Setup –
Setting up the C5400X is fairly simple. You can use a connected browser to get things going and then monitor the setup using the tether apps available for both iOS and Android.
The process starts with the selection of an administrator password. Most of the routers in the market ignore this step, so that’s a win for the C5400X. The algorithm tells you how strong or weak your chosen password is.
Next, pick your time zone and the software then asks how your broadband modem connects with your ISP, with the expected choices: dynamic IP, Static IP, PPOE, L2TP, and PPTP. You can use the auto-detect feature, which is flawless in case of the C5400X, while you also get relevant QR codes in case you are using your smartphone for the task.
After typing in the names and passwords for the 2.4GHz and pair of 5GHz networks, the interface shows a settings summary for confirmation. Once done, you can restart the device and you are good to go.
All in all, the setup should not take more than 10 minutes of your time, which is fair considering the bang for buck performance you will get after that.
