    Does anyone have any experience with this router? I like tp links range expanders so i chose this over the linksys to upgrade my nighthawk x4s.

    Installed the router today, it is taking the place of my nighthawk x4s, so far this router is a beast.

    I recently upgraded from a NH x4S to the TP Archer C5400 and have no issues so far.

    Interesting, let us know what you did to fix that issue. I should get a large external drive and do this with my movies one of these days.

    Seems the problem was i had to clear the kodi movie and tv library, i have a 2 tb drive i use as a movie server and a 500 gb drive as a tv show server. once the libraries were cleaned, kodi reread each drive and all movies and shows are working properly.

    Instead of wasting money on "high end" consumer routers, look into Mikrotik or Ubiquity routers.
