Product details

The growing number of networked personal and IoT devices has led to a general increase in network density, pushing the current WLAN standard to its limits. The latest 802.11ax standard offers future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency, faster WLAN speeds, greater coverage, and improved battery life for connected devices, providing users with a much better networking experience.

802.11ax technology, with a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, delivers up to four times the network capacity and efficiency in environments with heavy network traffic. The previous generation, 802.11ac WLAN can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, leading to inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax WLAN standard divides each channel into small subchannels, allowing signals from multiple devices to be bundled and transmitted simultaneously.

The RT-AX55 comes with a lifetime, free license of AiProtection Classic powered by Trend Micro with automatic, regularly updated security signatures to protect your devices and personal information from internet threats. This powerful security solution offers parental controls, including the ability to block specific websites and app types. In most cases, the RT-AX55 is sufficient to provide your entire living space with fast and reliable Wi-Fi. However, WLAN coverage can be affected by many factors, including room layout, building materials, and even furniture.

ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that addresses these issues by using multiple ASUS routers to create a complete WLAN network throughout the house. AiMesh is powerful, flexible, and can utilize a mix of different ASUS router models, allowing you to continue using your existing devices. AiMesh offers a time-saving way to control all routers centrally and enables seamless roaming throughout the network. AiMesh is the WLAN you can rely on for all your devices at any time.
