TP-Link Archer C5400X

What’s the difference between one router and another? Much of that comes down to you. How many people are going to connect? How much bandwidth are you getting from your ISP?

"One day, I will stand up in front of this room and teach a class at this university," I joked with my friend back when we were both in our second year of undergraduate studies in 2010. We both laughed at this idea, knowing full well it is a pretty unlikely reality.

What makes computer networking so interesting? I would say the sheer novelty of seeing a packet making it from my house here in Canada to a town as far as Australia with each node only knowing the next hop in the route. The way internet backbone equipment handles traffic to the performance of local wireless access points in modern times is also mind boggling. In fact, consumer wireless routers have come from boxes that could barely crack a megabit per second in real life to modern equipment faster than wired networks of yesteryear is downright impressive. Take a look at the TP-Link Archer C5400X, for example. With a 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU, three co-processors, 1GB RAM, triple bands for a combined 5334 Mbps theoretical bandwidth, and built-in antivirus protection, just how amazing is it?
