    The Archer C5400: An Achievement in Modern Networking
    An annual event since 1953, the Hamburg-based iF International Forum Design GmbH analyzes products from every industry to earn the honor of this gold standard of excellence, choosing the Archer C5400 in the Product category. Emphasizing a cutting-edge aesthetic that balances industrial precision and modern minimalism, the Archer C5400 presents a progressive direction for home networking. From its exterior, every detail achieves symmetry from every angle, embodying accuracy and harmony. Eight powerful antennas easily articulate straight up for optimal transmission, and sit flush with the top side of the router when down. Leaving a smaller footprint than other routers of similar performance, its compact, more subtle design allows discreet storage as well as captivating display. Within the home, the Archer C5400 expresses technical prowess within in a simple, subtle design.
