Which one?
AX5400 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.
My point of this post is to try and gather information to help me get the best performance out of this router.
Start with the manual.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
I've heard you can get better performance out of routers according to what channel you choose for your network? Or by changing the mghz or something?
Heard where? The Internet is full of useless, misleading and often dangerous rubbish.
In general it is a good idea to leave things alone until you have a problem that you want to fix.
