- General
- Product Name: WiFi 5 Router Dual-Band AC1200
- Brand: Linksys
- Model Number: E5400
- Color: Black
- Security
- Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Network
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 1500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)

Whats Included
- WiFi 5 Router Dual-Band AC1200
Q: Can I switch from 2.5 to 5 G and switch back as needed
A: Hi, DNice. You can select which band or network you will connect your devices to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz with the Linksys E5400 Dual-Band AC1200 Router.
Q: I have a 2 story house, 4 devices,will this work downstairs also ?
A: Works fine in mine. But is yours a 1,200 square foot two story house or a 12,000 square foot two story house?
Q: What max mbps can this router handle?
A: Hi, Ben. The 2.4 Ghz band supports up to 300Mbps while the 5GHz band supports up to 867Mbps.
Q: Is this router has QoS setting? Can I limit down speed, has it this smart feature? Thank you.
A: Yes. For guidance on configuring device prioritization for the Linksys E5400, please visit the following link: https://www.linksys.com/support-article?articleNum=316214
Q: Can you use a prepaid AT&T data hotspot wifi card with this to use hotspot?
A: Hi, Linda. Our Linksys routers along with the Linksys E5400 needs to be connected to a modem/gateway or upstream device with an active internet connection, for it to work.
Q: does this work with windows 7
A: Yes, Kenny. It should work as long as the device is capable of both wired and wireless connections.
A: Probably not in the way you are expecting. It CAN be used to get the printer connected to WiFi, but there's a lot of other configuration necessary to use the printer afterward. What you want is something like a TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) for example, which is suited to your purpose when configured correctly.
Q: Does this work with Spectrum?
A: Yes, Abdul. The router will work with any Internet Service Provider.
