router with a fairly contained price, at least in China, a country where until now it is only available.

In the Redmi AX5400 we have a 2.5G WAN port and another Gigabit for the connection bridge with our router and three distribution Gigabit LAN ports. In terms of operating system, we have one based on OpenWRT with the corresponding MiWiFi layer, which we can manage and monitor through a Redmi app.
