Since its launch in 1999, WiFi has consistently got better with upgrades to its protocol. The current protocol, simply called WiFi 6, offers faster speeds, better bandwidth and larger maximum throughput than its predecessor, WiFi 5. The D-Link DIR-X5460 is one of the latest WiFi 6 routers to hit the market. It has been priced relatively well and the router claims up to six simultaneous 4k streams, which is impressive.

The box the router came in is huge, which was a little surprising since most routers have very small boxes. On opening the box, we found the router to be proportionally large, however, it was very light. The router was packed securely and had four of its six antennas permanently attached. The other two were colour-coded and had to be attached according to the colour, one was silver while the other was gold. The router came with a power adapter, a LAN wire and a few bits of documentation, including a very useful quick installation card.
