Why do you need Wi-Fi 6 (11ax)? Because your smart home isn’t reaching the limits of its
potential. The most common Wi-Fi standards in use today simply aren’t built to support
multiple personal devices and smart home gadgets running simultaneously 24/7. The
DIR-X5460 AX5400 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router brings next-generation Wi-Fi technology into
your home, giving you the quantum leap in capacity and bandwidth to support more
devices at once. By combining high-speed 802.11ax Wi-Fi with dual-band technology and
Gigabit Ethernet ports, the DIR-X5460 provides a seamless networking experience with a
high degree of convenience and exibility.

Mind-Blowing Speed and Range

The DIR-X5460 AX5400 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router brings a host of new technologies to create the
best wireless networking experience to date. Unlike the existing 11ac wireless standard that
operates only in the 5 GHz range, Wi-Fi 6 fully utilizes both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It also
comes with 1024 QAM to boost throughput to devices by up to 25%, and 160 MHz contiguous
channel width for even more bandwidth. All this adds up to whopping combined speeds of up
to 5,400 Mbps (600 Mbps + 4,800 Mbps). Built-in Power Ampliers and beamforming extend
the reach of your Wi-Fi and direct the signals where they need to go. Wi-Fi 6 lets you unleash all
that lightning-fast Wi-Fi goodness over larger areas than ever - from bedroom and bathroom all
the way to basement and backyard.

Made for Smart Home

The DIR-X5460 upgrades your network to the latest Wi-Fi 6 wireless technology which supports
6 simultaneous streams so it easily handles all the connected devices you can throw at it all at
the same time. Enjoy simultaneous throughput to multiple devices for seamless high denition
streaming media, VR gaming, and cloud storage. In addition, the 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet WAN port gives you fast paced Internet access, future proong your Internet. The
built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritize trac to your preferred client,
ensuring that your favorite devices are receiving optimal bandwidth.

Exceptional Capacity

If you thought MU-MIMO in your Wi-Fi was cool, wait till you meet
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). It’s a signature
technology in Wi-Fi 6 that splits a channel into four sub-channels. The result?
Signals from multiple devices get transmitted together in one shot and
never have to queue up again. Get an incredible 4x boost in your bandwidth
capacity - perfect for smart homes lled with bandwidth-hungry IoT devices
threatening to devour your Wi-Fi capacity.

Unprecedented Network Eciency

There’s nothing worse than inecient Wi-Fi putting a damper on your
network experience. In environments with multiple routers or access points,
BSS Coloring makes transmissions more unique by ‘coloring’ them with their
own unique code resulting in less interference and more range in congested
Wi-Fi environments. Target Wake Time (TWT) schedules transmissions for
client devices eciently, meaning they know when to be ready for data, and
when to take a break, increasing your devices battery life. With the DIR-X5460,
give your smart home the network eciency boost it deserves.
